We were here for the Spartan race and the property is just beautiful, we were so impressed. We did not stay or eat here but wanted to review just the outside, the land, the views, the staff - just everything was beautiful. If anyone is planning a trip or event, especially outside, this is the place. check out the other review for those who actually stayed here but just know, that ranch, from the winding hilly drive into it, right up to the front door is wonderful
This property was enormous and very well kept. I ran a Spartan race this past weekend and thoroughly enjoyed the scenery. I wish I could've visited inside the lodge, but time did not allow. I would like to go back!
The food and customer service from the staff is impeccable. World class staff all around the venue, from entrance to exit, this location and venue is not one to be missed.
The cabins are excellent to visit or to stay overnight, and the bedding is just beyond words.
Thank you...
We visited Rough Creek Lodge at the end of October for a corporate planning session. I booked the trip through Christy who then handed me over to Ty to finalize all of the details for the trip. To start, Ty was very easy to communicate with and easily accessible via email which is my preferred form of contact for these types of things. We had mulitple changes leading up to the event and Ty was quick to respond so we could work it out.
Upon arrival, our meeting room was ready to go just as requested. The food was amazing the entire stay (some of our group even deemed it "too fancy") and all waitstaff and bartenders were very accommodating. I cannot say enough about that view from the dining room (also have the same view from all guest rooms). The rolling hills are just gorgeous and seem to have no end. We did the golf challenge (some in our group really enjoyed, others thought it was "OK") and we rented 2 mules the second afternoon. I would highly recommend the mules - and don't be afraid to take them off the beaten path! Make sure you take them around the 6 mile trail to the lookout point that is marked on your map. It's a steep climb up the 133 steps, but the view is INCREDIBLE and absolutely worth it.
We will definitely consider Rough Creek for our next planning event.
I cannot talk about staying at the Lodge, but dining for lunch at my first visit was outstanding. Sitting by the large windows overlooking the lake was a treat, enhancing the experience of top notch service by the waiters (yes, I said plural, as there were two men seating us, then one for the food service). Each day has a new menu we were told, so can only rave about this particular day's menu, lots of choices, including quail. Dining room was large, so no one need to be on top of each other, the only minus was the loud speaker at a meeting upstairs, open to the dining room downstairs. Thankfully they stopped for lunch ! I will definitely be back for more dining options. Beautiful drive through the country side to get there is a plus as well.
