Awesome property! We loved our stay! Communication was excellent, and they quickly accommodated our early check in and late check out because they were able. We so appreciated it! We can’t wait to stay again!

We booked this spot for a corporate leadership meeting for two nights. It was a great venue and everything was well communicated ahead of time. The host was responsive to questions. It is a very unique property and each guest was impressed with the layout, features, and general property location. It is very secluded as well so you dont have to worry about neighbors or noises.

Where do I begin? The owner is clearly a person after my own heart! All the living necessities are provided and they’re clean and look new as if they were selected just for your arrival. The interior design is gorgeous giving extra attention to the small details that make this place unique. The bedrooms are cozy and comfortable, and the showers are better than a five-star resort. I especially loved the vanity nestled at a window of the bathroom. The natural light and the feeling of being outdoors without sacrificing the luxury of air-conditioning is priceless. The home is clean with plenty of things to do if you prefer to stay indoors, but why would you because the outdoor space is amazing! I did not want for anything while I was there and mother nature was truly generous over the weekend as well! The creek just a few steps away had enough water to sit & relax while enjoying the sights and sounds, and the swimming hole just a few more steps away, left us speechless! I can’t emphasize enough how wonderful the privacy and comfort level are at the Tonkawa house. Looking forward to booking another stay as soon as possible!
Enjoy the outdoors without leaving your bedroom/bathroom
View from the dining table. Creek just steps away
View from swimming hole very near the house
Rushing water = minimal algae; so refreshing!

eclipse on the creek

Perfect spot in Texas for the 2024 eclipse. Clouds cleared just in time for us! Remote location yet easy drive into town. The goodies, coffee, and eclipse glasses provided by the hosts were thoughtful and appreciated!
