We had a great experience in the Timeless Retreat. It was perfect for a long weekend visiting family. It’s so nice to have a kitchen and private bedrooms when traveling with young kids and we were able to have out of town family come to us and had plenty of space to be comfortable! This location was great to easily run to wal-mart and have pizza delivered.

Great little house! Creaky floors, so no hide and seek! Not the best parking situation. Glad we stayed though.

Everything was great. Only issue was parking. Driveway too small for our vehicle and you have to hope you can park close by on street, fills quickly. But no complaints otherwise.
