Description

Welcome to Retreat Blooming Grove, one of four @RetreatDFW locations. Bring your closest family and friends to enjoy all the fun we could pack on 11 private acres.

With 8100 square feet of living space, we can sleep up to 40 people! Let's make some lifelong memories!

Interaction

We are here for you during your stay, but our level of interaction is limited. We are only a text message away. You will be able to self check-in upon arrival.

Neighborhood

Our top priority is to show respect to our neighbors in our wonderful community. To achieve this, we closely monitor noise levels, and if your activities create a disturbance to our neighbors, we will notify you immediately. We provide a speaker for outdoor use that comes with clearly marked volume limits and instructions for specific times of the day. We do not allow any other outside audio devices or DJs under any circumstances. Violating these limits will not be tolerated.

The use of firearms and target practice is strictly prohibited on our property.

Fireworks are also not allowed, except with permission and only on specific dates, including July 3-5, Dec 24-25, and Dec 31-Jan1.

While you are staying with us, you are welcome to explore our 12-acre property. However, you are not allowed to access any part of the neighborhood outside our borders.

To minimize traffic, we can only accommodate 20 cars on site, so carpooling is encouraged and may be required. If you have a situation where you require over 20 cars, please reach out to us for approval.

You will receive detailed directions with photos before your stay for an easy, quick and direct arrival.

Our goal is to ensure that you have a fantastic family vacation while also maintaining a positive relationship with our neighbors. Therefore, we strictly enforce these rules, appreciate your cooperation in adhering to them and reserve the right to refuse and cancel bookings if we are concerned your visit doesn’t align with our requirements. Thank you in advance.

We are so excited to welcome you to the @RetreatDFW family, and we cannot wait to help you make lasting memories, whether here at Retreat Blooming Grove or any of our other locations.

Excellent stay, and phenomenal activities. Absolutely recommend

Would Return
Overall, this is a great property for a large group "staycation" since there are so many amenities. It's a bit secluded but there is a city about 20 minutes drive to get pizza and groceries.

We used this property for our company retreat and would definitely book again for the fact that there's something for everyone to enjoy. However, we do have a few suggestions that would have made the stay even better:

- The check in process was very rushed. Seemed like the property manager didn't have enough time for all the properties he had to manage.

- The kitchens are large, and there are two, but they're far apart, so we mainly stuck to the bunk house kitchen when cooking for our large group. However, the single stove and oven meant we had to cook the food in shifts and it took a long time to feed the entire group. Additionally, the cooking equipment was lacking--not enough pots/pans/serving dishes/cutting boards/cups/mugs for a large group, and the knives were very dull.

- Though there was plenty of bedding and pillows, the bedding felt cheap and was not breathable, so it was a hot sleep, and the pillows were all very flat. We understand it may be costly to keep enough quality bedding on a property that sleeps so many, but many of our group made similar comments about it, so we feel a bedding upgrade could go a long way towards customer satisfaction.

Again, despite these suggestions, we still consider this a five star property for keeping a large group of all ages happy.

5th Grade Mom/Daughter Trip
We took a giant group of 25 girls and 25 moms and we had a ball. The girls never watched TV or screens, the water slide was the top hit, we played a giant game of mom v daughter kickball, pickle ball, you name it we played it. The game room and movie room were big hits too. For this size group, it was absolutely perfect. Great way to end elementary school for the girls. Thanks retreat DFW!!!!!
