Lovely Cottage!

This cottage is tastefully decorated and in a prime location for all sites in Glen Rose. We really enjoyed our stay here and highly recommend the cafe next door for lunch. We could walk downtown easily too. The house is gorgeous and very clean. Would rent again.

Beautiful Cottage

The cottage was beautiful and very clean. The beds were comfortable and all the amenities were in great condition. It is the perfect location to be within walking distance of the main town square, as well as just a few minutes drive to the local attractions. There was a big armoire as well, with toys and games that entertained my 7 and 3 year old during our downtime.

Compass House is even better than the online photos show. The house is very spacious and was immaculately clean. We all enjoyed playing games at the dining room table.and visiting the Barnard Mill art gallery..

This home has charming small-town feel with lots of character and all the amenities we need. My daughters enjoyed playing with the box full of toy animals in the hutch. The location is wonderful as we walked to the square for meals and shopping, and right next door is a fun cafe for lunch. The owner was helpful and quick to respond to me. Highly recommend this place.

We loved our stay!

Compass Cottage was the perfect place for us to stay. It is on the same street as the historic downtown, and we were able to walk to a number of restaurants and cute shops. It’s a 10 minute drive to the attractions we explored. The cottage itself is an incredibly charming mix of history of the area and modern convenience; the photos here do not do it justice. We felt very comfortable and enjoyed spending time in the home. Sarah, the property manager or owner(?), was very nice, and a joy to work with.

3 year old bday adventure!

We have a 3yr old and 4yr old and they LOVED every second staying at the compass cottage! The location is perfect. Its walking distance from tasty restaurants and close to dinosaur valley exactly what we needed. The home was unique and adorable. I thought it was such a cute addition to have my name on the netflix account upon arrival. Small touches to show the home owner cares.

Wonderful !

The charm of this cottage is amazing! Such a comfortable and relaxing place. Wish we had booked more days this stay but we will for sure be back soon! Everything from the cozy living room to the comfortable beds in each of the 3 bedrooms to the large kitchen..the gracious dining area...the big bathroom with clawfoot tub..and the inviting front porch with swing and a table and chairs is just amazing! A short stroll to visit the shops in historic town square.

Super Cozy

This is an adorable old cottage. All the furnishings were very comfortable and tasteful. The fireplace was our favorite thing! Kitchen was bright and spacious. The front porch swing was nice. It was only two blocks from the square and an easy walk to the river. The road noise was the only negative, but we just didn't take that into consideration when we picked the spot. Over all we LOVED IT!

Sisters get together

Very clean, comfortable ! Our complaint was the traffic noise and the parking. Also there was nothing on the property that gave us what we needed to do checking out! But think we did everything that was sent to my e-mail after we had left!

Best thing we did to create a lasting memory!

Loved every moment we spent in this wuiet town. My 2.5 year old is a dino fan and we enjoyed the stay in this place so much. Its her “ Green House”. She enjoyed the backyard to play ball. Swing in the oorch to watch all kinds of vehicles drive by( she loves cars so it was a bonus for us). The host was very accomodating and patient with us. Thank you for opening up a wonderful place for us . We made memories in every room of the house 🙏
