The Bunkhouse - Dog Friendly Airbnb Ft. Worth Area

Mar 17, 2019Last Modified: September 24, 2020

Toby at "The Bunkhouse" in Ft. Worth

We recently took a trip to the Ft. Worth area over New Year’s, and stayed at “The Bunkhouse,” a cozy guest cottage that we found on Airbnb.

The Bunkhouse is dog friendly (yay!) with approval from the awesome host, Cathy. The house has a fenced in yard in the back, where Toby (our St. Bernard) could run and stretch his legs.

The Bunkhouse - Pet Friendly, Peaceful, Affordable

It is not always easy to find a vacation rental that will accept large dogs, so we are so grateful for the opportunity to have been able to stay at this fantastic place.

This is the perfect place to stay if you are looking to stay in a peaceful and quiet setting. The cottage is off the main road and located down a country road. The Bunkhouse is located next to the main house, and has its own entrance and plenty of privacy.

The Bunkhouse is suitable for a couple (plus dog!), or a single traveler (plus dog!). It is located approximately 20 miles from Ft. Worth, and 10 miles from Weatherford, TX.

I’m always looking for affordable lodging that is pet friendly, and I hit the jackpot with The Bunkhouse! The cost was less than $100/night, and our hosts even provided delicious muffins from Central Market, drinks, snacks, and other goodies for us.

Save Money by Staying at Airbnb's

I am a huge fan of staying in Airbnb properties. They are unique, and many of them are very affordable. If you are traveling on a budget, staying in an Airbnb can save you a huge amount of money on food costs.

The Bunkhouse Kitchenette Area

The Bunkhouse has a small kitchenette area where you can create your own meals. The kitchenette includes a refrigerator, small hotplate, microwave, plates, cooking utensils, etc. There is also a BBQ grill for your enjoyment! We grilled some steaks Korean barbecue style (delicious!) on our last evening at the Bunkhouse.

The Bunkhouse as a Retreat

If you can't bear to leave The Bunkhouse, then settle in and relax! The cottage is pet friendly, and there is a policy that dogs should not be allowed on the furniture. However, the hostess Cathy gave us permission to allow Toby on the Love Sac (covered with a blanket). He LOVED the Love Sac, and we did too!

There is a great pool table in the cottage. You can spend hours relaxing just playing pool, reading, or watching a film. There is a large TV with satellite, and free wi-fi available for use.

In the mornings, open the curtains wide to reveal a lovely country setting. You can enjoy morning coffee on the couch or outside on the patio, and enjoy birdwatching.

About Me

Hi I’m Grace! I'm married and a mom to my fur baby, Toby, and food and travel are two of my greatest passions! Since our bank account does not allow us to travel or eat out as much as we'd like, I decided I would cook delicious meals that could give us a taste of all the places we'd like to go. My goal is to get you in the kitchen, and inspire you to cook and taste delightful meals that will transport you too. Let’s throw some actual travel in from time to time, all with an emphasis on keeping your wallet full and happy as well. Let’s get cooking and let’s start exploring!! I'm excited to be on this journey with you!!

By the way most of these recipes are Toby taste tested and Toby approved!!
