We've combined all of things we personally enjoyed the most from the vacation rentals we've stayed in and made them all a part of Still Point Retreat , such as; covered porches with beautiful views, a modern farmhouse interior, a private and secluded property with acreage, a workout room, unique and original artwork throughout, tons of games (board & arcade), a large soaking tub, an unusual selection of books & decor and plenty of comfy blankets to wrap up in.
We hope you love Still Point Retreat every bit as much as we do, and we look forward to having you as our guests.
