    Second time here, we really like this place. It's clean, comfortable and the river is great place to fish and hang out.

    Spent 2 days and 3 nights at LHR for a large church group camp last week and the pace is huge! Just…read morea beautiful location. The scenery is lush and it's just so quiet and natural. There is something for everyone here, a beautiful lake and zip lining, paddle boats rope swing and kayaks. If that's not your thing you can swim in the pool or go to the club house game room or play shuffleboard and putt putt. There's several pavilions and dining halls and a stargazer path. :) The cabins were clean and inviting with nice cold air conditioning. :) Our cabin accommodated 5, but one slept on a twin mattress on the floor. The only thing that stunk was that our cabin was at the end of the hot water line and the sign in the bathroom said to let the water run for 10, yes 10 minutes for hot water. I loved the laundry facility onsite. The office staff and really everyone there was exceptionally friendly with that typical Texas hospitality. I don't know how expensive it was because the church paid for everything. But a simple call to the office would answer that for you. Great place for a family reunion or wedding. Loved it!!

    I recently stayed at the Lazy Hills Retreat for a wedding. I stayed in Room 6 on 09-20-19 to…read more09-22-19. This room has bed bugs. The infestation appears to be quite established and quite bad judging by the severity of the bites I have developed. We didn't discover the tell-tale rust colored spots and subsequently the bugs themselves until after we had already slept in the beds unfortunately. We spent the following 2 days decontaminating all of our belongings and ourselves before returning to our home.

    So to start: the Cafeteria food was pretty darn good. I can't believe I'm saying that. Maybe…read moreafter a day of activities it just tasted better. But I remember going to camp when I was a kid and we got spoiled milk. Like stringy and sour smelling as you poured it. And it was one dish for the entire table. Here it's buffet style. As much as you want. They accommodated for vegetarians. Like on hamburger day they had huge portobello mushrooms to make a shroom burger. Ice cream cups and bombsicles and my favorite Orange dreamsicles in their self serve fridge. Twice a week in the summer they had BBQ down by the river. I think some of the activities you gotta reserve in advance. Like way in advance. For example archery - 1 month in advance. They got zip line and ropes course too that probably require reservations. They're very modest courses. Like zip line is just one line. I think there's a critter museum with some of the local wildlife there (bugs etc). No reservation required for the canoes however. And there are some nice small rapids with natural water slides for young kids to enjoy as well as a free man made slide that looks kinda intense. If you put your feet in the river minnows will come up and nibble on them. Like a fish spa. And of course they have an iconic rope on the tree like all good camps have. Swimming pool is there for those who don't like the Guadalupe river (but river is super clean and you can see to the bottom). Accommodations were surprisingly decent. Clean. No bugs. Shampoo, bar soap and towels provided at least at the Flato lodge which were apartment style with nice little shares balcony with room next door. They have a small cafe on site with soda fountain ($20 tumbler gets you unlimited refills for the year). Little hiking trails. Several resident indoor chill cats who hang out at the various building like Mabee Building, their museum (ask for the key), etc. Mostly multiple church groups booking here at the same time but different facilities. The place is large. Despite being church groups some of the high school campers were dropping the F bomb left and right in the cafeteria. Actually heard some of the staff doing the same. Staff was all polite and are young international folks from various countries like Hungary, Spain, Australia, UK, Mexico and other places. Was a nice getaway and just what the doctor ordered.

    I want to start by responding to the review left by "S S" in 2021. Braun House at Mo Ranch was…read moreformerly staff housing, now converted to rental space. The advertising for it that I found online shows pics of all bedrooms and shows the beds, so I don't understand SS complaining about that. The high cost reflects the fact that you are renting the entire house (3 BR, two bath, laundry room, etc., sleeps 10. See https://www.moranch.org/stay-at-mo-ranch/group-lodging-at-mo-ranch/braun-house-mo-ranch/. )There are less expensive options at Mo. It's a valid complaint that the toilet and fridge weren't clean and that there were droppings. The charge of "unresponsive staff" is vague - does that mean she got nowhere with expressing her concerns to the front office? That hasn't been my experience. As far as being unaware that it's a "religious" site, it's a Presbyterian camp & conference center and there is absolutely no pushing of religion on any guest, ever. But I acknowledge that Air B&B or whoever posts it should note that it's part of a conference center property. Okay, here's my take. My family has stayed at Mo Ranch probably 15 times, for several days each time, on both church retreats and family reunions. There have been occasional glitches, which were resolved to our satisfaction. It is a wonderful place for families, with lots for kid to do. The Wynne/Flato lodge accommodations are as nice or nicer than many commercial hotels I've stayed at. We've stayed in both Pheasant Run and Wynne/Flato, which includes cafeteria-style meals, and barbecue by the river on Fridays in the summer; as well as the Guest Lodge by the river, where we had a kitchen and could prepare our own meals. It's a beautiful location with a great history. I'm sorry that "SS" didn't have the same good experience as most every other poster here did. Oh, and P.S.: we've been using the water slide since YEARS before they added the side rails! It is definitely safe.
