The Offsite Where Your Team Actually Stays
Set on 12 acres along the spring-fed San Marcos River in San Marcos, Texas, Melrose River Club is a boutique hotel built for groups who want to get out of the office without getting lost in logistics. Hold your strategy session in the morning, take the afternoon to the river, and close the day around a fire pit, then walk back to your cabin. With 42 cabins for up to 88 overnight guests, indoor meeting space with Wi-Fi and screen, and outdoor venues for the whole company, Melrose works for a leadership retreat of 12 or an all-hands of 150.
"We had our staff retreat party for Central Machine Works Brewery here (it was my second stay). Everyone is still talking about how beautiful this place is and how amazing the staff is! The owners, Max and Melodie, are such gems. I can't thank them enough for hosting us and we can't wait to come back." Katie W. ★★★★★

Spaces That Work as Hard as You Do
Move from a focused working session to a team dinner to a fireside nightcap without leaving the property.
The Clubhouse
(Meeting Room)
32 seated / 40 standing
Our indoor meeting space for strategy sessions and workshops. High-speed Wi-Fi, TV screen with HDMI and speaker system, folding tables, a full-fridge kitchenette, a private bathroom, and a covered deck for breakout conversations.
Pavilion & Outdoor Kitchen (Team Dinner) · 120 seated / 150 standing
Industrial pavilion with farmhouse tables, built-in sound and lighting, two open-fire Santa Maria grills, a catering island, and a food-truck pull-up spot. Use it for the all-hands dinner or a company cookout.
Event Lounge
(Breakout Room)
30 seated / 40 standing
A private indoor room with kitchenette, bar cart, serving table, bathroom, and patio. Use it for breakout groups, working lunches, or a hospitality suite.
The Grove (Team Building) · 80 seated / 200 standing
An oak-tree village with string lights, picnic tables, bocce, cornhole, and a big fire pit. Teams talk more freely here than in a conference room.
The Veranda
(Leadership Dinner)
16 seated / 25 standing
The home's original carport is now a covered alfresco dining room with farmhouse tables and oversized chandeliers. It seats an executive dinner or board meeting.
Lower River Park (Unplug) · 32 seated / 60 standing
The longest stretch of waterfront on property, with Adirondack chairs and a fire pit. Crack a cold one with colleagues, and ask about the drink canoe.
