🛋️ Interior
Charlene’s Retreat offers a bright, cozy layout with an open floor plan and cool vibes throughout. The main bedroom features a queen bed, while the second bedroom has a full bed. Up front, the enclosed sunroom includes a twin daybed with a twin trundle, perfect for flexible sleeping arrangements or just lounging with a book.
The living area comfortably seats five with a sofa and two chairs, and the open kitchen comes fully stocked with everything you need to prepare meals. Enjoy casual dining at the four-top dining table. The bathroom includes a tub/shower combo and is easily accessible to all bedrooms.
The enclosed back porch adds bonus space to relax and unwind, and also houses the washer and dryer.
Note: This is a super cute, fully renovated manufactured home. It’s comfortable, clean, and charming—but we want to be clear about what kind of home it is so guests can book with confidence.
