Peaceful country stay with fresh chicken eggs and kitty snuggles!

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):

Firewood delivery: $50
Deluxe Charcuterie Board from the local Board and Comb: $75

Comfortable place in the country

There were 3 of us in our party: myself, my mom, and teenage son. We were in the area for a family reunion. While we were not at the place for very long, it was enjoyable while we were there. The host has a funky but classy decor going throughout the home. I enjoyed looking at everything. It is obvious that she has recently remodeled the house since it has all the modern conveniences. It was clean and the beds were comfortable. I felt safe where the home was located and it was easy to find. There are only 2 bedrooms with Queen beds which were great for my mom and myself. My son slept on the couch in the living room. That was not the best situation based on the type of furniture that is in there. He would have been more comfortable if I had brought an air mattress for him. The way the house is laid out, the bedrooms are downstairs and the kitchen/living room is upstairs. There is a full bath downstairs that is located between both rooms (which I loved!). There is, also, another full bath upstairs. Both bathrooms are walk-in showers only which worked fine for us. Overall, great stay and I would definitely stay here again if back in the area.

We stayed at Tailgate Ranch while we explored the area around Glen Rose. The accommodations were fabulous and I would totally stay here again. It is in the perfect location. The sunsets on the back porch were breathtakingly beautiful.

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!

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!
