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.

Beautiful cabin and town

This was a beautiful cabin and location to stay at. Even with the cabin being directly off of the town square it was a very quite location. At night you get that nice small town feel. The property manager was also very friendly when communicating with them.
