Dwayne, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The property is absolutely beautiful and sits right on the lake. Our room overlooked the lake and mountain range, which made the quiet, quaint experience so much better. The grounds had lots of places to play, fish and sit in peace. We would stay here again if ever back in the area.

A tranquil experience

Customer service by Elisha was excellent! Before arrival, she sent me an email to check on my status as I was unreachable on my non-US number and needed to confirm on my reservation. The place is so tranquil; upon arrival, I immediately extended for another night, knowing that I would enjoy the peace and quiet. There were a few guests around, and we all had our own spaces - I went on my runs around the compound while others had their activities. The kitchen was self sufficient - I could cook simple meals with the appliances provided. The bed was so comfortable - my watch measured that as my best sleep in months. All the information & recommendations were written down so it was easy to navigate around the area to places close by. Tried Rose Garden Restaurant for dinner as recommended and it did not disappoint. Drove to Smithville downtown and spent half a day chatting with the local store owners/residents. Also did a 3hrs kayak with Canoe the Caney nearby and had an easy day out. There is no lack of activities if one wishes to do. Overall, the place provided the serenity I was looking for before heading back to city life. Very glad to have found this place!
A comfortable for the night’s rest.
Clean bathroom.

With no real hotel options in town, my company chose this location for me. It was really lovely. Nicely appointed room, quiet, comfortable beds and the scenery was breathtaking. I never saw the property staff but they called me to explain the process and they were super friendly! I can wait to do this as a leisure trip! Thanks!

Perfect local getaway

We had a great time in our room at the retreat. Very quiet and peaceful and relaxing. Very close to Burgess falls where we wanted to go. They are pet friendly so I was able to have my dogs with me which really helped put my mind at ease. I will absolutely be coming back!
Balcony is great for kids or pets

Awesome experience start to finish. Property was quiet and clean. Staff is available 24/7 for questions. WiFi is a bit spotty as it’s a community WiFi but we honestly didn’t mind. We took it as an opportunity to play some games as a family. We stayed in hilltop and honestly, my kids had more fun playing in the giant wheelchair accessible showers than anything else lol. Home was well kept and clean, honestly felt like I was staying with an older relative as opposed to a rental property. Highly recommend for anyone looking to just have a quiet weekend away.

Noisey

The room was very nice but it was very noisy. I could hear the people upstairs everytime they walked across the room. I could hear the neighbors right next to me. It was not a very restful night.

Retreat from this retreat

If no time was made clear that the retreat was actually the real house for wayward youth. The day before my stay, I received a phone call where I had to provide credit card, and it was then explained to me that there was no alcohol allowed (which was fine) but there was also a curfew noise after 10 PM to 8 AM on the back of the brochure in the room, there was a long list of the cost of items if they disappeared from the room. And the breakfast was really just breakfast snack bar granola food. I submitted a review about this place today after we got there and the next morning I was confronted about that review since we were the only guests there. Upon returning from dinner, the parking space closest to the room was blocked by the managers, large truck , which, for all the Christian overtones does apparently apply to consideration for others. Then we were told to park it off on a hill. Overall, it’s a nice place, but not a place for a couple to go for romantic time. Be aware that it is actually a retreat and not really a hotel. It is priced as a hotel price.

It was beautiful! I hate there wasn’t a restaurant at the facility and not much to choose from in town.

The pool was one of the reasons I booked the retreat. When we got there it was closed and said maybe ready the next day. It was opened the next day but still green and nasty. You would think July 4 th weekend the pool would be ready for guests. On a lighter note, the room was perfect just wish it had been on the lake side.
