Escape to Venado Creek Ranch, a private East Texas retreat designed for relaxing, gathering, and enjoying the outdoors. The property features seven private cabins surrounded by peaceful woods and water, with accommodations for up to 16 overnight guests.

Each cabin includes a private bathroom, mini refrigerator, TV, Wi-Fi, climate control, coffee maker, personal BBQ grill, and convenient access to ranch amenities. Guests also have access to the fishing dock on our private trophy bass lake and the lodge's outdoor patio.

There's plenty to experience without ever leaving the ranch. Spend the day fishing our private trophy bass lakes, exploring scenic nature trails, watching native and exotic wildlife, or simply enjoying the quiet East Texas setting.

Want to make more of your stay? Add-on experiences include guided ATV ranch tours, skeet shooting, guided fishing on our private lakes, dinner prepared and served in the lodge, and three-meal packages.

Cabin rentals are customized to your group. You do not have to rent all 7 cabins. Cabins are $250–$325 per night with a two-night minimum.
