A Dream Come True

In the hustle and bustle of today’s world, sometimes finding peace is akin to finding buried treasure. Creating a place of inspiration and refreshment was a dream of Al & Tracie Denson’s, fully realized through Willowood Ranch in North Texas. Nestled on 352 acres of rustic tranquility, rolling hills and painted sunsets join with modern comforts to create an unforgettable experience. Al and Tracie bought the property in 2000, only a lone ranch house sat on the vast landscape. Today, spacious guesthouses can sleep up to 50 people. A 4,000 square foot reception hall is more than enough space to receive 300+ guests at round table seating. Attached to the hall is a full-size commercial kitchen for the artistry of the exclusive, award-winning chef, Robert Aranson, to flourish and create the perfect meal for any event. Yet the pinnacle of the ranch experience is undoubtedly the custom-built chapel.

“If you’re looking for a place to have the perfect wedding, with cabins on site to accommodate your guests and wedding party …this is the place! We enjoyed 3 wonderful days with our family at the Ranch house. Perfect for entertaining guests of all ages. The chapel is beautiful and the staff was great. I would recommend Willowood Ranch for anyone getting married!“

“This “Place of Peace” is totally unbelievable—off the charts terrific! My times there have been so important and valuable in the restoration of my soul and for the filling of my metaphorical cup to return to my own little world and achieve things I had previously been too tired, burned out, or afraid to attempt. Huge thanks to the owners and staff of Willowood Ranch for caring so lovingly for this land and everything on and about it so that we, the visitors to Willowood Ranch, can find a new lease on life. MAJOR high-fives!”

“One of the most incredible places I’ve ever been! The grounds are beautiful, lodging exactly what you’d hope it’d be, and the chapel, a place like no other! We have been there for a church retreat, and have gone back multiple times for a marriage retreat. I highly recommend this place. It’s a beautiful, peaceful place and really like no other!! If you get a chance to meet the owners, you’re better for it. They are extraordinary people!”
