The Military retreat was perfect. We could not have asked for a better gathering spot for both the kids and adults. If you are ever in Mt. Horseback this would be our first choice. Very very satisfied!

My family loves visiting the greater Madison area and found this new gem that came available recently and decided to try it out. We absolutely loved our stay. Home was clean, fully stocked with all kitchen appliances, linens, towels etc. Our kids loved exploring the uniqueness of the house and the property and had a great time playing pool together in the basement! Highly recommend!
