Our Story

Inspired by the legacy and grand stories of the ones that came before them, Arch Ray Resort earned its name by blending family names from Stephen and Sally Baxter – Archie and Ray. Our history comes from over 10 generations of Texas ranching.

Ray Ogle (Sally's side) once sold a ranch to become a part of Big Bend National Park. Even now, you can still visit Ogle Hot Springs and share a living piece of our legacy. Ogle Brewery invokes the spirit of West Texas, where everyone walks to their own beat.

S. A. Baxter (Steve's side and father) and his family have farmed and ranched for over six generations on the same property, tucked along the Colorado river, where they continue to do so to this day. S. A. Baxter, the hall-of-fame Original Rancher, was known for his horses and cows, and the Wagyu/Angus beef we serve at Arch Ray Restaurant still comes from those bloodlines. Steve's son-in-law, Weston McCoury, oversees operations today, which now include a vineyard of roughly 10 acres.

As we move into tomorrow, we take pride in knowing Ray and Archie's legacies will live on through Shane Archie Baxter and Savannah Ray McCoury, Arch Ray's next generation.

This Texas Hill Country resort is a destination for those longing to experience something authentic – a place where you can check your phone at the door, cast your worries aside, and create memories. Coming soon to the resort are an auditorium and hotel. Follow our social media channels and check back regularly for updates, additions, grand openings, and celebrations as we complete each additional phase of the resort.
We are a member of the Fredericksburg Chamber of Commerce and Texas Hill Country Winery Association.

Arch Ray Resort's Commitment to
Environmental Stewardship and Water Conservation

At Arch Ray Resort, our dedication to preserving the natural beauty and health of the Pedernales River is paramount. We understand the importance of clear, factual communication about our state-of-the-art wastewater treatment facilities and our efforts in water conservation. Here’s what we’re doing:

Arch Ray’s Wastewater Treatment Plan

Six generations…
One hundred thirty years…

It’s through careful preservation of the precious land acquired by our ancestors so many years ago that has given shape to the Baxter family’s story and the cherished heritage of a long-standing lineage of ranchers, farmers and vinters that have tended that land for the past thirteen decades.

As sixth-generation Texans, stewardship of this precious land that we call “home” is of the utmost importance. Taking care of the waterways and environment in which we operate is not only essential to our life’s work, but it is also intrinsically important to us as deeply-rooted Texans. Nurturing, rather than destroying, the health of the land that surrounds us is our top priority, as it has always been throughout the years.

Here at Arch Ray Resort, we are implementing important measures to ensure that we are not only meeting but, also, exceeding the State’s environmental standards for water treatment on the property, so that the surrounding lands and rivers will flourish for generations to come.
