Annual extended family Memorial Day get together. Despite rainy weather we had an amazing time. The house was large, comfortable, and full of character. We enjoyed hanging out around the courtyard and watching the birds and even saw 2 lemurs! Inside the game room was amazing for darts, poker, ping pong and more.River was lovely and very private. Kids of all ages enjoyed the rope swing. We hope to return soon!

We had a group of 16 women here for a church retreat. The space was awesome. Wonderful areas for small groups and individual reflection. Bedroom spaces were well appointed. The two kitchens served us well and had everything we needed. Gameroom was large enough to hold all 16 of us for nightly meetings. Property was beautiful and the river access was a plus. Alan was a great host, extremely kind and responsive. Would highly recommend for large groups.

This place was everything and more! It was the perfect place to host our large family gathering. It’s spacious, the property is beautiful and has private access to Medina River. The rooms were also very comfortable. Alan was so friendly and accommodated our needs quickly. If you are looking for a space to host large or small event, family reunion, birthday party, or even just have this beautiful property to yourself, then this is the place for you!
