Welcome to RusTx Ranch and The Gathering Place: Retreat and Event Center
Tucked away in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, RusTx Ranch offers a unique blend of handcrafted charm, modern comfort, and wide-open spaces to relax, gather, and celebrate. Whether you’re planning an intimate wedding, a corporate retreat, a family reunion, or a weekend escape, you’ll find everything you need to create unforgettable moments here.

At the center of it all is The Gathering Place: Retreat and Event Center, a versatile venue designed for connection and celebration. Surrounded by sweeping views and rustic elegance, The Gathering Place is perfect for weddings, meetings, reunions, corporate events, retreats, and special occasions of all kinds.

Complementing the event space are nine individually themed cottages, each built by hand with Colorado beetle-kill pine walls, tin ceilings, and stained concrete floors. Step inside and you’ll find every cottage tells its own story — from vintage skis and sleds in “Colorado,” to riding boots in “EmilyAnn,” to the fishing cooler in “Dave’s.” Every detail has been thoughtfully curated to make your stay feel personal, warm, and memorable.

Whether you’re staying for a night, a weekend, or a week, RusTx Ranch invites you to slow down, reconnect with nature, and create lifelong memories.
