"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).

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.
