The Pettit House

The Historic Pettit house, built in 1938, can comfortably accommodate up to 14 guests in rustic comfort. The Pettit house includes six bedrooms, five baths, a large living area, dining hall, kitchen, and game/recreation room. There is an adjacent two bedroom/one bath guest suite connected by a covered walk.

We only lease the Pettit house to a single group at a time. Our attempt is to give the group the "run of the ranch", without interference from other guests. We want friends or clients to enjoy the serenity of being together in the country, eating together and sitting in front of the fireplace in the evening together.  

The Pettit house is not fully staffed year round because of the limited  number of guests allowed to impact the property; therefore, staffing needs are dictated by the guest's requirements. Typically, the house is leased to a group for their weekend (3 - 4 days) use. Pricing varies according to the group size, needs and activities.

If you are an individual looking to hunt or fish with us, we prefer and will assist you with lodging nearby. Rough Creek Lodge is conveniently located next door and there are several hotels in nearby Glen Rose.

Typical ranch meals are served family style in the Pettit house dining room.  Main entrees include fried ranch catfish, grilled steaks and vegetable elk stew. This is a working ranch and we don't have time for soufflés or sissies.
