The rooms and lodge are furnished with original art work, antiques, and primitive Texas furniture. In the lodge, the large living room and dining room have wood burning fireplaces and in the loft is a cozy library.

Glen Rose, the county seat, is six miles east and has a quaint square with a beautifully restored courthouse. Also in the county is an outstanding 36 hole golf course and from June through October the widely acclaimed passion play "The Promise" is performed.
