From the Retreat point of view: Hospitality comes easily to the innkeepers! Kathy puts folks at ease with her humor and storytelling. Jeffrey Lee’s calm spirit and good nature ensure every guest's comfort. Their songs and music bring harmony. Both were raised in large families where “everyone was welcome at the table. They kept that tradition going with daughters Faith, Alex, and Jessi with monthly gatherings bringing multi-generational, diverse folks together for jam sessions, food, laughter, and friendship. Joy in harmony: Retreat guests frequently make a point to drop by Edom for Tuesday night jam sessions and/or April, June, Oct, or Nov Artisan Trails or Festivals to hear the Innkeepers sing/harmonize and play instruments with friends. Guests often request on-site jam sessions to highlight their stay. Dragonhead Retreat has hosted multigenerational family, friends & business get-a-ways on 25 wooded acres in NE Texas, since 2008.
