The Best Group Retreat Venue in Central Texas: Why Spring Lakes Ranch Is Perfect for Your Next Event
Looking for the ideal retreat venue in Texas that offers both peace and purpose? Whether you’re planning a corporate retreat, church gathering, family reunion, or outdoor wedding, Spring Lakes Ranch is Central Texas’s best-kept secret — and the ultimate destination for your next unforgettable experience.
🌿 A Retreat Center That Blends Nature and Luxury
Nestled on 1,000 private acres just outside Waco — and less than 2 hours from Dallas, Fort Worth, and Austin — Spring Lakes Ranch offers the perfect balance of rustic charm and modern convenience.
With on-site lodging, a commercial kitchen, and multiple gathering spaces, our venue is purpose-built for meaningful events in a serene setting.
🏡 Lodging and Facilities That Fit Every Group
Spring Lakes Ranch accommodates up to 100 overnight guests and 250+ event attendees — making it one of the few group retreat venues in Texas that can comfortably host large events with lodging.
You’ll have access to:
Three luxuriously appointed ranch homes
A full-service event barn for celebrations and receptions
A conference center for presentations, worship, or training
Outdoor spaces for weddings, team-building, or lakeside meditation
