Great Experience!
We enjoyed this property so much. There were plenty of areas to congregate and if we needed downtime lots of lovely bedrooms. The kids enjoyed fishing and playing air hockey in the game room. We had a really wonderful family reunion at this great location!

Wonderful Retreat for the Weekend!
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!

Returning Guest
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!

Definitely a retreat
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.

It doesn't get any better
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.

Family Gathering
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.

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

Amazing vacation home
We stayed over for George Strait in college station. The commute was easy and the price was unbeatable for all the amenities. We had 10 adults and kids ages 3-18, everyone loved the property, the kitchen was fully stocked with everything you could ever need. The house was enormous and great for our families to be able to spread out. Outside offered all sorts of activities, fishing, basketball, frisbee, hammocks, giant connect 4. The kids spent little to no time in front of screens. Inside they have an air hockey table, poker table, lots of games and toys. Overall a great house for families with kids, the screened in patio was wonderful for keeping the mosquitoes away. It’s a beautiful property that provides you with everything you need to have a staycation. If we ever go to that part of Texas again we would love to revisit!

Amazing Vacation
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.
