About this property
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 were there for our daughter's wedding. We had the rehearsal dinner at the home. Excellent location, well stocked, great time. Highly recommend the host and the total experience.
We were close to a the wedding venue so it was perfect for us. Allowed all of us to stay together from all parts of the country with room for everyone. Definitely recommend!
We enjoyed every moment of our stay. The house was beautiful, clean, and very welcoming. Our family had so much fun fishing during the day followed by a family dinner that accommodated all 11 of us. Looking forward to booking again in the summer time
We had a great weekend! The house and property are beautiful! I loved all of the decor! The property management was great too! I highly recommend this property! Very peaceful! This was the perfect place to stay for my friends and family.
This home had everything we needed for our family gathering. Plenty of room to entertain in and around the kitchen and bar area. All of the bedrooms were cozy and comfortable. A great country setting.
Our daughter got married at the Grand Ivory. This was a very beautiful and convenient place to stay. We relaxed an extra day after the bride and groom went on their way. Wonderful time!
If you are attending an event at the Grand Ivory then this property is PERFECT for you! It is so convenient to go back and forth from the venue and with 5 bedrooms it’s great for a large family.
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!
We celebrated our Mom’s 90th birthday. The home was beautiful and comfortable, and the kitchen was well stocked.
The setting was gorgeous! We weren’t able to use the pool and outdoor activities due to rain and cold weather, but we still enjoyed our stay immensely.
This beautiful house was the perfect place to have our wedding party stay for our sons wedding at Davis and Grey Farms! It had plenty of comfy beds for our family to sleep and also Beautifully decorated living room space to hangout and visit between activities ! The back is beautiful and a nice place to set outside! Love it all!
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!
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.
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 !
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!
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 booked this location for the convenience to The Grand Ivory for our son’s wedding. It was a beautiful home and nothing disappointed. The beds were great and the bunk beds worked well for the teens. The two master bedrooms made it perfect for our crew. Jane, the owner, was amazing and communicated well with us. My only regret is that we didn’t stay during the warm months to enjoy the pool. Highly recommend and would love to return for a girls weekend.
The perfect location to gather for my dads memorial service
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.
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.
For a family reunion of siblings attending a nephew's wedding at The Grand Ivory, Cross Creek Ranch & Retreat was the ideal location. The host, Jane, responded to our inquiries before we arrived and continued communicating with us all during the process.
The large home is well-decorated with luxury bed linens and towels. With 11 in our group, we fit around the custom-built dining table. A long wooden board supplied was ideal for our lunch charcuterie grazing buffet! Jane provided farm-fresh eggs for our arrival, which prompted us to have a good country breakfast the next morning!
Everyone loved swimming and playing in the pool, as well as fishing from the well-stocked ponds. On the immaculate Ranch grounds, there are plenty of activities for your whole group.
We all highly recommend this property!
Our annual Family Vacation was a great success and the Luxury Ranch Retreat was the perfect location! Loved the pool, fishing lake and huge dining room table. Our host was so helpful and quick to respond to our questions. Highly recommend this beautiful country stay.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. There was plenty of room to spread out and we even got to swim in the awesome pool and catch some bass and blue gill in the ponds. Jane was very accommodating and we will stay here again.
We used this property for a small church group retreat and found it just perfect for our needs! Many thanks to our wonderful hosts for being so accommodating. Had an incredible time!
