Retreats & Events At the Ranch

Resources and Partners

Congratulations on booking an event or retreat here at the ranch! Below is a list of resources as well as partners in our area that other event/retreat hosts have used here at the ranch. Not everything will apply to you, but use what is needed and feel free to reach out if you have a question or a need that isn’t answered on here! We’re excited to have you at the ranch!

Our Location

Our ranch is located in Marble Falls, the heart of hill country Texas. The closest airports are:

  • Austin International {code AUS} 55 minutes
  • San Antonio International {code SAT} 80 minutes
  • Killeen-Fort Hood Regional Airport {code GRK} 90 minutes

There are so many amazing things to do in our town: Shopping, breweries, wineries, galleries, hiking, boating, kayaking, fishing. More information can also be found by visiting: https://visitmarblefalls.org/

General Resources:

  • Here is a google drive with lots of info (info for your guests, pics to use and more)
  • On the ranch we have a scavenger hunt style intentional meditation walking path with 10 stations. Each station has a bench and some sort of physical item (sign, art, etc) that coincides with our meditation journal (stations have questions to ponder based on what is at that station).  You are welcome to invite your guests to use this path and this is the journal that goes with it that you can print and share.
  • If you or your guests are booking horseback riding, this is the online waiver to fill out prior to horseback riding (note helmets are required for all riders-which we provide). Keep in mind horseback riding has to be arranged ahead of time and has some scheduling limitations (as well as is influenced by weather, health of the horses, etc).
  • Looking for hiking recommendations? Check out this article with great suggestions.
  • Closest electric vehicle charging station.

A few reminders

While we love having y’all here, there are a few important reminders for retreats/events/stays:

  • Please no use of confetti, fake flowers, etc.  Our animals could eat them and get sick.  Real flowers, rice and bubbles are fine
  • Reminder our quiet hours start at 9pm.  You can still have fun and enjoy you/your group till anytime (please note the outdoor string lights automatically turn off at 12am, you can turn back on via the timer on the porch of the check in cabin), just no amplified noises, screaming, etc. after 9pm
  • No fireworks at all and no real candles/fires anywhere other than the fire pit.  Also note the fire pit is subject to county restrictions and if there is a burn ban in place by the county there can be NO fires otherwise you will be subject to fines and/or imprisonment (yikes)
  • Please do not let children under the age of 14 left unattended AT ANY TIME and no kids in the heated hot tub or sauna 
  • If you move furniture around, please put back before departure.  No inside furniture to be brought outside.  If you need the large tables in the common area moved, please contact us as we have to use a tractor
  • If you use our yoga supplies, please clean and put back neatly in the storage area
  • Please do not feed the animals except for the treats left out for the goats and chickens
