The space is stocked with everything you might need from a lantern and flashlights to tea and granola bars. They even had two chocolate bars for s'mores! How thoughtful is that!! There is a short walk from where you park to the location of the tree house (and the other units as well). Bert was AMAZING to help us with our cooler and luggage. Next time (and there will be many!) we'll pack lighter as we brought a lot of what they already had. Really just a change of clothes and some toothpaste is all you need here! The outdoor shower, located under the main house, is lovely and well lit. We showered in the evening before bed and felt very safe and comfortable. This is also where the sink is to wash dishes, etc. There's a gas grill as well as a Coleman stove in addition to a fire pit! The tiki torches around the fire pit area are a nice touch. The composting toilet is in a separate room inside the tree house with a door for privacy. The directions are clearly marked and once you get used to it, it's a breeze to use. The space itself was nicely appointed and decorated tastefully and sparingly. One of the days we were there it rained, and we spent the day relaxing, chatting, napping, snacking all dry and cozy in this little slice of contemplative heaven. Highly recommend if you just need to get off the grid for a few days, although there is electricity and fair cell service so you can still Wordle if you must. We're headed back next month, and the month after that,, and the month after that to try out the tiny house and the Octagon house by the brook. A full five stars for Bert & Nancy's Water Forest Retreat!!

Michele was wonderful to deal with and was always there for us when we had any questions ! We got married under the big tree in the front and the pictures came out gorgeous !! We could not have asked for a better wedding !! We will always have so many great memories of this day !

It's in walking distance of my restaurants and shops. It's a short drive to many nearby attractions such as the cliff walk. Randy and Lisa were great hosts. We requested to check in early and they were very accommodating. When we arrived Lisa gave us a rundown of the area and suggested a few things to do/places to eat. The room we stayed in was big, clean and comfortable. We were able to control our own air which we appreciated. Breakfast in the morning was wonderful! Coffee and water was readily available at all times. I would definitely stay at the Firehouse Inn again!

I stayed in the Zzz room for a night. The hosts, Paul and Bette, are wonderful. Their two cats are very cute as well. The room and bathroom were very clean and the bed was very comfortable---I had a great night's sleep. The outside is very picturesque--the porch has a fantastic view of trees and flowers (in the spring). The breakfast, prepared by Paul, was plentiful and fantastic. Paul served rye bread and scone baked by him. The house is more than 300 years old and listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The stay was very reasonably priced. Overall, I had a fantastic stay and would gladly stay there if I go back that way.

We enjoyed the whimsical and antique decor as well as the handmade quilts--most of which were stiched by Bette herself--which added to the cozy atmosphere. Breakfast consisted of a delightful mix of fruits drizzled with cream and accented by fresh mint leaves, French toast, caramelized bananas and traditional scones. Hot coffee, tea, and orange juice were available in copious amounts and the morning conversation with the hosts and other guests was lovely. Thank you! Hope to be back!

The breakfast each morning was out of this world... Just the smell alone, wafting up the stairs was enough to make you hungry. As a vegetarian (who doesn't eat eggs), Victor & Cam prepared a delicious breakfast for me. Also, Cam's blueberry muffins are chef's kiss! The enclosed backyard is a nice perk, my little guy loved running around & sniffing everything. The owners have an elderly dog, Molly, who is an absolute sweetheart - Very welcoming to us newcomers invading her space. We will absolutely come back! I just asked my husband what he would like to add to the review and he simply said "it was too short". So there you have it!

The space was beautiful, clean, and COVID safe. Our room (we stayed in the Beach room) was soooo nice, spacious & comfortable - the bathroom is incredible with a beautiful tub and huge rainfall shower! The YARD is amazing and a beautiful space for you and your pup to run around freely. Also the location is so convenient with shops just down the road as well as the beach. We were there in "off peak" season but had pretty great weather. Cam and Victor's breakfasts are also sooo delicious (the biscuits!!!). We can't say enough about how great this visit was- and so thankful for their hospitality- and loving on our Jadey girl. We'll definitely be back!

Went here during a meeting in September…read more I used to live in CT, but had never been here, so I wasn't quite sure what to expect. First of all, I drove to this place from Bradley airport in the middle of the night and got a little lost trying to find it. I drove right past it. My GPS was screaming at me to turn left, but from my rental car, it looked just like a school, but the Mercy Center is a bit farther off the road. So, be warned. Good thing that there's a lot of driveways to turn around in on that street (sorry if I woke you up, folks!). Anyway, I stayed here two nights. It's definitely not a resort or hotel, so don't go in thinking you'll get Four Seasons treatment. You'll need to make your own bed, and take off the sheets when you leave. Phone service and wifi were spotty at best in the rooms. I shared a room with two twin beds and an old-looking bathroom. Nothing was outright dirty, but the rooms were showing their age and there were ant traps in the bathroom. But, mamma mia, the water in the showers was hotter than the lakes in Hades! Damn! I almost burned my arms off. The kitchen in the house was decently appointed, our group was able to make tea and coffee in the morning without any issue. We did have lunch in the main center one day--not bad food, a number of choices: soup, a pasta dish, a fish dish, a salad/fruit bar, and a number of desserts. One of the soups was vegetarian, which was nice. Because it's set off the road, it's very quiet and I really found some good time to think there (and since the doggone wifi was a little wonky, what else was I going to do?). Not necessarily the best place for a work meeting, if you need the conveniences of technology, but definitely good for a spiritual retreat.

It was so helpful, the quiet, the peace, the energy saved with having meals served in the delightful dining area. I also stayed when i needed to finish a book I was writing.

There were enough choices for me, as a pescatarian, that i never felt neglected. If you choose a Guided" retreat, you will not be sorry. I cannot give a higher recommendation!. Try staying at Mercy by the Sea. You will add your compliments to mine. Carole Johnson
