This was really neat! We were right off of the town square. Surrounded by many historical sights within walking distance. A lot of restaurants in walking distance as well. Was within driving distance of everything to see in Glen Rose. We even ventured out to Dublin and Hico just to look around.

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!
