Brazos River View Large Covered Private Deck with Hot Tub and Fire Pit

Whether you are looking for a change of venue with the kids, romantic getaway or just time away from your concrete city-scape, come on out to relax and to be truly inspired by the spectacular view from every room in our well- appointed, 3 king-bedroom, 2 bath vacation home. Upon stepping inside the front door of Inspiration Point, you will be greeted by a wall of windows and awe-inspiring view. Your stay at Inspiration Point will provide you with a memorable experience, indeed!

Inspiration Point is often enjoyed as a delightful girl friends' getaway in a luxurious country home away from home. Or, many find it a perfect setting for an intimate couples retreat. Families with children come to enjoy the river from sun-up to sun-down. In the evenings you are still 'at the river' in luxury, peace and quiet. The large covered deck with hot tub, outdoor fireplace, gas and smoker grills offers an out-door experience for you and your family -- under the stars while having all the comforts of home in comfortable king-size beds. Renters must be 25 years or older. Your dogs are welcomed but you must notify the property manager and there is a one time fee per dog of $25.

Bring your boat or jet ski! If your family, or that special someone, loves boating, fishing or, skiing or just enjoys basking in the Texas sun, you'll be 5 minutes from Hamm Creek Park and boat launch on the Brazos River. Our property allows for easy boat parking, too.

Spend a couple nights or a week or two.

If you allow yourself the luxury of time, Inspiration Point will melt away all traces of stress as you relish each moment gazing from high above, over hundreds of acres of green space, farm land and Texas mesas surrounding the Brazos River.

And, oh my, the opportunity for spectacular sunrises and sunsets from the spacious covered deck will be the only reason to consider 'time' while at Inspiration Point. You will set your clock by the beauty that only nature can provide.

Our guests enjoy a fully furnished kitchen with an array of staples. Bring your own food and drink preferences and make yourselves at home. Prepare your meals in the kitchen or at the gas or smoker grills out on the covered deck. Eat at the dining table situated in front of the wall-of-windows, or take your meals out onto the lovely deck for a luxurious country picnic-in-the-sky.

If you can bear to pull yourselves away from Inspiration Point to look for other things to do, there are a variety of small towns just a short country drive away. Glen Rose, Texas offers an abundance of antiquing, unique restaurants, Fossil Rim Wildlife Park, Dinosaur Valley, and more. If you prefer a lake to the river, Lake Whitney and Lake Granbury are also a short drive from Inspiration Point. Another excellent choice would be to visit the historic town square in Granbury, Texas. Should you long for live theatre and think you're too far away from big city life to find such entertainment, set your worries to rest. The Plaza Theatre in Cleburne is a no-traffic, 25-minute country drive north of Inspiration Point.

Inspiration Point vacation home boasts a spectacular Texas Hill Country experience, and a totally unique ambience; all located unexpectedly close to Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas.

Come be inspired to just relax, read, play, or just ...BE, and breathe ...deeply.

Fine Print!
I’ve had a couple of guests asked why I charge a refundable deposit in addition to the VRBO insurance.
The insurance provided by VRBO is for damage only! The refundable deposit is for additional cleaning if required. I have managed Inspiration Point since 2013 and I have had to keep the full amount once and $25 of it twice for the cleaning service. If you have any questions please let me know!

Amazing views & peaceful getaway!
This house is in the perfect location to relax and get away from the business of life. The view is outstanding and the deck is so spacious to spend time on. Beds were comfortable and kitchen was equipped well enough. We enjoyed the gas and pellet grills. The only immediate need is that the tv/sound system is terrible. The speakers are blown and the audio was horrible. This could be an easy fix. We were really looking forward to watching a movie after the sunset, but the sound was so terrible we had a difficult time. We all agreed we would absolutely stay there again, but would need to make sure this issue was addressed or bring our own tv/soundbar.

Getaway With the best view
We had an amazing stay at this property! We needed a place to live as our house had water damage and we came soon this house. The pictures do NOT do it justice as you will find as soon as you walk in the door! Very spacious, clean, cosy and truly a place to relax and reset. I had my wife , 5 month old and 2 dogs with me, Host was amazing and very communicative and understanding of our early check in/ out needs. Would highly recommend this property for you and your family as it’s a best kept secret with an amazing view. Will be returning soon !

Amazing home to get away from it all
Inspiration Point was an absolutely amazing weekend getaway. It was exactly what the doctor ordered. Comfortably furnished, quiet and relaxing. The back deck and hot tub are exactly what you need to unwind and get away from it all. Karen is a most amazing host. She is easy to communicate with and she make sure that everything is perfect. We will be coming back soon, I promise you that.

No doubt this house has a great view
Wonderful view. Quiet street. Perfect for the quiet weekend we were looking for!! Closest restaurants/grocery are either Rio Vista (limited) or 30 minutes to Cleburne (less limited). Kitchen has basic pots/ pans/utensils - what you need to cook. Outside grill is great! There is even a Traeger. Hot tub was nice. Though it does lean to one side, and will over flow. Be careful. The tub seemed level, so not sure if issue is tub or deck. TV has Dish. We brought our Roku to stream. Easy hook up as the TV was not very big and easy to move to find the port. Beds were comfortable and the sheets/towels were nice quality. We didn’t use the master bedroom as the picture window was blocked by a dresser. Another room has a similar window that is not blocked so we used that room. Lots of ceiling fans and good aircon airflow! House stayed very cool in the heat of the day and at night! Intake vents need a vacuum; most likely the reason for the dust spread in the house. We travel with Clorox wipes and put those to use. Loved the map of the area painted mural on the wall. Nice old world style that fit the decor of the house. The pictures don’t fully reveal the taxidermy on the walls, in case this isn’t your jam. Reminder that you do have to pay a refundable damage deposit. Not sure how damage is assessed or fixed when the renter leaves as there is obvious prior damage. Our deposit was refunded. Overall, house had a great view. We will return to the area, just not to this house.

This was a fantastic property, and we will definitely be back. Karen was very communicative. When a storm was rolling in, she invited us to protect our cars under the house. When we asked for a little later checkout, that was no issue. I can't wait to bring other friends for a gorl's weekend.
