A PEACEFUL ESCAPE

Meet the Owners

Back in 2017, James Wright was running an award-winning construction company in Austin, Texas. James had always envisioned creating a sanctuary where nature and comfort intertwined seamlessly. A true country boy at heart, he started dreaming about a gentler life away from the city’s hustle and bustle. While cruising through the beautiful Hill Country, he stumbled upon a charming piece of land for sale in Mountain Home, Texas and instantly fell in love with its rustic allure, picturing all the wonderful possibilities. Using his construction know-how and a wealth of creativity, he turned the property into the breathtaking Cowboys and Angels Retreat.

James carefully crafted an additional nine unique cabins, each bursting with its own rustic flair. Each cabin was meticulously designed to reflect the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape. He also set up several full hookup sites for RVs. This addition would ensure that visitors could experience both comfort and a taste of the great outdoors. His main goal was to help guests unwind from their hectic lives, so he added amenities like a refreshing pool, inviting hot tub, cozy covered pavilion, scenic nature paths, a fun saloon, a lively party barn, and even a little performance stage.


The icing on the cake was an adorable early 1900’s home he lovingly transformed into a charming Wedding Chapel. It quickly became a sought-after venue for couples looking to tie the knot in a picturesque setting. Whether you’re seeking solitude or celebration, it provides an idyllic backdrop for unforgettable moments.


Cowboys and Angels offers just about everything you could wish for a peaceful escape or a delightful gathering!


James is always full of ideas for enhancements – crushed granite pathways, lovely limestone details, charming Purple Martin birdhouses, and more! He has been thrilled to watch his dream slowly unfold and is always eager to explore new ways to make it even better!


James often shares his vision at local community events, inspiring others to embark on their own entrepreneurial journeys.
