Glen Rose Road trip from DFW
The atmosphere was terrific, much better than a sterile hotel room. We walked a block to the Sexton mill and had a nice evening too.

Quaint small town getaway
This is a unique stay. Loved learning the history of the cabin. The bed was extremely comfortable and the owner goes above and beyond on thoughtful amenities. Highly recommend! Note for people who have stability issues, you have to be able to climb into the tub!

Log Cabin
This is a darling log cabin with interesting history. The owner has newspaper articles and paperwork authenticating the history. The museum across the way has many artifacts and antiques for your browsing. My husband and I loved walking the square, eating on the square and site seeing around the square.

Beautiful cabin and town
This was a beautiful cabin and location to stay at. Even with the cabin being directly off of the town square it was a very quite location. At night you get that nice small town feel. The property manager was also very friendly when communicating with them.

The cabin was super welcoming and so cute! The location is perfect. Its a quiet place. The porch has a rocker for 2 and its nice just to sit and take in the fresh air. The restaurant on the corner serves the best burgers we've had. Nice little stay for our family.
