Tucked away in the beautiful Texas countryside, this charming one-bedroom studio apartment is the perfect home base for exploring North Central Texas—or just unwinding in peace and privacy. Located just 25 minutes from Stephenville and Tarleton State University, and a short scenic drive to the historic downtowns of Granbury (35 min), Weatherford (35 min), Mineral Wells (20 min), and Fort Worth’s Stockyards and Dickies Arena (50 min), this spot offers the best of rural serenity and city access. DFW Airport is just 1 hour and 15 minutes away.
Inside, you’ll find a fully stocked gourmet kitchen complete with a 6-burner gas range, microwave, Keurig and Nespresso coffee makers, and all the tools you’ll need to whip up and serve everything from a country breakfast to a five-course feast.
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? You can also opt for Texas Haute Cuisine delivered directly to your door from Newton’s Saddlerack in Historic Downtown Stephenville.
Whether you’re in town for a Tarleton visit, a romantic weekend, or just need a quiet country escape, this studio offers a one-of-a-kind stay where Texas charm meets chef-inspired hospitality.

Overall A Wonderful experience!!!
Very nice, well kept, scenic property! The rental was tastefully decorated and inviting, very well equipped for our stay. Location was a perfect country-setting while being minutes from town. Communication by our host was spot on!
We came for Parents Weekend at Tarleton State University and didnt want to stay in town due to the amount of people expected for the weekend. The property and home is beautiful and an easy drive to Stephenville. We will definitely be back next time we visit our daughter!
