Comments from some of our guests  

" We were here for a day long retreat with our school. I hadn't realized until it was all over how much I had missed being out in nature."

" You can smell the leaves and hear the wind through the trees. I slowed down and took my first deep breath in ages!"

" Our life is rushed and overscheduled. We came with our family and made a point of walking, reading and having some quiet time with our children. Even though we were just 30 minutes from North Dallas, it felt like we were deep in the piney woods of East Texas."

"I hold my retreats at the Shooting Star. My clients enjoy its graceful charm and privacy. I can trust the staff to provide                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     outstanding service. They make it easy for me to focus on my work."
