A retreat with a court of your own
For groups that like to stay active, the right venue has to do more than provide beds. A full basketball court on a private 42-acre ranch turns a retreat into something a sports team, a church group, or a crew of friends will actually want to repeat. The games are built in.
Built-in activity for active groups
The basketball court at Magnolia Ranch is a real draw for groups that want their downtime to involve more than sitting around. It is perfect for a pickup tournament, a team scrimmage, or just an open evening of shooting around while others watch from the side. Paired with the open field, the pool, and the two stocked ponds, the property keeps an active group busy without anyone having to leave the gate or book a separate facility.
That makes it a natural fit for sports teams traveling for a tournament in the Waco area, church and youth groups planning a weekend retreat, or any group whose idea of a good trip includes a little friendly competition. The shared amenities do the work of an activities coordinator on their own.

Room to gather and room to rest
Beyond the court, the ranch is set up for the gathering side of a retreat. The main house gives you a hub for meals, meetings, and group time, while the three tiny homes provide quiet places to sleep and reset. With room for up to nineteen guests, a whole team or small group stays together on one private property. The firepit anchors the evenings, and there is plenty of space to break into smaller groups when you need to.
Location keeps the logistics easy. You are about fifteen minutes from Waco and roughly fifteen from the Waco Regional Airport, close to dining and the city's highlights when you want them. Self check-in by smart lock simplifies arrivals for a group coming in across a Friday, and longer retreats earn a discount. Tell us your group and your dates, and we will reserve the full property, court and all.
Bring the team, claim the court, and make it a retreat worth repeating.
