Barr Ranch Retreat

Secluded in northwest Upton County, Texas, where wind and water compete with cattle and oil you will find a special place to spend a night, a weekend or a week. Centered on the 24 square mile Barr Ranch, the guesthouse (homesteaded in 1906) brings to mind relaxation, comfort and privacy with a hint of history. A short drive away from Midland and Odessa, the Retreat makes a perfect weekend getaway for our west Texas neighbors. Visitors traveling the Texas Pecos Trail will find us a welcome alternative to standard accommodations. Those using the Midland International Airport will find the Barr Ranch an ideal overnight destination on their way to the Big Bend and Trans Pecos area. Visitors are able to enjoy bird watching and wildflower viewing from the comfort of their back porch. Wildlife can be seen watering at the pond in the early morning or late evening. Hiking, mountain biking, photography and stargazing opportunities are available for the more adventuresome guests. Feel free to contact us to check the availability of the Barr Ranch Retreat or to inquire about our packages which are seasonally available. We invite you to enjoy, relax and renew at a unique place reminiscent of a unique time in history. The 15,000 acre Barr Ranch is a working cattle ranch. The original homestead was built in 1906 and has been completely renovated for the comfort of our guests. Our goal during the renovations was to provide modern comfort and yet maintain the flavor of ranch life at the turn of the century. Antique Texas maps, western prints and ranch artifacts are seen throughout the three bedroom, fully furnished and tastefully decorated former headquarters.
