Inspiration Point is often enjoyed as a delightful girl friends' getaway in a luxurious country home away from home. Or, many find it a perfect setting for an intimate couples retreat. Families with children come to enjoy the river from sun-up to sun-down. In the evenings you are still 'at the river' in luxury, peace and quiet. The large covered deck with hot tub, outdoor fireplace, gas and smoker grills offers an out-door experience for you and your family -- under the stars while having all the comforts of home in comfortable king-size beds. Renters must be 25 years or older. Your dogs are welcomed but you must notify the property manager and there is a one time fee per dog of $25.
Bring your boat or jet ski! If your family, or that special someone, loves boating, fishing or, skiing or just enjoys basking in the Texas sun, you'll be 5 minutes from Hamm Creek Park and boat launch on the Brazos River. Our property allows for easy boat parking, too.
Spend a couple nights or a week or two.
If you allow yourself the luxury of time, Inspiration Point will melt away all traces of stress as you relish each moment gazing from high above, over hundreds of acres of green space, farm land and Texas mesas surrounding the Brazos River.
And, oh my, the opportunity for spectacular sunrises and sunsets from the spacious covered deck will be the only reason to consider 'time' while at Inspiration Point. You will set your clock by the beauty that only nature can provide.
Our guests enjoy a fully furnished kitchen with an array of staples. Bring your own food and drink preferences and make yourselves at home. Prepare your meals in the kitchen or at the gas or smoker grills out on the covered deck. Eat at the dining table situated in front of the wall-of-windows, or take your meals out onto the lovely deck for a luxurious country picnic-in-the-sky.
If you can bear to pull yourselves away from Inspiration Point to look for other things to do, there are a variety of small towns just a short country drive away. Glen Rose, Texas offers an abundance of antiquing, unique restaurants, Fossil Rim Wildlife Park, Dinosaur Valley, and more. If you prefer a lake to the river, Lake Whitney and Lake Granbury are also a short drive from Inspiration Point. Another excellent choice would be to visit the historic town square in Granbury, Texas. Should you long for live theatre and think you're too far away from big city life to find such entertainment, set your worries to rest. The Plaza Theatre in Cleburne is a no-traffic, 25-minute country drive north of Inspiration Point.
Inspiration Point vacation home boasts a spectacular Texas Hill Country experience, and a totally unique ambience; all located unexpectedly close to Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas.
Come be inspired to just relax, read, play, or just ...BE, and breathe ...deeply.
Fine Print! I’ve had a couple of guests asked why I charge a refundable deposit in addition to the VRBO insurance. The insurance provided by VRBO is for damage only! The refundable deposit is for additional cleaning if required. I have managed Inspiration Point since 2013 and I have had to keep the full amount once and $25 of it twice for the cleaning service. If you have any questions please let me know! Karen

Everything was super! It was clean, had a well appointed kitchen and the deck was a perfect place to relax and unwind. It was a wonderful setting for our family holiday celebration!
We had a great weekend stay with friends. There is plenty of space for 6 adults whether sitting at the dining table, in the living room or outside on the deck.
Gorgeous location and beautiful home. Everything is in excellent condition and the property managers are the best. We keep coming back, it’s that great.
We enjoyed our long weekend getaway and the house is set up well for 3 couples. We loved the view from the patio and the host is wonderful and very responsive!!
This is the 4th time we’ve stayed here. It’s the perfect place for my friends and me to relax, play games, watch a movie, and just rest on that amazing back porch with the incredible view!
Such a great experience. We spent the whole time outside either in the hot tub or tables. Views were incredible and atmosphere perfect. Perfect weather as well. Would definitely stay again!
What a beautiful and comfortable property! While not easy to get to, the stunning views are well worth the effort. This is a pack your groceries, your favorite beverage, and just sit for a few days sort of place.
We love inspiration Point!! That view of the Brazos River valley from the huge back deck is just incredible!!
A cozy & comfortable space for time with friends.
Love having three bedrooms with king size beds for 3 couples!...& Excellent communication with Karen.

About the host
Hosted by Karen Eschliman, Property Manager
We're a family of long-time skiers and hunting, boating and nature enthusiasts. We have spent many vacations on the Brazos River north of Lake Whitney and not too far from our permanent home just south of the Dallas area. Everyone who visits is delightfully surprised by the stunning view, peaceful surroundings and simply inspiring experience. We hope you will make Inspiration Point your next vacation or retreat spot. Once you do, we know you will come back again, and again.
Why they chose this property
FIsherman's Paradise is situated just West of Rio Vista, TX with a view of the Brazos River. It’s less than a mile to Hamm Creek Park for fishing, boating, walking and picnics. It’s about 30 minutes north of Lake Whitney and Lake Granbury..
With a long career in general contracting of residential and commercial properties, we knew that this lovely river house known as Inspiration Point in Fisherman's Paradise, to be one of the most unique and beautiful places on the Brazos River.
What makes this property unique
Fisherman's Paradise is a little-known area in Johnson County, TX, just West of the small town of Rio Vista and about 30 minutes north of Lake Whitney. Our vacation home offers a gorgeous, country getaway or intimate retreat destination convenient to the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex.
Our property sits high on a hill overlooking the Brazos River and provides convenient access to the new Hamm Creek boat launch. In addition to boating and fishing activities offered by the river, we most enjoy the spectacular view and peacefulness surrounding us, especially from our porch. The property is lovely year round and is accented on some winter mornings (in addition to the beautiful sunrise) by a ribbon of fog running the curvature of the river with soft clouds hovering just above the valley creating a surreal experience that makes every sip of our morning coffee even more delicious.
