About this property

It offers ample space, making it suitable for groups of any size, and is perfect for intimate business trips and meetings. Located just a mile from downtown and directly on the trolley line, it provides easy access to Downtown and the sought-after Bishop Arts District, known for shopping and dining. The home features five spacious bedrooms that can comfortably sleep 17 guests. A large dining room with a table that seats 12 or more, along with a charming bar area off the living room, leads to an outdoor deck ideal for gatherings. An additional nightly guest fee applies for stays over 4 people to cover increased utility, linens, essentials, supplies, and cleaning costs. Amenities include cable TV in all bedrooms, high-speed internet, a fully stocked kitchen, and many other comforts. With its original character, history, and charm, "The Roux House" promises an enjoyable stay! Bienvenue!

ABSOLUTELY NO PARTIES OR SMOKING ALLOWED. The house is equipped with noise and smoke sensors to detect excessive noise and smoke, helping prevent parties and unauthorized events. Security cameras are installed on the property's exterior at all corners, covering the driveway and entrances to ensure safety for the home and guests.

There is a tenant in the basement who has lived in the walk-in apartment for over 10 years. She doesn't have access to the main property. If you meet Michelle, she'll likely be helpful with questions about the property or local activities. She also keeps a good watch over the property. The house has a detached garage with an efficiency unit above it, where Jon has lived for nearly 10 years. You probably won't see him, as he's retired and seldom leaves his space. Neither Michelle nor Jon has access to the main property, and they are usually quiet and keep to themselves, so you probably won’t even realize they are there.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Hosted by Christopher Averite

Host profile image
I'm Christopher Averite, the owner of The Roux House since 2006. I lived here for more than 13 years before converting it into a vacation rental to honor my late dachshunds, Beaux and Roux. I couldn't think of a better tribute to my beloved fur-babies, so I named it "The Roux House." As a proud New Orleanian, I enjoyed decorating the home with local New Orleans flair. I've cherished owning this home for over 20 years, and I hope you will love and enjoy it as much as I do!

Why they chose this property

This home is conveniently situated near Downtown Dallas and the popular Bishop Arts District. It’s within walking distance of numerous shops, bars, and restaurants. The Dallas streetcar runs right in front of the house, providing easy access to Downtown or Bishop Arts, with the nearest stop just two houses away. I highly recommend exploring Bishop Arts for its food and entertainment options—you won’t be disappointed.

What makes this property unique

The woman who built this house in the early 1920s was Jack Ruby’s girlfriend. We spoke with her nephew, whom she raised in the home. He showed me a photo of himself as a child with Jack Ruby in front of their grand piano in my living room. A true piece of history! If you stand in the front yard and look diagonally across the street, you'll see a red-roofed house that was Lee Harvey Oswald’s residence during the Kennedy assassination. This house exudes charm and character, and you'll feel it the moment you step inside.
