We loved the place. Didn't spend much time actually in the place, out enjoying nature and the county. Thank you.

Author’s Retreat was a very nice little home with all the amenities and room to stretch out. It is in a great convenient location between Ephraim and Sister Bay. Krista is very friendly and a great help with any problems or recommendations. We would love to stay again.
