WELCOME

Welcome to our blog about our Orlando vacation villa: The Retreat by the Lake. Here we will be posting updates about the newly renovated house and its availability as a rental villa when we are unable to be there ourselves.
We started this blog in the middle of November, 2010 to chronicle the renovation of the villa. Please see the archive (lower left) to read all about the how the reno went and how The Retreat became a luxury 5-star vacation home where you could stay on your next trip to Orlando to visit the awesome theme parks, to enjoy the many wonderful golf courses in the area, to watch baseball spring training, or for a pre- or post-cruise excursion.
Please feel free to leave your comments about our postings... we'd love to hear from you and what you think about The Retreat.

Retreat extras 1 - games/books

There will be lots of "extras" for our guests at the Retreat.  Vacations are excellent opportunities for some special family time and board/card games are wonderful for that.  At the Retreat you will find Monopoly, Sorry, Clue, Uno, etc., .... all of the classics and more.

There will also be a library of books for those times when you want to kick back, ignore the world, and relax out on the pool deck with a good book.  A favorite/favourite author of ours is Rick Mofina ... one of the best writers of thrillers.  Once you pick up one of his books, you're hooked... there's no putting it down until you're finished...it's such a great escape!.  Among the collection, we'll have his entire series at the Retreat for our guests' enjoyment.
