Historic Dr. Flowers Home / Luxury Soaking Tub / Near Dallas’ Top 5 Restaurants
## THE FLOWERS RETREAT | HISTORIC 5BR DALLAS GETAWAY NEAR TOP RESTAURANTS, NIGHTLIFE & ATTRACTIONS
Why choose between location and space when you can have both?
Most Dallas accommodations put you close to the action but leave your group spread across multiple hotel rooms or squeezed into a small apartment.
The Flowers Retreat offers something rare: a spacious historic home where your entire group can stay together while remaining just minutes from Dallas' most popular restaurants, nightlife, shopping districts, sporting venues, and entertainment destinations.
Whether you're planning a couples getaway for 4 couples, girls' retreat, bachelorette weekend, birthday celebration, family reunion, FIFA World Cup™ adventure, or a unique historical experience, The Flowers Retreat was designed for connection, comfort, and unforgettable memories.
Imagine gathering around the firepit for girl talk under the stars, a group of couples enjoying wine on the balcony after dinner, hosting a couples pajama party or game night with family, soaking in a bubble bath after a day of shopping, or simply reconnecting with the people who matter most.

Overall was ok, instructions were good for check in and check out. Fridge handle was messed up and listing showed 2 sets of bunk beds but we only found one.
Checking in was a breeze. Everything was setup so nice. The little gift bag of snacks was also just so perfect for me and my people. The whole house was a vibe. Loved every bit of the stay. Would recommend and book again. Thanks Renae!!
