The Getaway
Dallas
Forgot It Had.

Fire pits, fishing, and wide open Texas sky — 45 minutes from the metroplex. Bring the family, bring the dog, leave the city behind.

The Experience

What Your Weekend Looks Like.

Every visit is different. Every visit has a moment you'll want to come back for.

01 🎣

Morning on the Pond

The private stocked pond is right on property. Coffee in one hand, rod in the other. No trailer, no launch fee, no drive. Just the water and the quiet.

02 🔥

Fire Pit Evenings

After the sun drops, the fire pits come alive. S'mores, cold drinks, and neighbors that become fast friends. This is why people come back.

03

Lake Lavon Day Trip

3 miles to the Lake Lavon boat dock. 21,400 acres of trophy bass, crappie, and catfish. Bring your boat or just enjoy the drive out.

04 🧒

Kids Run Free

Open space, friendly community, rec room with a 75" TV. The kind of place where kids ask to come back. Dog-friendly too.

Getting Here

45 Minutes From
Dallas. A World
Away From It.

No flight, no hotel check-in, no packed highway weekend traffic. Pull out of the DFW metro and you're here. Princeton is closer than most people think — and quieter than anywhere else at this price.

Once you pull in, you'll wonder why you haven't been doing this all along. Pull up Google Maps and go.

Brought the kids for a long weekend. They didn't want to leave. Honestly, neither did we. The fire pit every night was the highlight — better than any hotel we've stayed at.

Four of us came out for a fishing weekend. Pond in the morning, Lake Lavon in the afternoon. Cleanest park I've stayed at in years. We're already booking the same weekend next year.

Just needed to get out of the city for two nights. 45 minutes felt like a different world. Quiet, well-maintained, friendly staff. I'll be back on my own in the fall.
