Enjoyed the old world charm of this quaint home. Rooms beautifully decorated, furniture and beds comfortable, property in a quiet area and close to downtown so we could walk to dinner at a restaurant and browse the amazing boutiques and bookstores. Enjoyed delicious old-fashioned sodas at downtown Shoo Fly Soda Shop. Blew a fuse when preparing breakfast Saturday morning. Contacted the host, but didn’t hear back. However, there were enough outlets in the kitchen that we were able to prepare the remaining meals. Well stocked kitchen with everything needed to prepare meals.Our group had a relaxing and comfortable stay.

Lilly House

A wonderful old home with period antiques. The kitchen was large and well equipped. The front porch is a lovely place to relax after 18 holes of golf. My only suggestion would be to put more rocking chairs on the porch.
Enjoying large dining table for playing games.

Very cool Victorian home walkable to Big Rocks Park

We stated here for a weekend to visit Big Rocks park, the square, and Dinosaur Valley Park. We loved the huge rooms and everyone had their own bathroom. We did encounter a few bugs when we first got there, but that’s likely because of the closeness to the river and area. Be prepared for a Victorian experience and you will love this place.

Vintage beauty! Elegant home- wonderful experience.

Our family of 9 with three kids included stayed and had a wonderful time. The bedrooms were huge and each with their own baths were like private suites. Showers had great pressure. We put the kids to bed then had the other part of the house to visit and relax. The kitchen was large and well stocked with everything needed. We didn’t cook there except a breakfast casserole but would have enjoyed doing so if we wanted. Kitchen had two dishwashers. We loved the front porch and swing. The weather was perfect and evenings on the porch were lovely. The house seemed to be about a 1930’s house but top notch and beautifully decorated. I would love to have seen it back then. The house has kept its beauty and charm but also been updated with modern appliances and conveniences. We will definitely be back and recommend

Best birthday and Father’s Day combo

The lily house is conveniently, located to the river, Oakdale Park, and the downtown Square area. Much of the downstairs has central AC with window units in each of the four bedrooms. All bedrooms are extremely roomy and all have their private bath. The kitchen is huge and well stocked with all of the necessary, utensils, dishes, etc. Two dishwashers. Big refrigerator. Big dining room and big family room. The front porch is wonderful as the house sits high on the hill so there’s a nice breeze and a good view. The courtyard area around back is also nice. Plenty of covered parking. Lots to do in the Glen Rose area. Check out dinosaur world. we very much enjoyed our stay and would go back and do it again. It’s a wonderful property.
