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! ##### Deanne G. Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shelby E. 30 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great for Family Retreats It is a great location with space and activities to spread out and play. It was great for the whole family. ##### Shelby E.

We rented this property for Thanksgiving weekend. Property and amenities were great.

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! ##### Jeffrey ### 8/10 Good #### Wesley J. 4 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### 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. ##### Wesley J. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Scott M. 1 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Scott M. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### Luke 8 Jun 2025 #### 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. ##### Luke This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jib Muhammad 9 May 2024 #### Beautiful ranch Very nice place for friends and family gathering we enjoy a lot it’s really nice and peaceful. ##### Jib Muhammad ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Holiday Inn Express Hereford by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hereford-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Hereford.h1061709.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge by Wyndham Winchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Winchester-Hotels-Travelodge-By-Wyndham-Winchester.h9600.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Santa Clara](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Clara-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Santa-Clara.h4313.Hotel-Information) > > [Sea Crest Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/North-Falmouth-Hotels-Sea-Crest-Beach-Hotel.h25567.Hotel-Information) > > [The View Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kayenta-Hotels-The-View-Hotel.h59418009.Hotel-Information) > > [Bayshore Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Traverse-City-Hotels-Bayshore-Resort.h34264.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Orchid](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kamuela-Hotels-Fairmont-Orchid.h25190.Hotel-Information) > > [Aspen Select](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rochester-Hotels-Aspen-Select.h12245240.Hotel-Information) > > [Maui Coast Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kihei-Hotels-Maui-Coast-Hotel.h28645.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Price by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Price-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Price.h9253345.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Myrtle Beach - N Kings Hwy](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Myrtle-Beach-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Myrtle-Beach-N-Kings-Hwy.h6849.Hotel-Information) > > [Baymont by Wyndham Mishawaka South Bend Area](https://www.expedia.co.uk/South-Bend-Hotels-Baymont-By-Wyndham-Mishawaka-South-Bend-Area.h1976.Hotel-Information) > > [Solterra Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Solterra-Resort.h18526478.Hotel-Information) > > [Isla Bella Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marathon-Hotels-Isla-Bella-Beach-Resort-Spa.h24101706.Hotel-Information) > > [Anvil Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jackson-Hole-Hotels-Anvil-Hotel.h894210.Hotel-Information) > > [Yosemite View Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/El-Portal-Hotels-Yosemite-View-Lodge.h576660.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Cocoa Beach Oceanfront](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Cocoa-Beach-Oceanfront.h894002.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place Titusville / Kennedy Space Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Titusville-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Titusville-Space-Center.h44354265.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Key Largo by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Key-Largo-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Key-Largo.h7230.Hotel-Information) > > [Gurney's Montauk Resort & Seawater Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Montauk-Hotels-Gurneys-Montauk-Resort-Seawater-Spa.h7033726.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Marguerite Anaheim/Garden Grove, Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Garden-Grove-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Garden-Grove-Anaheim-South.h917954.Hotel-Information) > > [Comfort Inn & Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Defiance-Hotels-Comfort-Inn-Suites.h200743.Hotel-Information) > > [Bar N Ranch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/West-Yellowstone-Hotels-Bar-N-Ranch.h11548135.Hotel-Information) > > [Timber Ridge Lodge and Waterpark](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Geneva-Hotels-Timber-Ridge-Lodge-And-Waterpark.h1043867.Hotel-Information) > > [Yosemite Southgate Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oakhurst-Hotels-Yosemite-Southgate-Hotel-Suites.h3650.Hotel-Information) > > [Wuksachi Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sequoia-National-Park-Hotels-Wuksachi-Lodge.h893730.Hotel-Information) > > [Cartoon Network Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lancaster-Hotels-Cartoon-Network-Hotel.h50407269.Hotel-Information) > > [Margaritaville Beach Resort South Padre Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/South-Padre-Island-Hotels-Pearl-South-Padre.h21996.Hotel-Information) > > [Riviera Resort Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Margaritaville-Resort-Palm-Springs.h26011.Hotel-Information) > > [Balmoral Resort Florida](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Haines-City-Hotels-Balmoral-Resort-Florida.h19447044.Hotel-Information)
