THE LODGE
THE HUNT ENDS HERE.
THE TRIP DOESN'T.
Nine bedrooms. Chef-driven dining. A great room built for the long pour and the longer conversation. Built for the whole-ranch buyout. Your crew, your timeline, no compromises.
THE LODGE
STEP INSIDE BEFORE YOU ARRIVE.
A working luxury lodge built for serious trips. Hand-stitched leather, reclaimed wood, mesquite smoke on the air. Pull through the gate and the rest is handled. Meals, drinks, transport, the room you sleep in, the chair you settle into by the fire.
The great room, the bar, the long tables, the quiet corners. Scroll through the place your group takes over for the length of the trip.
LODGING AT VARA
PRIVATE BEDROOMS. WHOLE RANCH-PRIVACY.
Nine private bedrooms across two lodges, five of them en-suite, sleeping up to sixteen. From the two-bedroom Executive to single-king suites to a bunk-built deer camp. Every room finished to the same standard.
Book a single room or take the whole property. No shared lobby, no other guests in the building. The ranch runs around your group, your dates, your way.

BAYOU SUITE
Wood duck mounts. Trophy redfish and bass on the wall. The room pulls from the coastal water and bayou country that raised generations of Texas hunters. Without the mud, the mosquitoes, or the snakes.

THE DINING
WILD GAME. OPEN FIRE. REAL FOOD.
The kitchen runs as hard as the guides. No banquet trays. No buffet line. Just food that matches the day you just had.
THE TABLE
Fire-roasted venison. Exotic cuts seared to the edge. Fresh-caught fish on the table the same day. Breakfast before first light, lunch in the field when it makes sense, dinners that turn into the best part of the trip. Tell us about allergies, big appetites, or a bottle worth opening. We handle it.

THE BAR
Top-shelf bourbon. Ice-cold beer. Tequila that earns its place. Cocktails that finish a hunt. Pours stay generous, the fire stays lit. Tell us what you drink before you arrive and it'll be on the bar when you do.
SIGNATURE · THE LAST ROOM
VARA LAST LIGHT.
The late-night room. Golf simulator, pool table, gaming tables, gym, and a fully stocked bar. A fire still going at one in the morning. Open until the last person isn't.
GOLF SIMULATOR
Indoor range. Any course in the world. Practice the cut shot or settle a side bet before dinner.
POOL TABLE
Tournament-grade slate. Run the table or run your mouth. Both work after a good day in the field.
FULL BAR
Bourbon, tequila, beer, mixers, top-shelf staples. Pour yourself or have us do it. The bar doesn't close.
GYM
Real weights, real cardio. Earn the morning before the next sunrise. Or sweat out the night before.
GAMING TABLES
Poker, dominoes, blackjack, craps. The action starts when the dinner plates clear.
THE SPA
AFTER THE FIELD, THE
SLOW MORNING.
Sore shoulders. Tight backs. Miles in your legs. The spa works through it. Massage, recovery, and quiet between sessions.
Treatments by appointment, available year-round, added to your final bill. Tell us what you need and when. The therapist will be on the property.
A 20% gratuity is added to all spa services and goes directly to the therapist.
