Serene Retreat

Simultaneously luxurious and rustic, Marion's little equine corner of the world is singular. The suite is well appointed and the ever changing pond view through the wall of windows would be difficult to tire of. A walk around the grounds to see the wide variety of avian life is recommended. Marion invited us to a meet and greet with four of her pretty horses and it was a swell party.

Beautiful and peaceful property

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Marion. The property is beautiful with window views to the trees and pond and to the amazing stars at night. The chairs and bed allowed such spectacular views of the stars and the property. We really enjoyed talking with Marion and sharing our joint love of nature.

Transformational Idyllic refuge from the quotidian

Marion is blessed with a phenomenal piece of property and keeps the place sparkling clean! She is a kind, thoughtful, considerate and generous host! Charlie (the cat) and Marion facilitate the most amazing getaway if you love nature, and the horses are warm and affectionate too. This is a very special place we look forward to returning to again to admire the seasonal change.

Awesome getaway!!

My girlfriend and I just spent this weekend here, can’t say enough good about it. Marion is a wonderful person and is a fantastic hostess who makes you feel right at home. The property is very private, quiet, and peaceful. The room is very nice, comfortable bed, beautiful bathroom (huge bathtub), lots of windows to enjoy the scenery. Marion brought us jars of sweet tasting well water, a nice breakfast and coffee each morning, and even sent me home with some catnip for the cat. Got to visit and pet the horses. If you’re looking for a quiet and peaceful retreat, this is your place! You won’t want to leave

About the host

Hosted by Marion Rose Brill

Horses are my passion. I train, breed and share them. I also love to read, garden, draw and paint. I love Nature and consider myself an environmentalist. I hate what we've done and what we are doing to the Earth. I am a Reiki Master Practitioner and Master Teacher in the Usui and the Sai Baba Reiki Systems of Natural Healing. I also offer Equine Therapeutic Interaction, using my special horses. I also would be happy to just to share the horses with you, letting you create your own boundaries.

Why they chose this property

I consider it a huge Blessing to live here on this beautiful, enchanting land. I am so grateful I have been given the opportunity to make a living here, by sharing the experience with others. This place is a unique window to Nature, and filled with wild things. Beautiful birds, amphibians, butterflies, moths, flowers, trees and animals. Every spot is saturated with loveliness.

What makes this property unique

On its own, Nature heals. Being able to go out into the country and breathe in the clean air, the serenity, the peace of being in a place that is separate from the human condition, that goes on despite our doings, gives one a mental, spiritual, emotional and physical transformation, a lovely adjustment.
Besides Nature, the bath itself is gorgeous. Lying back and relaxing in a Japanese style Soaking tub, in the middle of shimmering blue tiles, with the lights dimmed is an experience in itself.
