About this place
Cabin on the SAME river 113 million-year-old dinosaur tracks were just discovered minutes upstream in Dinosaur Valley State Park.
Guests can step back in time to another era in this renovated boxcar nestled in the woods near Fort Worth, Texas. It sleeps four guests in two bunk beds, which are made up of large twin beds. There is a full kitchen, a sitting area, and an old-fashioned bathroom with a claw-foot bathtub.
Outside, there is a rock terrace to enjoy as well as a vintage playground children will love.
This property has a stunning chapel on-site that overlooks the river, a popular location for smaller weddings. There is a traditional bell tower and stained glass windows creating an antique atmosphere.
