A Sampling of Our Many Guest Reviews
"Red Maple Retreat is as wonderful and restorative as it sounds! Colleen's special touches - the warm welcome with snacks and a personalized greeting, soothing music and perfect temperature, spelled relaxation and retreat perfectly. The location is perfect and the house beautiful. You will love Red Maple Retreat!"
Lauren and Chris Buckles, White Cloud, MN
"Colleen was an amazing host! She went above and beyond to make us as comfortable as possible. We were renting due to a fire in our home. She welcomed us and our two dogs and did everything possible to make our stay a respite from the stress we were under. She even gave us extra rags to take to our next place for wiping doggie paws, since we had nothing. I highly recommend this beautiful Airbnb and Colleen as a host. You will not be disappointed staying here :) We look forward when we can come back just for the fun of it and enjoy downtown Milford a little more. Thank you Colleen for everything!!
Theresa, Scott, Zeplin and Stella"
"Colleen, We cannot thank you enough for being so gracious to us! You were truly a wonderful host and I appreciate you so so much! I wish you all the peace, love and light that you put out into the world comes right back to you :)
Sincerely, Theresa and crew"
"We stayed in Colleen's house for 2 weeks while our hardwood floors were being refinished due to water damage. It was great being in a clean, beautiful home close to shopping with a caring and responsive host close by. I brought our two small dogs with us and they loved the fenced in back yard. Perfect! We will stay again if the opportunity arises! We highly recommend this property!"
Michael and Michelle, Brighton, MI
"We stayed at the Red Maple Retreat for three weeks while our home was being remodeled. The website pictures are beautiful but there are no words to say how homey and comfortable the "retreat" is! The bedrooms are spacious and elegant, the lovely sunporch is warm and inviting, the kitchen is fully stocked with all the dinnerware and utensils you will ever need. The living room is a cozy place to watch TV. The downstairs area is large and inviting - a quiet spot to read or play games. Colleen supplies fun, family type games - you will never want for quality-wholesome entertainment. A short walk to downtown Milford, the streets are lined with lovely trees and very well-kept, quaint homes. Colleen is a hostess extraordinaire - she is always available to answer questions and provide entertainment options. She checks in to make sure that your stay is safe, enjoyable and relaxing. The word "retreat" is truly that! Whether your stay is for a few days or nearly a month, you will fall in love with this "Home Away from Home."
