We could not have asked for anything more! The place was so beautifully appointed and comfortably furnished. The beds and linens were wonderful. And since we had our dogs there for the dog show, the courtyard and backyard were perfect. We would book this place again in a heartbeat

The Best!
We actually had to cancel. My son's chemo reactions had overwhelmed his system and he was too sick to travel. They were so gracious about cancellation. We have stayed there before and this home and its management are the best. We hope to get up there shortly when his health improves.

Ferndale is definitely the gem of the area. The house is three blocks from downtown. From the fireplace in the kitchen and living area (with firewood),to the bicycles in the garage, I don’t think we could have found a better place. The kids rode the bikes in the neighborhood and to downtown. We would walk to the stores for food and shopping. If you are going to this area, this is the place to stay.

Nice walk to downtown and the Hadley Garden
This house is only a short walk to the cute Ferndale downtown. The house is Victorian on the outside and modern on the inside. I tried to convince our party to christen it the light switch house, as there are numerous light switches. The fireplace was a hit with the teens. The electronic door lock meant we didn't have to pass around a key letting anyone take a walk without fear of being locked out.

Ferndale's fantastic house!
This house is fantastic and super clean! Superbly well equipped. The kitchen has everything; no need to buy spices or syrup, etc. The bedrooms were super comfortable, and there were movies available to watch and games to play. The hot tub is roomy and super clean. The owner was very quick in responding to a question. We will definitely be coming back next time we're in the area. You will love this house. Bill

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was great, with lots of space for our group. It was a good location with places within walking distance. We were disappointed that the kitchen and dining area wasn’t clean. There was dried food on the table, dirty dishes in the oven and dirty counters . We had to start our stay by cleaning the kitchen. This was not what I expected.

Fantastic Ferndale Retreat
The house has everything you need and more! Beautifully decorated, meticulously appointed. We stayed here to attend a wedding and hosted a family brunch the next day. The open floor plan and huge kitchen allowed for great flow and easy mingling. The town of Ferndale is darling with lots of great shops to check out. The pizza place is just around the corner and makes a delicious pie. Owners are very responsive and all communication is clear and timely from making a reservation to check in instructions and a binder outlining check out responsibilities as well as details on the property. A classy operation.

The Perfect Getaway
I have stayed in many VRBO homes and I have never written a review before, but Ferndale's Sweet Retreat deserves some praise. This home is incredible. Every detail is taken into account. We were 3 generations staying for a 4-night holiday visit and we were all completely impressed and happy. The beds are wonderfully comfortable, the kitchen is fully stocked and spacious, and the decor is beautiful. We loved sitting around the fireplace and enjoying the home just as much as we loved walking 2 blocks to get to the charming Victorain downtown shops. We fell in love with the town of Ferndale and Ferndale's Sweet Retreat. Can't wait to go back!

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.
