Rough Creek Lodge

The Promenade essay

What it feels like to stay here

The Residences at Rough Creek Lodge form an exclusive community of owner-owned vacation homes set within the working ranch landscape outside Glen Rose, Texas. Several residences look directly onto Mallard Lake, with firepits, screened porches, and patios angled toward the water and the adjoining nature trail. Because the homes sit within walking distance of the lodge itself, guests reach the resort's amenities on foot rather than by car. Floor plans run from 1,976 to 2,431 square feet, sleeping roughly six to fifteen people depending on the house. Most contain three or four bedrooms with at least three full bathrooms, and several add bunk rooms that suit two families traveling together. Kitchens arrive fully furnished with dishes, glassware, pots, pans, utensils, and a coffee maker, and the appliances are luxury units. Interiors favor open-concept layouts that pair natural materials with bold architectural lines, a contemporary reading of the ranch's rustic character. Outside, each home has a grill, a private patio, and an outdoor fireplace or firepit. Residents of the R-series homes also receive a $150 per night dinner food credit for the restaurant, where Executive Chef Gerard Thompson leads the kitchen. Homes near the HOA pool and sport court give children somewhere to burn off an afternoon. Booking runs through the resort's own reservations: specific houses can be requested by phone, while online reservations are organized by floor plan. Guesthouse stays fall outside the standard package rates, though a custom package including meals can be arranged by calling for pricing.
