A charming 50+ year old farm house (2 bedrooms, 1 1/2 baths– sleeps up to 8) that we have updated—and continue to update. It has a wrap-around porch, with your grill and picnic table in the backyard. The barn next door with its 3,000 square foot second floor has been turned into an indoor/outdoor space and has sitting areas and rugs, and can function as a third bedroom with air mattresses or 3 glamping (ie very nice) roll-out beds for those who want to sleep in the barn and listen to the sounds of the night.

Grandpa’s Old Farmhouse is a mile off the road and deep into the property; the nearest neighbor is over a mile away. The Brazos River flows through the property and is an easy 3 minute drive/15 minute walk from the house. You’ll see deer, wild turkeys, birds of all kinds, and other wild things. After grilling your favorite dish, don’t miss the western sky as it comes alive with a million twinkling stars while the coyotes and owls serenade you.

Guests can even meet Dennis the donkey, Joyce the llama, and their animal friends, visit the hen house and pick your own farm fresh eggs, visit the Painted Rock Station where the kids paint river rocks and hide them, visit the fairy forest and build houses for the fairy's, Do some Axe throwing, visit our Petrified Wood Laboratory, complete with magnifying glasses, and learn what it was like here millions of years ago while enjoying a vacation in Texas. Glampers are sure to enjoy their vacation here: it was rated "absolutely amazing" by the Good Day LA morning show!

Guests will find this site to have everything they will need throughout their stay.
We allow up to two (2) dogs with a $99.00 pet fee. There are also four kayaks, two paddle boards and lots of inner tubes free for guests to use, as well as rapids to enjoy on the river.

*At times the Firepit may not be available due to burn bans.

Scenic views
Located only 40 minutes from TCU and Fort Worth, the accommodation is on a 350-acre working cattle ranch on the banks of Texas’s longest river, the mighty Brazos. This glamping rental is over 50 years old, but it has been updated for guests' comfort. It has beds for eight, and then there are three luxurious roll-aways in the barn. The ranch is located between the charming towns of Weatherford and Granbury and is just minutes from each town. What's more? This property was even featured on the Travel Channel for "8 Irresistible Sleepovers for Adults."

Relax on the grandfather's porch on a hill overlooking part of the ranch, or walk the leisurely 15-minute (two-minute drive) down to the river. The hosts have kayaks there for guests' use (and inner tubes during the summer), as well as seating for those who want to relax and listen to the multiple sets of rapids. Grill up a steak; relax in the hammock; or enjoy a cocktail over at the barn, with its 3,000-square-foot second-floor room, where the panes have no windows, which allows the breeze to dance through the 100-year-old structure.

Visit and feed the animals at "The Barnyard" petting zoo. Pick your own fresh eggs at the Hen House.

*NEW* Get creative at the Painted Rock Station and visit the Petrified Wood Lab!

There are many miles of virgin hiking trails and easy walks; there are outdoor games like horseshoes, croquet, frisbees, a fire pit, porch sitting, bird watching, and three ponds for fishing. The ranch also has the only known Fairy Forest in the region, where glampers can build a fairy house out of natural elements. (This keeps the fairies coming back!)

The rapids are the perfect place to sit and relax in the chair chairs provided with a favorite beverage, fish, or kayak with the four kayaks and several tubes that have been provided. Glampers should also bring their mountain bikes as the area is perfect to spend the day exploring.

Guests are sure to see deer, wild turkeys, birds of all kinds, and other wild things in the area. After grilling a favorite dish, don’t miss the western sky as it comes alive with a million twinkling stars while the coyotes and owls serenade guests.
