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.

My mother, siblings and their families, as well as mine needed a large place to stay for my nephews graduation! This location really fit the bill. My husband and brother-in-law were able to fish for giant bass. My mother, sister and I lounged by the pool. The kids all had a great time and explored the property. There was something for everyone to enjoy and spacious for all! Jane was very accommodating for our requests before, during and after our stay! Wish we could've stayed longer!

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.

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!

Jane and Will have a fabulous property. We were there to celebrate our 50 wedding anniversary with our kids and grandkids. The house is extremely well stocked in all areas. They have thought of every thing to make your stay comfortable. They provide plenty of beach towels as well as bath towels. There was a nice variety of spices, condiments and pantry items in the kitchen. Pool is very nice with plenty of floats/noodles and rafts to use. They have a nice assortment of games for the family to play. We used all the beds and everyone said they were comfortable which made for great sleeping at night. Jane was quick to respond with questions I had. Our family had a great time fishing and caught many good sized large mouth bass. We took our own rods/tackle -but there are a couple of rods that worked well for our nine y/o grandson. Two of our sons used the kayaks and had a great time fishing. The geese were fun to watch. The property overall is well maintained and in a peaceful area. Was nice to sit around the pool at night and see the stars. If you want a place to unwind with family -this is it!

Country home. Great fishing. Porch swing paradise. Pool was cool. Kitchen stocked. Grill works. Carport! Lots of pool toys and we added four super soaker guns to the mix. This the country. Don’t come here if you’re scared of bugs and spiders. Like I said it’s the country. Rules mentioned you could pre-approve extra guests. We asked and were denied. I would just suggest to take that out of info. Cupboards stocked with LOTS of glassware and dishes if you aren’t a paper plate vacationer. No shoes inside house. Floors are concrete and again there are bugs. So this is a struggle. King suite bed and full room mattresses very firm. I didn’t ask about other rooms. We look at reviews often and appreciate real reviews. And this house is one of the more expensive houses we’ve been in. We had a great time. It’s so peaceful. And the porch swing in the morning was amazing. Our boys caught and released a lot of fish in the front pond. Come and get unplugged. Internet and phone service was iffy.

The kitchen is so well stocked and a huge dining table made meals so nice. The beds, linens, and everything was so wonderful, would love to come back another time. The owner was super responsive and so nice to deal with. The house and property made a special weekend even better. Will plan to come back another time.

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 place was amazing! So nice, clean, over stocked and just truly relaxing. We want to come back soon and stay again with our friends. Our son got married at the Grand Ivory and this location was the best! The host was very easy to get a hold of and accommodating. Cannot recommend this place enough.

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.

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.

Country home. Great fishing. Porch swing paradise. Pool was cool. Kitchen stocked. Grill works. Carport! Lots of pool toys and we added four super soaker guns to the mix. This the country. Don’t come here if you’re scared of bugs and spiders. Like I said it’s the country. Rules mentioned you could pre-approve extra guests. We asked and were denied. I would just suggest to take that out of info. Cupboards stocked with LOTS of glassware and dishes if you aren’t a paper plate vacationer. No shoes inside house. Floors are concrete and again there are bugs. So this is a struggle. King suite bed and full room mattresses very firm. I didn’t ask about other rooms. We look at reviews often and appreciate real reviews. And this house is one of the more expensive houses we’ve been in. We had a great time. It’s so peaceful. And the porch swing in the morning was amazing. Our boys caught and released a lot of fish in the front pond. Come and get unplugged. Internet and phone service was iffy.

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 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.

The 100 acres is false advertising house sits on few acres & we were under nearconstant surveillance on a family compound & having cameras everywhere. We were being texted in real time about what we were doing by the host. Trash cans are a good hike from the house. They do offer kayaks for use in the pond which is cool but there are super strict rules concerning the pool use after the pond! To be up front we were a large group of 4 families with 4 older kids & several small children who co-sleep or sleep in pack-n-plays. When we booked we made the mistake of only reading the reviews & description. Several mention multiple families staying together & the description boasts 20 place settings for meals. We believed it was meant for larger groups. We missed the max capacity of 12. Genuine mistake but completely our fault! We never hid our guest count we genuinely didn't realize it was not meant to for large groups. We met her in person & explained our mistake & offered to pay more to accommodate the children instead she demanded we clean the house spotless & leave immediately. To avoid conflict we did. We were left out of state with small children to find a place to stay on super short notice because of her fear our children would break some nic-nacs. Host repetitively complained about past guests to us & seemed hold past grudges against us. She told us she believes children are "incredibly destructive" & that she has "too many valuable nic-nacs in the house for kids to be there"

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.

Jane and Will have a fabulous property. We were there to celebrate our 50 wedding anniversary with our kids and grandkids. The house is extremely well stocked in all areas. They have thought of every thing to make your stay comfortable. They provide plenty of beach towels as well as bath towels. There was a nice variety of spices, condiments and pantry items in the kitchen. Pool is very nice with plenty of floats/noodles and rafts to use. They have a nice assortment of games for the family to play. We used all the beds and everyone said they were comfortable which made for great sleeping at night. Jane was quick to respond with questions I had. Our family had a great time fishing and caught many good sized large mouth bass. We took our own rods/tackle -but there are a couple of rods that worked well for our nine y/o grandson. Two of our sons used the kayaks and had a great time fishing. The geese were fun to watch. The property overall is well maintained and in a peaceful area. Was nice to sit around the pool at night and see the stars. If you want a place to unwind with family -this is it!

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.

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.

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!

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.

My mother, siblings and their families, as well as mine needed a large place to stay for my nephews graduation! This location really fit the bill. My husband and brother-in-law were able to fish for giant bass. My mother, sister and I lounged by the pool. The kids all had a great time and explored the property. There was something for everyone to enjoy and spacious for all! Jane was very accommodating for our requests before, during and after our stay! Wish we could've stayed longer!

Jane and Will have a fabulous property. We were there to celebrate our 50 wedding anniversary with our kids and grandkids. The house is extremely well stocked in all areas. They have thought of every thing to make your stay comfortable. They provide plenty of beach towels as well as bath towels. There was a nice variety of spices, condiments and pantry items in the kitchen. Pool is very nice with plenty of floats/noodles and rafts to use. They have a nice assortment of games for the family to play. We used all the beds and everyone said they were comfortable which made for great sleeping at night. Jane was quick to respond with questions I had. Our family had a great time fishing and caught many good sized large mouth bass. We took our own rods/tackle -but there are a couple of rods that worked well for our nine y/o grandson. Two of our sons used the kayaks and had a great time fishing. The geese were fun to watch. The property overall is well maintained and in a peaceful area. Was nice to sit around the pool at night and see the stars. If you want a place to unwind with family -this is it!

The kitchen has everything we needed , bathrooms well stocked as well. It’s a beautiful home and we enjoyed it very much. Jane is a gracious host who answered all of our questions and made experience extra special.I might also mention the beds are comfortable which was a big plus for me.Mary Braswell
