"Motherhood means everything to me," Gaines once toldSouthern Living Magazine. "Everything else in my life can go away, but that's my thing. That's what wakes me up. It's my heart—these kids."
And what better gift for a mama of five than spending a spring break family vacation together in their forever happy place? On Sunday, March 15, 2026, Gaines updated on social media with a post detailing just that.
View this post on InstagramAccording to the heartwarming gallery of photos, Gaines, her husband Chip Gaines, and their children Drake, 21, Ella, 19, Duke, 17, Emmie, 16, and Crew, 7, spent time doing everything a family could hope to in the Colorado Rockies. Their eldest surprised them by bringing the whole family together for the trip.
"From the moment we pulled into the long driveway, it immediately felt like we’d found far more than what we’d been looking for," Gaines wrote in an Instagram post. "It had good bones, the right square footage, but mostly, it felt like a home away from home. While we knew that saying 'yes' to a major renovation project outside of Texas (our first!) would require being stretched beyond our comfort zone, we had a feeling taking on this fixer upper would be worth it in the end."
The Gaines' Woody Creek vacation home and what to do there
In 2024, the Gaines family took their Magnolia Network viewers on the journey with them to renovate their enviable vacation home in Woody Creek, Colorado. Their stunning abode—which has a main home and two guest cottages—is in a small community near Aspen, Colorado and has everything you could want in a family retreat. While the home itself is nothing to overlook, you'd be remiss if you didn't add Woody Creek to your travel bucket list.
The rural Rocky Mountain enclave, situated along the Roaring Fork River, is mostly known for its legendary tavern aptly named Woody Creek Tavern. Being so close to Aspen, there is no bustling downtown area, but the tavern is infamously known as the hangout of Gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson.
