Sundancer On The Brazos sits on Comanche Creek in an isolated forest on a 350 acre working cattle ranch with a quarter mile of river frontage! The Comanche were quite active up and down this part of the Brazos when the earliest settlers arrived around 1850, until the Comanches' 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!) Weatherford is only 10 minutes away and Granbury is only 20 minutes away; both have great restaurants. And this close to Fort Worth (30min), you could actually commute and have a ranch to come home to at night--note the lower pricing mid week.

So relaxing

LuxuryTent/Waterfall- Brazos River!

This place was awesome. The "Safari Tent" gave the stay a very unique feel as you could still here the outdoors from inside, yet it heated and cooled very efficiently. The Japanese soaking tub was a fun and relaxing experience. The ranch was so quiet and peaceful, and complimented the great company I had which made for one of the best weekends I've had in a long time. Definitely want to come back when it's warmer!
