Very cool Victorian home walkable to Big Rocks Park

We stated here for a weekend to visit Big Rocks park, the square, and Dinosaur Valley Park. We loved the huge rooms and everyone had their own bathroom. We did encounter a few bugs when we first got there, but that’s likely because of the closeness to the river and area. Be prepared for a Victorian experience and you will love this place.

Best birthday and Father’s Day combo

The lily house is conveniently, located to the river, Oakdale Park, and the downtown Square area. Much of the downstairs has central AC with window units in each of the four bedrooms. All bedrooms are extremely roomy and all have their private bath. The kitchen is huge and well stocked with all of the necessary, utensils, dishes, etc. Two dishwashers. Big refrigerator. Big dining room and big family room. The front porch is wonderful as the house sits high on the hill so there’s a nice breeze and a good view. The courtyard area around back is also nice. Plenty of covered parking. Lots to do in the Glen Rose area. Check out dinosaur world. we very much enjoyed our stay and would go back and do it again. It’s a wonderful property.

We had a magical Christmas at the Lilly House!

The Lilly House Was the perfect spot for a family Christmas gathering! Our host went above and beyond to decorate the home for Christmas just so it would be extra special for us. It meant the world and was beautiful! This is a great spot for family gatherings plenty of room and the home is well stocked with anything you could need.

Perfect for a girls getaway

We stayed at the Lilly House for a girls weekend and the Glen Rose Art and Wine Festival. This place was perfect for what we needed. Plenty of space to relax and catch up. It is also very close to that square for some great shopping and food. The house was very clean and the rooms were spacious. Loved that each bedroom has its own bathroom. We would definitely stay again

It would have been an amazing experience had the host cut on the air on a full 24 hours before arriv

With exception of the first night of the upstairs being in the mid to high eighties well into the night and having to go purchase 3 box fans just to be bearable it was really nice. The 2nd day once the house had cooled down made it so much better

Friendship Weekend

It was easy to to get in at the property. But there was a lot of wasp nests everywhere. We had one person get stung. So we let the property manager know but nothing was done. No one ever answer question when emailed. The. While at the house there needed to be blackout curtains to cool it off in the rooms. Window units need to be checked. Not working correctly. Other than that we had a good stay with our friends.

Delightful visit

We were thrilled to stay at this picturesque dollhouse of a home. It was ideal for our women’s weekend. Spacious and comfortable!! We used the kitchen and found it to be accommodating to our needs. We lounged in the sofas, played card game at the dining table, and felt at home as we visited. We loved sitting in the rocking chairs out front and enjoying the view. No doubt we would pick this home again for future stays in Glen Rose. Thank you! We were beyond blessed. 🥰
