X Bar Ranch Nature Retreat offers a peaceful and serene getaway in a beautiful natural setting. Visitors enjoy the beautiful facilities, which include well-appointed cabins and a stocked fridge, making for a comfortable stay. The retreat is ideal for families, with many guests returning for its quiet atmosphere and scenic hiking trails. The Meador family, who have owned the ranch for seven generations, provide gracious hospitality that enhances the experience. Guests appreciate the nearly pristine dark skies, perfect for stargazing and astrophotography, with minimal light pollution. The retreat features comfortable beds and well-maintained facilities, although the bathrooms are small, akin to RV camping. The outdoor space is ideal for setting up telescopes or simply relaxing under the stars. X Bar Ranch is not a hotel but a rustic retreat that offers a unique experience of “roughing it” with a touch of comfort, making it a memorable escape from urban life. Many visitors look forward to returning, drawn by the camaraderie of fellow guests and the stunning natural beauty surrounding the ranch.
Amazing and serene place to get away. Beautiful facilities with stocked fridge. All of the staff were kind and accommodating. I highly suggest walking the hike trails!! I'm bringing my son back the next time I stay!!

Our family has stayed here twice and have enjoyed it both times. It's a very peaceful and quiet getaway location. Great place to stay if you are on your way to Sonora Caverns or Big Bend.
