Feel like Tarzan as you slumber high in the treetops at SkyBox Cabins in Glen Rose. Birds will chirp their good mornings mere feet away from you, the rhythmic sound of leaves rustling at night will serve as a lullaby, and the luxury amenities are akin to those of a five-star hotel. It’s the perfect getaway for the whole family.
Situated on 50 sprawling acres tucked away in a thick grove of cedar and oak, this Hill Country retreat features three distinctly individual, yet equally spellbinding, treetop cabins.
Interior amenities include living space, a kitchenette complete with cooking supplies, and private bathrooms. Those tree branches you see were taken straight from the property, as is much of the decor! Talk about re-purposing.
You’ll feel right at home in the second-floor bedrooms, which are modestly furnished to promote rest and relaxation. Just head through that door for easy access to the balcony.
All three cabins have their very own balcony where guests can enjoy unparalleled views of the surrounding landscape. Leisurely sip your morning coffee, watch the sun make its grand descent beyond the horizon, or stay up late to marvel at the unadulterated starry night sky.
Known as "The Nest," this Pinterest-worthy hideout is Skybox's newest addition. It boasts all the luxuries offered in the other cabins, plus a quirky little nook you can escape to and read, journal, or simply close your eyes and let your mind wander.
Nothing quite compares to sitting outside on a cloudless summer evening, the ethereal glimmer of strung-up porch lights shining bright as the heavens above. This is a place where friendships are fostered, relationships rekindled, and unforgettable memories made.
Address: 1767 County Road 1011, Glen Rose, TX 76043. You’ll find the cabins centrally located in Glen Rose, not far from either the DFW area or Austin. Even better, Dinosaur Valley State Park is just minutes away! Make a mini vacation out of it and marvel at the very ground that prehistoric creatures used to walk on.
