#### Hidden Gem in Glen Rose
Our family came to Glen Rose to explore Dinosaur Valley State Park, and this property could not have been better situated for that. The park is only a 10 minute drive away, and restaurants and shops are within walking distance The riverside cottage is well appointed, clean, and comfortable. The only downside is the traffic noise from the road, but we were so tired from our day of hiking, that didn't really matter! Thank you for a wonderful stay.

#### Great location to enjoy all that Glen Rose has to offer.
We were 6 adults all over 65\. We enjoyed the backyard and patio area. So pleasant and peaceful. The house was great and located in the heart of Glen Rose with easy access to all the local attractions. The bedrooms were comfortable and large. While we didn't use the kitchen, it was spacious and well equipped. The sitting area was comfortable with plenty of seating for us all. Overall, it was a great place and would definitely rent again.

#### Wedding Stay
The property is very well kept. The house is precious, spacious and clean. The lighting is amazing. If I had to put any negative it would be the noise from the light traffic in front of the house, the front room could hear the cars going by during the night. But it was manageable. Great place - would stay again in a heartbeat!! Thank you for everything!!

The location of the home was perfect, so close to downtown and a 5-10 minute drive to the outdoor activities on our itinerary--Dinosaur Valley State Park, Fossil Rim and Dinosaur World. The peaceful and well-maintained backyard with right-on-the-river views was perfect for relaxing after our busy days. Our only regret was that we didn't book at least one more day.
