FAQ’S
Most frequently asked questions and answers
Our pricing for retreat hosts is wholesale discounted and varies by season. The 2026 pricing ranges from $1,900-$3,600 per night for exclusive venue rental only (workshops, food, etc are not included in the venue rental rate). We have discounts for 3+ nights. To find out specific pricing please fill out the booking inquiry form so we can curate a price proposal for you.
This depends on your group’s preferred sleeping arrangements.
Retreat Ranch has 10 accommodations in total. Some accommodations have one bed, some have two beds, and one bunkhouse-style accommodation sleeps up to eight guests. Several accommodations also include sleeper sofas.
Because of the different layouts, our overnight capacity ranges from:
- 25 guests if each person has their own bed (not private room, but own bed) and sleeper sofas are not used.
- Up to 32 guests if couples or friends share queen or king beds and sleeper sofas are utilized.
If your group is looking for 15 to 20 people with everyone having their own private room or accommodation, Retreat Ranch will not be the right fit, as we have a total of 10 accommodations.
We recommend reviewing our Accommodations Guide to determine which sleeping configuration works best for your group.
For facility usage and guest comfort, we cannot exceed our maximum overnight capacity of 32 guests.
Because we are a private retreat venue, not a resort or hotel with on-demand activities, all of our activities, including horseback riding, aerial yoga, sound baths, candle making, pottery, massages, horse painting, and other specialty experiences, are provided by independent instructors and professionals who schedule their time specifically for your retreat.
Because of this:
- Activities must be reserved in advance.
- Most activities have minimum participant requirements.
- Many instructors travel to the ranch exclusively for your group and are booked weeks or months ahead.
- We are not able to offer individual guest sign-ups once your retreat is underway.
If you would like to offer optional activities, simply let us know during your planning process. We are happy to help you schedule them. You can either:
- Include the activity in your retreat price, or
- Offer it as an optional add-on that guests commit to before arriving.
Waiting until guests arrive to decide whether they want to participate usually isn’t possible because instructors have already committed their schedules, travel time, and materials.
Yep! Sure do. You can take a look at our partners here. You are welcome to do additional research to bring in who/what you need for your retreat/event.
Sorry, no. We are primarily an accommodation center so every booking requires a two night minimum.
So sorry, no (and we LOVE animals of all kinds). We have free ranging animals and livestock dogs as well as natural wildlife and it is not safe for any outside pets to come on site. Unfortunately this includes service animals. No exceptions due to safety issues for all.
We have mini split AC/Heaters in each accommodation as well as fans and electric blankets. In the peak summer the evenings are perfect, though the daytime may still be a bit warm (enjoy the dipping pools or dining hall during the daylight hours). In the winter the heater, supplemental heat and electric blankets keep you nice and toasty.
There is a day rate fee per any guest over sleeping capacity (ie you have an additional 10 people that are staying the night offsite but will be at the ranch during the daytime). Please coordinate with us ahead of time for any day guests.
You will need to provide all your food/beverage (except coffee, tea & sweeteners we provide), charcoal for the grill if you plan to use it and extra ice for beverages as well as if you want to use the ice bath plunge (we do sell bulk ice on site at cost). We provide firewood (if no restrictions in place) for the fire pit and sauna, outdoor blankets, all bedding, towels (including pool towels), body wash/shampoo/conditioner, dryers and a fully stocked kitchen with cooking supplies and serving dishes.
We do not provide house keeping services. However if you need new sheets or extra towels we can provide those to you.
No, not yet! But there is one only 12 minutes away: https://chargehub.com/en/stations/tx/marble-falls/marble-falls.html?locId=64375
At Retreat Ranch, we embrace the natural, untouched beauty of our rustic ranch setting. While we aim to provide an authentic and serene experience for all our guests, we recognize that the unique characteristics of our working ranch may present certain limitations for guests with disabilities.
Due to the nature of our retreat center, we are currently unable to accommodate service animals. Our ranch is home to free-ranging animals, and for their safety as well as that of service animals, we cannot allow any outside pets or animals on the premises.
Our facilities, including guest accommodations and communal areas, are nestled in a landscape that celebrates its rustic roots, featuring uneven grounds and stair access. Consequently, we do not have ramps or elevators, and our bathrooms are not specifically designed for accessibility.
We wish to be transparent about the challenges that individuals with certain disabilities might face at our retreat center. The entire facility is not wheelchair accessible, and individuals with mobility impairments may find it difficult to navigate the uneven terrain and stairs.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience these limitations may cause. We hope that, despite these limitations, our guests can find peace and enjoyment in the natural splendor of Retreat Ranch.
There isn’t a discounted rate for a small amount of guests as the rental includes the entire ranch regardless of the number of guests.
Kinda. You can bring them and park them in our parking lot, but we do not have hook ups and do not allow generators at night. In addition, the people staying in the RV or trailer count toward your overnight sleeping maximum of 32.
Yep! Sure can. Just arrange with us ahead of time so we can ensure we have adequate parking for you.
No and yes. We do not have cable and we only have one TV in the 1860 House. We do have internet but it is satellite internet which is subject to weather (Starlink). Consider it the perfect time to disconnect from the stresses of the world and reconnect to you and nature.
Sorry no. We do not have the infrastructure for it. However just 20-25 minutes away is a great place to do so! CLICK HERE.
Sorry, no. We do not have the infrastructure for this. However there is a great shooting range/club just 20 minutes away. CLICK HERE.
Yep! Sure can. Just contact us to set an appointment.

We LOVE sitting round the fire here at Retreat Ranch, however there are restrictions we must follow. Periodically there may be burn bans put in effect by the county due to increased wildfire risk and/or drought conditions, which means no campfires or outdoor burning of any kind at any time. Doing so may result in a $500+ fine payable to Burnet County.
If there is a burn ban in effect, we will notify you in as much advance notice as possible. Reservations cannot be cancelled or changed without penalty because of a burn ban. We do have electric s’more makers we provide and you can still use the wood burning sauna.
We do not provide food services though we have a list of local restaurants, chefs and catering options to utilize during your stay. Not to mention HEB delivers groceries and you can use our fully outfitted kitchen on site.
We do have a small massage room (Karma Lounge) that has a table and towel warmer inside. We do not provide massage or reiki therapists but we do have a list of therapists you can choose from or bring your own. All therapists need to bring their own towels, linens and supplies.
Yes! Feel free to bring your favorite drinks to enjoy during your stay—just no selling (unless you’ve got that liquor license 😉). As long as it’s legal, you’re welcome to bring and consume whatever you want!
If you are not driving, but flying in- you will want to fly into Austin International (AUS) or San Antonio International (SAT). Austin in 55 minutes away and San Antonio is an hour and 20 minutes.
