About this property

Retreat Oak Leaf | A Retreat DFW Experience

Welcome to Retreat Oak Leaf, one of four @RetreatDFW locations. Bring your closest family and friends to enjoy all the fun we could pack on 20 private acres.

Stay cool on the 100-foot water slide, kayak in our beautiful lagoon, or relax with family and friends in our pavilion. Then relax in our luxury farmhouse and catch the game in our media room.

With 4,000 square feet of living space, we can sleep up to 25 people (30 with lots of kids)! Let's make some lifelong memories!

We are here for you during your stay, but our level of interaction is limited. We are only a text message away. You will get a short tour on check-in day, and you might see us taking care of the lagoon to keep it as clean as possible.

We are in a rural area with minimal neighbors, but we do have neighbors close enough that we cannot allow outside audio devices or DJs at Retreat Oak Leaf.

The entire house and outdoor amenities are included in this rental. Please, make yourself at home.

Located just 20 minutes south of Dallas, Retreat Oak Leaf has us excited as we continue to push the boundaries of how much fun and activities you can fit on one property.

Our outdoor activities include:
- 100-foot slip-and-slide and mini slide that both land in the cement pond
- 1-acre cement lagoon
- Pavilion with grill, TV, and plenty of seating and tables.
- High-end swimming pool with hot tub
- Firepit with wood included
- Putting green on an island in the pond
- Mini golf
- Zipline (upon request)
- Frisbee golf
- Basketball
- Volleyball
- Corn Hole
- Horseshoe pit
- Dog run
- Endless yard games

We have 4,000 square feet of living space to get comfortable or continue the fun. With 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, we can sleep 25 comfortably. If you have lots of kids in your group, we can sleep up to 30.

The main house includes 4 private bedrooms and 3 full baths, an open kitchen, a media, a balcony overlooking the pool and pavilion, and a full laundry room.

The bunkhouse has 4 bunkbeds, a seating area, a dry bar, a pool table, foosball, and comfortable seating. We also have a small outdoor cabin, a full bath, and an outdoor shower next to the pond and pavilion for those looking for that camping experience.

The house, bunkhouse, and pavilion are furnished with nice flat-screen TVs with Dish Network and Netflix.

In terms of amenities, we’ve got you covered too! You’ll have access to minor yet essential things like: Kitchen supplies, bath towels, pool towels, soap, coffee, oxygen, and more.

NO OUTSIDE AUDIO EQUIPMENT IS PERMITTED. We cannot allow DJs or for you to bring your own speakers to this property. Quite hours will begin at 9pm. This is to make sure we are being good neighbors, and we do not have any flexibility on these rules. We do provide speakers for you to use, please let us know if you have any questions on this matter.

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 Oak Leaf or any of our other locations.

We are located in a rural area, so having your own transportation is recommended.

To maintain secure premises, the retreat is equipped with four exterior cameras that record video and audio. The cameras are ONLY on the exterior, and there are no cameras on the inside.

NO OUTSIDE AUDIO EQUIPMENT IS PERMITTED. We cannot allow DJs or for you to bring your own speakers to this property. Quite hours will begin at 9pm. This is to make sure we are being good neighbors, and we do not have any flexibility on these rules. We do provide speakers for you to use, please let us know if you have any questions on this matter.

The person renting the house must be over 25 years old, and must be present during the rental.

Also, as we get into the colder months, mother nature is more powerful than our cleaning methods, and we cannot maintain the lagoon's clear color like we can in warmer months. While we always maintain the lagoon to be safe to use, sometimes it gets a little less picturesque.

Texas Bachelor Party
Our stay at Oak Leaf was one we will never forget. We had 14 people on bachelor party. Todd and his brother Jason were accommodating and easily accessible for questions. The property was expansive and never seemed to end! We enjoyed relaxing in the concrete pond and pool. We played about 18 rounds of disc golf on the property. The house slept 6 of us in our own beds, while others slept in the bunks in the garage, and others slept in the air conditioned cabin on property. The property was an easy ride into Arlington for All Star festivities and Ubers/Lyfts were readily available both ways. Jason covered everything on the grounds when we checked in. Thank you Todd and Jason for accommodating us!

Perfect Experience
I had my daughters Celbration of Life at the property. We were treated with compassion, personal, yet professional. The property was in perfect working condition and served all our needs. We were very well taken care of. I sent this to the property owners this morning….. You guys have been amazing. It turned out awesome. It was a hard day but also a great celebration. My family will forever return to your property to celebrate our things. In honor of my beautiful daughter.

Senior Class party
Excellent property with almost every amenity and entertainment option available! One more bathroom in the guesthouse would make it ideal. Pond with slide was amazing. The group loved all the different games. The beach portion by the pond was nice. Great semi secluded location. Would highly recommend!

Family vacation
19 in our family stayed at this property the first week of August. Although the temps were hovering around 100, we stayed cool in the pool and at the "pond". The waterslide was a hit with all ages and due to the depth of the "pond" there was a lot less worry with our little ones around the water. There were so many activities we told the kids we didn't want to hear that they were bored, and we didn't. They participated in all the activities available from disc golf to bags, zip lining, volleyball, putt golf and swimming. Jason met us when we arrived and gave us directions on how to use different equipment. Owners were very responsive to questions and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

THIS IS A MUST!!!!
I wish I would've recorded the kid's reaction when we arrived at this home! The "pond" is AMAZING! The waterslide is FANTASTIC! The pool is PERFECT! The hosts are fantastic and so accommodating. You don't need to leave this beautiful home for anything. Pizza and Walmart deliver right to the front door! Lots of fast food, grocery stores and other things you need are about 5-10 minutes from the house. We wish we would've booked a few more nights. The guys went on a hog hut (30 minutes from the house. Three Curl Outfitters.), we went to Fort Worth, the kids tried to catch fireflies, enjoyed family time and partied by the pool. The kids cried when we left and we're planning on returning soon. There was something for everyone in our family of 18 to do (83 to 1 years old). We highly recommend this property!!! I would give it 10 stars if I could!

Our trip centered on highschool students hiking & biking @ Cedar Hill State Park. This property is big & open with lots of outdoor activities to entertain our kids.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE
This was such a great property for our family memories! From first contact to check out and beyond, Todd and Jason were available and extremely pleasant to work with. We came to celebrate Thanksgiving and introduce our new daughter in law to the extended family. We brought our puppies and invited everyone for a great time. There was plenty of room for everyone to help cook, sit and eat and linger at the table, and play the whole week., The large suite with the adjacent room downstairs was perfect for grandma and grandpa, and one more couple who stayed downstairs to keep an eye on them overnight. The kids and the young people were outside the whole time playing , and enjoying the hot tub. The garage play area was for evening video games and ice cream! We watched the thanksgiving ball game in the movie room. Having the bar right there for appetizers and drinks was perfect! Lots of space to spread out, have fun, and make memories! Thank you for a grand holiday experience. Worth every penny.
