Texas Business Retreats at Lake Godstone: a private 188-acre lake offsite near Graford, Texas, 90 minutes from Fort Worth. A classroom for forty, Wi-Fi across the campus, a private gun range, a stocked lake and lodging for 35 to 100. One organization at a time.
Where the team sleeps
The Lodge for the group; the Guest Home and cabins for anyone who needs a door and a desk.
Hear first when this host opens direct rates or adds a new place.
Team building here does not need a facilitator. Split into boats for a bass tournament, run the range, take the UTV around the trail, and settle it around the six-foot fire pit.
Your team will not be checking email from a hotel ballroom here. They will be on a porch over a private lake, ninety minutes from Fort Worth, with a classroom for the working sessions and 188 acres for everything else.
We host one organization at a time. The ranch, the range, the boats and the trails are yours for the duration. Dom and Carol live on site and handle the logistics so you can run the agenda.
Bring the whole company. Leave with a team.

Weddings
We house the wedding party; Painted Lakes hosts the wedding
Lake Godstone does not hold weddings, but we are the lodging for them. Painted Lakes, fourteen miles away, is the venue we recommend (Susan Lake, 940-229-9399). Book the Lodge for the family and the cabins for the couple, and the rehearsal dinner happens on our porch.
