Mo-Ranch is the hidden gem that many vacationers across the Lone Star State and beyond are discovering for the first time. Spanning approximately 500 acres and sitting in Hunt, Texas, Mo-Ranch allows visitors to enjoy the outdoors in style and comfort. While this getaway destination is owned and operated by the Presbyterian Church, visitors from all walks of life stay and play at Mo-Ranch.
From hiking and biking, from the man-made catwalk and epic water slide to the beautiful, historical structures that dot the property, Mo-Ranch has fun and beauty to offer everyone. Sometimes groups come to celebrate family events, church groups gather to fellowship, or friends come to get away from fast-paced lives in order to slow down and enjoy nature. With such a rich history, it’s worth spending time perusing the architecture and revitalization projects conducted on many of the structures and antiques on site. With a dining hall, visitors have the delicious choice of group dining or private dining in one of the many options with private kitchens or campgrounds.

For slightly smaller groups, Mo-Ranch includes several apartment-style dormitories and casitas which can be booked per unit or in groups, depending on the size of the visiting group. With kitchens and living areas, there’s plenty of space to sleep, eat, and spend time with your comrades. Each is appointed a bit differently, and you might want to try a different space on your next trip. Many make Mo-Ranch a regular tradition.
Mo-Ranch also includes several cottages, which are more like homes for rent while you vacation. These are cozy and ready for couples, singles, families, and small groups. Each has a unique personality and name, including Chicken Roost, Gatehouse, and Pilot House, among others. Check out the deck and view on Chicken Roost!

For a more rustic, adventurous, and cost-effective stay, there are cabins that can accommodate up to eight people and campsites for up to three. Each comes with a space for a campfire, so just imagine the stories that could be told around that circle, and the s’mores to be eaten! The cabins offer beds, bunks, and picnic tables, all surrounded by the great outdoors.
While day passes are available to check out the waterfront, slide, catwalk, and hiking on the property, there’s so much more to see. Staying overnight or a few days allows you to enjoy the incredible natural beauty of Mo-Ranch at your leisure.
