Everything was wonderful. Cute place to stay. I wanted to cook for my son but was not aware that there was not an actual stove/oven. The directions on how to arrive at the home are a little confusing if you use a GPS. It tells you to turn right at the stop sign before the house when you should have gone straight just a little bit and there is the driveway on the right. Love the town of Glen Rose and all the decorated dinosaurs. So many places to eat. Wonderful atmosphere!!!

The property was clean, welcoming, and thoughtfully maintained. Its proximity to the river made it especially enjoyable, and I felt safe and at ease throughout my stay. It was a truly nice and restorative getaway.

My stay was fine, no real issues. The legs on both benches to the table in the kitchen are loose and wobbly. We didn’t trust to sit on them. If I ever stayed again I would bring a pillow and blanket. The pillows on the main bed are flat and the blanket was very thin. The place was clean but had cobwebs and the patio area is not maintained well. The table was dusty and the corners of the patio were covered in leaves. The river is across the street but there’s not much of a river view.

The location is prime! You can see the river from the back porch and on the weekends it is full of people having fun! Big rocks park has swimming and the kids couldn’t get enough of sliding down the dam into the water!
