The property is spacious and private. We have an 18 month old son who the pond was perfect for, with the shallow sandy beach area to play in. The fish were amazing and come right up to you. We did see deer cross the property one evening and enjoyed the birds. The owners were very attentive and personally come by to show you a tour of the house upon arrival. We visited the city of Gladwin to walk by the river and to feed the deer at Whitetail Live. We also got ice cream at the nearby Two Scoops and it was delicious. The outlet mall at West Branch was also a good short trip for a rainy morning. Only negative parts of the trip were the bugs, which are to be expected in a wooded setting and no cell phone service (which we didn't completely mind once we adjusted...) All and all the trip was memorable for our family and we enjoyed our stay! &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Jim and Ivie Bakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03732351978885504248noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26810366.post-34923255799640310932013-07-22T11:10:00.001-04:002013-07-22T11:10:04.730-04:00We LOVED our time at the Retreat in the Woods! The house was as beautiful as the pictures on their website and had everything we could possibly need. They even included a basket of towels to dry our 2 dogs off with who LOVED swimming in the pond &amp; romping through their woods!! We had a GREAT time canoeing, fishing, riding the paddle boat, making &amp; sitting by the campfire. Ivy was super responsive to any needs we had during our stay!! We are already planning a return back there in September and would HIGHLY recommend Retreat in the Woods for a vacation!!! &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Jim and Ivie Bakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03732351978885504248noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26810366.post-71713913424936059632013-07-12T18:11:00.003-04:002013-07-12T18:11:45.930-04:00<h3 style="background-color: #f4f4f5; border-bottom-color: rgb(208, 226, 237); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 2.6em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;"> Traveler's Review</h3> <div class="review-box" style="background-color: #f4f4f5; color: #595d5f; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.09375px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> <div class="review-rating" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> <div class="rating" style="background-image: url(http://csvcus.homeaway.com/rsrcs/ha-bootstrap/2.4.3/img/icon-s164ec75c07.png); background-position: -1094px 0px; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; display: inline-block; height: 18px; line-height: 20px; margin: -2px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; position: relative; vertical-align: text-top; width: 94px;"> <div class="rating-5" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> </div> </div> &nbsp;Excellent<div class="clear" style="clear: both; float: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> </div> </div> <div class="review-content" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> <div class="title" style="color: #666666; font-size: 1.2em; font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0.6em;"> </div> <div class="author" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> <span class="nick"><a href="http://www.homeaway.com/author/0ab7bde2-2088-36ea-b73a-20547c41da4b" style="color: #2297c9; text-decoration: none;">Mark S.</a></span><span class="location" style="color: #666666;"></span></div> <div class="date" style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;"> <span class="reviewed" style="padding-right: 15px;">Submitted:&nbsp;<span style="color: black; font-weight: bold;">July 11, 2013</span></span>&nbsp;<span class="stay">Stayed:&nbsp;<span style="color: black; font-weight: bold;">June 2013</span></span></div> <div class="review-txt" style="margin: 0.7em 0px 0px; padding: 0px;"> Stayed the weekend at the Retreat in the Woods and had a wonderful time. The location is secluded and very quiet day and night. We were able to play golf just down the street at Sugar Springs and it was about a 20 minute drive into town for dinner at the Riverwalk Place, which is a very nice restaurant in downtown Gladwin on the river. My son and the dogs LOVED the pond during the day and the fires were great at night. The hot tub is AMAZING; very clean and definitely relaxing. Ivie was great with communication and very accommodating. We enjoyed our stay and highly recommend to anyone looking for seclusion and relaxation, and the ability to bring our dogs was a big plus. The house was clean and everything was perfect.

The first time we heard it, it was in a tree near the laundry room. The kids saw it fly over towards the mercury light, by the garage, but my husband and I never saw it. It was LOUD!
