Lakefront Guest Ranch Retreat w/Kayaks/Fishing/Pools/RecCourt/FarmAnimals

Remodeled Private Lakehouse- 15 bedrooms/12.5 baths, 2 full kitchens, coffee bar & 2 dining/living areas, artisian springs fed creeks & 25 acre lake w/2 story boat dock & fishing pier. The Perfect home for your family gathering or retreat. Conveniently located 15 minutes from Waco, The Lakehouse is a jewel for those looking to spend quality time team building time or enjoying friends & family. Relaxing outdoors, fishing, kayaking or sitting by the campfire telling stories, you won’t be disappointed. If you are looking for a unique spot for a most memorable occasion. With our picturesque 1000 acre Resort Ranch, you won’t find anything quite so wonderful anywhere in Texas! There are huge pecan, oak, cottonwood & cypress trees that enhance the beautiful creeks, ponds & lakes scattered around the property. Words can't quite describe this Oasis.

Early settlers established a Gristmill onsite because of its many natural Artesian spring fed waterfalls that now naturally cascade into breathtaking creeks along the Cypress lined waterways that are filled with fish. The ideal location for any large gathering of friends, family or businesses looking for a gorgeous hideaway that can offer such a wide variety of activities for everyone to enjoy. The spring fed lake is famous locally for trophy Bass as well as a plethora of perch, crappie and catfish. Activities include a full basketball/tennis court, sand volleyball court, nature trails at every turn and farm animals; donkeys, ponies, goats, pigs, longhorns, highlanders, chickens and ducks. There is also an abundance of deer, turkey, water fowl, raccoons, squirrels and every other natural species of animal that you would expect to see in its natural habitat. The backdrop of this place is so beautiful its truly hard to capture in pictures.
