This was really neat! We were right off of the town square. Surrounded by many historical sights within walking distance. A lot of restaurants in walking distance as well. Was within driving distance of everything to see in Glen Rose. We even ventured out to Dublin and Hico just to look around.

Quaint small town getaway
This is a unique stay. Loved learning the history of the cabin. The bed was extremely comfortable and the owner goes above and beyond on thoughtful amenities. Highly recommend! Note for people who have stability issues, you have to be able to climb into the tub!

Log Cabin
This is a darling log cabin with interesting history. The owner has newspaper articles and paperwork authenticating the history. The museum across the way has many artifacts and antiques for your browsing. My husband and I loved walking the square, eating on the square and site seeing around the square.
