Event Venue! Lodge is perfect for every occasion! Just 20 minutes from Austin and a little over an hour from San Antonio. Experience the charm and tranquility of the Texas Hill Country, a ten acre, scenic venue for weddings, reunions, retreats, special occasions, corporate events and weekend getaways with overnight lodging. Originally part of a 4,000 acre hunting ranch, the Lodge began in the 1950s as the Onion Creek Lodge, owned by Cecil Ruby. It became a favorite retreat for Texans seeking rest, barbacue and the outdoors. Cecil Ruby, childhood friend of President Lyndon B Johnson, often hosted President Johnson at the Lodge. A guest room was even named the "LBJ Room". Throughout the 1950s, dignitaries and State leaders regularly visited to enjoy the Hill Country hospitality. It was rebuilt with heart the same year after a fire destroyed the original building in 1986. The current main building was completed in July 1986 and continues to host many celebrations. Lodge features a full commercial kitchen, wood burning fireplace, indoor and outdoor dining and reception areas. Six bedrooms (4 rooms with double beds; 2 primary rooms with ensuite) plus a log-cabin tucked in the woods provide ample overnight lodging for attendees. Flooring and beams are all Texas-made products. Upstairs of the second building, there are two lodging units, possibly for a groundskeeper or on-site office. A second potential kitchen space and a "dressing room" are located in the second building. Discover the beauty! Business and customer database to be sold separately.
