Local Attractions

That's right, a giraffe. Nationally-known Fossil Rim Wildlife Center is nearly next door. Historic Granbury and Glen Rose,  charming Hico, the Bluff Dale Winery, and the famous Dublin Dr. Pepper Museum are all just a short drive away.  Let's not forget the Cowboy Capital of Texas....Stephenville, is only a 25 minute drive.

Most people prefer just to stay at The Hideaway, though, and enjoy the countryside. Fish in the ponds, swim and sun at the pool, hike in the woods, go for a horseback ride,  stargaze from your hot tub spa, or just relax on the porch swing with a good book.
