Compass Cottage in Historic Glen Rose

Compass Cottage is your perfect getaway spot. Built in the late 1800s, the cottage has retained it’s architectural style as a “breezeway house” with two front doors and many original touches. Centrally located to Glen Rose’s historic downtown, it is within a short walk to restaurants, parks, museums, and shopping. The cottage is filled with charm and equipped to make your weekend vacation or extended stay as relaxing and enjoyable as possible.

The cottage has 3 bedrooms, a full kitchen, a dining room that seats 8, a bathroom with a clawfoot tub and shower, a washer/dryer (detergent provided), a front porch for relaxing and watching the passing traffic, and a partially fenced backyard for enjoying time outdoors.

The cottage is on Barnard Street, the main road to downtown. A sidewalk takes you directly to the main square where the restaurants and shopping are located.

The cottage is professionally cleaned after each guest.

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 🙏

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.

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!

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.
