The Retreat is a newly renovated luxury guesthouse, thoughtfully transformed from an attached garage. It shares a single interior wall with the host's home but functions as an entirely separate space, offering the privacy and autonomy of a townhome.
Designed for tranquility, the Retreat is equipped with soundproofing sheetrock and wool insulation, as well as triple paned Marvin windows and doors. Guests will also enjoy a private, fenced entrance and a secluded garden patio.

For an extra layer of indulgence, daily cleaning and in-room spa services, as well as other small splurges can be arranged in advance for an additional fee.
