Beauty and comfort in the countryside
When my family was invited to a wedding near Glen Rose, we had no idea what to expect or where to stay. We were so lucky to have found Fossil Farmstay! After a long trek from North Carolina, we walked in the front door and immediately felt pampered and relaxed. The house is beautiful and immaculate, without being fussy. The kind of luxury that feels welcoming and livable. The hosts put a lot of thought and care into considering every need. The beds were super comfortable, the rooms were spacious, the backyard was great for both people and pets, and the amenities were top quality. And in almost every room there was a thoughtful touch that made us say, “What a terrific idea!” (In fact, we contacted to hosts after our stay to get details about some of those ideas so that we could replicate them at home!) And speaking of contacting the hosts, the communication with them was fantastic. Their pre-arrival instructions were thorough and easy to understand, and they were super-responsive from start to finish. High marks across the board. Fossil Farmstay was a fantastic home away from home.

Family-Approved at Fossil Farmstay
A wonderful weekend at Fossil Farmstay! We had three generations (6 adults, 1 young child, 1 small dog) under one roof for an extended weekend and the hosts thought of everything for their property. From a stocked coffee & tea bar and s’mores station, to lawn games, board games, children's books & toys, pet supplies, tvs in every bedroom, and more! We felt comfortable in this well-supplied home and enjoyed the thoughtful details and design found throughout. Great A/C, blackout shades, & ceiling fans in every room helped us keep cool with TX summer heat. Layout accommodated our family’s needs well. Peaceful countryside location was just outside of Glen Rose and was easy to navigate in/out of town regularly. Hosts were thorough in communication regarding the home (i.e. comprehensive information in the listing’s write-up; automated messages with add’l key booking/property information; guest binder within the home), and were responsive to messages during our stay. We would be happy to return to this property when back in the area!

About the host

Host profile image
My husband and I are high-school sweethearts with two daughters. We built our forever home in Fort Worth, TX and enjoy the process from build to decorate. We love to travel as a couple and family. Our favorite place is FL beaches or CO mountains. I quit my job to host full time to spend time homeschooling our girls. This has been a family adventure and we've poured our whole hearts into making this a desirable experience for other families.

Why they chose this property

It's just a short 8 minute drive from the town square, restaurants and local entertainment. The drive is peaceful with farmlife and open green pastures. Nestled outside of the city limits, the property offers a serene vacation escape with rolling hills in the distance. On a clear night, you can look up and see the stars and listen to nature. If a storm rolls in, you can sit under one of the many porches and watch as you listen to the soothing sounds. There are plenty of great local places to eat and a variety of cuisines to choose from. With Dinosaur Valley State Park, Fossil Rim, and Dinosaur World near by, there are plenty of activities for entertainment. After a long day in the sun, you can cool off in the Paluxy River or grab ice cream at one of the locally owned spots.

What makes this property unique

Welcome to our thoughtfully designed retreat, crafted with every detail to ensure your family enjoys a stress-free stay. Inside, kids can indulge in foosball or arcade games, while outside, a three-tier treehouse with a swing set and tetherball await their adventures. Additional yard games like cornhole, ladder ball, jumbo Jenga, and Connect Four guarantee endless entertainment for all ages. Find your tranquil spot in our cozy nooks for relaxation or a good read. After a day enjoying the town, adults can unwind in our hot tub for eight or uncover our hidden speakeasy. Mix up a delightful drink, try your luck at Texas Hold'em, and savor the moments of shared joy and relaxation.
