Luxury Ranch Retreat on 100+ Acres Near Dallas w/ Pool & Lake Access

Welcome to Cross Creek Ranch & Retreat — our family’s dream getaway, now yours to enjoy.
Set on over 100 private acres just one hour north of Dallas, this countryside estate was lovingly created by our family as a place to reconnect, recharge, and celebrate life’s most meaningful moments. We’re honored to share it with guests who appreciate beauty, comfort, and time together in a peaceful, elevated setting.

Cross Creek Ranch blends rustic charm with thoughtful luxury. Whether you're attending a wedding nearby at The Grand Ivory or Bethel Rock, gathering with loved ones, or simply escaping the city for a breath of fresh air, this home invites you to slow down and savor every detail. Inside, you’ll find vaulted wood ceilings, a stone fireplace, and curated decor throughout. There are five private bedrooms with plush bedding and Tempurpedic mattresses, along with three spacious bathrooms — including a serene master suite with a soaking tub, sunset views, and two walk-in closets.

The kitchen is fully stocked and designed for gathering, with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a dining space for 12. The main living area offers a cozy space for movie nights with a 77” Sony OLED TV, and each bedroom features its own TV for winding down. High-speed WiFi is available throughout the home, along with a peaceful, tucked-away office nook — ideal for guests who work remotely or simply need to check in between moments of rest.

Step outside to experience the true magic of Cross Creek. The home is surrounded by rolling pastures and expansive views of the Texas sky, offering some of the most beautiful sunsets you’ll ever see. There are shaded loungers by the private pool, perfect for relaxing after a swim or enjoying a quiet afternoon. Just off the master bedroom, you’ll find a private porch with a swing overlooking the landscape — a peaceful spot for morning coffee, reading, or watching the sky change colors in the evening.

You’ll also have access to a stocked lake just a short walk from the house, perfect for fishing or kayaking (gear included). With so much open space, it's an ideal setting for bird watching, stargazing, and reconnecting with nature, far from the noise and stress of daily life.

We only open our calendar for a few select stays each month to ensure the home is always prepared and refreshed to the highest standard. Every visit is carefully readied with clean linens, stocked essentials, and thoughtful touches throughout — because we believe comfort is in the details.

Please note: this home is designed for rest and reconnection. We do not allow events or parties, and the maximum number of guests is 12. Pets are not permitted. This is a space we deeply care for, and we kindly ask that all guests treat it with the same love and respect that we do.

Cross Creek is more than a place to stay — it’s a place to feel at home. Whether you're kayaking at sunrise, cooking a shared meal, reading on the porch swing, or watching the stars come out at night, we hope you'll find the same peace, joy, and connection here that our family has for years. We can’t wait to welcome you.

Looking for more time to unwind?
Optional early check-in (2 PM) and late check-out (1 PM) are available for $200 each, upon request and pending availability. To ensure we maintain the highest standards, requests must be made in advance and are subject to availability.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful well appointed home. The house was very well stocked and the host was great with communicating The online description was exactly as stated. We rented the home to be close to the Grand Ivory for a family wedding. It was only a few minutes away from the venue just as described which made easy access back and forth. We also stayed a few days longer to enjoy the outdoors and a little fishing which was great. Would definitely go back and spend time here. Thanks !

This property was great for our family stay for a wedding weekend! The property and house was exactly as described and the owner was a joy to work with. I just wish we had booked another night or two to relax and decompress after all the wedding festivities. The next time I need a getaway weekend less than an hour from the DFW area, I will not hesitate to book this property again!

This home was a perfect retreat for our family to spend our son’s wedding weekend. The home was immaculate upon arrival and beautifully decorated. The beds were very comfortable and cozy. We enjoyed the beauty from the front and back porches. It was peaceful and relaxing to sit outside and enjoy the scenery while listening to the waterfall in the pool. The host was very responsive to any questions we had. In addition the home was 3 miles from our wedding venue the Grand Ivory.

We stayed that the Ranch for our son’s wedding. Our son’s wedding was about 20 mins away from the house. The process of getting checked in was easy and the house was just as described. The home owner was very good with communication. We had 1 small issue and she was on it. Very accommodating. I would highly recommend staying with at this house.

Being only 3 miles from the Grand Ivory makes this home the perfect choice for future wedding parties. Not only is the home beautiful, but also spacious and homey. For our family, location was key. Not having to travel 30-45 min back and forth allowed for quality family time.

The house and property was perfect. Plenty of room for all of us to spread out. The teenagers had a ball fishing and kayaking. Too cold to swim but loved laying by the pool with a book. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed and there were groceries available just a short drive down the road. The host was more than accommodating to all my questions as we were booking this from several states away.

Perfect getaway for us and the family. Good sized rooms and good size living room for the family to gather. It fit all of our family and kids. Pool was a good size for all the kids, they stayed in all day long. Any issue that we had, which was very minor, was answered and fixed right away. Great hosts!

Our family stayed here for a few days to celebrate my son's wedding at a local wedding venue. This home was absolutely a perfect get-away for our family to spend some quiet time together during the many wedding events. The home was so clean and extremely well stocked with anything we needed. The host was responsive to questions and an absolutely wonderful host - even leaving us a basket of fresh farm eggs. I would not hesitate to come here again and would highly recommend for large families - the large kitchen and living area was wonderful. We enjoyed our stay immensely!

We really enjoyed staying at this beautiful home. Jane the host was wonderful! She was very responsive to our small requests. The home was open which really facilitated conversation from kitchen to family room. The linens were luxury hotel quality, so nice. You could really entertain, there was an abundance of dishes and place settings. If we return to the area we would most certainly stay again.

This home was thought out, well planned and arranged for large gatherings. My husband and I met my daughter and son-in-law, their two adult children and spouses for another grandchild's wedding at The Grand Ivory. This home is only six minutes from that venue which was a big selling point!. The home has everything you might need for a gathering. We had a lovely time and Jane was such a great host.
