Equine-Friendly Getaway on 7.5 Acres – Rustic Charm & Room for Your Horses

Welcome to Walnut Creek Retreat — Your Rustic Cottage-Chic Hideaway

Escape the everyday and unwind at Walnut Creek Retreat, a thoughtfully restored western cottage nestled on our peaceful 7.5-acre homestead between Boyd and Decatur, Texas. This private guest house, full of vintage soul and modern comfort, invites you to slow down, breathe deep, and savor the beauty of the countryside—just a short drive from the heart of town.



🐴 Equine-Friendly & Horse-Ready

Bringing horses? You’re in the right place. With open space for trailer parking and peaceful pastures nearby, Walnut Creek Retreat is equine-friendly and ideal for guests attending nearby NRS events, local rodeos, or simply traveling with four-legged companions. Saddle up, stretch out, and rest easy—this stay was made for riders and their horses.



🛏️ The Space

Step inside and be welcomed by warm woods, whitewashed walls, and handpicked, thrifted treasures that make the space feel both curated and comfortable. The retreat is located just behind our main home, giving you privacy while still offering the sense of safety and belonging that comes with staying on a family-run property.

Features include:
• 1 cozy bedroom with a queen bed and soft linens
• A sleeper sofa in the living room for additional guests
• Fully equipped kitchen with farmhouse touches
• Coffee bar stocked with essentials for slow mornings
• Stylish bathroom with a walk-in shower and fresh towels
• Fast Wi-Fi and a smart TV for streaming or working remotely
• Charming indoor touches like antique furniture and cozy throws



🌄 Outdoor Living

Step out onto your private porch and take in the big Texas sky. The west-facing view is perfect for evening sunsets and stargazing. Wander the property, meet our friendly farm dogs, or sit by the gas fire pit out back with a warm drink in hand.

Highlights:
• Rocking chairs and love seat under string lights
• Outdoor bar area with seating for relaxing or dining
• Gas fire pit perfect for cool nights and meaningful conversations
• Fresh herbs growing right outside your door
• Optional equine accommodation (ask for details)



🐓 Life on the Land

We’re a working homestead, and you may spot chickens roaming, hear the distant sound of livestock, or catch a glimpse of a morning deer through the trees. It’s quiet out here—and we like it that way. Country life brings beauty, stillness, and the occasional visitor like mice, bugs, or scorpions, so we like to keep expectations real and relaxed.



📍 Perfectly Located

Just minutes from NRS Arena and a short drive to both Boyd and Decatur, Walnut Creek Retreat offers the best of both worlds: a country escape with convenient access to events, local eats, antique stores, and western boutiques. Whether you’re in town for a rodeo, wedding, trail ride, or just a quiet getaway, we’re glad to host you.



🐾 Friendly Notes
• We have three sweet, well-behaved farm dogs who may greet you with a tail wag.
• Instructions for the back patio fire pit can be found on the refrigerator.
• The retreat is behind our main home, but you’ll have your own private space and entrance.
• Please let us know in advance if you’re bringing horses—we’d love to accommodate!



Come Stay at Walnut Creek Retreat—Where Western Charm Meets Restful Simplicity.
Bring your boots, your horse, and your love for slow mornings. We can’t wait to welcome
