Girl's Weekend
We booked two nights at Elken and we're so glad we did! Jenn and Jason were excellent hosts. The property is peaceful and just what we needed. We enjoyed the pool, lots of conversation and Breakfast each morning (especially Saturdays). The rooms are perfect! No detail left out. We had a great time and hope to return.

Wonderful!
I can’t find a word perfect enough to describe this beautiful place and the people who own it. Very communicative, on top of things, and even sociable to my kids and I. The pool was very clean along with the room. They were responsive on giving us more towels and coffee when needed. The massage was amazing I even got a second. Will be returning. Very family friends environment. Very relaxing!

Cute, quaint, and relaxing
Loved EVERYTHING about this stay, almost. Jason and Jennifer are AMAZING humans who really take pride in their property and your experience. A few things that made my heart smile were personal notes by the suite door at arrival and at your placemat at breakfast, QTIPS!!!, s’mores brought to the door, hot tub jets, and Jason’s attempt of being a stand up/sit down comedian, and just how friendly they were. Wasn’t a fan of the put together bed that slid apart throughout the night but I think that can be fixed, minor detail. My girl was happy for her birthday and that makes me super happy. Thank you for being GREAT hosts!

About the host

Hosted by Jason & Jennifer Faglie

Host profile image
We are Jason & Jennifer Faglie, born and raised in Canton, TX. Jason is a true entrepreneur at heart and visionary using his God given talents as a full time Massage Therapist, fabulous cook for ElKen Retreat and currently finishing the construction on our property! Jennifer is a TCU alumni with a Bachelor of Business degree with majors in Marketing and Management who works as a full time Office Manager in Canton. Together, we have realized our love for people and business which has led to ElKen Retreat! Our kids, Kennedi (15), Landon & Logan (twins, 13) are very involved in the tasks that make ElKen what it is, as well.

We are thankful you are considering our property. Our hope is when you stay with us, you'll leave with an overall sense of joy and relaxation from your "retreat" experience.

Why they chose this property

We started ElKen Retreat with the enclosed garage space that is connected to our home. About 5 years ago, we remodeled it, added a closet and bathroom. It was initially Jason's massage office, then our daughter's room and in October of 2018, we decided it was the perfect space for others to enjoy, thus ElKen Retreat was formed! With an exterior door and a solid door that connects to our home, the space is very private and we've seen our guests love it! A couple months later, at the end of 2018, we realized Jason's office (that we built behind our home in 2015) had extra space that we thought guests would also enjoy. So, ElKen Retreat pool house was formed with twin beds, kitchenette, private bathroom and sitting area in the front. We loved this so much, we decided to invest further in ElKen Retreat by adding on a new construction that would complete our back yard (for now!). The new construction has 3 rooms and a Gathering Place. One room is a king suite with a sofa sleeper and 2 rooms have 4 twin beds. We offer the entire property for retreats, such as scrapbooking and quilting, as well as the Gathering Place only for wedding showers, baby showers, graduation celebrations, etc. We are excited to see all of the fun that will soon take place in that space! We love hosting you!
