The Retreat House is a four-bedroom house located  near the headwaters of Whoop & Holler Lake.  It comfortably sleeps 20 persons.  It has central air/heat,  2 1/2 baths, a large kitchen and dining area, and a terrific deck.  The Retreat House grounds include a 24-foot above-ground pool, volleyball and horseshoes  -- all for your exclusive use.  Guests will be able to hike on most of our 150 acres, as well as enjoy fishing in our private lake or in the Pecan Bayou.  Left:  Approximate floor plan of the Retreat House (click to enlarge).

The Retreat House is ideal for smaller reunions or friends who just want to get together and enjoy a weekend away from the city.  Three RV hook-ups are also available for rent by persons who are part of a group staying at the Retreat House.  

Unlike the Main Campground, the Retreat House is not adjacent to our lake, but all guests still have access to the lake.  Children will need to be accompanied by an adult when they visit the lake for fishing or paddle boating.  The Pecan Bayou, which is most easily accessible by truck, can be reached via a long hike over rocky terrain.  Although this hike can be rugged, it is quite scenic.

Retreat House guests have exclusive access to areas within the house's fence which includes the pool, etc.  However, they do not have access to the Main Campground playground.

The kitchen includes two standard refrigerators,  a 4-burner electric stove with self-cleaning oven, a microwave oven, toaster and coffee pot.  It has an assortment of serving dishes, utensils, cups, glasses, pots, pans, and other items -- everything you need to be able to cook (except the food!). You'll need to provide your own plastic/paper goods as well as salt, pepper, sugar and other condiments.   There is not a dishwasher, so we suggest you use paper products for serving.

Bed linens are provided, but guests will need to bring their own bath linens.  Maid service is not provided during your stay.  Although there is a swing and several wooden lawn chairs on the deck, you might want to bring your favorite comfortable lawn chairs.  Metal folding chairs are available.
