Family Trip

Our family of 6 stayed at this cabin 4 nights. It is right on the water, even closer than the pictures can show. I loved having my coffee and watching the geese swim by from the kitchen table. Our kids loved the tree swing and fort in the beautiful backyard. The house is right on a busy road, a block or two from Big Rocks, which had a lot of traffic. We walked to big rocks to swim. The house was very clean and had every amenity for us to use. The history of the house spurred us to go on a scavenger hunt for more homes built with petrified wood. Communication was easy and quick with our hosts.

Glen Rose vaca getaway

Some of the girls were not happy with the sheetings and the blankets. They were not fresh and clean. Could not find the thermostat Not all bathrooms had bath rugs outside of showers. Mold around one bathroom on shower. It was a beautiful location. Lights hanging on the porch was not working. We all had a wonderful and blessed time. My option is you cannot sleep 14 maybe 10.

Roomy, convenient, clean. The river was just a few steps from the house, and the yard was spacious. I took teenagers, but this is a great place for smaller children as well. The back and side yards are shady. I would definitely recommend this house for any age group or combination of ages.
