THE LODGE
It's elegance with an edge. Comfort with killshots.
LODGING AT VARA
If the Ritz had a wild fling with a trophy room, Vara Ranch would be the unapologetic
love child—draped in antlers, soaked in whiskey, and wrapped in five-star Texas grit.
Just outside Houston, our lodge isn’t just a place to crash—it’s where hand-stitched leather meets reclaimed wood and the scent of mesquite smoke clings to the air like a damn badge of honor. You’ll feast like kings on rustic wild game dinners, knock back whiskey until the firepit starts telling stories, and wake up in sheets softer than an axis hide.
Corporate retreat? Family weekend? Boys' trip with zero filter?
Yeah—we’ve got space for all of it. But don’t expect quiet nights. We serve shots with dinner, pour doubles by the fire, and chase it all with cigars and stories you won’t tell your wives.
Vara Ranch is the kind of place where legends are made—loud, bold, and just a
little hungover.
THE SUITES
EXECUTIVE SUITE
Indulge in the finest Texas has to offer—Vara style.
Tucked away on the far side of the lodge, this private escape was built for those who lead from the front. Designed as a high-end hideaway for those who expect more than the standard lodge stay, the Executive Suite delivers peak comfort and privacy with two spacious bedrooms—one with a king, the other with a queen—and a large, well-appointed bathroom. It’s where you recharge, reset, and rise ready to own whatever the next hunt throws your way.

AFRICAN SUITE
No need to dodge lions, pop malaria pills, or endure a 15-hour flight—we’ve brought Africa to Texas, and we did it with grit. This suite hits like a Dagga Boy charging through the bush: raw, powerful, and unforgettable. Trophy shoulder mounts line the walls and the décor is pulled straight from our own dust-covered safari tales.
It’s wild. It’s primal. But don’t get it twisted—it’s pure luxury. Welcome to the African Suite. Danger sold separately.

BAYOU ROOM
Nodding to the wild waters of Buffalo Bayou just down the road in Houston, this room brings the swamp vibe—minus the mud and mosquitoes. You’ll be in good company with wood duck mounts, trophy fish, and touches of local wildlife throughout. Don’t worry, this swamp’s high and dry!
Built for kicking back in comfort after a full-throttle day of chasing game and ripping lines.

SOUTH TEXAS SUITE
There’s no place like South Texas—rugged, raw, and rich in hunting heritage. This suite pays tribute to that legacy with authentic décor inspired by mesquite flats, brush country, and the wild heartbeat of the region. Wooded accents and heavyweight whitetail mounts bring the outdoors in, wrapping you in the spirit of the hunt.
It’s more than a room—it’s a tribute to the land where whitetail legends are born.

THE DINING
WILD. FIRED. UNFORGETTABLE.
This isn’t some dainty five-course ballet—it’s a primal, fire-kissed feast that hits hard and eats like a trophy earned. At Vara Ranch, we serve wild game the way it was meant to be: bold, rich, and straight from the land. Venison so tender it barely holds together, exotic cuts seared to perfection, and fish so fresh it was still fighting this morning.
Every plate tells a story.
Every bite brings you back to the hunt.
This is rustic cuisine turned savage luxury.
BOTTOMS UP!
This ain’t your average lodge bar—it’s where stories get louder, whiskey gets poured heavier, and the fire never dies. After a day in the field, belly up for a damn good drink.
From top-shelf bourbon and ice-cold beer to signature cocktails with a kick, we’ve got the fuel to toast your triumphs—or forget your misses.
Rustic grit. Refined pour.
One hell of a way to end the day.
