Our Story

Meet Sunny

Sunny's Five Stars Retreat began with a vision of family — a place where generations could gather, grow closer and build lasting memories.

A Place Created from a Father's Dream

Bringing the dream to life

Sunny's Five Stars Retreat began with a vision of family. Adarsh Kumar “Sunny” Hari believed deeply in faith, education, service, hard work and the importance of keeping family connected. He imagined a place where his children, grandchildren and future generations could gather, enjoy one another and build memories that would continue long after him.

Bringing that dream to life became a family journey. The retreat now represents more than a property. It is a promise to protect time together, create room for laughter and healing, and pass forward the values Sunny lived every day.

Guests are welcomed into that spirit. They are invited to slow down, appreciate the land and water, enjoy the people beside them, and leave with hearts a little fuller than when they arrived.
