Outdoors:
A lawn covers most of the property, with trees outlining the large private yard in the back. There is a small fire pit (newspapers provided, you can purchase wood locally), propane grill, table, chairs, and an umbrella for guest use. String lights add to the night-time ambiance. A restored ski-lift chair swing is a new addition for kids and adults.
Inside:
Sip your coffee in the porch while overlooking the yard, or tap away on the vintage piano in excellent condition (though in need of tuning). The kitchen is roomy with dining-table that seats 6. Additional chairs and faux-wood tv trays straight out of the 70's are available for up to 8 guests.
The kitchen is well-appointed with everything you need to prepare meals as well as a good selection of spices and basic condiments.
There is a covered couch and loveseat in the comfy living room, with an antique cribbage board table. There is also a large crate for your dog(s).
All of the bedrooms have new memory-foam matresses with low-pile area rugs covering the hardwood floors for comfort. Every room has a closet and storage space for clothes.

This is a ranch with all rooms on the first floor for guest access. There are some stairs to get into the property but no stairs inside the home. The cellar is not available. The garage is old but has a new door and is available for atv/dirt bike storage.

On-site property management is available if there are any issues with the home.

Riverside is a residential neighborhood in Berlin. There is a dog-friendly trail within walking distance (0.5 miles away), as well as sidewalks throughout the area. Guests are expected to maintain the quiet and peaceful atmosphere while enjoying all the home and yard have to offer.

There is a 55'x12' paved driveway to accomodate one trailer on the side of the house. The primary driveway in front of the house/garage holds 3 cars. Both driveways are on a slight hill, it is best with trailers to enter driveway at an angle.

DISCLAIMERS ABOUT THE RETRO RETREAT

You the driveway is 12x55' to accommodate one large trailer and make parking for all guests easier. Please use blocks provided (under stairs) for trailer parking to prevent further damage to the new driveway. Both driveways are paved and on a slight hill.

Additional trailer parking is available at Dalton’s for guests with multiple trailers.

The Retro Retreat is not a modern, luxury stay. The home is older and we have intentionally preserved it and embraced the quirks because of its rare features. Some doors and drawers may stick and the vinyl floor and kitchen sink has wear and tear as expected with a house built in the 1950's. A couple of chairs wobble a bit but they are sturdy. Our goal is to provide a clean home with a wistful, nostalgia-inducing vintage vibe. We have covered the irreplaceable kitchen table with a clear protector to ensure it lasts another 70 years.

Guests without dogs are certainly welcome! Because we are dog-friendly, the Retro Retreat is not suitable for someone with dog allergies. We have a phenomenal cleaning team but we cannot guarantee there won't be a stray dog hair or two.

There are trees surrounding the home so there may be visits from woodland animals including deer.
