The peaceful and relaxed settings surrounded by nature make for a great place to get away for that memorable group event. The X Bar Ranch can provide the ideal setting for group gatherings including:

Day and overnight business retreats (corporate and non-profit) Company / organizational parties and picnics Family reunions Weddings, receptions, showers and rehearsal dinners Scrapbook retreats Star Parties Church retreats (couples, youth and class) Parties (birthdays, anniversary, seasonal, social).

Meetings & Retreats

Flexibility is key here. The lodge offers plenty of space for up to 12 scrappers with room left over to cook, dine, snack and relax. Sleeping arrangements in private cabins surrounding the lodge allow for the most dedicated scrappers to do their thing anytime day or night.

Family Reunions - The X Bar is a family reunion favorite. With people scattered and hectic schedules this is an ideal location to draw families together and offers a perfect destination for all. With limitless on-site and nearby options for fun, family members of all ages will be glad you spent your family time together at the X Bar, your own private resort.

Weddings - Consider the X Bar a perfect setting for all facets of a wedding, from showers and luncheons to rehearsal dinners and even the big day itself. Be it an intimate candlelit ceremony or a grand celebration, the majestic Texas Hill Country backdrop will live long in your memories of a special day in a special place. And when it's time, you won't feel bad leaving revelers behind at the Live Oak Lodge as you travel only a couple of miles further into the ranch to the ultimate honeymoon suite, the Round House.
