Most cabin rentals near Dallas sleep four to six people. Then the cousins show up. If your group is closer to ten, a single big house on the water is easier than three cabins on three porches. Our barndominium in Eastland is that kind of place, about two hours west of Dallas on I-20, and it sits inside a riverfront RV park, so anyone who wants to bring a camper can park next door.
Quick answer: For a cabin style rental within about 2 hours of Dallas that sleeps a whole family, Inez Spring Riverfront RV Park in Eastland rents a 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom barndominium that sleeps 11, with a full kitchen and the Leon River running through the park. It is at Exit 343 on I-20, about 2 hours from Dallas and about 1 hour 35 minutes from Fort Worth. See rates on the booking page.
A barndominium is a metal or barn style building finished inside as a full home, usually with an open great room, a big kitchen and several bedrooms under one roof. For a group, it does what a cabin does, plus room for everyone to eat at the same time.

Drive times from how-far.net for Dallas and Fort Worth, read October 10, 2026. Traffic leaving the Metroplex on a Friday can add time, so plan to clear Fort Worth before the evening rush. The full drive breakdown is in how far Eastland is from Dallas.
Space and one shared table. A typical cabin near Dallas has one living room and one small kitchen, and a group of ten ends up split across two or three units. In the barndominium, the kitchen, the great room and the movie room are all in one building. Breakfast is one pot of coffee, not three.
The trade off is honest: a barndominium is not a log cabin in the pines. It is a big, comfortable house on a river in open Texas country. If you want a tiny cabin for two, this is not it. If you want the whole family under one roof, it is.
Plenty without getting back in the car. The Leon River runs through the park. Bring a kayak and launch it at our private launch, or fish from the bank for bass, catfish and sunfish. There are walking paths along the river, picnic tables, grills and a fire pit for the evening.
Short drives fill the rest of a weekend:
Take the total from the booking page for your dates and divide it by the number of adults or by household. That gives you a fair number to compare with hotel rooms. Two families who would each book two hotel rooms are usually the people who do this math first.
If part of your group travels by RV, the math changes again. Nightly RV sites start from $40 with full hookups, 30 and 50 amp, and pull-throughs up to 100 feet. Tent sites start from about $31. The house holds the people who want a bed, and the campers park nearby and walk over for dinner. You can compare camping options from Dallas in camping near Dallas, about 2 hours out.
Book holidays and long weekends early. Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year and the January 3-day weekends are when families most want one house for everyone, and there is only one barndominium. Winter weekends outside the holidays are quieter. Eastland is not warm in winter, with hard freezes some nights, so the house heat and the fire pit both get used. Spring brings the white bass run up the Leon River and green banks along the water.
Yes, on our RV sites. If anyone in your family is between homes, on a work contract near Abilene or simply wants a quiet month on the river, we rent monthly RV sites: $500 for a back-in or $650 for a pull-through, plus your own metered electric at 17 cents per kWh. The deposit is $200 and refundable, and terms are month to month. Your real monthly total is site rent plus what your own meter records.

Pets are welcome on our RV and tent sites, leashed and up to two. The barndominium itself is not a standard pet rental, so call the office before you book to ask about your dog.
