Sleeps 24 with 2,500 sf of lake-view decks, two kitchens and a play deck

Gather your whole crew at Twilight Hollow, a roughly 4,000 sq ft lake-view home built for large groups: family reunions, wedding parties, teams and retreats. It sleeps 24 across 6 bedrooms and 16 beds, with two full kitchens, two living areas, 2,500 sq ft of decks overlooking Stillhouse Hollow Lake, outdoor dining for 18+, four high-end OLED TVs, and a downstairs play deck with pickleball, ping pong, ladder ball and other yard games.

Twilight Hollow is laid out so big groups can spread out without feeling disconnected. Each floor works as its own home with its own outside entrance; the floors connect from outside only, with no inside staircase.

Upstairs (sleeps 8): a primary suite with 1 king bed and an ensuite bathroom, a queen bedroom, and a second bedroom with 2 queen beds. A full guest bathroom on this level serves the bedrooms and living area. The living and dining area has a wood-burning stone fireplace and opens directly onto the main deck, a natural hub for coffee, planning the day or relaxing between activities.

Downstairs (sleeps 16): a second primary bedroom with a king bed plus a pull-out queen Murphy bed, a queen bedroom, and a large bunk room with 8 twin beds. Two full bathrooms serve the bedrooms and common spaces, which makes mornings much easier with a full house. The downstairs lounge has an 85-inch OLED TV with a sound bar, an oversized couch, and an XL memory-foam bean bag that converts to a queen mattress, a great spot for movie nights and big games.

The upstairs kitchen is fully equipped for group cooking, with modern appliances, plenty of counter space and the essentials to cook for a crowd. The downstairs kitchen is a smaller full kitchen with pots, pans, baking sheets and utensils, so a second crew can cook, bake or make late-night snacks without crowding the main kitchen. Just outside, the back deck seats 18+ for shared meals with lake views.

Outdoor living is a big part of the experience. The wraparound second-story deck has scenic lake views out front and room on the back side for dining and lounging. A turf hangout with Adirondack chairs is ideal for morning coffee or sunset drinks. On the lower level, the play deck has a half-court pickleball net, ping pong table, ladder ball and other yard games, so kids and adults have plenty to do without leaving the property.

Parking is easy for large parties: the upper and lower driveways fit about 12 cars together. Please don't park under the deck, as it can damage the home's structure. Self check-in with keypad entry on each floor, plus a backup lockbox on site, makes it simple for guests arriving at different times.

Lake views, not lakefront. Stillhouse Hollow Lake is about a 10-minute walk over rough, unmarked ground through wooded public Army Corps land, with no trail, dock or private shoreline. The lake's public parks and boat ramps are a short drive away. Belton is close for groceries and dining (H-E-B is about 8 minutes), and Waco and Austin are each under an hour, for day trips to Magnolia, Baylor events, restaurants and live music, with a peaceful lake-view base to come back to.

Twilight Hollow is especially well suited for multi-family gatherings, wedding groups, sports teams, and corporate or church retreats that need lots of beds and multiple hangout zones. Off-season stays from January through April are quieter, making the house an excellent setting for planning sessions, workshops, or reconnecting with family and friends.

Good to know: maximum occupancy is 30 people on the property at any time, overnight guests included; the home sleeps 24. Celebrations are welcome within that limit, but please no glitter, confetti, flower petals, rice or anything else that scatters, indoors or out, and remove all decorations, balloons and tape before checkout. Extra cleanup is charged at actual cost through VRBO. No pets (service animals welcome). No fireworks. Exterior security cameras cover the driveway and entrances only.
