Dawn

At first, there were two. Raymond L. Czichos and his wife, Madge, were building their dream. In 1946, a rock recreation room marked the beginning of 7A followed by five rock cottages in 1947. A decade later, a whole new atmosphere was created with the building of Pioneer Town as an attraction and entertainment place for young and old alike.

High Noon

On May 31, 2015 Wimberley, Texas and surrounding areas were devastated by a historical flood which left many families without their homes or belongings.

Lives were lost and rushing waters left damages that couldn’t be undone. 7A Resort, as it was known at the time, was no exception with numerous cabins washed away and many of the tall cypress trees on the river bank which provided share to guests and homes to nature’s beautiful creatures were swept away. As lucky as the resort was that no one was injured, much was lost that day. In February 2016, 70 years after the birth of 7A, the resort gained new ownership. With renovations and rebuilding, the legacy of 7A continues.

Dusk

7A Ranch is in its seventh decade as a family vacationland. From a secluded, sleepy village with only one paved road coming into town, to having four roads and a population of over 8,000, Wimberley has grown up quite a bit since 1946. Weekends and Market Days swell that number greatly, bringing in folks from all around.

Much has also changed a mile upriver at 7A Ranch. The seven acres has grown up to 142 and the five original cabins now is 19 plus two four-room units and three ten-room lodges. Opportunities abound and 7A Ranch will continue to grow its legacy as time continues to march on.

Each year new memories are made

As individuals, families and groups return again and again to experience the magic that originated in a tiny seven acres and the big dream of one family.
