Chisholm Trail Rustic Venue

Love this place. The decor is beautiful already with a rustic vibe that wouldn't be hard to put your own spin on. That saloon is a perfect, chic respite from the dance floor. The entry to the venue is fun way to wow your guests, a great impression for a memorable event.

After visiting the Outdoor Museum, I walked over to the Rustic Venue and quickly discovered it is not affiliated with the historical site. In speaking with the propreitor, I soon learned it is a private venue for weddings, parties, or for pretty much anything under the sun. Not wanting to overstay my welcome, I didn't have the chance to explore the grounds. What little I can surmise, this looks like a great place to get away for a bit. Check it out!

Great venue in the country of Cleburne that takes you back to cowboy and indian days. The setup is quite charming! You enter into another world complete with a saloon that has a bar and tables and chairs. There's an outdoor fire pit area for roasting marshmallows or maybe a rabbit.. JK! There are two additional buildings that accommodate a wedding party, bride and groom, or extra guests. There's an outdoor area that has lawn games, an area for an outdoor wedding, and kids area. There's a huge barn where guests can sit, eat, or dance the night away. The owners are wonderful hosts and will make sure you are well taken care of!

We had a great day at Chisholm Trail Rustic Venue. We had an after Christmas family get together. There was a beautiful barn for dining. Plenty of games for the kids and the barn was toasty warm. A court yard led to the barn and it was so cute.We loved it. I would recommend Chisholm Trail Rustic Venue for family get togethers. Kathy was the best and made everything great for our party.

Shot a music video here, great to work with. Lots of different looks between the spaces. The center town space won't be large/realistic enough for a period piece, but the saloon could host a nice shoot out interior space. Also a great place for stills, something like rustic wear modeling or as a western wedding venue. I accidentally left behind a small piece of gear and Kathy worked hard to track it down down for me. Shipped it back in good time. Looks like could be rented for good lodging as well.

Excellent place to stay! Stayed in the house with a group of friends to spend the weekend studying for state boards. The house was very comfortable and plenty of room for a group. It had everything we needed for the weekend for cooking, showering, sleeping! It was too cold out to go out and enjoy the property but the fireplace works like a charm. The owners are extremely friendly and welcoming and want their guests to be comfortable. I highly recommend staying here! Especially for a girls weekend or group getaway.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time here! It was so much fun as well as relaxing! Kathy and Bob we were wonderful hosts! We will be back and highly recommend that others stay here!

At a first glance it is a very beautiful venue but, the neglected property management almost ruined my wedding day. The power went off at 10:45 that morning and would not stay on. My wedding coordinator contacted the property manager, to which she did not answer and my matron of honor basically had to handle it all to where I couldn't spend time with all my bridesmaids the day of my wedding. When my Matron of Honor called and the property manager didn't answer she left a message, asking her to call back asap. Which she then immediately called my coordinator back. She never gave my Matron of Honor the common courtesy to even let us know she was going to fix it or that she would be coming there. She finally showed up and she sat and flipped the breaker off and on for 4 hours. She did not bother getting a generator till 30 minutes before the wedding which filled up the barn with a gas smell. I did not get to have my grand entrance the way I wanted to due to the electricity being off. The fog machine I wanted to use did not have time to heat up. The electric outlets and all wiring all need to be replaced before there is a fire or someone gets electrocuted. The air conditioning couldn't keep the rooms cool to where the groomsmen's were covered in sweat while they were getting ready. The electricity was off and on every 15 minutes and we did not know if the food would be ok to eat. My cake fell due to the electricity being off. Almost all my guest left immediately after dinner due to the heat. A lot of my guest got over heated and even myself to where I almost had to change to enjoy my reception. There are nails sticking out of wood to where my dress got caught on one and there are nails and screws all over the ground. I was skeptical about letting my child run around.The guest house-the mice added to the rustic touchThe property manager was told by the Bridesmaids, there was a mouse problem she stated I had it sprayed, and then the following day I saw the mouse on the kitchen counter, eating the chips, which the rodent problem was another reason why my guests didn't want to stay. The whole point of us renting the place for the weekend was so that everybody could stay. On top of that her complimentary condiments were expired. The beds need to be replaced. The hanger to hang your bridesmaids dresses is only meant for short dresses not long. The fridge in the saloon had to be used by the caterer for food, so there is not a fridge available for keeping drinks cold for the bar, I had to go buy big tubs to keep the beer cold. So there needs to be a commercial refrigerator for caterers only as well as one in the saloon. The extra parking is up the hill so all the extra cars that are parked will show up in your reception pictures. -Chairs for ceremony and receptionI was told the day before to assign people to help move chairs in from the ceremony to reception area. I mentioned this to my wedding coordinator who contacted the property manager to which the manger stated that her and her assistant could move the chairs. After the ceremony one of my guests was seen moving chairs, while Kathy sat and watched. When my coordinator mentioned to Kathy about moving the chairs, she started yelling at her. My guests should not have to move chairs, some of them were in their 80s and 90s. If she is going to accommodate 120 people she needs to have 240 chairs. When I addressed all these issues the following day, she tries to bribe me with a free girls weekend at the venue, stating "I don't want you to write a bad review".

I'm having a difficult time writing this review because there does not seem to be words to explain just how amazing my daughters wedding was. We decided to rent the venue for 48 hours so we could stay there and enjoy the entire weekend. It was AMAZING! There is something magical about this place. Kathy and her assistant Whitney went above and beyond for me. They even stepped in and helped me during the planning when I had some stresses with other vendors. We had a downpour of rain (even flooding) in the days coming up to the wedding, including the night before. And they still supported my decision to have the ceremony outside and they had a plan to move it in at the last minute if it came down to that. It was amazing staying at the cabin on the property for 2 days. We got to have our rehearsal and rehearsal dinner there. We also got to enjoy the saloon the night before the wedding and just relax and have fun with family. The pictures are amazing. The DJ stayed late and we just danced in the barn for hours into the night celebrating my daughters wedding. I can not say enough about this amazing place. I've never been to a venue that offers so much and a huge part of that is Kathy and Whitney. I recommend Chisholm Trail Rustic Venue for any event! I hope to be able to rent it again in the future.

The hosts were very communicative and super nice .... the western theme was awesome , really enjoyed my stay ... will come back :)
