What Groups Say About The Penrose House
Rated 5.0 across Airbnb, VRBO & Google
★★★★★"Beautiful home with plenty of space and amenities for large groups. The grounds were beautiful and well maintained. The pool was beautiful and the pickleball court was a highlight for everyone. The house was very well stocked with everything large parties could need. Host was very responsive when needed. Definitely a gem of a place."
★★★★★"We had such a lovely stay at The Penrose House! The place was even better than the photos — spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated. Everything we needed was there. Communication was super easy and they were really responsive. We'd definitely stay here again and have already recommended it to friends."
★★★★★"This was the best Airbnb! We had so much fun and everyone LOVED it. All the activities are amazing and keep you entertained. Multiple people commented how comfortable the beds were even the bunks! Also have to rave about how well stocked everything was — from the kitchen dishes to the coffee and tea bar to the bathrooms. They thought of it all!"

Executive Programs
Leadership Retreats & Executive Team Offsites
The Penrose House is where Dallas-Fort Worth leadership teams come to think clearly. Our private estate setting — away from hotel lobbies and conference centers — creates the focused, distraction-free environment that C-suite strategy sessions and board retreats demand. With dedicated meeting spaces, professional AV equipment, and overnight lodging for up to 28, your executive retreat stays on-site from kickoff to closing dinner.
Whether you're planning a leadership offsite, a team offsite for your department, or a full company retreat, our estate near Plano and McKinney offers the seclusion and service that corporate retreat rentals in DFW rarely match. From half-day working sessions to multi-day team building retreats, we handle the logistics so your team can focus on what matters.
Sample Leadership Retreat Agenda
- Day 1 PM: Arrival, estate tour, welcome reception by the pool
- Day 2 AM: Strategy session in the meeting room (AV, whiteboard, screen)
- Day 2 PM: Team building — pickleball, pool, or guided activities
- Day 2 Evening: Catered dinner, outdoor fire pit conversation
- Day 3 AM: Action planning session, wrap-up, departure
Meeting & Event Space
Corporate Meeting Spaces on a Private 5-Acre Estate
Most corporate retreat venues near Dallas hand you a windowless ballroom on a floor you share with three other companies. The Penrose House is a gated, single-booking estate: when your team is here, the entire property and every meeting space belongs to you.
| Space | Setting | Capacity | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Plus One Lounge | Indoor, climate-controlled | Up to 50 | All-hands sessions, presentations, evening receptions |
| The Living Room | Indoor, double-height fireplace | 20–30 | Board retreats, C-suite strategy, fireside Q&A |
| Covered Deck | Outdoor, weather-protected | 20–50 | Working lunches, breakout groups |
| Firepit Pavilion | Open-air, surrounded by mature trees | 20–50 | Evening debriefs, informal networking |
| Penrose Garden | Outdoor, evergreen backdrop | 20–50 | Awards moments, team photography, outdoor sessions |
| Poolside Deck | Outdoor, heated pool year-round | 20–50 | Welcome receptions, closing celebrations |
Every space is wired for hybrid work: high-speed Wi-Fi across the estate, dual displays with wireless presentation, an 85-inch screen with Nakamichi surround in the Plus One Lounge, and a dedicated on-site venue manager for the duration of your booking. Because the property is gated and booked to one group at a time, it is well suited to NDA-sensitive planning sessions and confidential leadership discussions.
Stay On Site
A Retreat Venue With Lodging — Not a Conference Room You Drive Home From
The best conversations at a corporate retreat rarely happen during the session. They happen at the fire pit at 10pm, over coffee before the first meeting, walking back from dinner. Booking a hotel conference room and sending everyone to separate floors — or worse, home — removes exactly the part that makes an offsite worth the budget.
The Penrose House sleeps 28 guests across 7 designer bedrooms and 4 full bathrooms, so your team stays where it works. No shuttle schedule, no room-block negotiation, no one peeling off early because they have a drive ahead of them.
- Single-day offsites: 2:00 PM arrival through midnight.
- Multi-day retreats: 4:00 PM check-in day one, full programme day two, 10:00 AM checkout day three.
- Weekday availability is typically the most flexible — useful for teams that would rather not spend a weekend.
- Complete vendor freedom: use our preferred DFW caterers, bring your own licensed and insured caterer, or self-cater using the catering-ready kitchen with dinnerware for 28+.
- Recovery and downtime built in: heated pool, hot tub, lighted pickleball court, mini-golf, theatre, arcade lounge, yoga lawn and fitness studio — all included, no add-on fees.
A note on honesty about fit: we host teams of roughly 20 to 50. If you are planning a 150-person national sales kickoff, a hotel is the right answer and we will happily say so. If you are bringing a leadership team, a department, or a founding group that needs to think without interruption, this is what the estate is built for.
Getting Here
A Corporate Retreat Location Close Enough to Be Easy, Far Enough to Feel Away
The estate sits on 5 gated acres in Princeton, Texas, in Collin County — close enough that a North Dallas team can be on site before the first coffee is cold, far enough that nobody is tempted to pop back to the office at lunch.
- 20 minutes from McKinney
- 35 minutes from Plano and Frisco
- 45 minutes from DFW International Airport — workable for teams flying in
- 5 minutes from Lavon Lake
Paved, ADA-accessible parking is on site, and valet can be coordinated through an approved vendor for larger arrivals. We regularly host offsites for teams based in Dallas, Plano, Frisco, Allen, Richardson, McKinney and Fort Worth.

Questions
Corporate Retreat FAQ
How many people can stay overnight at a corporate retreat here?
28 guests across 7 designer bedrooms and 4 full bathrooms. Daytime event capacity is 20–50 guests, so a team can bring additional local colleagues in for sessions without everyone needing a bed.
Do you have real meeting space and AV, or just common areas?
Both. The Plus One Lounge seats up to 50 and has an 85-inch display with Nakamichi surround sound; the Living Room fits 20–30 for board-level sessions. Estate-wide high-speed Wi-Fi, dual displays and wireless presentation support hybrid meetings, and covered outdoor spaces work for breakouts.
Is the property private enough for confidential executive sessions?
Yes. The estate is gated and booked to one group at a time — there is no shared lobby, no second event, and no other guests on the property. Teams regularly use it for NDA-sensitive strategy and board discussions for exactly that reason.
Can we book a single-day offsite, or do we need multiple days?
Either. Single-day offsites run 2:00 PM to midnight. Multi-day retreats check in at 4:00 PM on day one and check out at 10:00 AM on day three. Weekday dates are usually the most flexible.
Do you provide catering for corporate retreats?
You have three options: our preferred DFW catering partners who already know the property, any licensed and insured caterer you bring yourself, or self-catering in the catering-ready kitchen stocked with dinnerware for 28 or more. There are no catering minimums and no mandatory vendor packages.
What team-building activities are on site?
A lighted pickleball court, mini-golf, a year-round heated pool and hot tub, a theatre, and the Plus One Lounge with pool table, poker, air hockey and six arcade machines. A yoga lawn and fitness studio are available for wellness programming. All amenities are included in the booking.
How far is the venue from Dallas and the airport?
The estate is in Princeton, Texas, in Collin County: 20 minutes from McKinney, 35 minutes from Plano and Frisco, and 45 minutes from DFW International Airport.
What does a corporate retreat here cost?
Rates depend on the day of the week, the season, and whether you are booking a single-day offsite or a multi-day buyout. Because every booking includes exclusive use of the whole estate and all amenities with no add-on fees, the comparison to a per-head hotel package is rarely like-for-like.
