Wonderful Stay!

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!

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.

Great house and beautiful back yard on the river

We stayed here for a weekend getaway. My husband and father in law played golf two days at Squaw Valley. They loved the two courses there and we had a great time watching the kayaks and tubes float the river from the back yard. Very shady and peaceful. House is very nice.

Great location to enjoy all that Glen Rose has to offer.

We were 6 adults all over 65. We enjoyed the backyard and patio area. So pleasant and peaceful. The house was great and located in the heart of Glen Rose with easy access to all the local attractions. The bedrooms were comfortable and large. While we didn't use the kitchen, it was spacious and well equipped. The sitting area was comfortable with plenty of seating for us all. Overall, it was a great place and would definitely rent again.

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!!

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.

Bliss in "Mayberry"

The house on Barnard met our needs very well. The lovely setting on the river was a bonus, even though it was a bit chilly to be outside much. The town of Glen Rose was so quaint and the townsfolk so nice that we kept calling in Mayberry. The high school football team won their playoff while we were there; that, coupled with the Christmas spirit, made us feel like we were in a Hallmark movie!
