About this cabin rental

"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

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.

We had the most incredible stay in the African tent on the ranch in Weatherford, Texas! It was the perfect mix of adventure and comfort — true glamping. We fed the horses and donkeys, relaxed by the fire making s’mores, soaked in the hot tub under the stars, and enjoyed breakfast on the balcony overlooking the waterfall. The tent itself was beautifully decorated with every amenity you’d expect in a home, but with the charm of being tucked away in the woods.The shower was absolutely gorgeous, the setting was peaceful, and we loved exploring the river and small ponds around the property for fishing. It was close to everything we wanted to do, yet still felt like a private escape.The caretakers were amazing — so friendly, attentive, and accommodating. We would gladly stay here again and highly recommend this glamping experience to anyone looking for a unique and unforgettable getaway!

It was very clean and private. The wooded area was great. We saw deer every morning and evening. It’s a short walk or drive to the private river access which was amazing! There was gunfire every afternoon, which was not great, but not sure if it was on the property or someone

Beautiful property with lots to do and see. Private section of the Brazos is amazing. Everything in the tent was perfection! Awesome to go hiking and come back to AC and amazing shower!! Will definitely be back to check out the other houses there.
