Some Photos from one of our Guests...
Awe! Isn't he cute! These puppies sure like to fish! Of course, these fish don't look very scared. They're swimming right up to the dogs. I think the fish have just as much fun teasing the dogs. More Fishing.....
and MORE and MORE fishing!
I wonder if these dogs ever caught anything?
This tired puppy needed a long nap after a hard days play!
Thanks for the great pictures Rudolph Family!

Pet Friendly Vacations!!!
Also, we just changed the way we charge for pet fees. We used to just charge a flat fee of $25, no matter how many days you decide to stay. To make it more fair, we are now charging $5 per night (for up to two dogs). So now if you stay for a weekend, the pet fee will only be $10. If you stay for a week, the fee will be $35. We hope that this new change will benefit our renters and their 4 legged friends!

Guest Comment - Retreat in the Woods - Aug.6-11,2006
It was really great weather the whole week. The full moon and clear skies at night made for excellent stargazing. Kathy saw two shooting stars one night. There's nothing like soaking in the hot tub in the midnight hour and experiencing the sights and sounds of the surrounding wilderness.
The fishing was unbelievable this year. We caught so many small-mouth bass that we lost count after a couple days. On the last morning, Jim caught a huge bass in the canoe with only a fishing net and NO bait. Amazing!
Our daughter Ashley had lots of fun. She especially loved having Dad take her on canoe trips around the pond. Other activities included swimming in the pond, picking up frogs off the beach, and laying in the hammock. She definitely liked it when Heather and Ryan came to visit. Good kids!
Our dog Daisy loves coming here. She loves playing fetch in the open field and swimming in the pond. Keeping the raccoons, squirrels, and chipmunks away from the house was on her favorites list as well.
If you have never been here, you are missing out. We're already planning our trip to the Retreat for next year. It's that good!Thanks for everything Jim and Ivie!We look forward to seeing you soon.
Best Regards, Jim and Kathy, Warren MI

Fun Times at the Retreat in the Woods
Enjoy quiet lazy days with family and maybe your 4 legged friend. Dogs LOVE this pond as much as the kids do!
These guys are waiting for hand-outs. When they see people, they think that they might get some free food. These guys are easy to catch, but must be put back.

Report from the Retreat in the Woods
The fish are looking for food. They are pretty tame and know that when people are at the pond, that often means they are going to be fed. These FAT bluegills LOVE hotdogs, bread and sandwich meat. They've been spoiled over the years with guests feeding them.
You can go fishing for these big fish, but it's catch and release ONLY to protect the current fish in this pond. We have a some monster fish is this pond. There are a couple of mega bass and lots of BIG bluegills. The Retreat is also a great place for canine friends to kick back and relax too... or to do a lot of playing and chasing!

New Pictures of the Retreat in the Woods
We got a computer hutch over the winter for those people who want to bring a laptop up with them. There is a phone cord at the back. Sorry....there is only dial up available and you need to have a local number to dial in.
Look at this big fireplace. Lots of nice warm fires have warmed many toes during the winter season.
We also got a new headboard for the double bed in the master bedroom. I think it looks very nice.
It's a good evening to feed the fish.
