Sweet Retreat, located halfway between Alexandria and Glenwood just off beautiful Lake Mary, is situated on 14 acres of woods, farmland and wetlands. A relaxing getaway from the hustle and stress of everyday life, guests can relax with all that nature has to offer. Take a walk around the property, watch geese and falcons fly overhead, look for deer, pick apples, gaze up at the constellations in the sky, take in the beautiful colors of the fall leaves or simply sit back in a comfortable chair on our spacious front deck and enjoy a glass of Carlos Creek Wine as you watch the sunset.

A Victorian style Inn, built in 1912, Sweet Retreat features four simply, yet eloquently, decorated rooms, each with a unique charm. Guests will also enjoy a spacious library with a window seat, a large collection of books and a working antique Victorola record player (with records), a living room with satellite television to enjoy your favorite television show, movie or sporting event and a spacious front deck.
