You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

10 acres with NO CLEANING FEES and fresh chicken eggs with your stay!

Come visit Walnut Springs and enjoy some peace and quiet in our small town retreat, with an amazing great room upstairs and a beautiful wraparound porch and back deck. Watch a Bosque county sunset on the back porch swings, and a hammock stand to enjoy your favorite book. Perfect for watching sunsets and seeing the wildlife stroll across the back 10 acres. Plan to have a bonfire in the 8 foot fire pit while you play a horseshoe tournament on our Horseshoe pits.
Glen Rose is only 15 minutes away, so it's close enough to get in the mix, but far enough to enjoy the serenity of the country life. There are several delicious new and old restaurants, a few small grocery stores, a liquor store, gas station a half mile up the road in town, so you can get your creature comforts!
We enjoy old stuff, vintage cars, and motorcycles, and we hope you can pick out the vintage touches throughout the house!! The bedrooms have been custom designed, and include the Americana room, and the Studio room. The kitchen table is an old motorcycle topped with a glass table top, and the kitchen island was constructed from bona-fide barn tin off of an old barn on the Chisholm Trail in Fort Worth, Texas! We hope you enjoy the little details as much as we enjoyed designing it!
There are also 2 vintage campers on-site for an additional fee! Each of them sleeps 2 comfortably, and one of them has a pull-out futon for a 3rd person. If you've got a larger group you'd like to host, reach out and let's put your retreat together!
There is an apartment built into a shipping container behind the pavilion in the back pasture where we live, and we are available for anything our renters may need, but we will not be in or around the house while it is rented. It is your space while you are here.

Some extras to choose from (let me know before or during your stay):
Request to have the property to yourself (no renters allowed in glampers on front of property): $50
Firewood delivery: $50
Deluxe Charcuterie Board from the local Board and Comb: $75
Laundry service (wash/dry/fold): $40 plus actual cost of laundromat ($6-$8/load)

Spring Break with the Grandkids

We had a great time this week. The grandkids had plenty of room to run around and they enjoyed the wide open space. The house was charming. You can tell that the owner really wants people to feel welcome. Plus fresh eggs! What more can you ask for. I completely recommend this property.

Relaxing Getaway

My girls, ages 6 and 7 had such a wonderful getaway. House was so cute, with so many eclectic touches. We loved the huge property, bonfires, and nothing but the sound of crickets each night. Super close to Glen Rose, so we spent our days exploring parks, museums and the surrounding areas, and our evenings relaxing and watching the beautiful sunsets. Property owners were lovely, and incredibly kind to my children, allowing them to play with their dogs and to see their chicken coup. We loved everything about this vacation and hope to be back again next year!

Country Getaway

Tailgate Ranch has an ideal location for traveling the northwest Texas area around Walnut Springs. We traveled to Glen Rose (less than 15 miles), over to Stephenville, up to Mineral Wells, and back to Walnut Springs. We found several state parks in which to hike and explore as well as parks within Glen Rose and Miineral Wells where we could enjoy a walk with the dogs. The house and area of Tailgate Ranch itself was perfect for us to be able to enjoy the country but have all the comfort of a lovely and well decorated home with what I would call a "biker/country/patriot" kind of vibe. We got to catch one sunset but had to deal with lots of rain (May is Texas rainiest month). However, that is what contributed to the beauty of the wildflowers everywhere (Indian Blanket galore!) and the green of trees and fields! It was gorgeous. We could not have asked for a more well stocked kitchen for cooking, large fridge, dishwasher etc. It is all there. Having the living room upstairs was a bit different for us. The view was very worth the climb. Loved the motorcycle dining table! There is a wonderful outdoor balcony, but the rain kept us inside mostly. The living area with large screen TV kept us entertained when we were not out exploring. A nice cozy couch to cuddle up on is there as well. We really enjoyed the cool breezes out on the wrap around porch and it gave a nice spot to sit even with the rain. Julia was excellent in her communication and a gracious host.

Great for the weekend

The property was great to stay at for a weekend trip. Sadly it was raining so we didnt get to use the hammock, the fire pit, or the horseshoe game outside. But with the number of board games Julia has it is easy to keep busy inside too. The house is super cute with lots of vintage touches. She has directions and labels and has thought of all the questions you could ask. Very thoughtful. The only issue we had was orginally the posting stated there was a hot tub which there is not. It was a big reason we booked but turned out we had a great time without it. The fresh eggs were a cute touch, thanks!

Peaceful stay w loads of activities

The ranch supplied a ton of activities to keep us occupied such as board games and music players. The massive property gave us a ton of space to let our dog run around. The top deck was very nice to enjoy the sunset with dinner. Julia was very prompt with replies and communication with us. I would certainly stay again!

Instead of listing what’s included, the listing should just say “bring cloths and food…we have the rest covered”!. Really does have more than you can think to bring. Julia is a great host and made us feel like we were staying at a friends house. Will 1000% be booking this place again. House is fun, creative and super clean!

The perfect mini family vacation!

We wanted to take a little family trip from Fort Worth for a couple days to explore a new area and have a comfortable place for our littlest to nap. We got to bring our dog, who loved the big property! Our son said he is definitely coming back! It was nice to be so close to town but also away from everything. The space was small but well thought out. I loved the eclectic, industrial vibe! We only saw the owner once and she was super friendly! The house was very well stocked.

Country Getaway

Perfect for 1 or 2 nights. We chose the location due to its proximity to the Dino Valley state park and local attractions. It is a clean and charming property good for families with children and pets. My only wish was that the large firepit didn't have debris wood piled in it. We did have a small chiminea but a medium sized firepit that could take firewood would have been perfect and a little mowing around the horse shoe pits to make it usable. Other than that the home was fully stocked and great to stay in. The hosts stayed nearby on property but were lovely and respected our privacy.

Great Spot in the Glen Rose Area!

I took my son to Tailgate River Ranch for his 5th Birthday because it was close in proximity to Dino Valley State Park and Fossil Rim. This property is great! The house is fun and eclectic, the communication from the owner was very clear and timely, all the amenities we'd need were included in the home and it had a great fire pit out back! My son (and I) had a great time staying there! I'd highly recommend!

Family Spring Break

Had a great few days at the TGR. Our 5 year old was in heaven. From the motorcycle table to the huge fire pit he was amazed by everything. We only ventured out twice and were in very close proximity to both destinations: Fossil Rim & Dinosaur Valley state park. Kitchen was impressively stocked. Family really enjoyed walking around the land and resting in the hammocks. Probably will come back when it’s just adults or when kids are a bit older- the stairs and table and decor are not really toddler friendly. Just meant we needed to spend more time outside exploring! Can’t beat that deck and Texas sunsets- Sad to leave!
