A Little Piece of Infinity Paradise
Come escape to our rustic country retreat — a peaceful place where you can breathe fresh air, listen to the birds sing, and enjoy nature at its finest. Whether you love fishing, hiking through the trees, or simply relaxing outdoors, there’s something here for everyone. Many guests who arrive are truly amazed by the beauty of the house. They often say that photos don’t do it justice because the place is even more stunning in person. The property includes a main house and a cozy cabin, with a swimming pool nestled between them, right next to a small lake. If you book for 3 nights or more, the pool will be exclusively yours during your stay. The cabin can also be rented separately if you need additional space.
One of the special features of the main house is a charming atrium inside, where you’ll find a beautiful tree, a relaxing fountain, and some tables perfect for sitting down in the morning to enjoy a peaceful cup of coffee surrounded by nature.
Main House Layout: First Floor: There are two bedrooms with king-sized beds. One of these rooms also has a sofa bed. There's also a TV room with another sofa bed. Additionally, two folding beds are available on this floor.
Second Floor: There is one bedroom with a queen-sized bed and a pop-up trundle bed (equivalent to two full-size beds). In the living room, there's another sofa bed.
The house is set up to comfortably accommodate three couples, each with two children. There’s a gas barbecue grill and outdoor dining tables — perfect for a small family celebration or a quiet evening meal. Some of the most cherished moments at Infinity Paradise happen at night — sitting outside on the deck in the lakeside kiosk (kioske del lago), watching the stars light up the sky or enjoying the glow of a full moon reflected on the water. And in the early morning, nothing beats a peaceful walk while listening to the birds sing — a perfect way to start the day. We're located just outside the city limits, only 15 minutes from Walmart and other conveniences, so you're never far from anything you might need.
The land is filled with trees and wildlife. We have friendly, domesticated deer on-site, and you may also spot wild hogs. There’s a seasonal creek, several fishing ponds, and plenty of space for ATV

Anchorbase Retreat
4. Anchorbase Retreat
18mi from Rice · 1 site
Anchorbase Retreat is a quiet, low-density countryside camping experience located about one hour from Dallas / the DFW Metroplex. It’s close enough for an easy weekend escape, yet once you arrive, the setting feels distinctly rural—open land, fresh air, wide skies, and a slower pace of life.
The retreat is hosted by a couple fondly called J & N, who grew up around rural farm life and big families that loved welcoming friends and travelers. After years of raising their kids in the city, returning to the countryside felt like coming home. Opening a small portion of the land for camping is their way of sharing the quiet, peace, and space they’ve always valued.
Phase 1 offers a small number of semi-primitive glamping and camping sites, intentionally spaced for privacy and calm. This early phase focuses on a low-impact outdoor experience with thoughtful basics rather than resort-style amenities. Guests should expect a rustic stay designed for rest, simplicity, and connection with nature.
Anchorbase Retreat sits on working agricultural land, and the surrounding countryside is part of the experience. You may see open pastures, wildlife, and hear natural country sounds. Some areas of the property offer views toward Cedar Creek Lake, making it a peaceful place to relax outdoors, enjoy sunsets, and stargaze.
While the setting feels removed and quiet, the retreat is still conveniently located near local attractions and essentials, including King’s Creek Country Club, local restaurants and food spots, grocery stores, a nearby brewery, Zoofari, and Cedar Creek Lake recreation.
Phase 1 is ideal for guests who enjoy nature, value quiet and privacy, and want to unplug without driving far from the city. Amenities will be added gradually in future phases, but this early stage is about starting small and enjoying the land as it is.
Best suited for couples, solo travelers, and small groups seeking a calm, rustic countryside stay close to DFW.

I'm grateful that Angela and her family opened up their place to us. We had an amazing time just relaxing on the farm, watching the animals, and enjoying nature. The horse ride was great and it was awesome to learn about the specific breed that Angela has there. She's caring and passionate about what she does and it made the experience that much more incredible. Thank you.

We had a great time at the daisy! It is cozy, the surrounding nature is beautiful, and Barry is so welcoming. He set up our fire, and sang/played guitar at our camp spot while our three-year-old danced around. He is genuinely interested in getting to know people. I highly recommend! I know we will be back :) side note – it is not far from Waco and there’s a lot to do there if you’re looking for fun activities!

I cannot put into words how magical this place is! Barry was really nice, greeted us upon arrival and then gave us space to venture out and explore the land. He even came out with his guitar and joined us around the campfire with some good tunes (I told him I wanted to hear him play!). Just all around good vibes and will definitely be going back!

We enjoyed our getaway.
Barry came out and greeted us, very nice guy and not pushy.
There is a common area for anyone/everyone to hang out in.
He has a crows nest on the top of his house, which he allows people to go up, beautiful view. Definitely go up there.
Lots of cardinals. There might have been other birds also but those are the only ones I saw.
Lots of bluebonnets a few other wild flowers. His landscape looks nice.
It rained part of the time and the few parts that were dirt did Not get muddy. The lake was very close and was nice to look out at. We were very happy about that because it meant we could still go wonder around.
I brought my dog, she enjoyed smelling everything. There were 2 other dogs that were possibly free roam from a neighbor, they were very nice. The male dog loved pets and tried to politely try and get treats.
The RV is tiny. Lots of extra comforters and towels. It did fit us just fine, I did need a min to get used to it. 😆 Everything was in working order.
Barry was very accommodating and brought us over some firewood.
