This property was an incredible spot for a ladies retreat weekend, and Jennifer and Tracy were such attentive and helpful hosts! The house was spacious and clean as described, but we especially loved the large screened back porch, hammocks, fire pit, and hot tub areas. We had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend it!

We have enjoyed this home & property as well as the communication from the owners that we chose to return for a THIRD time - and it did not disappoint! Our needs were sought after and they even remembered our preferences from our previous stay. Great communication and well-thought through and well-taken care of home! We hope to return yearly!

If you are looking for a quiet, secluded getaway this is it. A peaceful property with lots of good old fashioned fun (hammocking, board games, hot tub, ping pong, fireplace and bond fire, etc.). Plenty of room to spread out and relax.

The Retreat at Hempstead is an amazing place to get together. The location, accommodations, and property manager were all 1st class. We enjoyed the privacy of the house, the proximity to College Station (went to Bush Library, and A&M Football game), and all the house had to offer: game room, fishing, hot tub, firepit. Highly recommend it.

We used the property to host a sales meeting. The living room space worked great for our meeting with the big TV and plenty of room to be comfortable. Lots of activities available like ping pong, horse shoes, corn hole, shuffle board and lots more. Setting was quite and peaceful. Fire pit was great! Everyone who attended wants to bring their family to get away. Thanks a bunch! Meredith

Our stay was amazing! The property was beautiful and comfortably accommodated all our guest. Check in was a breeze. any problems we encountered were addressed promptly and we were given direction on how to resolve the. My family thoroughly enjoyed their stay. The only regret we have is that there had been no rain and the pond was low, but the children and adults still enjoyed the fishing experience. Some of the kids were able to catch their first fish. I will definitely recommend this property to my friends and colleagues as well as my family to theirs.

This was the perfect place for our large family to get together! This was the first time our family was all together since our mother passed away in October. It was the perfect spot for relaxing and enjoying family! The property was so spacious that you never felt like you were sitting on top of each other. The large screened in porch was perfect for hanging out (and keeping the little ones contained). There was equipment available for many activities to enjoy as well. You felt like you were way out in the country somewhere even though there are neighbors. The owners responded quickly to questions we had as well. Our family is already talking about staying here again later in the year.

I was blown away by this property and communication. The place was FULLY stocked (unlike so many places that will welcome you to bring 30 people for 2 nights and provide 4 rolls of toilet paper and one paper towel). Condiments, spices, paper products....TONS of outdoor games. 2 great grills, fishing supplies. Netflix, great internet...tons of space. I can't wait to take my group back!!

My family had a wonderful Christmas celebration at The Retreat at Hempstead. The house is beautiful and nicely decorated for Christmas. It fit our family very well. We especially appreciated being able to all fit around the dining table (with the breakfast chairs on the corners), The house is so well supplied; we even found nice serving dishes for our Christmas dinner! The weather reduced our time outside, but it cleared enough for us to enjoy the patio fireplace. We even talked about returning in the summer so that we can enjoy the outside activities. The Monkey House is full of fun outdoor toys! We also appreciate how well managed the property is -- from the details you supplied prior to our trip, to the Welcome Book and all the helpful signage in the house and on the property. THANK YOU!!

My family totally enjoyed our stay here. My daughter got married nearby. Out-of-town guests stayed overnight, and in-town guests joined us for her shower the day before her wedding and a Thanksgiving meal the day after her wedding. We used the lovely long dining room table for the shower, the great big "empty room" with four round tables for our Thanksgiving meal, and the Fire Pit circle by the lake for our "three-legged black pot meal". The space was perfect for us. On top of that, the house had almost everything we needed - the only thing we needed to bring was a roaster for our turkey, a sharp knife for carving it and a few extra crockpots (along with the two provided) to keep warm our mashed potatoes, dressing, corn, squash, etc.....!!! Our hostess answered all my emails immediately as we prepared for our stay and let me go snoop around the kitchen a week ahead (thanks!) to see what was there. She also let us know on her own initiative that the house was ready for us early on our arrival date (VERY much appreciated as we got to have a relaxing afternoon before getting dinner prepared). I have two more daughters who may get married some day - this is where I would want our family to gather again.

Excellent house for family reunion or retreat. It will be better if the fishing pond allows to catch and eat.
