Wonderful Retreat for the Weekend!
This property was an incredible spot for a ladies retreat weekend, and Jennifer and Tracy were such attentive and helpful hosts! The house was spacious and clean as described, but we especially loved the large screened back porch, hammocks, fire pit, and hot tub areas. We had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend it!

2024 sales Meeting kickoff
We used the property to host a sales meeting. The living room space worked great for our meeting with the big TV and plenty of room to be comfortable. Lots of activities available like ping pong, horse shoes, corn hole, shuffle board and lots more. Setting was quite and peaceful. Fire pit was great! Everyone who attended wants to bring their family to get away. Thanks a bunch! Meredith

About the host

Hosted by Tracy Hightower

Host profile image
Our family purchased this property in July 2019 and underwent a three-month renovation. We wanted to be able to share our beautiful retreat we created, hence our name The Retreat at Hempstead, with family and friends. But we didn't stop there and opened our dream getaway to other vacationers and even created an event space, THE BARN at The Retreat, for weddings, rehearsal dinners, family reunions, birthdays and more.

Why they chose this property

The Retreat at Hempstead is our mini resort with so much to do. Soak your worries away in the hot tub or sip your cares away at the outdoor bar. Fishing, horseshoes, archery, ping pong, cornhole, ladder ball, basketball, volleyball, shuffleboard, air hockey, poker, and games galore. Relax on the 2000 sq ft screened in patio, nap or read a good book in the hammock zone, see the stars and enjoy s'mores at the 625 sq ft flagstone fire pit, listen to the sounds of the lighted fountain or fish for largemouth bass off the floating dock in the 1/2 acre stocked pond.

What makes this property unique

Lodging and events all in one location. Resort-style activities in the comforts of your own home. Ideal for large groups and families.
