About this property

Beautiful, unique ranch stay, with stellar sunsets, close to dining & music

Wake up to wide-open Texas skies, enjoy coffee on the porch as the sun rises, spend the day exploring Glen Rose, then return for breathtaking sunsets, campfires, and unforgettable nights under the stars.
Perfect for:
Families seeking a weekend getaway
Couples looking for a peaceful retreat
Visitors to Dinosaur Valley State Park
Fossil Rim Wildlife Center guests
Outdoor enthusiasts
Stargazers and photographers
Friend groups
Motorcycle and road-trip travelers.
Pet owners seeking open space.
There are also 2 vintage campers on-site for an additional fee! Each of them sleeps 2 comfortably, and one of them has a pull-out futon for a 3rd person. If you've got a larger group you'd like to host, reach out and let's put your retreat together!
There is an apartment built into a shipping container behind the pavilion in the back pasture where we live, and we are available for anything our renters may need, but we will not be in or around the house while it is rented. It is your space while you are here.

Some extras to choose from (let me know before or during your stay):
Request to have the property to yourself (no renters allowed in glampers on front of property): $50
Firewood delivery: $50

About the host

Hosted by Julia Fletcher

Host profile image
Welcome! I'm Julia, and the Tailgate Ranch is my passion project and dream come true! I love vintage everything, and refuse to be ordinary. I love hosting people who love the country and the Tailgate Ranch for all it's glory!

Why they chose this property

We share a passion for old vintage and rusty stuff – from cars to fixtures to furniture, and we’ve had a BLAST incorporating that love into our ranch. We want you to find something you didn’t notice before on every visit to the Tailgate!
We’ve fallen in love with the Chalk Mountain Loop, Walnut Springs’ sweet community vibe, and the SUNSETS! We hope you will too!

What makes this property unique

The Tailgate provides a location that is perfect for a getaway from DFW, without the long haul required by most secluded retreats! It's quiet at night, and you can explore the area as much as you'd like during the day! We are only 15-30 minutes from The Greenwood Saloon, Horny Toads, and Loco Coyote, and about a minute from Blackie's Bait Shop (awesome little bar/restaurant with good people!), the Rattlesnake Roadhouse, and Texas Tavern. Enjoy!
