Wildlife & Nature
Wildwood Retreat is truly nestled in nature, and with that comes a chance to see some of our woodland neighbors. Deer are gentle and very common around the property; for a fun treat, bring a few carrots, and you might get to hand-feed them if they’re feeling curious.
Because the home is surrounded by forest, you may occasionally see other small critters or bugs. We provide regular pest control, but as with any home in the woods, sightings can happen. If you have any questions or concerns, dont hesitate to reach out!
We’re honored to host you at Wildwood Retreat and take pride in providing a comfortable, memorable stay for every guest. Whether you’re visiting for a quiet mountain escape or a family adventure, we hope you’ll feel right at home among the trees.
