gun, car, RV and motorbike club meetings, swap meets, expo's, horse riding ranch (get some real cowboys with shooting exhibitions and quickdraw/quickshot competitions), create a huge dam and stock it with fish, microchip special fish for prize winnings, big wedding centre, lots more cabins, 2-3 restaurants with different cuisines, but 1 must be tex-mex with a smoke bbq
corporate retreat lodges, corporate sensitivity, diversity and inclusion training retreat, get a gambling license and make a casino
parts of your land can be suburban skirmish with paintball, you can have actual suburban and rural combat fields for training cops, security or actors for action films, have actual filming locations with western buildings
@MichaelAnnable-gm8ku Says:
I agree with many, finish the RV area. Complete with water power and septic at each site.
Saw your previous video for the bathhouse. Looks Great! Don't forget a play area for young kids and something for the teens as well. And a large pavilion for Desperado resort events and or group use would be cool. Matt's birthday pancake breakfast!!!! LOL
@vizioax2 Says:
Maybe food truck to bring food in
@robertoromero8603 Says:
Start cabins and make it a shooting range with classes and people who buy classes can rent cabins…
@isaiahgaming3575 Says:
Cabins, admin building and venue all at once
@michaelpilla3543 Says:
Personally I wouldn’t want people at my Buisness wile it is under construction you don’t want the first peoples experience to be a consiste
@MsPrimeutube Says:
Work on the restaurant and the cabins together if its doable ...
@lauratower9873 Says:
Little petting farm
@ovlov245 Says:
What about a temporary mess hall like mines and Army have? Can be hidden a bit , take food to the guests o order. Saves any big spend on the expensive options.
@haleygorman5851 Says:
option 4 i think first. i think it would be helpful to have a home base ready for when you do decide what to do next. i think the cliff airbnbs are a great idea even with the kitchenette. you can still keep them even after a full resort. i think it’s good to have that option, just charge a little more.
@derekmonroe3691 Says:
Why all the worry about a restaurant? The cabins have kitchens. The Cliff condos have kitchens.
@country6589 Says:
Option 4 sounds like the best way. Think of it as a base of operations.
@vickiludmon7063 Says:
Definitely work on the admin building. Make it eye catching and functional. This will be a positive visual for the growing of the resort. I believe that is important for your positive thoughts and ideas for gr😊owing the ranch.
@MeaTWaD564 Says:
Restaurant with day use of some activities like hikes, range, and river sounds good
@natmaynard8769 Says:
Get the most expensive out of the way. That way it's not paying on yr mind after everything else

@StevenCouncell Says:
How about primitive/off grid camping spots? Don't have to be right down on the river or yards and yards off into the woods. Little spot in the corner of a pasture for a couple days would be diesel for a skoolie traveler like me and my rig can easily go two and a half to three weeks with the on board water and sewer. Something else, you need an RV dump station.
@XqeDiosxqe Says:
Food trucks and portable comfort stations ( bathrooms ) the nice ones....
@FishyBoi1337 Says:
AirBnBs on the cliff would be AMAZING. Just having somewhere to do home stuff away from home is nice, especially when it has nice views. I'd stay there, and our family has done it before! A small kitchen in a nice cabin in the middle of nowhere. No food, no amenities, nothin. Just the place was amazing
@ThrillerTheater Says:
First thing that popped into my head: Need to make this a Destination, a reason to go. Turn this journey to build this place into that reason. Let people come out to see the progress as you go along.
Option 4 makes the most sense: establish a central base. Draw up your vision for the space, break it up into phases. Your other options would be part of those Phases. Real estate people do this all the time. Phase 1: The beginning. Get the Admin building set up as your Phase 1/2 Base of Operations. Turn the laundry & gift shop space into a Kitchen / food prep / catering space. Find some local food businesses that might be willing to partner with you, or even on a rotation. Set up some outdoor areas for eating. Turn some of the office areas into eating space. Doesn't need to be big, just enough to feed guests. Doesn't need to be formal sit-down either. Have one room in the building as the Sales/Vision space, to show off the Grand Plan, different phases, what's coming, etc. Then work on getting some cabins ready, then the three story.
I think trying to preserve or incorporate some of the remaining stone structures would give the place character. Any large building/lodge you should make sure it has a view of the river. The dining room and or banquet room should have a picture window view. (or maybe outdoor dining deck)
The eclipse event shows the opportunity for you to create more events. Expand on that.
@chrismapley7513 Says:
Do reception and cabin and BBQ VENUE

Option 4
@DaVe-iSnOtHoMe.MaN.LemmingsWeB Says:
Huge side note. Rv campsites . Buttt $1 per 1$ INVEST IN STANDALONE SOLAR POWER. Texas has huge tax rebates an gettin 2 birds with 1 stone is better than no birds with all the ammo .
@LaurelSchaafsma Says:
You likely could have used the slab for a basketball court. Just a thought.
@germanmaria Says:
Option 3
@MorganAshford Says:
i mean if you start with the cabins why dont you make a grilling area so people can cook outside?
@tannerparesi8186 Says:
Work on the admin building an the cabins then get a few food trucks for the guests
@Mo-wv6ou Says:
Do the cabins or air bnbs with small kitchenettes. But make an outdoor communal undercover kitchen bbq area with plenty of amenities near the pool. Hiking paths, dirtbike tracks, mountain bike tracks,fishing pontoons, outdoor adventure playground for kids and an out door cinema.
Cheap, fun and totally doable.
@stephensmith3106 Says:
1 and 4, and call food trucks.
@silentcobra0543 Says:
Admin, then cabins, then get a food truck for now, As long as there's property to run around on that should keep people entertained enough.
@visionunblurred Says:
Turn the admin building temporarily into the admission building. Do the rv park area and the tiny cabins and rent space to some food trucks for the time being.
@kf5tqnkf5tqn36 Says:
4 with a twist: make it a temporary venue, then do the cabins -- there's likely to be more people like myself that would be interested in helping out with some of the work out there, but need somewhere to stay.
Oh, and you might send those broken cameras to Rossmann Repair Group in Austin. If anyone can fix them, it's Louis' talented team.
@justinweidemann751 Says:
Admin building first. Cabins next. Do weekends with maybe local bands and other mobile entertainment(mobile axe throwing, bags or other games). Have local food trucks rent spots on the ground from you until you have kitchen available. Have a tent bar and sell alcohol and merch. People can rent cabins to stay or maybe tent camping.
@timothywebb4101 Says:
Petting zoo for the kids!
@timothywebb4101 Says:
Entertainment horse back riding with stables. Make a lake and stock with fish. The gun range! Food, BBQ out doors kitchens, smoke house with a bar. Darts, axe throwing,. Go Gatlinburg Tennessee that town came from nothing. Go around the country and see what other places are doing for a venue.
@jakeaznar Says:
About the kitchens in the apartments I think it’s a good idea even if you do get a restaurant up and going some people might still want the option to cook themselves
@monicamoore3049 Says:
Seriously think you should look into work campers.
@alfonsourenajr.8574 Says:
Venue and cabins, venue to start it off and cabins so when you’re first going to open the venue they have like a bachelor’s or hangout area in the cabins
@giseled.1326 Says:
Are there Food Trucks available in the next town
Have a breakfast type truck in the morning
A lunch type truck around noon
A supper type food truck come around 5-6
That way you don’t have to worry about that till later
@user-kp2iv4cs5i Says:
Keep moving forward with camping sites. People come in self contained. Get a few Ranch Jeeps that have big flags on them that people can explore the property with them…they don’t leave the property. Fix up the AirBnB’s…quick build and people will always want to have the option of cooking their own food and not go to a restaurant 3times a day.
@user-tu6jq3pb2f Says:
I know of a Master Electrician 😂
@matthewcraig7925 Says:
Air BNB's They will always be useful/profitable. People know what they're renting and getting into. Obviously at first won't fetch the rental fee that they will as amenities are added.
@user-vr8zk8bc2e Says:
Hopefully my comment get ready by @OffTheRanch, I believe you should build a mini med room if someone gets shot god for bid quick equipment would be there while emt shows up
@coltonmcconathy2057 Says:
Admin building first
@agm6600 Says:
So there was no dirt or hay and the sheep brought all that in themselves? 😂
@user-ie6bm4fg6l Says:
campsites first, people can rent out campspaces while they fish and enjoy the nature and gun range. do the cabins and restaurant at the same time. Lets be honest the banquet place will be nice but even roped off lots of things in background you going to have to plan the rest of your construction around weddings and meetings because nobody wants an event with loud trucks and tractors going on in the background.
@pebbletv3693 Says:
Also if you have any questions about hospitality my husband and I work for a hotel. I’m a housekeeper and he’s maintenance .
@pebbletv3693 Says:
I feel like admin building… but keep the gift shop and make it into like a little mini store so people can buy food … also the airbnb sounds like a good plan as well
