REUNIONS

Everyone under one roof. Finally.

28 beds, 18 acres, and enough going on that three generations stay busy without a single group text about logistics.

You know the reunion that never quite works. Four Airbnbs on different roads. Coordinating meals when half the family is 20 minutes away. The cousins who never actually see each other because logistics ate the whole weekend. Grandma is on her third phone call trying to figure out which house the potato salad is at. Or the hotel where your family fills an entire floor but spends the whole weekend in a conference room because there is nowhere else to go. The kids are climbing the walls by Saturday afternoon. You have been trying to get everyone in the same place for two years.

Dragonwood property

There is a version where everyone is in the same place, busy all day, and gathered around the same fire by dark. Without anyone organizing it. Grandparents on the porch watching hummingbirds while your kids tackle the Warp Wall. Your brother-in-law fishing off the dock. The cousins found the Arts & Crafts Studio and they are not coming out until dinner. Everyone ends up in the Main House kitchen by 6pm without anyone sending a group text about it. That is how it works here. The property pulls everyone together without forcing it.

SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE

Four generations, four ideas of fun

The property handles all of them.

The Kids

Ages 4–12

  • Warrior Confidence Course (certified Warp Wall, cargo nets, obstacles)
  • All-ages projects in the Arts & Crafts Studio
  • Swimming and dock jumping at the waterfront
  • Painted rocks to take home

They will attempt the Warp Wall before breakfast. They will not stop talking about it.

The Teenagers

Ages 13–19

  • Kayaking and canoeing the 475-acre pond
  • Obstacle course competition and Warp Wall attempts
  • Arts and crafts in the Design Studio
  • Stargazing from the Bunk House balcony (the Milky Way is visible)

They will say they are bored for the first hour. By hour three they have claimed the kayaks and are not coming back until dinner.

The Adults

The ones organizing this

  • Fire pit conversations that go past midnight
  • Hiking trails through the property and beyond
  • Bocce court and lawn games
  • Kayaking at dawn when the pond is glass

You will not have to entertain anyone. The property does it. You get to sit down.

The Grandparents

The reason everyone is here

  • The Main House porch with morning coffee
  • Walking the garden and orchard
  • The Arts & Crafts Studio at their own pace
  • Watching everyone else from the best seat on the property

The porch overlooks the grounds. The hummingbird feeder is right there. This is the spot.

“Seriously one of the most thought out Airbnb's I have ever stayed at.”

Aaron, Texas

“Our kids had a blast playing all the yard games and painting rocks in the Art studio.”

Kristen

“We saw the Milky Way and bald eagles from our kayaks.”

A DAY HERE

Saturday at . No itinerary.

Nobody planned this day. It just happened.

7am

Half the family is still asleep. Your uncle is on the dock with a fishing rod and a thermos. Your sister is doing yoga on the Gallery floor. The pond is so flat you can see the tree line reflected perfectly.

9am

The Main House kitchen is chaos in the best way. Pancakes, eggs, coffee, someone's kid asking for cereal. Grandma is at the counter cutting fruit like it is her kitchen. It basically is.

11am

The kids discovered the Warrior Confidence Course two hours ago and have not stopped. Your cousin's teenager, who said this trip would be boring, just completed the Warp Wall on her sixth try and is making everyone watch again. The little ones are in the studio painting and making beadwork.

2pm

Kayaks on the pond. Your dad and your brother in one canoe, talking about something they have needed to talk about for a while. The kids are swimming off the dock. Someone found the bocce court and a tournament is forming.

6pm

Grill going. The garden contributed tomatoes and herbs for the salad. Everyone drifts toward the smell. The pavilion table fits everyone. For the first time all year, your whole family is in the same place at the same time.

9pm

Fire pit. The kids are doing flashlight tag in the field. Someone is telling the story about the canoe from earlier. The teenagers are on the Bunk House balcony, pointing at constellations. Grandma is in her chair by the fire, not saying much, just watching. That look on her face is the whole reason you organized this.

Where everyone sleeps

28 beds across three buildings. Close enough to gather, spread out enough for quiet.

Main House

Sleeps 10The gathering place

Three stories. Ensuite rooms with king, queen, and twin configurations. Full kitchen, bar, dining room. The treehouse-style top floor has cedar ceilings and porthole windows. The porch is where the family gravitates after dinner. The kitchen is where the reunion finds its center every morning.

Bunk House

Sleeps 16Camp for everyone

Eight twin beds and four queens on the second floor. Living room, full kitchen, dining area, and bath on the first. Gas fireplace for chilly mornings. The balcony faces the pond, and the Milky Way is visible on clear nights. The teenagers claim this building by the second night.

Airstream

Sleeps 2–3The quiet escape

For the couple who wants to be close enough to join the group and far enough away to hear the loons. In its own cedar grove with waterfront access. Perfect for grandparents who want their own space, or whoever needs a breather from 25 family members.

Day guests welcome. Up to 75 people for meals, activities, and day events. The pavilion and fire pit handle the overflow.
