Neighborhood

Little Red’s Nest sits in the peaceful countryside just outside the charming town of Glen Rose, Texas — where wide-open skies meet small-town hospitality. You’ll be surrounded by rolling hills, oak trees, and quiet country roads that make early mornings and starry nights extra special. Though it feels wonderfully secluded, you’re only a short drive from Glen Rose’s local favorites — including the Historic Town Square, Fossil Rim Wildlife Center, Big Rocks Park, and the Dinosaur Valley State Park trails. It’s the kind of place where you can unwind, reconnect with nature, and still be close enough to enjoy boutique shopping, cozy cafes, and down-home restaurants. Expect the sounds of crickets at night, deer sightings in the morning, and friendly locals who’ll greet you with a smile.

Guest Access

The entire house and the acre it sits on is yours to enjoy. The backyard is completely fenced in for your children and fur babies to run around. There is no garage, but there is room for four to five vehicles in the driveway. There is no access to the metal shed on the property.

The Fossil Farmstay was perfect for our group including kids and dogs! The home was very clean and cozy with a spacious layout and everything you need in the kitchen! The kids loved the games and we all loved the large fenced in backyard that was perfect to play on the playset, lounge on the patio, and roast marshmallows by the fire. The location was also perfect for us to go to Dinosaur Valley, Fossil Rim, and downtown with ease. We will very likely be back!

We had a wonderful family Christmas. The home was great for 10 adults, 2 children, and 2 dogs. The home was clean and accommodated everyone nicely. We especially enjoyed the back yard and country location. Cynthia and Aaron were great to respond quickly and even sent an electrician on Christmas Eve when the stove was not working. Thank you for making our holiday memorable!

The house was beautiful, well-stocked, and had lots of helpful little extras like yard games, board games, a great coffee station, s’more ingredients, and other little extras. The house is situated in a peaceful area of the country but we with great restaurants and activities like Fossil Rim within a 15-minute drive.

Great house for a multi-generational Thanksgiving! Plenty of room for three families with grandparents staying in first floor bedroom (huge bonus). Quiet, peaceful surroundings; kitchen had everything we needed and big table sat all of us for great Thanksgiving dinner. Very responsive hosts and no issues; clean, looks just like pictures! Highly recommend!

We had such a great time at Cynthia’s Airbnb! She was very accommodating with all of our requests! The home was even more beautiful in person! I would recommend this listing to everyone.

1,000 characters simply isn’t enough to describe how absolutely amazing Cynthia’s place was! With a big group coming in from all over the states for a friends wedding, we all immediately felt at home! From the layout to the amenities! Chef’s Kiss! The fire pit was the perfect place for all of us to sit and catch up on everything under a beautiful Texas Night Sky! If we ever find our way back, we will definitely be staying here! P.S. the bookshelf board games are on all of our wishlist for Christmas this year!
