"I’m a lifetime 'river rat' of Clayton Bay, and my love for this unique corner of the world runs deep. My husband and I live right on the property, just a stone’s throw from the retreat, where we enjoy the peaceful rhythm of river life every day. Whether we’re out on our motorboat or catching the wind in our sailing boat, the water is our happy place. As a proud mother and grandmother, I love creating a space where people can slow down and reconnect.
