On episode 6 of the All Things Carlton Landing podcast, we meet Tanae Coleman. She’s a mom of three who lives in Northwest Arkansas. 

She loves family, loves to travel and joins us today to share about her recent experience gathering at Carlton Landing for their multigenerational family reunion. 

Thirty-three of them stayed in three different homes on or near Firefly Park with 20 of those being kids ranging from the toddler to the teen years. 

She shares how gathering at Carlton Landing compared to other past locations, how they handled food, schedule, and all the other nitty-gritty details you’ll want to know to help you plan your next family or friend reunion at Carlton Landing.

Adam and I grew up in Oklahoma, met at OU and moved to Fort Worth, TX after we married. We have 3 amazing teens & have always dreamed of owning a cabin in the woods of SE OK where I grew up. We wanted a place to escape & connect as a family, especially during the teen years when we need a strong family connection more than ever. 

When we stumbled across Carlton Landing & then The Lodge, it felt like home. It's the "cabin" we always wanted, but in the middle of the most family-friendly community that offers all we need to spend quality time with our kids.

Family's that play and laugh together STAY together, so we've stocked The Lodge with all you'll need to have fun at home and around CL. There's always more tasks to complete- I love that CL helps me remember that people matter most. Our time at Carlton Landing has blessed our family more than we ever imagined and we hope it does the same for yours!
