Mo-Ranch Assembly

This is heaven on earth! The staff make you feel so welcome. Anything you need, they will do their best to provide it. The property is awesome. Beautiful views. Wonderful river with swimming and fishing. You will love this place.

I booked a group of ~45 people for 5 days with Mo. Rather a co-​worker of mine did and I took over the assignment about 1.5 months before the event. Kelli Crider, my contact there, was more than helpful getting me on track to take over the event. She responded to emails late at night and on the weekend when I was panicking over small stuff.
Downside: Zero cell signal. I have a Verizon iPhone 6 and a Sprint iPhone 6 and both got absolutely zero signal anywhere but the registration building.
Upside: Zero cell signal. My campers were able to disconnect. They couldn’t rely on their phones in social situations. They had to interact and the retreat, and all of them, are better for it.
The front desk ladies were so helpful. They consoled me when my charter bus driver was being a tool and mailed me the tool box I left there free of charge.
Before I left from my trip, I started negotiating for our event in 2016.
Great experience.

Our family has spent Thanksgiving at Mo Ranch for 17+ years. Great family tradition and great place for kids of all ages to run and play. My favorite memories are canoeing down the Guadalupe River. The food is great and scenery can’t be beat! Most importantly, we love to worship Jesus Christ here and marvel in the beauty of God’s creation.

Recently attended a wedding at Mo Ranch and had a great time. The staff were accommodating and nice during all of our interactions. The group stayed at the Nicolas House on the hill and the service was at the chapel on the hill. Very beautiful, lots of photo ops, great lighting and lots of room for people. The Nicolas house was really great and an interesting piece of architecture. Lots of accommodations for a big group. Not really any detractors. Views are great. People are friendly. Lots of activities to do on the grounds. Very pleased with the visit!

Went to Mo Ranch as a kid and always loved it. Recently had an opportunity to live it up as an adult. My professional organization used the large white rock cabin by the slide called the guest house, I believe. It was HUGE! I wish I had pictures from inside, but my phone was crapping out on me while I was there.
That’s one issue with this place, you’re in the middle of nowhere so you will not have the luxury of wifi unless you go to the main building and cell phones work very sporadically. If you have At&t it might work. I looked at it as a blessing while I was there though.
Back to the actual venue… the kitchen is huge as well and was great for everyone getting in there all together. They have lots of beds, space for hanging and visiting and many tables for dining. There is also a nice little table down by the river.
I was blessed to be with the organization and unfortunately do not know the fee, but it was a beauty.

Beautiful scenery at established Presbyterian retreat and conference center on the Guadalupe River. Also great for family reunions and other gatherings. Food @ The Wagon Wheel is filling and tasty. Wireless not great. Great for hiking or sitting with a glass of wine. The Manor House would be especially for family gatherings.

We went to Mo Ranch for a retreat for my fiancée’s military residency. There was a pretty large group of about 60 people, including a lot of kids, mostly below age 5.
This place is BEAUTIFUL! It reminded me of being back home in Virginia in the mountains. the scenery is amazing! Take a walk across one of the catwalks and get a great picture with a beautiful backdrop of the hills. I got to see a lot of the surrounding area outside the Ranch when I took a run early one morning, too.
Food was great… huge buffet set ups for breakfast and lunch with lots and LOTS to choose from! Baked Potato Bar and Cinnamon Buns? Um… YES! Most of our group headed into Kerrville for dinner so I can’t say anything about the Wagon Wheel Café, but they do have a place to eat dinner if you want to stay on-​site.
There is so much to do here recreation-wise…we took heavy advantage of the sand volleyball court but they also have tennis courts, kayaks, and a playground for the kids, as well as a big picnic area. We had a great time on the river sled/​slide thing and some of us that were crazier than others, played around on the rope swing over the river at 8:00am on a chilly October morning… let’s just say it was a bit more fun once it warmed up later in the afternoon. Our group was REALLY looking forward to their 3-​hour ropes course but unfortunately it was booked… there’s a $ 20 extra charge to do it but it looks like lots of fun and we hope to go back and do it soon.
We stayed in one of the hotel rooms at Pheasant Run, as did most of the group, but some did choose to stay in the cabins and said they were great. The rooms were small but not too small… we had two couples and a 3 month old + Pac N Play in ours and managed to get around just fine.
Great place for a large group retreat!
