DFW Airport is just 1 hour and 15 minutes away.

The cozy living area features a comfortable sofa and recliners, plus a Firestick-equipped TV, DVD player, and plenty of space to kick back and relax. The spacious bathroom includes a walk-in shower, plush towels, and thoughtful touches to make your stay extra comfortable. Step outside to your covered patio and outdoor living space, where you’ll find inviting furniture, a fire table, grill, and panoramic views of the kind of sunrises and sunsets you just can’t get in the city. You might even spot cattle, longhorns, horses, donkeys, or a particularly charming potbellied pig roaming the nearby pasture. Bringing horses or traveling with your RV? Stalls and outdoor space are available for an additional fee, and we also offer 50-amp RV hookups and water connections upon request at an added cost. Don’t feel like cooking? Add-on meal packages or even a private dining experience are available from Cowboy Chef Newton of MasterChef fame. Prefer a night in?
