All was great! I especially enjoyed the fishing. In an hour or 2 of fishing over 2 days, I had 5 catfish on. I landed the first one (3 or so lbs.). The 2nd one broke my leader, the 3rd pulled my snap swivel open. I saw every fish, they weren’t snags. I replaced snap swivel with barrel swivel and was pulling the 4th up to the lodge patio and my line snapped. Landed 5th one, (2-3 lbs.). On my 3rd day, I fished beaver pond and caught 20 or so very nice blue gills (most as big as my hand) in 1 1/2 hours and one large, feisty catfish. The conditions were less than ideal for fishing as it rained heavily the day before the weekend and water was a little cool and muddy. One can not, not catch fish at Lake Godstone.
A beautiful retreat. My niece had her wedding here and it was the perfect place to bring both sides of the family together to get to know one another. Great view, quiet, kid-friendly, great value.
My wife and I were tasked with find a place to hold an event for the Knights Templar of Texas, and we took a chance with Lake Godstone, and I praise the Lord that we did. This is the new home of the Knights Templar Retreat. Family friendly, a very welcoming staff, and more accommodations than you can shake a stick at. Everything was perfect!We are planning on hosting Leadership training, seminars, and more events at Lake Godstone. If you are looking for a retreat of any kind, business, church, or even a large family reunion, this is your spot, look no further!
A great getaway for family fun! My granddaughter throughly enjoyed the swimming area. Great place to fish too! The large gathering area is so much fun for a group to dine, visit and watch TV or play games. There's also many areas for privacy and quiet time. A wonderful place to go! Sept 2023
Thank you so much for having us. Beautiful location, great facilities, and Dom and Carol, the ranch hosts, are amazing. God was glorified and we can't wait to book for next year. Praise God for all the beauty and fun we experienced. May 2023
This was our 3rd church family retreat at Lake Godstone. Each year the attendance has grown, we had 42 adults and 25 children sign up this year. This year we reserved the entire campus, it worked out perfectly. Our days were filled with hiking, fishing, canoeing, swimming and enjoying the overall beauty of the ranch. We had an afternoon at the gun range for the adults while the kids were kept busy doing crafts in the lodge classroom. The nights were spent around the campfire on the dam after enjoying a hay ride through the trails. We finished it off with our church service Sunday morning. To make it easy we divide the meals amongst the families, the lodge was perfect for fixing and serving the food. Dom and Carol are excellent hosts and always there when we need them. And the communications from Jim were excellent. We've already reserved the campus for next year's event, and we are looking forward to returning again. April 2023
THANK YOU to Jim, Carol & Dom for everything you did to make our Christian Outdoor Ministry Cast & Blast a success! The ranch is GORGEOUS, our accommodations were great, and we'll definitely be back. All the best. April 2023
