Family Christmas

This place was amazing! 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

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...

Operation Graduation!!

We came to celebrate our daughters college graduation and had a marvelous time! The property was perfect and accommodated all of our family and friends. The outdoor area was perfect for entertaining just the way we like it! So many fun things to keep everyone occupied! The kitchen was fully stocked with dishes, glasses and flatware! The beds in each room sooooo comfortable! We will definitely be back!!

Wonderful Stay!

Our GoGirls Retreat of 4 women wanted a large home to keep social distance and have our own bedroom and bath. This home was perfect! We had lots of room to enjoy and activity outside. We were very blessed to be able to stay here. Thank you so very much! Memories were made here we will cherish forever!
