About this property

Come visit Walnut Springs and enjoy some peace and quiet in our small town retreat, with an amazing great room upstairs and a beautiful wraparound porch and back deck. Watch a Bosque county sunset on the back porch swings, and a hammock stand to enjoy your favorite book. Perfect for watching sunsets and seeing the wildlife stroll across the back 10 acres. Plan to have a bonfire in the 8 foot fire pit while you play a horseshoe tournament on our Horseshoe pits.
Glen Rose is only 15 minutes away, so it's close enough to get in the mix, but far enough to enjoy the serenity of the country life. There are several delicious new and old restaurants, a few small grocery stores, a liquor store, gas station a half mile up the road in town, so you can get your creature comforts!
We enjoy old stuff, vintage cars, and motorcycles, and we hope you can pick out the vintage touches throughout the house!! The bedrooms have been custom designed, and include the Americana room, and the Studio room. The kitchen table is an old motorcycle topped with a glass table top, and the kitchen island was constructed from bona-fide barn tin off of an old barn on the Chisholm Trail in Fort Worth, Texas! We hope you enjoy the little details as much as we enjoyed designing it!
There are also 2 vintage campers on-site for an additional fee! Each of them sleeps 2 comfortably, and one of them has a pull-out futon for a 3rd person. If you've got a larger group you'd like to host, reach out and let's put your retreat together!
There is an apartment built into a shipping container behind the pavilion in the back pasture where we live, and we are available for anything our renters may need, but we will not be in or around the house while it is rented. It is your space while you are here.

Great for the weekend

The property was great to stay at for a weekend trip. Sadly it was raining so we didnt get to use the hammock, the fire pit, or the horseshoe game outside. But with the number of board games Julia has it is easy to keep busy inside too. The house is super cute with lots of vintage touches. She has directions and labels and has thought of all the questions you could ask. Very thoughtful. The only issue we had was orginally the posting stated there was a hot tub which there is not. It was a big reason we booked but turned out we had a great time without it. The fresh eggs were a cute touch, thanks!

Peaceful stay w loads of activities

The ranch supplied a ton of activities to keep us occupied such as board games and music players. The massive property gave us a ton of space to let our dog run around. The top deck was very nice to enjoy the sunset with dinner. Julia was very prompt with replies and communication with us. I would certainly stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Julia Fletcher

Welcome! I'm Julia, and the Tailgate Ranch is my passion project and dream come true! I love vintage everything, and refuse to be ordinary. I love hosting people who love the country and the Tailgate Ranch for all it's glory!

Why they chose this property

We share a passion for old vintage and rusty stuff – from cars to fixtures to furniture, and we’ve had a BLAST incorporating that love into our ranch. We want you to find something you didn’t notice before on every visit to the Tailgate!
We’ve fallen in love with the Chalk Mountain Loop, Walnut Springs’ sweet community vibe, and the SUNSETS! We hope you will too!

What makes this property unique

The Tailgate provides a location that is perfect for a getaway from DFW, without the long haul required by most secluded retreats! It's quiet at night, and you can explore the area as much as you'd like during the day! We are only 15-30 minutes from The Greenwood Saloon, Horny Toads, and Loco Coyote, and about a minute from Blackie's Bait Shop (awesome little bar/restaurant with good people!), the Rattlesnake Roadhouse, and Texas Tavern. Enjoy!
