Wedding Weekend

Great location with easy walk to the charming main street of Ferndale. Such a wonderful home for a family stay! Fully equipped with anything and everything you would need for your visit. Great spaces for relaxation, conversation, cooking meals together....I could go on and on about this property. The downstairs ensuite bathroom was incredible and so tastefully done as was the rest of the home. The size of the kitchen and it's workspace was unreal....this place will make you wish you didn't have to leave!

Sweet Retreat is really Sweet.

This was our second trip to Sweet Retreat. We had to cancel last year because of my son's cancer. We would like to just move in and stay permanently. It is homey and allows for all of us to find our own space. It has every thing you need to prepare food of your choice. You enjoy cooking and having family close. Ferndale is always special and you find family there even when you don't have any. Town closes fairly early, but coming home to this beautiful and comfy home makes for the close of a perfect day.

a little piece of Heaven!

We stayed Monday thru Saturday. A great bit roomy comfy extremely well-stocked house! just like the listing says. The big yard was perfect for the dog - he could lay in the garage on cool cement, or go on the deck and look at us in the house and he could trot around the corner passed the enormous hot tub into another little courtyard to do his business. Perfect! The decor is beautiful. The furniture is heavy and sturdy - giant leather couches that recline. The kitchen is huge and we cooked breakfasts every day. The location was fantastic. We walked from the house to dinner downtown each night and to and from the Shaw House Inn where more family was staying. The big quiet comfy bedrooms were heavenly retreats from each other. The town is so quiet and peaceful and beautiful - every home is a piece of art. Every other home has a gorgeous garden. We walked to morning mass twice and adoration. The museum was literally across the street!!! and same with the pizza/salad bar/pasta restaurant. We all had the best time. My mom said it was the best vacation of her life. My brothers were relaxed. I am so grateful to have rented this home and so incredibly happy to have found Ferndale! The first visit for all 9 of us!

This was hands down the best VRBO we’ve ever stayed at! The house was absolutely perfect—immaculately clean, beautifully maintained, and incredibly comfortable. The location couldn’t have been better—close to everything we needed, yet peaceful and relaxing.The host was fantastic—communicative, thoughtful, and clearly takes pride in creating a great experience for guests. The home was also impressively well stocked, from the kitchen essentials to the little extras that made our stay feel effortless.Every detail was thoughtfully considered, and it truly felt like a home away from home. We can’t wait to come back!
