BEDROOM HIGHLIGHTS
Here's your home away from home! This spacious, well-appointed, beautifully decorated farmhouse with central heating and air conditioning was recently renovated throughout with newly finished hardwood floors and two master suites. Both master suites have a full bath with a king size bed with memory foam in the John & Lucille room and a queen size bed in the Carolina room. The Mami Young room is elegant with a full size memory foam bed. The William Kuhn room has two full length twin beds, ideal for children or adults sharing a bedroom. Each bedroom has a comfortable chair, Pima Cotton sheets, Egyptian cotton towels, extra pillows bath robes, and blankets.
CHILDREN AND PET FRIENDLY
No need to pack a porta-crib, crib sheets, high chair, or sand toys. The large yard is perfect for children to play. Your family dog is welcome with owners approval and pet fee of $25 nightly or $100.00/Weekly. Sorry no cats.
FAMILYROOM
The large family room has plenty of seating with a 90 inch sofa. It has wireless internet, phone, and cable TV, DVD, and VCR. There is a selection of magazines, cook books, children’s book and novels as well as videos. We provide games, puzzles, or toys for children.
COVERED PATIO/CARPORT
Rock in the chairs and enjoy the Carolina Breezes. Families cookout and gather together in this 20 X 20 covered area directly out the back door of the house. Provided is an 8 foot table and a round table seating for 12 people. There are herbs growing for your convenience and a gas grill for a family cookout.
YARD AND GROUNDS
A favorite of our guest is to pick the fresh fruit from the plum, apple, and fig trees. Rest in the shade of mature trees and soothe your senses while rocking on the porch among the old growth azaleas and camellias. Pecan trees drop their nuts each fall, inviting you to crack and eat them as you enjoy sweet Carolina breezes and the spectacular sunsets. Gather round the grape arbor and tease your taste buds with Muscatine grapes in the fall. The spacious grassy yard is a great place for children to play. If you bring your boat there is space to wash it off after a day on the water as well as an outside shower.
LOCATION
Located on a 50 acre farm in Stella is this quiet, peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of traffic but still convenient to all the great activities available on the crystal coast of North Carolina. Stella is known for great fishing and hunting because it is bordered by the White Oak River and the Croatan National Forest. Spend your day at the beach on nearby Emerald Isle or stroll among the shops and museums of historic Swansboro, Beaufort, New Bern, and Morehead City. It is a short 2 1/2 hour drive from the Raleigh/Durham International Airport and 45 minutes from the regional airports of New Bern and Jacksonville.
BEACHES OF EMERALD ISLE.
On Emerald Isle you will find safe, un-crowded beaches where there is plenty of room to walk, swim, relax in beach chairs, read books or just watch the waves rushing into shore. Emerald Isle is one of the last real family beaches. We provide beach towels, an umbrella (50 SPF), 4 beach chairs, boogy boards and small cooler.
MILTARY BASES
The Retreat is located a short distance from Cherry Point and Camp Lejuene Military bases. Families find the retreat just the right place to visit with loved ones serving in our country's armed forces and also receive a 10% military discount. So if you're looking for rest, relaxation and renewal, then this is the place for you. Time spent at this retreat is a sure path to peace.
ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS

In the summer there is the Beach Music Festival and the Fall brings the Mullet Festival in Swansboro and the Seafood Festival in Morehead City.

As close to heaven as we could get for a vacation Marine wife - North Carolina
Date of Stay: June 2008
Our stay at the John & Lucille Country Retreat was the best vacation we've ever had. From the incredibly comfortable beds to the fully equipped kitchen, there was nothing the proprietor had not thought of for our comforft! We were greeted with the lovely display of fresh flowers, a delightful welcome basket of goodies, and luxury that could only come from a very thoughtful host! This was so much beter than staying in a hotel as we were able to fully enjoy our family members as we played table games (we found in the closet waiting for us!), sat in the living room and chatted and even watched the children play among the trees in the large yard! We were close enough to all of the attractions in Eastern North Carolina tp enjoy them fully. We came back to the country retreat every evening and relaxed under the stars in the quiet, peace that can only be described as country living at its finest! We can hardly wait until next year when we can vacation again at this lovely place. We think we have truly found a gem in this delightful vacation home!
