In 2018, Karla Meinke and Sydney Arnold bought the neglected property when they saw its potential for a new beginning. With a shared passion for hospitality and a vision to create a peaceful and welcoming retreat for guests, they purchased Fernwood Retreat and embarked on a restoration project to bring the old county home back to life.
After months of hard work and dedication, Fernwood Retreat was transformed into a charming wedding venue, hotel, lodging, and RV park. The property now offers a range of accommodations to suit the needs of guests, whether they are looking for a luxurious stay in the main house or a cozy spot to park their RV for the night.
Fernwood Retreat has quickly become a popular destination for weddings, events, and weekend getaways, attracting visitors from near and far. Guests can enjoy the tranquil surroundings of the Missouri countryside, explore the historic architecture of the property, and relax in the comfortable and stylish accommodations.
Karla Meinke and Sydney Arnold have truly breathed new life into Fernwood Retreat, preserving its rich history while creating a modern and inviting space for guests to enjoy.
