Accessibility Statement

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.

FAQ’S

Most frequently asked questions and answers

Our pricing for retreat hosts is wholesale discounted and varies by season.  To find out pricing please fill out the hosting form so we can curate a price proposal for you.

Well this isn’t the easiest to answer as it depends on how you use the beds and sleeping sofas. Check out our stay page to see which accommodations have what layouts to determine the sleeping capacity for you. It ranges from 25 (if one person per bed and not using the sleeping sofas) to 32 if you sleep two per queen/king bed and utilize the sleeping sofas. No, I am sorry, we cannot go above our sleeping capacity for overnight guests.

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. 

Yes and no.  We do have mini split AC/Heaters in each tent as well as electric blankets.  In the 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. **PLEASE NOTE WE ARE REMOVING THE ACCOMMODATION BELL TENTS AND REPLACING THEM WITH CABINS.

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 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 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

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 28. 

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 or any tv’s anywhere on the property. We do have internet but it is satellite internet which is subject to weather and just slow as molasses. Your phone won’t work great either. 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.

Reservations are confirmed upon receipt of your deposit (equal to half of the minimum booking amount unless otherwise specified/agreed upon and refundable damage/security deposit or event insurance policy).

Payment in full is due no less than 25 days prior to your stay/event.

If you cancel with 180 or more days notice then a refund minus $500 plus credit card processing fees of 7% will be issued. If you cancel with 179 to 120 days notice then a 50% refund of monies paid will be refunded plus 7% credit card processing fees.  If you cancel with 119 days to 91 days then a 50% credit of what was paid will be issued (that does not expire, also not applicable for holiday dates, subject to restrictions). Less than 90 days and earlier there are no refunds or credits.  An option is that we also can open up the date with no refund to see if it is rebooked- which then we would issue a full refund minus a 10% processing & credit card fees if it is rebooked.

You can change your date with 120 or more days notice with a $250 change fee.  For changes less than 120 days to 60 days notice there is a $500 change fee for low season dates and $1,000 fee for high season dates.  Changes with less than 59 days pr ;less notice are subject to restrictions and may not qualify for a change and may be subject to a $1,500 change fee (not available for high season dates).

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.
