About Horseshoe Bend Retreat
Horseshoe Bend Retreat was born from the shared vision of two Texas locals who wanted to create a place where people could slow down, reconnect with nature, and build lasting memories. What began as a simple dream on the Red River has grown into a peaceful sanctuary—offering space for rest, reflection, and renewal.
Over the years, that same passion for hospitality and community has expanded into a mission: providing comfortable, fully furnished homes and professional property management for traveling healthcare professionals, corporate guests, and families in need of temporary relocation across the DFW area.
Rooted in faith, hard work, and a love for the land, Horseshoe Bend Retreat remains a place where people find more than a stay—they find connection, purpose, and peace.

She wanted to create a place to enjoy Texas nature and build lasting memories. She envisioned and brought to life a haven where people can come together, while keeping the haven private and secluded for many years to come.With unwavering dedication, she transformed her dream into reality, establishing a retreat that offers a sanctuary from the chaos of city life.
