A unique company deserves a unique corporate retreat, especially when they’re bringing together employees from all over the world. And that’s exactly what this international corporation got when they decided to host their gathering at BlissWood Bed and Breakfast.

Employees from Canada, Australia, France, and Houston journeyed to our 650-acre Cat Spring haven for three days of cooking, wine tasting, trapshooting, archery, tomahawk throwing, horseback riding, and more. And they did it all while competing on teams. Not a bad way to enjoy a corporate retreat.

Here are a few more pictures of their unique corporate retreat experience…

Yet, with all these forms of high-speed communication, we never get to sit down together and really talk.

Only in a calm, relaxed environment, away from the hustle and bustle of the big city, can we take the time to get to know the people we work with, learn their strengths and our own, and build a truly cohesive team.

That’s what corporate retreats are all about—stepping out of the office, relaxing with your coworkers and employees, and taking a good hard look at your business from an outside perspective. This is where new, ground-breaking ideas and stronger business teams are formed.

A World of Possibilities

No other place in the entire United States can offer you the fresh air and space you need for your corporate retreat than Texas—particularly in a place that’s away from the big city.

Imagine, for a moment, riding on horseback through rolling meadows and tall oak forests, across bubbling creeks and past serene ponds with the people you work with everyday, building stronger bonds through shared experiences that don’t involve client meetings and conference calls.

Maybe you would enjoy discussing the latest industry trends affecting your business while fishing for bass and catfish in a fully stocked pond, or building team cohesiveness by working cattle on a real Texas ranch.

On our Texas ranch, you can do it all:

• Horseback riding
• Archery
• Trapshooting
• Tomahawk/knife throwing
• Paddle boat/john boat racing
• Frisbee golfing
• Catfish and bass fishing
• Scavenger hunting
• Working cattle
• And more!

Every activity is designed to provide you with an opportunity to connect with your coworkers in a peaceful setting and focus on the goals that your team needs to accomplish.

Business Success at BlissWood B&B

Why not escape from the stress of the big city for awhile and reconnect with your coworkers? You will have a stronger, more formidable team because of it with new ideas and lower stress levels to take back to the office with you.

Let us help you design a custom package that caters to your next corporate retreat. We have detail-oriented event coordinators on hand to help with planning and to make your corporate retreat a fruitful success.

BlissWood Bed and Breakfast is a great place for brainstorming, team building, and having fun. Accommodations include 14 houses, cabins, and suites and plenty of open space on our 650-acre working ranch.

A couple of weeks ago, guests at our Texas Bed and Breakfast woke up to a frosty morning. It was a little early for a White Christmas, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t appreciated. One of the benefits to living in a warm climate is that you can greet the arrival of snow with a sincere smile.

It’s always a treat to be able to use our fireplaces, and this was one of those times. Smoke wafted out of many chimneys that weekend, giving a pleasant, woody fragrance to the air.

Our Houston area lodging was hosting a corporate retreat when the snows started to fall. The group proved they could be flexible, opting out of scheduled paddle boat races and enjoying indoor team building activities instead.

Balmy weather is back, but we are keeping firewood on hand, just in case.

Let your creativity blossom at this guest ranch

One advantage to having 650-acres is that there is a great deal of space to spread out and think. In light of this, our guest ranch near Houston is an ideal location for a corporate retreat. The next time you need to bring together members of your team, bring them here. Lodging is ample and private. The setting is comfortable and peaceful, which fosters creativity and allows you to focus on the task at hand. Nearby dining at our Cat Spring restaurant is top-notch, and we are centrally located near Houston, San Antonio and Austin.

In the past, Peter Linden of the Leadership Consulting Group, Inc, has brought several companies to this guest ranch for retreats: Haliburton, Gulf States Engineering, and Yemen LNG. The Leadership Consulting Group, Inc. works with business leaders to analyze their organization’s environment and needs. Their focus is “functional creativity,” whereby they “generate innovative solutions to workplace issues.” The retreats were productive, and enjoyed by all.

We welcome groups working with LCG, along with groups meeting independently. We can arrange team-building exercises like scavenger hunts, or recreational activities such as bass fishing, archery or frisbee golf to foster good-will among colleagues. If time permits, schedule a group trailride on the guest ranch. We hope you will consider us when it is time to schedule your next Houston area corporate retreat.
