Family Retreats

Where three generations find their common ground.

A Private Property Built for the People Who Matter Most

At Ketterman Ranch, a family retreat is not an amenity package you book through a portal. It is a full property experience designed around your people, your schedule, and how your family actually wants to spend time together.

Set across 1,228 acres of Texas Hill Country outside Burnet, the Ranch offers exclusive buyouts for families of all sizes and configurations. Grandparents, parents, teenagers, and young children each find something that holds their attention and draws them outside. Safari-style wildlife rides through terrain shared by axis deer, blackbuck antelope, and sika deer. Bass fishing on the private lake. Clay shooting at golden hour. A 30-foot dual-sided bar in The Lookout for the adults who have earned it.

Multi-generational stays at Ketterman are private by design. When your family books the property, you have it entirely to yourselves. No other guests, no shared common spaces, no intrusions.

A Private Setting, Designed Around You

Set across 1,228 acres in the Texas Hill Country, Ketterman Ranch offers full property buyouts that give your family complete privacy, flexibility, and room for every generation to spread out.
