Secluded hilltop cabin overlooking the Brazos River Valley. Access road is steep and unpaved but easily driven—our family’s done it for 22 years without 4WD. Set on 38 acres with private river access, patio, and fishing deck; seasonal beach great for kids and fossil hunting. Two queen bedrooms plus sofa bed. Towels, linens, and furnished kitchen. Wi‑Fi, DirecTV, grill, washer/dryer. Children and pets welcome. Just 10 min to Glen Rose and 20 min to Dinosaur Valley, Fossil Rim, and Dinosaur World.

The cabin was perfect for a couples getaway. The kitchen amenities were sufficient, ice trays filled and ready, firewood piled up as well. The property is beautiful and secluded. We loved saying hi to the donkeys and watch the deer. Just a few miles from all of the fun activities Glen Rose has to offer. Kay was also wonderful at communicating with us.

Awesome location and clean cabin with an amazing view. Several friendly dogs and other animals, as well as a swing set and trampoline were an added bonus. It does have a pretty steep, gravel road to get up the hill to the cabin.

Cozy Scenic Cabin

Our family went for a Father’s Day weekend getaway and thoroughly enjoyed our cabin and the Brazos House Retreat property. We had such an enjoyable visit that we decided to make this an annual event. The view is stunning, that swings were fantastic, and we made good use of the fire pit and the wood provided.

Weekend getaway

Reserved for a long weekend getaway and it was perfect! Location was easy to get to and only 15-20 minute drive from neighboring cities. Spent time at the Brazos River , drove to downtown Glen Rose for dinner at Blackies, visited Big Rocks and enjoyed evenings in a quiet countryside. Stan brought us fresh eggs and even drove us to see some exotic animals!

Very beautiful location and sweet owners!

My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay! It was so peaceful, none of us wanted to leave! If you do choose this beautiful cabin to stay, just watch for scorpions! I walked back into the bedroom just in time before a scorpion walked onto my toddlers foot while he was sleeping, then found 2 more throughout the house. Country living at its finest! We had a blast and can't wait to stay again.

Cozy cabin in a quiet location

The cabin was clean and had everything we needed and it was fairly priced. We had a few surprises, but overall the stay was good. The couch was not the same couch that was in the photo, so it was a little smaller than we expected, but my teen slept fine on it. I didn’t realize another cabin was going to be right next to us so had we stayed on the property all day that might have been a little too close.

Cute cabin

It's a small cabin, but the layout maximizes the space. It was clean, inviting, warm, and well maintained. The property owner was responsive. We enjoyed the property, including feeding the animals in the pasture. It's worth noting the twin bed listed in the living room is a couch, but it worked for us.

A Nice Little Getaway Place

Loved the landscape with great privacy. The cabin had everything you needed for the stay. Great climate control both for cold and warm days. Stan was great and loved Bo the dog. Glen Rose was a friendly place with good places to eat. Caution most restaurants closed by 3:00 pm. The area definitely embraces that this was an area where dinosaurs walked. Hope to visit again. Thank you for having us.
