Christmas 2024

This place was fabulous!! We gathered with 14 adults, 4 children, and two infants. The space was amazing - both indoors and outdoors. It rained the morning of one of the three days, but there was plenty of space and things to do. Multiple TVs, pool table, foosball and lots of games were available on site. Once the weather cleared, the kids enjoyed fishing in the beautiful pond/lake just off the outdoor patio/porch area.The kitchen was magnificent - gas stove top and three ovens - completely stocked with prep and serving dishes. There's a huge refrigerator/freezer in the kitchen and another regular size in the garage. We had lots of counter space for prep and serving. There was enough dining seating to seat all of us. The host did an amazing job showcasing the property with beautiful Christmas decor both inside & outside. The photos don't begin to do this place justice. Our family members quickly commented, "Let's get this place every year!"

A beautiful escape to the country

Our family met for a reunion at this 55-acre ranch located an easy drive just north of Dallas. The kitchen is large and well-equipped, which was great since there are many cooks in our family. The furnishings are beautiful and there was lots of space for the 10 children in our group. There are plenty of games for both kids and adults, including a pool table. The host was very accommodating and easy to contact. She always responded quickly to questions. Everyone in our group agreed that we need to plan another get-together at this location.

Eclipse watching!

This is absolutely an amazing property. It was perfect for our family gathering which was for 7 adults and 9 children ages 4 through 12. Seven of these children were boys! All the kids loved the variety of activities that were available. The adults were unanimous in their opinion of this wonderful place!

Home away from Home

We stayed for a month. Robin communicated excellent with us. We needed a long term solution while our house was being renovated because of a water leak. The place is big and spacious with plenty to do and have fun with! But the fishing is over the top. Right out the back door. I was generally fishing 5 minutes after I wanted to right off the backyard dock. I’ve never seen a place where the fishing was this good. 3-5lb bass every time I went fishing. Most days I would catch a dozen and then call it a night. Usually I am a bad fisherman who just likes to fish. This place was as close to fish heaven as you can get. I want to go back!!

Awesome family gathering place!

The pictures do not do this treasure justice. It is immaculately and thoughfully kept. Families could stay here for days and not need to stray outside of the property. This place has it all-privacy, seclusion, activities, modern ammenities and lots of room inside and out!

Family Reunion

We had a family reunion and used this property as a place to gather and be together. We really enjoyed the home. It is large enough to accommodate all of our family members. Great places to sit, talk and share as a family. Kitchen worked well for our food and meal plans. Catching bass, some quite large, at the very pond was an added treat!

Texas

The house had obviously not been cleaned for several months. Several live and dead bugs (some in one of the beds) and a mouse in one of the toilets that had been there for a very long time. The floors and surfaces were dusty and dirty. The property is beautiful but was not ready for our stay.

Away for the Stay

My family wanted to come together and fellowship outside of the hustle and bustle of the city. We were recommended this property and our host Robin was nothing short of amazing and the property did not disappoint. The biggest highlight was the fact that we had the freedom and space to be as loud ( if you know my family they are loud lol) and relax. Would recommend to anyone needing to escape

Words cannot describe how happy we are to have made lasting family memories at this beautiful property! All the guests at the rehearsal luncheon loved it! Our granddaughter caught a fish, s’more’s by the campfire under the stars, morning sunrises glistening off the water, spacious luxury accommodations, life doesn’t get any better than that! Our daughter quipped, “Just so you know, this is my kind of camping!” Our host was kind, accommodating and available. Thank you so much :)!

Beautiful cozy home with amazing views!

We stayed here with our baseball family (head coaches with their families) and had an amazing time! Robin (owner) met us at the property and gave a tour to ensure we had what we needed. Nothing less than 5 stars! My only recommendation would be more/better lighting outside as to be lit up more, investing in a hot tub 😁, and having access to a bigger pier as the space was limited to 1-2 people for fishing. But overall would recommend for 4-5 families (keep in mind one room has a full size bed only then access to the loft where there another full size and 3 twins. That is where we put all the kids and we shared a room with another couple.

To be near our son’s Wedding venue, our family stayed together at this beautiful, spacious home. It’s a quiet location with comfy beds, peaceful views from every window, and it was very clean. The owners were kind and super attentive. They made us feel so welcomed and comfortable.

Overall excellent

Our host supplied extras such as coffee, creamers, herbs and spices, large fully equipped kitchen. Perfect for large gatherings. Layout of bedrooms was a little challenging for our group as small children who needed to go to bed early were a challenge. For groups of more than 15, some are sleeping on air mattresses or regular mattresses on the floor. Worked ok for us but groups who want their own spaces should consider. It was a shame to have the pond but not really be able to use it. Stocked with fish but only one spot to fish from. Would have been nice to have a paddle boat or some way to get out on the water. Loved having the pool table, air hockey, darts, ping pong, basketball.
