Chamomile Retreat, A Country Getaway
An oasis of serenity awaits you in a peaceful country setting to retreat… to relax… to revitalize. Retreat to a quiet setting, relax after a day in the saddle, revitalize for that next ride! Your private kitchen greets you with a bowl of fresh fruit, pure water, fresh coffee beans and an assortment of teas. Next, step onto your private deck and watch the deer graze just a few feet away. When the sun sets, retreat into the comforts of bed and be lulled to sleep by the evening sounds of mother nature and awaken to peaceful birdsong.
