About this property
Boutique-Style Private Poolside Retreat Surrounded by Nature & Outdoor Play
Escape to your own private poolside suite tucked beneath a canopy of trees, where boutique-hotel comfort meets a serene natural setting. This charming hideaway offers the best of both worlds—peaceful seclusion with plenty of ways to play. Spend your mornings lounging by the pool, your afternoons enjoying outdoor games under the shade, and your evenings unwinding in your cozy suite designed for rest and relaxation.
Whether you’re here for a quiet retreat or a fun-filled getaway, this unique space provides a one-of-a-kind experience just minutes from everything Waco has to offer. Located only 15 minutes from Baylor University and Magnolia at the Silos in downtown Waco, it’s the perfect spot to enjoy local attractions while returning to the calm of nature at the end of the day. If this room is available, then you are in luck because this room is part of a total property listing that includes ALL 20 rooms, and is usually rented out as the whole property for retreats and reunions. No daily hotel service or breakfast options. Fire pit, pool, seasonal hot tub, and outdoor games area all shared spaces.

About the host
Hosted by Lacy Hodges
We felt a strong calling to do something incredible with this property that was purchased in December of 2016 and completely renovated it in 3 months. We have 2 young daughters and wanted our girls to see the value of hard work and family time. Since then, the Lord has blessed us with this vision to offer our property as a vacation rental, and now families from all over the United States are reuniting at Gathering Oaks Retreat and most of them ask about booking again the following year.
