Family friendly home with plenty for every age to enjoy! The renovated 90 year-old Historic home on almost 2/3 of an acre has the Paluxy river right in the backyard complete with a huge deck, massive private concrete dock, kids playground and tree swing. Location is AMAZING, on Barnard St., so you're just a couple minute walk from historic downtown, antique shops, famous Big Rock Park, Oakdale Park (swimming pool/playground), and a 5-6 mile drive to Dinosaur Valley State Park and Fossil Rim!

Stayed May 17, 2025Our family of 6 stayed at this cabin 4 nights. It is right on the water, even closer than the pictures can show. I loved having my coffee and watching the geese swim by from the kitchen table. Our kids loved the tree swing and fort in the beautiful backyard. The house is right on a busy road, a block or two from Big Rocks, which had a lot of traffic. We walked to big rocks to swim. The house was very clean and had every amenity for us to use. The history of the house spurred us to go on a scavenger hunt for more homes built with petrified wood. Communication was easy and quick with our hosts.

Stayed Apr 11, 2025Some of the girls were not happy with the sheetings and the blankets. They were not fresh and clean. Could not find the thermostat Not all bathrooms had bath rugs outside of showers. Mold around one bathroom on shower. It was a beautiful location. Lights hanging on the porch was not working. We all had a wonderful and blessed time. My option is you cannot sleep 14 maybe 10. Susan

Stayed Jun 20, 2024This was the perfect Texas river house vacation for our family. The accommodations were cool, clean, and comfortable. The kids loved the tree house and floating down to Big Rocks park to swim and play in the water. There were many activities in the area to keep everyone busy, but the main event was time spent in the river! We will definitely return to this historic and charming home on the river.

Stayed Oct 13, 2023We had a group of 11 for a wedding in town. There was plenty of room for everyone. The owner provided plenty of necessities and more! The location was so close to the town square. The property is beautiful. I would definitely recommend.

Stayed Jun 16, 2023We came to Glen Rose for a quick weekend getaway with one other family. The location of the home and the amenities did not disappoint. The house was even better than it looked on the listing and the check out process was nice and simple. Highly recommend! Our kids were so sad to leave.
