Garden Cottage, Far From The Maddening Crowd but so close to the night life!
This 550 sq ft private cottage, built in the 1940's is 15 minutes from the Arts District, 7 minutes from Bishop Arts, 15 minutes to World Trade Center, close to downtown, but quiet & secluded, nestled at the end of a cul de sac on Cedar Creek in Elmwood, Oak Cliff. With private gardens, Texas natives, mature shady trees, front porch with chairs, it's a perfect spot to unwind and relax after a day of exploring the many sights in Dallas or Ft. Worth, or a comfortable retreat to spend on contemplation & reflection after a day of work. The cottage is very quiet and private. Queen bed with high quality bedding, fluffy towels, robes. Large shower with quality shampoos, conditioners & soaps/shower gels. You also have an outdoor patio with chiminea supplied with wood and seating as well as table & chairs for dining al fresco. You will feel that you are in the country but so close to night life. It is also perfect for honeymoons, with lots of privacy and romantic touches. Right next to cottage is your own private parking under a carport. Right next to cottage we have just built a small dog run with a gate off of the porch. No big dogs. Note: This property does NOT have a fenced yard. Dogs must be on leashes when outside and not in dog run. Across the driveway is the main house where we live. We can offer catered dinners in the very romantic backyard of this historic home, rumored to be a haunt of Bonnie & Clyde, as it was a speakeasy in the 1920’s. Come, relax, enjoy! We will treat each guest special with individually thought out goodies!

We are both Texans and grew up in Dallas, so if you need recommendations or a guided tour around town, we are available to help. Respecting your privacy, we are always on hand to answer any and all questions and are committed to making your stay a one of a kind experience.
Why they chose this property
The main house on the property was built in circa 1900 and has been through many metamorphoses. In the 1920's it was a well known "speakeasy" and gambling and dance hall. When we renovated the property in 1999, we found game table rivets in the floor. The back was originally the front of the property with a bridge over the creek. Rumor has it that lights would be shown up through the small cupola tower to let guests know if the club was open or not. This property comes alive at night with an ambience of frivolity and joy! We Iive right across the driveway in the main house.
What makes this property unique
We are at the end of a cul de sac on 3/4 or an acre, and although we are so close to the city, it is quiet and peaceful, and very private next to a creek with guest private gardens.
