WELCOME TO THE PENROSE HOUSE: YOUR PRIVATE MICRO-RESORT
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Planning group travel shouldn't feel like project management. The Penrose House was designed to solve the biggest frustrations of hosting 28 people: where everyone sleeps comfortably, how to keep all ages entertained, and creating space for both togetherness and privacy. This isn't just a large house—it's a destination where memories happen naturally.
Located on 5 private acres in Princeton, Texas, you'll feel completely secluded with no neighbors in sight, yet you're never more than 10 minutes from civilization. Minutes from McKinney's award-winning historic square and Lake Lavon's waterfront recreation, The Penrose House brings resort luxury to North Texas.

THE SWIM-UP POOL BAR THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Start your morning with coffee while your toes dip in the water. End your evening with sunset cocktails on submerged barstools. Our custom swim-up bar brings the all-inclusive resort experience to your private backyard—a feature almost never found in DFW vacation rentals.
The pool complex includes:

★ Swim-up bar with submerged seating for true resort vibes
★ Tanning ledge perfect for little ones or sun-seekers
★ Luxury loungers and shaded cabanas
★ Custom LED lighting that transforms the space after dark
★ Karaoke bar container for epic singing battles with your group
★ Expansive pool deck with sweeping views of the estate and rolling Texas hills—the perfect backdrop for sundowner cocktails
★ Hot tub positioned to capture sunset views while you soak away the day

PLUS ONE LOUNGE: ENTERTAINMENT FOR EVERY GENERATION
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

We built an entire 1,000 sq ft building dedicated to fun, separate from the main house so night owls and early risers coexist peacefully.
Entertainment features:

★ Private cinema with tiered seating, 85" screen, and Nakamichi surround sound
★ 6 classic arcade machines: Ms. Pac-Man, Galaga, Street Fighter, NBA Jam, Golden Tee, and more

★ Cornhole, Giant Jenga, horseshoe and lawn games

About the host

Hosted by Princeton

Host profile image
The Penrose House was born from a simple observation: group travel is broken. We've all experienced it—the endless group texts trying to coordinate hotels, the disappointment of "activities" that turn out to be a single ping pong table, the awkward moment when someone gets stuck on an air mattress.

We built The Penrose House to fix all of that. Every amenity was chosen with purpose. The swim-up bar isn't just beautiful—it's the gathering point that keeps your group naturally connected. The separate entertainment lounge isn't just fun—it's the solution to early risers and night owls coexisting peacefully. The regulation pickleball court isn't just trendy—it's genuine multi-generational entertainment where 8-year-olds can play with 80-year-olds.

We're not a hotel trying to feel like home, or a home trying to feel like a hotel. We're something entirely different: a micro-resort designed from the ground up to make group travel feel effortless. When you stay at The Penrose House, you're not just booking accommodation—you're booking an experience where every detail has been considered, every frustration anticipated, and every memory made possible.

Our promise is simple: everyone leaves rested, closer, and already planning the next trip back.
