About the host
Hosted by Cynthia and Aaron Whittaker

My husband and I are high-school sweethearts with two daughters. We built our forever home in Fort Worth, TX and enjoy the process from build to decorate. We love to travel as a couple and family. Our favorite place is FL beaches or CO mountains. I quit my job to host full time to spend time homeschooling our girls. This has been a family adventure and we've poured our whole hearts into making this a desirable experience for other families.
Why they chose this property
It's just a short 8 minute drive from the town square, restaurants and local entertainment. The drive is peaceful with farmlife and open green pastures. Nestled outside of the city limits, the property offers a serene vacation escape with rolling hills in the distance. On a clear night, you can look up and see the stars and listen to nature. If a storm rolls in, you can sit under one of the many porches and watch as you listen to the soothing sounds. There are plenty of great local places to eat and a variety of cuisines to choose from. With Dinosaur Valley State Park, Fossil Rim, and Dinosaur World near by, there are plenty of activities for entertainment. After a long day in the sun, you can cool off in the Paluxy River or grab ice cream at one of the locally owned spots.
