About this property

Wake up with wild flowers and wildlife

This is a tiny home with many custom features, firepit outside, grill, pond within walking distance. Great escape from the city. We have wildlife daily. Deer galore!! However, we are only minutes from all the great activities Glen Rose has to offer. Stairs are steep as this is a tiny home. Lots of room outside for kids to come and be kids. The stars at night are nothing you get in the city. Catch and release in the pond
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

The host was very nice . The place was nice enough for the price. But I had 3 problems. 1st the internet password was not posted. About 10 text messages to the host and finally got it to work. 2nd the fold out loveseat was way past its usefulness! Luckily we found a inflatable bed in a closet and it was nice. 3rd and the most important! (The STAIRS) . Let me just tell you we are 3 old lifelong carpenters who have built hundreds of stairs. We decided that these are the worst built and the most unsafe stairs we have ever seen ! Who ever built those stairs absolutely did not know what they are doing. These stairs would not pass any kind of inspection. They need to be ripped out immediately and they need to get a professional to design and build a new safe set. It can be done.

Our stay was very nice. The location was very convenient for going to the local dinosaur attractions. The host was very nice and hospitable. The only problem with the stay was the rooms were located on the second floor and the bathroom is on the first floor, but this was more of a physical problem since getting older stairs are a little more difficult to traverse, and having to get up in the middle of the night to "go" was tricky. The host has donkeys and they made the trip very interesting, to say the least. The first day, they stood in the middle of the driveway like "Ye shall not pass" lol I got our scratched one of them behind the ears though and they moved out of the driveway. Honestly, we had a lot of fun on the trip, and I think the donkeys added to the experience.

Great location for our eclipse trip. We also saw many birds, fossils, and wildflowers galore. The witches steps up to the loft have an extra-large first step and will not be navigable by many with mobility concerns. Glen Rose is a beautiful area with many hidden gems.

Country quiet

Came to Glen Rose to work an outage. 72 hour weeks. All that I really needed was a place to do the essentials. Shower, shave and what not. This was perfect for me and a friend who was on night shift. Fed the donkeys carrots and the couple of guardian dogs treats. It reminded me of home. Enjoyed our stay.

Get away

This cabin is tiny, but it felt very spacious for my family of four. There is a cat on the property, twilight, who is very friendly, and was the kid’s favorite. There are also two dogs that bark time to time so a sound machine is definitely necessary. The stars were unbelievably beautiful! The pond was a puddle, nothing to fish in. The owners were really super sweet and helpful when we needed some vinegar for an ear infection. Overall, it was the perfect getaway from Dallas and close enough to activities, such as a Fossil in Rim and Dinosaur Valley.

Quick stay for business

My colleagues and I (three adults) stayed one night as were in Glen Rose for business. The location is remote but not too far from Glen Rose or activities in the area. It’s a nice unit with basic amenities for a quick stay. We would stay again if we planned another trip to the area. The only negative was the proximity of the unit to the dog run for the residence. There were two dogs barking late into the night. Nothing that was too obtrusive but anyone who is a light sleeper may have a hard time with some occasional noise. Also, you may hear the donkey braying early in the morning (which we found to be hilarious).

Cleanliness

The place was not cleaned very good. Stuff on the floor like it had not been swept. The freezer was disgusting. I cleaned it before I would put my things in. Like they say steps are very steep. I missed a stair and fell . But I loved the location. Very nice and relaxing. I liked their dogs I played with them. Overall nice but would not stay there again. Mostly cause of the stairs...

So sorry for your experience; unfortunately my regular cleaning person could not clean so I had to use a fill in. We take pride in the cleanliness and measures we do to disinfect; our deepest apologies

Tiny but perfectly suited our needs

Tammy was responsive and very nice. They replaced the TV on our first night but wasn't a bother for us. It was nice to meet her and her husband in person. The location is on the family's property and in the building next to their house. This also wasn't an issue for us. Due to COVID-19 all of the kids were home (high school and college students). Even so, there were no disturbances. The house was very clean and modern-chic. Full fridge and freezer, microwave and most importantly coffee maker! The property has a few dogs, chickens and met a cat (can't guarantee it's theirs). Great area to take a walk. As Tammy states in her description, the stairs to the bedrooms are STEE for those with knee issues.

Love the tiny house, but felt uncomfortable

I loved the tiny house. The description was spot on and location to surrounding tourist spots was amazing. The place was very clean and had towels, sheets, pillows, and blankets provided. If I’m being very picky, I would have liked more trash bags. We only had one trash bag but made do. I’m sure if I would have asked they would have given me another trash bag. In the property listing there is no mention of goats. It was however explained in the check in instructions provided the morning of arrival that there were three goats on the property and to shew them away from the 2nd gate. I had no problem with this however, sometimes the goats would make it through the gate regardless of what we tried. Often the goats were on the wrong side of the gate prior to me opening the gate. I was sent an email asking that I’m mindful of the goats. I do not feel it is my responsibility to make sure the goats don’t get through. As stated, I was very mindful and always did my very best. My 17 year old even tried to run the goats out the gate and fell and hurt himself very badly. We couldn’t get the goats out and spent almost 15 minutes trying when the female owner pulled up and said it was fine and not to worry. She was very nice but it was frustrating. Every time we were to leave through the gate I got very nervous and anxious, it was very uncomfortable. I accidentally drive down the wrong path trying to get to the tiny house and was immediately met with the male owner. I didn’t know who this was or why he just appeared so suddenly. I started backing up to go the right direction and was met again by the male owner who made me feel very uncomfortable. He asked why I was there. I explained that I went the wrong way by mistake but he didn’t seem to believe me. I was with my two sons and felt very uncomfortable. The property and tiny home are wonderful, but the goats and encounter with the male owner made me feel very uncomfortable.

Very Steep Stairs

The only issue we had was the stairs up to the bedrooms. They are VERY STEEP. It's not ideal for anyone that has bad knees or anyone that is short. I'm 5'3" and had to climb up the stairs on my hands & feet. Other than that this cabin is awesome.

Great Place

Enjoyed staying here. Very nice, peaceful, getaway. Cute, comfortable clean, place. However there were problems with accessing the property and communicating with the host. Weren’t sent checkin instructions prior to arrival. Entrance to the property required gate code which we did not know was needed until arrived there. Minimal cell service at the gate so was very difficult to contact host through the vrbo app. Message finally got through. Host answered we didn’t have reservation. Sent reservation id and then received gate code. Finally got in but still not clear communications with host about entering the rental unit. If pre arrival instructions and communication with host improves it’s a great place to stay.
