Sweet Retreat Estate

Celebrate your wedding surrounded by the natural beauty of Sugar Island. Sweet Retreat offers an intimate estate setting where couples gather with loved ones for a full weekend celebration..

Sweet Retreat provides a peaceful island destination ideal for leadership retreats, wellness gatherings, and faith-based experiences designed to inspire connection.

Reconnect with family and friends through private estate gatherings, waterfront evenings, and memorable celebrations shared together.
Unlike traditional venues that offer only a few hours to celebrate, Sweet Retreat invites guests to experience an entire waterfront estate over the course of a meaningful weekend.
From the moment guests arrive by ferry to Sugar Island, the celebration begins.
Our intimate property allows couples, families, and retreat groups to gather in a setting where nature, privacy, and warm hospitality create an atmosphere that feels both relaxed and refined.
The Sweet Retreat estate includes a welcoming main home and charming guest cabins arranged across peaceful waterfront grounds.
Guests enjoy beautiful natural surroundings, scenic walking paths, dock access to the water, and gathering spaces designed for connection and celebration.
With indoor event capacity for intimate gatherings and outdoor space for larger celebrations, Sweet Retreat offers the perfect balance of comfort, charm, and natural beauty.
The maple trees surrounding the Sweet Retreat estate produce our signature Sweet Retreat maple syrup, crafted each season from the very land that guests experience during their stay.
This special tradition is part of the history and charm of the property. Guests often take a bottle home to remember their time on Sugar Island.
Our Estate Boutique will soon offer maple syrup, curated gifts, and select merchandise inspired by the Sweet Retreat experience.
