We had our family Christmas there and our family had a blast! Kids had plenty to do with outdoor activities. Everything was clean and went beyond our expectations. Rebecca was great as she went above and beyond as we left a suitcase behind. We will definitely be back ##### Nicky O. Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Daniel C. 10 May 2018 #### Simply beautiful! We had the most amazing family reunion...it was simply perfect. And so much of that is because of Lacy and her Gathering Oaks Retreat. Where can I start? Rooms and homes were gorgeous, clean, impeccably designed. Grounds were well groomed, pleasant, relaxing, fun. There was enough to do just on the property that we barely had to leave for a week. Pool, firepit, tennis court, playground, horses nearby, etc. Lacy was super nice and always looking to make sure we were happy. Top rating, we hope to be back... ##### Daniel C. ### 10/10 Excellent #### John M., Keller, TX USA 14 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Magnificent experience Property is absolutely gorgeous!
