The Estate at Sweet Retreat

Sweet Retreat is a peaceful waterfront estate located on beautiful Sugar Island along the St. Mary’s River.

Surrounded by forest, shoreline, and open skies, the property offers a rare sense of privacy and quiet that allows guests to truly slow down and reconnect.

Whether arriving for a wedding weekend, retreat, or family gathering, guests quickly discover that Sweet Retreat is more than a destination — it is an experience of nature, comfort, and meaningful time together.

At the center of the property sits the main residence, a welcoming space where guests gather, relax, and enjoy time together throughout their stay.

Comfortable living areas provide space for conversation, morning coffee, and quiet evenings after a day spent outdoors. The home offers convenient access to the waterfront and serves as the central hub for celebrations and gatherings across the estate.

Charming guest cabins are nestled throughout the property, allowing friends and family to stay close while still enjoying the privacy and peaceful surroundings of the island.

Each cabin has its own character and atmosphere, thoughtfully designed to reflect the natural beauty of Sugar Island and the relaxed pace of life at Sweet Retreat.

Guests may stay in The Maple Cabin, inspired by the island’s maple groves and warm harvest tones; The River Cabin, reflecting the calm waters of the St. Mary’s River; The Pine Cabin, surrounded by the quiet beauty of northern forest; and The Sunset Cabin, capturing the golden glow of evening light along the shoreline.

Together with the main estate house, these spaces allow wedding guests, retreat participants, and families to share a memorable weekend experience while enjoying both connection and privacy across the property.

The estate’s waterfront setting provides stunning natural backdrops for gatherings, ceremonies, and quiet moments by the water.
