Awesome location for our family.

Highly recommend Unity Ranch for the perfect getaway. Our multi-generational family group stayed here Thursday - Sunday and enjoyed our time together on this beautiful property. The pool was awesome. The kids loved the game room. Outdoor cooking was great. Sports courts were fun. Plenty of inside seating (and A/C) to hang out inside and cool off. Plenty of room for everyone to sleep on comfortable beds. It was a great place to get away without being too far away from local stores (a couple of Dollar Store trips were made).

Family vacation

The stay was good. The hot tub wasn’t working but overall a great experience. We enjoyed the sand volleyball court as well as pickleball court. We all enjoyed the pool. The main house water pressure isn’t the best and not too much hot water. You can’t run the dishwasher and take a shower at the same time. The cooking facilities are great and enjoyed having the outside grill set-up. We would for sure come back!

Wedding weekend

Absolutely loved our stay at Unity Ranch. We had family from all over the country travel to Bertram for a wedding and the ranch was a perfect location for us! Clean, comfortable, spacious and so much fun! Everyone in our group loved it!

We loved our stay at Unity Ranch! This was the perfect place for four generations to gather and enjoy spending time with each other. There was so much to do and plenty of space. We loved the pool and outdoor area. We cooked outside (fajitas, burgers, pancakes) and enjoyed sitting in the shade poolside and on the porch. The game room and sports courts were hits, too. Plenty of seating in the main house to enjoy gathering inside as well (Texas in June can be very hot and the air conditioning was very nice.) I would definitely recommend staying here for any group wanting a fun, quiet, relaxing get-away. The beds were comfortable, the showers have good water pressure, the kitchen had the things we needed (pots and pans, utensils, etc.). We did have to look up how to use the coffee maker - none of us have a fancy Ninja at home . This was our 17th annual family trip and this place was the perfect spot! Thank you for sharing this awesome property.

No place is ever perfect because of everyone’s different needs but this one came pretty close for our family. Everything was very clean and the place was set up for big groups with plenty of refrigerator and cupboard space. We didn’t use the hot tub because we had too many littles and parents were too tired at the end of the night so no clue if it worked. One side of the outdoor grill eventually got hot after an hour so plan ahead if you’re grilling. We ended up using the electric skillet provided at the big house. There were plenty of trash bags but be sure to throw in extra paper towels and containers for leftovers if you’re bringing any home. We would love to come again when it’s cooler and use the sand volleyball and pickle courts but Texas is too hot in early August. The pool is beautiful and where we spent the majority of our time. Only 30 minutes from Longhorn State Park where we all enjoyed the cavern tour and just a few minutes from town to grab pizza for a big crew. Beautiful sunrise views from the front porch, no problems encountered and another fabulous bi-annual family reunion in the books!

Great Place!

The entire group enjoy the stay at the Bertram Retreat. we took a group of students to compete in a State BBQ Cookoff in a nearby community. The students loved the outside games, pool area and game room. The adults enjoyed the space and the ability to divide up with students and not have the entire group in one house. Very clean and refreshing!

Birthday Family Gathering

The location was selected because it was central to families living in west Texas, DFW Metroplex and Houston area. The pool, basketball court and pickleball allowed for a lot of fun outdoor activities. Kids from 3-8 years old had a ton of fun as did the younger adults. The older folks were quite comfortable watching everyone have fun. There was plenty of room for our families to spread out and have their own space which was nice after a long day.

Whole family loved it

I had a family of 23 that stayed. There was plenty of sleeping space for everyone. Amenities were amazing for everyone age 3- 67. We had issues with the cleanliness of the pool/ hot tub but both evolve addressed the issues in a timely manner and we were understanding since it was a same day turnaround. We also had the AC in house 3 freeze over but our guest contact was able to remotely get it taken care of in under 30 min. We took our own necessities, just to be prepared but all three homes had ample amount of necessities for us all.Worst part about our stay was having to leave.We would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful Place

Plenty of activities! Pickleball, basketball, pool table, volleyball court, swimming pool, jacuzzi and fire pit. My family agreed we would book this place again.The things that were bothersome:- very difficult to get replies from the host, evidently VRBO hast to contact another host called Evolve. A lot of money spent on this reservation and VRBO has to contact someone else to get answers. - The location on the VRBO website is incorrect and you will not find anything there on google maps. We finally got an address from VRBO and google maps showed the same location. So we did some extra research and found a place called Unity Ranch near Bertram. This is the place and the proper address.

Family Trip

The place was very nice and everyone had a great time. However, we experienced numerous issues, and trying to get a hold of the host was very difficult, and Several times I would bring up an issue, it was completely ignored. The wifi didn't work, we found bugs throughout the house, the pool was swimmable but was cloudy and was starting to smell. The pool cleaner told us there was an issue that was brought to their attention over a month ago, but they have not been given the approval to fix it and we had some plumbing issues as well. After all of the issues, there was 0 effort from the host to try to make it right in any way. Again, the place was nice and had plenty of things for everyone in our group to do, but the lack of response and hospitality from the host was disappointing.
