This was such a great experience for my family! We stayed for spring break and got to enjoy everything Glen Rose had to offer with being so centrally located to everything. This place was so clean and the backyard was gorgeous! We got to fish from the edge. Thanks for a great stay!

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.

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.

Relaxing

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.
