The location of the home was perfect, so close to downtown and a 5-10 minute drive to the outdoor activities on our itinerary--Dinosaur Valley State Park, Fossil Rim and Dinosaur World. The peaceful and well-maintained backyard with right-on-the-river views was perfect for relaxing after our busy days. Our only regret was that we didn't book at least one more day.

What a wonderful place to stay! My husband and I enjoyed a two night visit without young adult children who loved floating the Peluxy River right off the back patio. Walkable to everything we needed! The home is warm and inviting and had all of the amenities needed. Thank you, Heather, for your hospitality.

It was close to the square and the Community Center where our reunion is help. It’s so relaxing to start your day looking at the river and ending the day looking at the river. Thank you for your hospitality.

Great Little House

We visited Glen Rose this past weekend with our infant, 6 year old, and 14 year old. My parents popped in also (in their 70s) and we all LOVED the house. The location is so close to town, Big Rocks, Dinosaur Valley State Park, Fossil Rim, and cute downtown restaurants. We loved the patio on the water and the ability to fish. We look forward to coming again in the fall. Thank you for a wonderful weekend.

Hidden Gem in Glen Rose

Our family came to Glen Rose to explore Dinosaur Valley State Park, and this property could not have been better situated for that. The park is only a 10 minute drive away, and restaurants and shops are within walking distance The riverside cottage is well appointed, clean, and comfortable. The only downside is the traffic noise from the road, but we were so tired from our day of hiking, that didn't really matter! Thank you for a wonderful stay.

River house

Our family had a fantastic time The river was beautiful and the yard was wonderful. The house was very spacious and the beds and pillows were exceptional. The only negative was that the housekeeper did not sweep floors or dust anything. The host was very friendly and available.

Wedding Stay

The property is very well kept. The house is precious, spacious and clean. The lighting is amazing. If I had to put any negative it would be the noise from the light traffic in front of the house, the front room could hear the cars going by during the night. But it was manageable. Great place - would stay again in a heartbeat!! Thank you for everything!!
