About this property

Luxury African Tent W/ A/C, Waterfall, 300 acre ranch on the Brazos River! "Amazing"- FW Mag Tubing!

"Beautiful!"- Good Morning LA tv show

No crowds!- Sundancer sits in a beautiful forest on a magnificent deck overlooking Comanche Creek and your own waterfall! The tent (with central air/heat) has only the trees and birds for your neighbors. (see our video in the 3rd pic to the right).

“You only hear the wind and the trees” - 360 West Magazine

We imported Sundancer from Africa; it has a with a full bath (with over-sized shower), luxurious bedroom/linens, and so much more! It's on a 300+ acre working cattle ranch, with lots of river frontage!

The Fort Worth Star Telegram called Sundancer "The Best of Both Worlds" ie of nature and comfort.
The Travel Channel (online) called it "Irresistible!"

Come see why! (And note our lower weeknight rates!)

Come meet (& feed) Dennis the donkey, his girlfriend Sugar, and all his other barnyard friends! - see pics

- Chairs overlooking the river are provided
- Kayaks and tubes are provided! Or (my fave) enjoy a beverage while sitting IN the rapids in one of the light plastic chairs, as the river gurgles and splashes around your feet. Great sunsets from the river!

- Visit our new Petrified Wood Lab, complete with magnifying glasses-- learn what it was like here millions of years ago!

- Fishing is good just above the rapids

- Go hunting for arrowheads and petrified wood.

A portion of your rental fee will be donated to the Tarrant Area Food Bank for the less fortunate. (Last year our donation provided 12,000 meals!)

Sundancer is for re-discovering love and adventure! It is a couples' paradise, and is also perfect for a personal retreat.

The Comanche were quite active up and down this part of the Brazos when the earliest settlers arrived around 1850, until the Commanches' eventual conquest by the Texas Rangers and their Colt pistols around 1870; we have found lots of flint and some arrowheads on high places here. Going further back in history, the Fuller’s Folly River Ranch has an abundance of petrified wood; they say that if you have fossilized sea shells you were under water, but if you have petrified wood you had land creatures. Hunting for petrified wood is a fun adventure here. (But leave them for the next person to discover!)

We offer discounts for one week stays.

Beautiful quiet place
We arrived just as darkness fell. It would have been nice to have some outside lights turned on for us. The deck railings are showing signs of wear, many of the ropes on the railing were broken and wood warped. Also it would have been nice if someone had swept the deck area and the outdoor seating area prior to our arrival. I had to do that myself before we could enjoy the outside areas. Be aware the "kitchenette" is really just a bar area with mini fridge and tiny sink & microwave but we made it work. Overall we enjoyed our stay. Once we figured out how to turn on the waterfall (we hadn't realized from the pictures or description that it was a water feature on a timer) we enjoyed that as well. The shower was lovely and the bed adequate. We didn't use the hot tub at all because the water looked dirty and having to build your own fire to heat it seemed a bit daunting. What we most enjoyed during our stay was our long walks (1.5 miles) each day to the river. The land around the property itself is beautiful.

Excellent accommodations!
Beautiful location with luxury tent/cabin and the most awesome fire heated wooden soaking tub. Waterfall and trees galore with nature all around. We will be going back in the future! Plus check out their Hobbit House rental. Such nice owners to deal with.
