Gather around the community fire pit for stargazing like you've never seen before, and enjoy the peaceful ambiance of the countryside or relax in a hammock and play a round of horse shoes! Vacation Your Way created Tiny Town to provide quick get-a-ways (estimated 1.5 hour drive) from DFW and other big cities around Texas so y’all can enjoy the ranch life at our unique vacation rentals.

If you are traveling with extended family or friends, please contact your host so that we can book your groups nearby each other. It's the perfect way to travel with others, you each have your own private space but your guests are nearby. Tiny homes and cabins are spread apart on our many acres.

Glen Rose's DinoWorld and Fossil Rim are about a 30 min drive!

( Ask us about our second Tiny Town that is a lake experience in Eastland, TX–Lake Eastland!)

Next door is our Rockin' RV Park and Horse Motel--so bring your RV friends to enjoy our great hook-ups and RV amenities. Search for Rockin' K RV park to book. The Horse Motel is an amenity for Tiny Town too- if you bring a horse- let your host know to book the horse stall area, too!

Explore the historic town of Hico, just minutes away, where you can browse cool shops, enjoy a steak at the Chop House, or delve into history at the Billy the Kid Museum (we highly recommend it!). The new HiCO hall is the premiere wedding and concert venue in the area. For more family fun, nearby attractions like Fossil Rim Wildlife Center and Dinosaur World are perfect for a day trip.

HIGHLIGHTS for CABIN 2:

D and D Refuge Cabin 2:
D1 and D2 were those cowboys that wish they ran wild with Billy the Kids but they were always in the wrong place at the wrong time. Until they found Billy retired in Hico, TX and they built this refuge to enjoy their long story tell nights around the community fire pit with ‘ol Billy the Kid!
1 - loft = double bed
1 - king bed bedroom downstairs (So comfortable!!)
Lovely spacious kitchen and dining area ]
SPA Shower- "rain shower" I love it!

More than clean—we cleanse and sanitize (laundry) the beautiful space so you can escape the city and truly enjoy the fresh open air of the ranch!

Kara's a Gem! Perfect Hico Getaway, Farm Fun, & Extras.

by Janet

This cabin is as advertised and is in a great location for visiting Hico. All of the tourist things are just 2 – 3 miles away. Host was excellent at communcation and went above and beyond making us feel welcome with flowers in the cabin, a special treat in the refrigerator, allowing us to pick/eat peaches from her tree, and letting our girls help to feed the farm animals.

We worked hard to describe the wonderful Tiny Town accommodations well for guests to feel comfortable. We are so glad your expectations were met 🙂 please come again soon! We look forward to seeing you!

Peaceful Paradise: A Gem of a Getaway with Amazing Hosts!

If this place appeals to you, there is a reason! What a peaceful and comfortable place, surrounded by nature, for all to rest and relax. Kara & Christopher continue to make improvements to this gem of a getaway, and couldn’t be nicer or more gracious hosts. I don’t usually give 5 stars, but they deserve every bit of these accolades. If you stay, you too will understand what gift their little paradise is and how much it has to offer. I know I will be forever grateful for my wonderful experiences here! Sarah Stevens

Tiny Homes, Big Comfort. Impressed by the Craftsmanship & Host!

by Peggy

Tiny Town isn't so tiny! The spaces are touted as tiny homes, but the homes are spacious despite their titles. Creature comforts is well planned as are the decorations, the living spaces and the use of every square inch. The craftsmanship was excellent in our little cabin and we were extremely impressed by the amenities. Freezing temperatures brought some challenges which were met quickly and head – on by Kara. Kara can improvise quickly and was checking in on us regularly with the freezing temperatures during our stay. We hadn't planned on cooking, however, we did and found everything that we needed.

Kara's a Gem! Comfy Beds, Animals, & Problem-Solving Host

by Elsie

Terrific visit with a Grandkid. Loved the location, comfortable beds, farm animals and farm cats. We stayed in two accommodations: the Tiny Home #6 and Cabin #2. Tiny Home #6 was fun and had a very nice shower. We switched to the Cabin when I discovered that I had inadvertently booked an accommodation without WiFi, which I needed for a bit of office work. Our host quickly worked to switch us, saving our vacation. Cabin #2 is very, very rustic but was clean and had very comfy beds . And WIFI!. Really good host.

It was a joy hosting you! Thank you for communicating your needs and giving us a chance to make your stay the best! We look forward to seeing you soon!
