    We stayed here for a long weekend. Went to the pool and hot tub (adults only) which was great. The pool was a nice length for doing laps although it was quite chilly! On a Monday in April we were the only guests at the pool. On a Tuesday night we went to the restaurant. The food was delicious. We had the quail, steaks, eggplant and mozzarella and the chocolate molten cake. Everything was very well made and high quality. The service was attentive. My only complaint would be that the restaurant was freezing. We had to leave because it was so cold inside so bring a jacket!

    Spent two nights and three days here recently for a corporate retreat. This is a true off the grid (still have WiFi) experience to team build, relax or just do something different. The main lodge is like a hotel while cabins a drive away give more of a home experience. I stayed in Deer Run, which is a 3/3 with living, dining and game room. This was a group favorite with pool, shuffle board, fooseball, and ping pong. Every night ended with the whole team at our place for competitive gaming. Food was good, but it is structured. No menus per se. Breakfast is a good buffet while lunch and dinner are a three course offering with several options to choose from. The bar is nice for a wind down after a day of meetings, sporting clays, paintball or hunting various critters when in season. We did the Five Stand both days and had a great time. Meeting spaces are comfortable and have all you need for AV presentations. Give some serious thought to hosting your next company outing here.

    Rough Creek is a beautiful, sprawling property at the beginning of the Texas hill country. It is far from the noise of the DFW metroplex and is really quite relaxing. I was here as part of a corporate meeting as was fortunate to be spending "someone else's money" - because Rough Creek isn't afraid to make a profit out here. Positives: - the cabins are exquisite and I'm not sure I've slept on a more comfortable bed - meeting rooms are large, A/V set-ups are solid and this is a great place for a team-building type meeting. - Food & Service are solid - of the activities we loved the gun range, skeet shooting and bass fishing. - the Zip line is white knuckle fun and the climbing wall is first class. Watch-Outs: - as others have said the bar / restaurant adds a big service charge. My "Group" bar service charge was 23% - Ouch!! - also pay attention to billing as there seemed to be a few mystery charges that needed to be addressed. - the GPS scavenger hunt is fun but several of the stops could use an upgrade review. Many of these activities are better suited for younger kids. - Lol - why does the driving range have so many left-handed golf clubs? Overall - bring your $$$ for a fun stay at a beautiful location in the Texas Hill country.

    I cannot share enough about my amazing experience at Rough Creek Lodge. Our entire work department went on retreat Friday thru Saturday. From the conference experience, dining deliciousness, luxurious rooms, and fun activities, I left feeling refreshed and pampered. My friends and I enjoyed the GPS challenge and learned more about the various activities offered by Rough Creek. Our guide was knowledgeable and fun. I really got the feel of the grounds. I enjoyed zip lining and the rock wall with a few friends. There were not a lot of people there, so I was able to zip line twice and try my hand at the rock wall a few times as well. The food was included in our stay. I enjoy the food and the portions were extremely generous. Each meal left me more stuffed than the last. At night, the staff brought us out s'more kits for the fire. A nice touch. I cannot even begin to describe how Luxurious the rooms were. A separate shower and bath tub as well as double sinks made me feel pampered. The bed even had a body pillow. When I returned to Dallas, I told my hubby that we needed to plan our next vacation STAT.

    Rough Creek lodge 5 star rooms yea right!

    Terrible experience I understand things can happen like a busted pipe. But when your manager has no idea how to handle the situation you have an issue. We called as soon as it happened and the manager said no other rooms available so do you really want me to call maintenance. Well water was going everywhere. We sat in our room for 2:30 hours my wife and 2 small children listened to the busted pipe spray the room. Maintenance guy was really nice I know it was not his fault. But even he was not real sure how to fix it. Went to talk to the manager again cause now the room has no water at all and to fix the pipe they were going to have to tear down part of the wall. The manager really expected us to stay in a room with no water no toilet. This is ROUGH CREEK 5 star resort and I get to tell my kids to go to the bathroom in what a bucket. We had been there a few hours and in no way was that place a full capacity. We had been there many times and have seen it when it was full. Even the maintenance man was shocked by the managers behavior. Her tone was so un caring and truly just did not want to even help fix the situation.she said their were no other rooms. So my wife, 2 small children, and I had to leave the resort at midnight. My wife, my children and even the maintenance guy just had no idea why the manager did nothing.

    Twelve hungry Southwards (my family name) descended on this restaurant for Sunday brunch this weekend and despite all of our differences as a family, we all agreed that this brunch was outstanding (ahem, especially since Daddio paid for it :)! The buffet included lots of fresh, sweet fruit (including succulent blackberries, sweet strawberries and juicy pineapple), duck migas, biscuits n gravy, pancakes, eggs, bacon and sausage. But the best part was the made to order omelets with tons of fresh filling options like diced sweet peppers, spinach, shrooms, jalapenos, sausage, bacon, beef and chicken! But the best BEST part was the housemade cinnamon rolls that were not overly sweet, but were soft and gooey. Service was prompt and courteous despite my nieces' multiple requests for hot chocolate ("the best they've had", loaded with little marshmallows). The waitress did accidentally drop the check with my husband (we immediately broke out into a sweat) and after glancing at it, I would guess that the buffet is about $20-25 per person (no booze was offered but we did have several coffee drinks). The lodge and grounds are vast and very appealing. It caters to hunters and fishers so we did see several camo-ed folks at breakfast and heard gunshots while we toured the grounds. The pool looked nice as did the cabins, but from what I've heard, I probably couldn't afford a nite here. I mean, they had real cloth hand towels in the bathroom! No offense to my brother, but I think your sausage/egg casserole is a holiday tradition of the past! Hopefully this is our new Christmas brunch spot!

    There's no Rough to it! It's definitely comfortable & relaxing with a rustic sophistication. My family took me to Rough Creek Lodge for Mother's Day , and the food was Delicious, Plentiful and the Presentation was Beautiful! One of the most amazing fine dining experiences I've ever had. The restaurant overlooks a pretty lake and chances are, you will see deer, covey of quail, long horn or herds of buffalo out of the floor to ceiling windows in the dinning area. We've never stayed @ the lodge but, we've taken the tour. The rooms are gorgeous and large! The furnishings are high end rustic. The bathrooms have Claw Foot Tubs and marble floors. I highly recommend Rough Creek Lodge. We always look forward to our next visit and plan on staying next time! I agree w/ Tripp S., the environment @ Rough Creek is laid back and relaxing. Not like other Resorts we've visited with a plethora of activities.....sightseeing...etc. Just quiet and stress free. Nice Spa as well.

    We stumbled across this place online. I don't even know where to begin. Best vacation we've had in…read morea long time. We got so lucky to have a bunch of rain before our stay and the kids played in the creek all weekend, chasing frogs and crayfish. Waterfall was incredible. Cabin was super clean, with great amenities we didn't expect - just perfect. The owners were over the top sweet and even texted us pics of the kids playing in the creek. Of course we did the Fossil Rim trip and Dinosaur Valley stop while we were here. We will 100% make this an annual visit.

    We have stayed at these cabins for years now and never had any issues. However, we stayed last…read moreweekend and there was a terrible storm Sunday night that knocked out power to the entire town overnight.We spent an uncomfortable night without power (hot) and being woken by the beds creaking loudly every time someone moved (bathroom door squeaked as well). The storm damaged the roof and shingles were everywhere the next morning. I filled out and left a comment card the next morning letting them know that the night was not the best due to no electricity, etc and also mentioned my frustration with being charged extra for the kids (which had not occurred the last few years). I did suggest they add a backup generator. I was a little irritated as we spent $191 a night to be super uncomfortable and not sleep. However, I did not ask for a refund, include anything personal in my comments, or post anything online. We left the cabin that morning after making sure (by flashlight) that it was clean and we had all our belongings. As always, I made sure the dishes were done, trash taken out, and bundled all used linen in one spot. We left the cabin in good condition. At 3 that afternoon, I received an extremely disrespectful message stating that my comments on the card were "irrelevant" and that they had people waiting in line to book their cabins. The owners went on to state that I was being put on a list of people not to rent to ("...which only includes scammers and those who abuse our property"). Then they stated that the main mattress was ruined and soaked with urine. As we do have a 5 year old (who doesn't wet the bed at all usually, but hey I guess it could happen), I stated that we had no idea the mattress was wet but I did not argue and was willing to pay for mattress cleaning. HOWEVER, they went on to say that the cabin was left in "atrocious" condition and that they had to pay their cleaning lady 3x the normal cleaning cost due to the need for "heavy duty cleaning". This is when I realized something was terribly wrong. We left the cabin in very good condition with no known issues. I queried as to what was wrong with the cabin and was told that there were "stains everywhere, pee all over the bathroom, and then the soaked mattress". They even went on to say they had "never had a cabin left in this condition". I knew at this point that something was off. I asked for specifics on stains and the "liquid in the bathroom" and asked for pictures. I received no response. When we got home, I checked my 5 year old's pajamas and there was no urine or urine smell on them. I texted the owners back and inquired as to whether the damage sustained to the roof (shingles were everywhere!!) might have caused a leak which led to the ruined mattress, stains(??), and the liquid in the bathroom which they claimed was urine. I again received no response. I then stated that they make sure to charge my credit card for the damages separately as I would be disputing them...which I currently am. This is the most bizarre situation I have ever experienced. I can't decide if this is retaliation for the negative comment card or if they really did experience roof leakage (which they think is pee??!!). Not to mention the extreme rudeness and I professionalism of the texts zi was sent. Needless to say, this is our very last stay here.

    I'm constantly thinking about how I can get back here. This was the perfect getaway for me that was…read morerelatively close to the DFW and far enough where it felt like a different world. When driving up on the place, it looked underwhelming from the road, but once I was on the grounds I felt overwhelming peace. It was just the right size. You can walk a reasonable distance to amenities, but it's not a long walk to enjoy all they have to offer. There's a fitness room that has no rhyme or reason, but there's water fountain in there that I filled my bottle up with frequently, along with an ice machine. The bodega has drinks, medicine, snacks, and merch for purchase. I can imagine on the weekends they sell the alcohol, but being it was a Monday it was manned by cameras. The pool is stunning. Walking up on it is like a dream, and there's a hot tub as well. Pool towels nearby and a cooler along with nice seating along the pool. I loved walking down the main walkway because the speakers played music out of the speakers as you passed by (motion sensed). The cantina was lovely. Water and coffee were available all day, which maybe is the norm, or again, being there on a Monday was allowed (I'm fairly sure I was the only guest that day, so maybe they just like me be). There's outdoor seating area in the Casita, and a fire pit next to it. It appears to have a food truck as well, which I bet is open on the weekends when there's more than one guest. ;) My room was excellent. I love that they use non toxic cleaning products and the toiletries were also low tox. The rooms are so spacious, and refrigerator was high quality, and wow the sheets are soft and smooth. I enjoyed that everything was thought of - even when I thought there were no tissues, there were - just in the drawers! The windows and front door were great, along with the porch. The hotel room was perfectly designed, and the ambience was perfect. I was able to relax the moment I walked in. I loved the variety of herbal teas, which were yummy, and the coffee selection - I was so pleased with those. My kettle has calcium buildup and I texted the customer service line and within minutes they replied and sent someone to clean it out. I also forgot plates and plasticware, and they brought me some as well. Breakfast was continental. Muffins, bread, bagels, orange juice, milk, low sugar high protein yogurt, creamy butter, granola bars, and piping hot coffee and tea. I appreciated that they had gluten free bread. I already brought my own items since I'm GF/DF, but it was nice to enjoy their treats, too. Grounds keepers were doing an excellent job keeping the plants and grass up to a high standard. I walked the grounds enjoying the plant and the bugs they brought. It was peaceful and fun. Overall, even writing this review brings me joy. I loved this place so much and it was truly a luxurious experience where I enjoyed nature, solitude, rest, and a relaxed ambience across the grounds. I believe is an excellent spot for a solo trip (I didn't lock my door while I walked the grounds). I would love to make this a girls trip where moms can finally relax and take care of their own needs, and I'd also love to bring my spouse to break away from the demands of life and enjoy why we're married. This place was a dream and I can not wait to make my way back here sooner than later. If I were to be picky - my shower head was sporadic, I believe it also had calcium build up. Additionally, the toilet was uneven, so when I got up it shifted.

    This is a review I'm hesitant to write because I feel like I found a secret treasure and I…read moreselfishly don't want to share it! But La Palmilla blessed me so much, I want to bless them with a good review! I knew I wanted to return within the first hour of visiting! Grounds are beautiful, landscape, pool, chapel with stained glass windows, walking trails, kind staff and much more! There's no check in but the texting service was very prompt in answering all my questions and I didn't have any issues getting in and out of the gates. I felt safe the whole time! I grabbed lunch from the Baked bakery in town and ate at the pool. There's a mini fridge at the pool so I could keep food and drink cool while there! And the subtle Spanish guitar music playing everywhere was just the cherry on top. Definitely recommend!
