This was a really cute house. It is a little bit out of the way however it’s a nice little getaway. It was very clean and smelled amazing. The check in and checkout process was very smooth. Just an overall great stay. (There is a railroad right next to it which you can hear throughout the day/night however they do provide ear plugs.)

Awesome

In town for my son's wedding and wanted to stay in a more rural area. This home is far enough out of the city for me but close enough to be convenient to town. It was a very relaxing place even with the trains.The host was perfect and very responsive with any questions you may have. I really did enjoy this place.

The area, properties around the house are a bit dilapidated. It needs to be clear that train tacks are 20 feet from the house and trains actively run on it day and night. The train literally shakes the house.

Scarborough Faire Wedding

The Texas Country experience was our pursuit, and Kim's place fit perfecrtly, with the area weekend assembly for our daughter's wedding. The house was roomy and comfortable, with all the amenities, and was decorated with country charm. It was quiet and nicely located for our Waxahatchee activity and the DFW and Love Field airport runs. The trains were neat too.

We loved this place! Everything was perfect for our little family and our dog. The whole family ran outside to watch the train go by. It did not affect our sleep at all, the house is just so comfortable. We look forward to returning in the future!

Lovely getaway!

We loved our stay. They countryside is beautiful, the property is very well kept and clean. The decor is beautiful and the porch was fantastic. Host was very quick to answer me if I sent any message, and was simply a pleasure to communicate with. The occasional trains were a novelty for my daughter- excited to count cars, and we didn’t even use the earplugs left for us at night- but they are such thoughtful hosts to provide them for those that might want them! Will definitely stay again on a future visit to waxahachie!
