The Opossum Branch Cabin has some of the most magnificent panoramic views in Somervell County, Texas which is at the top of the hill country. Come relax, slow down, breathe country air and absorb the beautiful country views. Watch the sunset from the covered porch, throw some burgers on the BBQ grill and have a cookout in your picnic area or whip up some juicy steaks for a romantic dinner. Enjoy the scenery while you roam around your private, mostly wooded twelve acre sanctuary or maybe fire up the fire pit, enjoy some adult beverages and make some great memories (don’t forget the s’mores!) Our Cabin is absolutely perfect for a romantic getaway or for a small family wanting to spend quality time together.
The cabin has three bedrooms and two baths to accommodate six or less comfortably. It has central air and is fully equipped with complete kitchen, linens, and laundry facilities, large decks with grill, Smart TV, and Wi-Fi to make this most relaxing getaway you’ve ever had! There is no smoking in the house or on the porch, there are designated smoking areas near by.
The master suite offers a romantic queen size rustic iron bed and a large private bath. You will love the spacious living room with a large leather sofa, flat screen TV, large windows that open up to the magnificent views and provide plenty of natural sunlight that brightens up the whole room. Second bedroom has a very comfortable mission style queen bed while the third bedroom has two twin beds for the kid’s. Rover is welcome but please leave your cat at home.

We practice cleaning and disinfecting in accordance with CDC guidelines! safe!!

We also have boat and RV parking available on site.

Glen Rose is a small community with several good restaurants including four delicious Mexican restaurants and also what we think is the best BBQ anywhere. City of Granbury is a twenty minute drive and has many more culinary options.

We are 50 minutes from Fort Worth, TX, 80 minutes from Dallas, TX and DFW Airport, two hours from Austin.

Area Attractions: Fossil Rim Wildlife Center, Dinosaur Valley State Park, Glen Rose Paluxy River Walk, Dinosaur World, Barnard’s Mill Art Museum and Big Rocks Park. There are some cute shops and restaurants, antique stores, galleries, weekend farmer’s market on or near the Glen Rose Courthouse square, and don’t miss the pie shop. Great golf is available year round on five area golf courses including Squaw Valley Golf Club which is consistently rated as one of the top courses in Texas. Lots of sights to see and all are within a day's adventure. Also, great fishing (Striper, Bass, Catfish) in our nearby lakes (Lake Granbury and Whitney). You don't need to bring a pole, we will hook you up with a fishing guide who will provide everything you will need to land the big one while being chauffeured around a lake in a big comfortable boat. (Reservations required)

Paluxy River access is just a short walk down our road, a great place for photo ops or just cooling off in the warmer weather. There is a county park and picnic area on the river just a half mile from the cabin, out the gate and to the right follow the road to the low water river crossing at the bottom of the hill. One side of the river crossing is shallow with a few little holes you can sit in and cool off. The other side is knee deep at first and then drops off to about four foot deep or more. You can swim or fish there and maybe catch some small Perch. (Never let children play in stagnate pools of water) If you are going to drive down you will find a county park on the far side of the crossing where you can park.
Another option is Wheeler Branch Reservoir which is a better choice if the kids would like to catch fish, the reservoir has Perch, Bass and Catfish. They also have a picnic area, restrooms and a beach swim area. The reservoir is about ten minute drive and there is a small fee to enter.
The spring and fall climate is pure enjoyment and the winter climate is also mild. The winter temperature is usually in the 50-70 degree range. Our 'freeze spells' never last long. This is Texas, we can have a 40 degree day one day & a 70 degree the next! We rarely have snow and it melts quickly.
