Cowboys and Angels Retreat

What Cowboys and Angels Retreat does

Cowboys and Angels Retreat is a privately held, founder-owned hospitality business operating a 50-acre high-fenced, gated wildlife ranch in Mountain Home, Texas, approximately 20 minutes northwest of Kerrville and 40 minutes west of Fredericksburg. Founded in 2017 by James Wright (a former Austin construction company owner) and co-owner Kelli, the property combines three revenue streams under one real estate asset: (1) nine individually themed western-style cabin rentals ranging from couples retreats to family lodges sleeping 2-8 guests, (2) 17+ RV campsites with full or partial hookups, and (3) an event venue featuring a 2,000 sq ft Party Barn, outdoor pavilion, performance stage, BYOB saloon (Moonshine's), and a restored 1940s wedding chapel, supported by six tiered wedding packages spanning elopements ($1,150) through 2-day weekend celebrations ($7,500).

The business runs on a direct-to-consumer hospitality model with a small operational team of 1-10 employees (owner James Wright, co-owner Kelli, caretaker Omar, and additional staff such as Steve). Booking is enabled through ResNexus, a third-party reservation engine integrated into the company website, supplemented by distribution across major OTAs including Airbnb (6-year Super Host), Booking.com (Preferred Plus Host), Expedia, TripAdvisor, Yelp, and Hipcamp (Star Host). Pricing follows a unit-pricing, pay-as-you-go cadence with nightly, weekly, and monthly options for lodging; weddings are sold as bundled packages plus add-ons (e.g., Romance Package at $85).

Customer segments span four primary groups: couples seeking romantic Hill Country getaways, families and groups, RV travelers (including long-term "Winter Texans"), and wedding parties served via an integrated vendor ecosystem anchored by in-house coordinator Taylored Weddings and Events. The property differentiates through Bortle 3 dark sky conditions enabling naked-eye Milky Way viewing, free-roaming whitetail/axis/blackbuck deer, and a curated Texas western theming. The company reports no external funding, no parent entity, and operates exclusively within the Texas Hill Country domestic market.
