  • What Is Included When You Rent an Entire Ranch

    What Is Included When You Rent an Entire Ranch
    Oct 18 2026
    What is included when you rent an entire ranch? When your group reserves Dead Cat Ranch here in East Texas, all 1,200 private acres are yours — the whole property and the lodging — for your group and no one else. In this episode, I walk you through exactly how our whole-ranch model works so you can plan with real answers instead of guesswork. I'm Stacy Betts, and we proudly operate Dead Cat Ranch, a private group venue nestled in the picturesque landscape near Palestine, Texas. If you're an event planner, an HR leader, a family organizer, or a production coordinator comparing venues, this one is for you. We founded the ranch to share this place with others, and we plan every stay around how groups actually connect, recharge, and leave with a renewed perspective. Here's what we cover: what's included when you book — the lodging options like three cabins, two Airstreams, and the bunkhouse, all part of one package when you rent the whole property. I'll also explain what comes with the base rate — fishing, the pools, hot tubs, trails, and outdoor games — and what's available for an additional fee, like UTV/ATV rentals, horseback riding, shooting, and classes. How booking works, how a day event differs from an overnight stay, and the difference between having a corner of a shared venue versus having the entire place to yourselves. Whether you're planning a corporate retreat, a family reunion, a community gathering, a wellness retreat, or a film and photo production, you'll know what to ask and what to expect. And yes, you'll have reliable cell service in the main area, though it may be more limited in the remote sections. With us you have the freedom to tailor your stay to your group's preferences and set your own pace, and rejuvenation, connection with nature, creativity, and a fresh perspective are all part of the experience. When you're ready to talk through your group's dates and what the day could look like, give us a call at 903-372-0728. We'd love to help you plan it. Come out and relax, play, and stay at Dead Cat Ranch.

  • Film Location Rental Palestine Texas

    Film Location Rental Palestine Texas
    Oct 13 2026
    If you're searching for a film location rental in Palestine, Texas, here's the short answer: Dead Cat Ranch is a private 1,200-acre ranch venue in East Texas that one production rents in full — no other guests, no shared access, just your crew and the land. Good morning, good afternoon, y'all. I'm Stacy Betts, and in this episode we're talking directly to the film and photo production coordinators who are scouting East Texas and wondering whether the whole ranch is the right call for their shoot. Here's what we get into: why coordinators choose to rent the entire property instead of piecing together separate locations, and what that private footprint actually gives you on a production day. When your group rents the ranch, all of it is yours — 1,200 acres of pasture and wilderness, the Texas Hideaway Cabin, the Country Cottage, the Bunkhouse, and both the Hollywood and Hoosier Airstreams, all included for your crew to use. That means room to stage, room to sleep your team on-site, and the kind of unplugged East Texas backdrop that's hard to fake. Film productions, documentaries, commercials, and commercial photo shoots are the projects that energize us most, and we'd love to help yours come together. We're located near Palestine, in Anderson County, within reach of Tyler and the Texas State Railroad. If you're planning a shoot and want to talk through dates, access, and what's possible on the property, give us a call at 903-372-0728 and we'll walk through it together. Thank you for your time, sincerely. Come out and relax, play, and stay at Dead Cat Ranch.

  • The Man Who Started It All: Jerry Spencer's 40-Year Legacy

    The Man Who Started It All: Jerry Spencer's 40-Year Legacy
    Oct 6 2026
    If you're deciding whether you can trust the people behind a venue before you hand them your group's weekend, this one's for you. Good morning, good afternoon — I'm Stacy Betts, and today I'm sharing the story of the man who started it all: my dad, Jerry Spencer, who founded Dead Cat Ranch more than 40 years ago here in the beautiful landscape of East Texas. In this episode, you'll learn how one self-made man turned raw ranch land into 1,200 acres of wilderness and a place to truly unplug and slow down. I'll tell you about my dad — a Marine Corps Captain with quick wit, a lifelong love of learning, and a real head for business — and the reputation he built for mentorship and commitment to our community in Palestine and Anderson County. His favorite place in the world was this ranch, and the hospitality principles he lived by are the same ones we run on today: exceptional hospitality, respect, integrity, and always putting our guests first. You'll also hear about the name. There are many theories about how "Dead Cat Ranch" got its name, and I'll share the legend our ranch loves to tell — a story about respecting the land and treating others well. If you're planning a corporate retreat, a family reunion, a community group gathering, a film or photo production, or a wellness retreat for your whole group, I'd love to hear from you. Give us a call at 903-372-0728 and let's talk about your dates. Until then — come out and relax, play, and stay at Dead Cat Ranch.
