GROUP RETREATS

HILL COUNTRY CORPORATE & GROUP VENUE

With ample lodging, comfortable meeting spaces, and a score of activities, X Bar Ranch is the perfect location for your next church group retreat, team building activity, or corporate gathering. The ranch-style pool is a hit on hot summer days, and there's always time for a friendly game of horseshoes, washers or petanque or bocce ball. Other activities can include hiking the 3-mile trail loop, nature photography and nearby attractions.
There's room for as many as 100 daytime guests, but the X Bar also can accommodate groups ranging between 12 - 50 people overnight. For one flat rate (with a two-night minimum) you can reserve lodging for all of them in our cabins and RV/tent campsites, and you'll also enjoy exclusive access to all Live Oak Lodge facilities.
