Why the Owner Chose Fort Worth
This is our primary home. We go to the ranch when we need to be there. We are on the road about a third of the time to go to horse shows and three of them are right across the street at the Will Rogers Coliseum. We live in Fort Worth full time APRIL, JULY and NOVEMBER/DECEMBER. Mama uses this home more than Papa as an escape from the country and as an art studio for some peace and quiet from the business, located in the cowboy capital, Stephenville, TEXAS, USA.
The Unique Benefits at this House
The fireworks and music from the Botanical Gardens can be seen and heard on summer nights. We have a great view from the front porch. Like to walk to the Kimbell Art Museum for their buffet lunch or to the Amon Carter or The Modern for an art exhibit. It is just so close to all the wonderful restaurants, the zoo, the shopping areas and cultural activities that we don't get in the country where our business is located.
Owner's Map of Fort Worth
We are a ranching family that raises horses, cows, buffalo, rodeo cowboys and state wrestling champions. We show cutting horses. Our trainer is a member of the National Cutting Horse Association Hall of Fame. We are AAA cutting horse judges. We have four children and five grand children.

Great Location

We stayed here a week and loved the location. Close to the cultural district, great restaurants, Trinity Park, and a great place to have friends and family to stop by and meet on the way to shopping, eating, etc. The home was clean, spacious, cozy and so much better than staying at a hotel. We plan on staying here again.
Recommended for:Families with teenagers, pet owners, sightseeing, age 55+, girls getaway, families with young children.
Felt like home

We recently stayed at this property over the Xmas holidays. We are relocated Texans visiting our family and this home was just perfect for our needs. It was clean and all the necessary amenities were available. I was able to cook family meals. It is in a quirky neighborhood but my son and I felt secure on our morning walks. It was a home away from home. I would highly recommend this property.
Owner response:It is so nice to have families stay at our home in Fort Worth. These people really had a great time and enjoyed the casual and comfortable lodging alternative. Seems like it was nice to come visit family and have room and time to visit with everyone.

Our family gathered to experience Fort Worth with cousins from Europe on their first visit to the US and Texas. This property not only suited our needs beautifully but added to the overall western experience. We were all delighted. For me, it was like stepping back in time for a visit to grandmother's house, except with flat screen television and an espresso machine. Ginny has decorated and supplied the house with caring thoughtfulness, and it is clear guests matter to her. We'll be back. And we'll tell our friends.
