Our favorite place to stay in a 60mi radius
Avid travelers traveling from Oklahoma & Louisiana to meet, this is our families favorite place to stay. We usually like to find new places every trip but this is the best in the region. The best of both hotels or vaca rentals with enjoyable outdoor space for all ages & weather, well thought out rooms with all the details (the kids especially love they each get their own bed instead of sharing or pull outs), excellent breakfast and friendly, accommodating hosts who make you feel like family. We love ELKen Retreat and the Faglie’s!

The place is beautifully maintained and decorated, extremely clean, the owners are absolutely amazing, the room had anything we needed, the pool was perfect and having breakfast made the next morning was the cherry on top!

About the host

Hosted by Jason & Jennifer Faglie

Host profile image
We are Jason & Jennifer Faglie, born and raised in Canton, TX. Jason is a true entrepreneur at heart and visionary using his God given talents as a full time Massage Therapist, fabulous cook for ElKen Retreat and currently finishing the construction on our property! Jennifer is a TCU alumni with a Bachelor of Business degree with majors in Marketing and Management who works as a full time Office Manager in Canton. Together, we have realized our love for people and business which has led to ElKen Retreat! Our kids, Kennedi (15), Landon & Logan (twins, 13) are very involved in the tasks that make ElKen what it is, as well.

We are thankful you are considering our property. Our hope is when you stay with us, you'll leave with an overall sense of joy and relaxation from your "retreat" experience.

Why they chose this property

We started ElKen Retreat with the enclosed garage space that is connected to our home. About 5 years ago, we remodeled it, added a closet and bathroom. It was initially Jason's massage office, then our daughter's room and in October of 2018, we decided it was the perfect space for others to enjoy, thus ElKen Retreat was formed! With an exterior door and a solid door that connects to our home, the space is very private and we've seen our guests love it! A couple months later, at the end of 2018, we realized Jason's office (that we built behind our home in 2015) had extra space that we thought guests would also enjoy. So, ElKen Retreat pool house was formed with twin beds, kitchenette, private bathroom and sitting area in the front. We loved this so much, we decided to invest further in ElKen Retreat by adding on a new construction that would complete our back yard (for now!). The new construction has 3 rooms and a Gathering Place. One room is a king suite with a sofa sleeper and 2 rooms have 4 twin beds. We offer the entire property for retreats, such as scrapbooking and quilting, as well as the Gathering Place only for wedding showers, baby showers, graduation celebrations, etc. We are excited to see all of the fun that will soon take place in that space! We love hosting you!

What makes this property unique

Spa, pool, hot tub, breakfast...all the necessities of a lovely, relaxing, wonderful experience.
