Lucky Spur Ranch Retreat

Great place!! We really enjoyed our time at the ranch. It's a great place today to do an event.

I attended a beautiful wedding at Lucky Spur Ranch a few months back and when it came time to book the annual sales meeting for our company, it immediately stuck out in my mind as the perfect venue. I went and toured the property with Sharie, who is the sweetest woman in the world, and was able to get a look at the amenities as well as the beautiful conference room. We booked the whole ranch for our corporate retreat, a sales team of around 22, and it could not have gone any better than it did. We wanted to give our team of traveling salesmen/saleswomen from around the country a taste of Texas and Lucky Spur Ranch Retreat blew them away. We will be back year after year. Thank you for everything Dakon and Sharie! *Notable amenities - Guided skeet shooting event, in house catering, stunning rustic sleeping quarters, fire pit, cocktail saloon for after-hours team building, "smart" board room/conference room with projector, breathtaking views everywhere you look. 10 out of 10Thank you Lucky Spur,Brian

Went here for a leadership retreat. Great staff EXCELLENT food, and top notch service. They definitely made us feel like a family. We will definitely book this place again. Great grounds, amenities and activities.

Lucky Spur was the first vendors I booked in early 2018, after rescheduling our wedding twice we finally got married August 2020 and Sharie was with us every step of the way, the whole two and half years! I was always asking questions and would get a quick answer. You could even text them, which I used for more urgent questions. The ranch is amazing and all my guest were so impressed. The bridal suit was totally big enough for me, my six bridesmaids, my 2 year old daughter, three moms, one makeup artist & one hair stylist. The grooms suite was plenty big enough also and they even hung out in the saloon playing pool & watching TV before the ceremony. Highly recommend this venue for any event!

We came to a wedding here and were blown away at how beautiful this venue is. It's like walking into a cute old western village. The servers were great and efficient, always coming around offering the tastiest appetizers. Unlike other places who offer catering, the food was actually top quality and delicious. For main dinner, we had tex-mex fajitas with spanish rice, charro beans, and all the fixings you could think of. The beef was so tender and the chicken bursting with flavor. I was SO impressed. The staff we met were all very professional and committed. Lucky Spur is like..luxurious meets rustic meets super-duper-charming. I was in love. It's such a memorable experience for the guests. I believe they made an excellent choice of venue. The view from their altar is sprawling farm land with a pond and grazing cattle. They even offer lodging for guests, and although I didn't see it, I'm sure it is equally beautiful. I did get to peek inside the bridal suite and was amazed at the multiple bedrooms and sprawling amenities it provided. I would recommend this ranch to anyone looking for the ultimate rustic wedding experience.

Don't get me wrong, we loved the concept of Lucky Spur, but the execution left so much to be desired. For one, the behavior and dismissive attitude of the owner Dakon, event manager Sharie, and the catering manager Jennica was ridiculous. Considering a weekend package is $25,000 for the space alone, you would think that you would be getting top notch service. Maybe for Dakon and Sharie that's pocket change but my family works hard for the money we earn and they saved up quite a bit for my husband, myself, and our wedding party to stay there and to be treated the way we were was appalling. First off: bugs. bugs in the beds, bugs in the showers, bugs crawling out of every drain. I understand it's a ranch but to come back from our wedding to our suite and seeing our countertop COVERED in bugs coming our of the drain and some of my guests not being able to stay for either Friday or Saturday night because of bugs they found in their sheets is absolutely unacceptable. We told Dakon and Sharie and BOTH of their responses were, "Well....they're not 'bed bugs'...just...bugs in the beds.." um??? comforting i guess. Housekeeping also did not properly clean the rooms. My husband found used contact lenses on our nightstand which is a health hazard. Other guests reported finding similar things from the previous guests in their rooms and around the ranch.The ceremony space had trash and leftover food all over the ground and chairs that my wedding party helped us pick up, there were cups filled with water and cigarette butts all over the property when we arrived that we were promised would get "cleaned up on Saturday" (the day of the wedding) and they were not and were still there by the time guests were arriving. The hot tub was completely unusable with low water and filled with dirt, leaves, and debris, and when we reported it on Friday we were promised by Sharie "Ok. I will let staff know to check ASAP." the groundskeeper that was there was making out with someone in the parking lot and the hot tub did not get fixed on Friday. My husband and I told Dakon about the hot tub in person on Saturday, he said he'd take a look at it and all he did was fill up the hot tub, didn't even clean it or give us any kind of update after the fact. The catering staff ignored the floorplan I sent them with 20 tables for guests and a sweetheart table and instead gave us 18 tables with no sweetheart table. I asked some of the workers who were grabbing tables for a different event what happened and they said "Well, we went off of your guest count." "But I wanted 20 tables. Not all of my guests are going to want to sit next to each other." "We need these tables for another event" was their response. We looked at where they kept the tables after they took what they needed for their other event and sure enough there were 6 more tables left. Our sweetheart table was also broken - we had to repair that too. Jennica also promised that we could take home the leftovers for the buffet line since we paid for it, obviously. We instead saw the catering staff tossing everything in the trash at the end of the night. When asking Jennica about keeping the leftovers over email she said that there were no leftovers and then never responded when we brought up that we saw the catering staff throwing our food away. We never once got an apology from Dakon, Sharie, or Jennica for anything other than the floorplan mess up. They would ignore our text messages or certain questions we asked and gave us short, rude responses. Book at your own risk.

This is in response to the review thread between my wife and Dakon because I can not respond to his message directly.I was also present during the conversation on Saturday morning, neither of us said it was just one bug on the bed, and my father in-law has a video of him counting out the bugs present on multiple beds. You also conveniently failed to address in your reply the bugs that were covering our own suite's sinks, shower, and bed, separate from the bunk house that you mentioned. Your condescending reply to a paying customer reflects your character as a person and business owner and failing to bring up some crucial information is telling. "I'm assuming you have never had a bug in your house?" Is deflecting the issue and not a valid excuse considering the price tag, we're from the Texas hill country and no stranger to bugs so this statement being doubled down on was a slap in the face for both me and my wife. We looked into your facebook reviews too, and it seems your ranch has had issues with pests before with one of Sharie's responses to a guest complaining of being bitten by bugs in your beds was she demanded that the guest send her a doctor's note proving the BITES from bugs in the beds were bed bug bites. It's an unprofessional response to a health and sanitation issue - the point should be that your guests who spend hard earned money here are getting bitten by bugs in their beds regardless of what kind. Same with the hot tub, that should have been ready for us to use before we even got there, and while you filled it, it was still dirty after the fact. You also failed to respond to the cups with cigarette butts laying around the ranch that were still present despite your claims of a thorough cleanup on Saturday.For you to claim that you and your team set up additional tables at no cost is a misleading statement. There is nothing in our invoices for a cost for tables, only for food, and both Sharie and Jennica said that the tables and set up were part of the cost. Not that it mattered because our wedding party - not you or your team - set up the 2 extra tables on Friday through finding the linens, chargers, and plates in the reception hall storage after the aforementioned interaction with your catering team.Your statement over leftovers is also misleading, Jennica claimed there were no leftovers, but now you're saying there were some leftovers - so which is it? If there were some, we were promised in person at our tasting that we can take them home with Jennica's words being "Of course you can take them home, you paid for it."You're correct in saying you apologized in person, but only specifically about the behavior of your staff about the floorplan. And our wedding was great, our other vendors and wedding party went above and beyond to ensure that it would be, Lucky Spur did not, and our stay was not included in that comment about it being great.Again, we're not trying to ruin your business, but others should be aware so that hopefully they do not have an experience like our's.

an amazing wedding Venue. I couldn't have asked for a better place to have country dream wedding.
