Cowboys invented the handlebar mustache so they'd always have somewhere to hang their hat. Save yourself the grooming time and hang your Stetson at the stately Rough Creek Lodge & Resort in Glen Rose with today's Groupon: for $310, you get a one-night stay for two with breakfast and a three-course dinner (up to a $620 value). Choose from the following dates:

• Monday, January 3
• Friday, January 14
• Sunday, January 23

The Rough Creek Lodge & Resort balances glamour and nature to create a rustic resort where you can pamper yourself in between adventurous treks through wild landscape. The resort's range of 80 included activities lets gung-ho getters-away express their disdain for gravity on a bungee trampoline, drive cattle in authentic cowboy style, splatter enemies in paintball, hunt varmints, be hunted by varmints, or zoom down the 675-foot zip line. If you're more in the mood to slow down, take a leisurely walk along the 5-mile nature trail, do a little dockside catch-and-release fishing, or engage in a laidback round of disc golf.

Rough Creek's one-night getaway package shelters guests in a deluxe guestroom complete with one king-sized or two queen-sized beds, a private balcony overlooking Mallard Lake, and a plush bathroom with a deep-soaking tub and separate marble shower for washing statue-spouses. A three-course dinner and breakfast at the lodge's modern American restaurant bookends your stay with a rotating roster of seasonal creations such as grilled Texas quail with parmesan-cheese grits or pan-roasted Tasmanian salmon with fingerling potatoes.

• The staff was very friendly and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and fun. – LindaCoushatta, TripAdvisor
• There is no roughing it here; instead, feast on Gerard Thompson’s inventive Texas cuisine, including sherry maple-glazed Texas quail, porcini mushroom-crusted salmon, or three peppercorn-crusted filet of beef. – D
