Fieldwell Ranch pool and barn at golden hour
Dripping Springs, Texas

A private wellness ranch, held quietly
for one group at a time.

The Farmhouse Kitchen, a five-room fitness barn with its own sauna and cold plunges, and a 50-foot saltwater pool, on 32 acres of live oak. Forty minutes from Austin. Up to 10 guests, and nobody else. Built non-toxic, top to bottom.

The Farmhouse Kitchen with its long communal table

Celebrate properly. Leave better than you arrived.

We built Fieldwell because we wanted it to exist: a place to gather, eat well, move, sweat and actually rest. It sits somewhere between a whole-house rental and a boutique hotel. You get the privacy of the whole property and the care of people who thought about every detail.

French country home meets Texas Hill Country, with a little Mallorca in the touches. Warm plaster, limestone and blackened steel under mature live oaks. Simple, considered, and intentionally so.

Everything here is built non-toxic, from the linens to the cleaning products, so the place works for your body, not against it. Organic mattresses and linens, lime plaster, filtered water, plant-based cleaning products and no synthetic fragrance anywhere. What does Fieldwell smell like? Nothing. Intentionally. You'll notice it when you wake up.

Every stay is a full-property buyout. One group, one gathering, the whole 32 acres. And three miniature Mediterranean donkeys, who will absolutely come say hello.

Josh and Kristina live 20 minutes down the road. Check-in is yours, and we're close if you need us.

What's here

Built for six things.

Gather

The Farmhouse Kitchen, with one long table that fits everyone. Cook together, or book a private chef and stay at the table.

Move

The fitness barn is five rooms under one vaulted roof: a strength room, a cardio room, a studio for Pilates, yoga and meditation, a large custom sauna and the chill room. Lift on Eleiko racks, ride, row or hit the heavy bag, or take the reformer for an hour. It's small on purpose and built properly, and nobody's waiting on the bench. Personal trainer on request.

Relax

A 50-foot saltwater pool under the live oaks, with a seating area at the far end.

Recover

The last two rooms in the barn: a large custom sauna, then the chill room, with two cold plunges, towels, filtered water, tea and a couple of chairs. Heat, cold, repeat. Then the outdoor shower.

Nourish

An edible garden, filtered water throughout, and Hawk's Shadow Winery next door. A bottle of theirs is waiting when you arrive.

Wander

Hiking trails across 32 acres, Hill Country sunsets, and open space with oak light for workshops, sessions and shoots.

Where everyone sleeps

Four bedrooms, up to 10 guests including kids.

  • Two king rooms
  • A bunk room with a queen and a full bunk
  • A room with two twin beds

Organic mattresses and linens in every one, so nobody draws the short straw on sleep.

Who this is for

Six ways to hold the whole place.

Wellness Retreats

For facilitators who need a space as good as their program. Yoga, breathwork, coaching or a small creative retreat for up to 10, with the sauna, plunges, fitness barn and kitchen already built in. You bring the people. The ranch holds them.

Corporate Offsites

For small leadership teams who need real distance from the office. Strategy at the long table, the harder conversations in the sauna, and everyone heading home clearer than they arrived.

Celebrations & Bachelorettes

Birthdays and bachelorettes with no neighbors to keep it down for, and nobody wrecked the next morning. Toast at dinner, sweat it out at sunrise.

Family & Friend Gatherings

Reunions, two families sharing a weekend, the friend trip you keep postponing. The whole place, nobody else.

Rehearsal Dinners

The night before, at a long table under the oaks, somewhere that photographs like the wedding itself. We host the rehearsal dinner, not the 200-person reception.

Brand & Photo Shoots

Full-day or multi-day access to a location built for texture. Limestone, oak light, and donkeys on set.

Open living and kitchen with stone hood

FAQ

Good questions.

How do 10 people sleep?

Four bedrooms: two king rooms, a bunk room with a queen and a full bunk, and a room with two twins. Fieldwell sleeps up to 10, including kids, and every bed is organic.

Can we bring a few extra people?

Fieldwell sleeps 10 and stays that way. No air mattresses, no extra bodies on couches. It's a big part of why it feels the way it does.

What's it like in summer?

It's Texas, so it's warm. The ranch sits under mature live oak cover, the saltwater pool is 50 feet long, and the cold plunges are always cold. Every bedroom is air-conditioned. Fall and spring are our favorite seasons out here.

Does “wellness” mean no drinking?

Not at all. There's a bottle from Hawk's Shadow next door waiting when you arrive. The difference is the morning after: sauna, plunge, and breakfast at the long table.

Is there a place for a DJ or a band?

This isn't a party house. Bring a playlist instead: there are Sonos speakers in the Farmhouse Kitchen and the fitness barn.

Can we bring kids?

Yes. Fieldwell sleeps up to 10 including kids, and the donkeys are a reliable hit. Kids need an adult with them at the pool, sauna and plunges.

How far is Austin?

Forty minutes by country road, and about 45 minutes from the Austin airport. Most groups stay put once they arrive. If you're planning a night in town, book a driver both ways.

How does pricing and payment work for a group?

We send one quote based on group size, dates and how you're using the place, usually within 24 hours. A deposit holds your date. Payment goes on one card, so pick a point person and settle up between you.

Is the gym a real gym?

Yes. Two Eleiko squat racks, one with a Smith attachment and one with cable pulleys, a full set of dumbbells, kettlebells and slam balls, plus a cardio room and a studio for Pilates, yoga and meditation. Only your group uses it, and a personal trainer is available on request for serious lifters and first-timers alike.

Can my team actually work here?

Yes. The long table seats everyone, and the fitness barn and open spaces work for sessions and workshops. There's fast Wi-Fi in all four structures. There's no presentation screen, so bring a portable one if you need slides.

Is anyone on site?

Check-in is self-serve with a gate code, so the place is entirely yours. We live 20 minutes away and can be there quickly. A private chef and personal trainer are available on request.

Is there a minimum stay?

Two nights.
