Flintlock is the height of luxury in a bucolic setting. Wake to the sounds of birds chirping, cattle lowing and a wonderful nights rest in a guesthouse designed by world renowned interior designer Denise McGaha and her husband Scott. Flintlock is a destination for couples wanting to escape big city life and who love the great outdoors and ranch living. Sunset views from the guesthouse include a fire pit, and private seating area.

 

Flintlock is a working ranch and you will see goats and cattle wander the property and free range chickens and guinea fowl provide a view into country life. The former dairy barn for the guesthouse has been luxuriously renovated with custom linens, monogrammed towels and even heated marble floors. Belgian lime plaster walls provide texture and warmth and a full kitchen and separate bar create everything you need to create an intimate candelight dinner for two.

 

Want to escape with friends for a weekend enjoying the hiking in LBJ Grasslands, or the back property of Flintlock? There is a vintage Airstream trailer across from the guesthouse with luxurious bedding, down pillows and an ice-cold air conditioner. The trailer boasts a kitchen and undercabinet fridge. The Airstream is included in your stay whether you choose to use it or not, so privacy to guests is guaranteed.

 

Amenities in the guesthouse include an ice machine, vintage bar sink that was once part of the dairy barn and custom tile backsplash and Poseidon marble floors in the bath. Kilim rugs and seagrass keep the vibe casual but elevated and a custom iron chandelier warms the space. Artwork and accessories are one of a kind and this getaway will be on your list time and time again. Flintlock is private, luxurious and the perfect spot for those who need a little bit of peace and quiet while enjoying five star amenities.

 

Decatur is known for beautiful rolling hills and vistas, amazing Mexican food, BBQ and a vibrant downtown area. Each summer, the town comes alive for Wise County Old Settlers Reunion, hosted on the fairgrounds. Live music, food trucks and a carnival provide entertainment to all who attend this once a year family-friendly event.

 

Flintlock is nestled near a family owned Decatur Garden Center with an entire greenhouse of succulents and rare varieties of plants. The family also owns a large pecan orchard and fresh pecans are available for sale. Russell Feed boasts an impressive selection of items for those who raise chickens and the local Star C Dairy offers raw milk, eggs and cream available for purchase on the honor system. Numerous Farmers Markets offer fresh, in-season produce and canned goods.

A trip to Flintlock is just what the soul needs to escape the hustle and bustle of city life.
