Amazing weekend at the Villa
We stayed at the Villa for two nights over Easter weekend with three other families. The house is beautiful and is perfect for a large group. The kids had a great time in the pool and were sad to leave. We would definitely visit again!

Family Reunion
Element Ranch was the perfect place to host a family reunion for 32 people. The Retreats and The Villa have features that appeal to every age level. The Ranch has plenty of outdoor space for roaming, swimming, entertaining, watching sunsets, grilling, and most importantly shaded areas for relaxing and group conversations. The Villa interior layout allows for large gatherings in the living area and small, intimate conversations in the library. The Retreats and The Villa are well appointed and at the same time very comfortable. We highly recommend Element Ranch for your next family/friend get together.

Wonderful Event at Element Ranch
We recently hosted a sunset pool party at Element Ranch in Round Top, TX, and it was nothing short of magical. From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. The property is tucked away in a beautifully serene pocket of Texas, offering absolutely stunning views—especially at sunset. It felt like our own private retreat, yet it was easily accessible for all our guests.
The home itself is incredibly well-designed and thoughtfully appointed. Every space—from the expansive outdoor areas to the interior living spaces—was clearly created with hosting in mind. Whether guests were swimming, relaxing, or gathering around to eat and enjoy the evening, there was room for everyone without ever feeling crowded.
A huge thank you to Marco, the owner, who was gracious, helpful, and accommodating throughout the entire process. And Hostie, the management company, made everything seamless and stress-free. Their attention to detail and responsiveness ensured that we could focus on the fun rather than the logistics.
If you’re looking for a location in Round Top that combines comfort, style, and Texas charm, Element Ranch is it. We can’t recommend it highly enough—and we’re already dreaming about the next time we can go back.
