WELCOME TO THE PENROSE HOUSE: YOUR PRIVATE MICRO-RESORT
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Planning group travel shouldn't feel like project management. The Penrose House was designed to solve the biggest frustrations of hosting 28 people: where everyone sleeps comfortably, how to keep all ages entertained, and creating space for both togetherness and privacy. This isn't just a large house—it's a destination where memories happen naturally.
Located on 5 private acres in Princeton, Texas, you'll feel completely secluded with no neighbors in sight, yet you're never more than 10 minutes from civilization. Minutes from McKinney's award-winning historic square and Lake Lavon's waterfront recreation, The Penrose House brings resort luxury to North Texas.

THE SWIM-UP POOL BAR THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Start your morning with coffee while your toes dip in the water. End your evening with sunset cocktails on submerged barstools. Our custom swim-up bar brings the all-inclusive resort experience to your private backyard—a feature almost never found in DFW vacation rentals.
The pool complex includes:

★ Swim-up bar with submerged seating for true resort vibes
★ Tanning ledge perfect for little ones or sun-seekers
★ Luxury loungers and shaded cabanas
★ Custom LED lighting that transforms the space after dark
★ Karaoke bar container for epic singing battles with your group
★ Expansive pool deck with sweeping views of the estate and rolling Texas hills—the perfect backdrop for sundowner cocktails
★ Hot tub positioned to capture sunset views while you soak away the day

PLUS ONE LOUNGE: ENTERTAINMENT FOR EVERY GENERATION
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

We built an entire 1,000 sq ft building dedicated to fun, separate from the main house so night owls and early risers coexist peacefully.
Entertainment features:

★ Private cinema with tiered seating, 85" screen, and Nakamichi surround sound
★ 6 classic arcade machines: Ms. Pac-Man, Galaga, Street Fighter, NBA Jam, Golden Tee, and more
