This house was perfect for our family weekend! My fur babies loved the backyard, it was very relaxing grilling and watching tv under the gazebo, and the hot tub was great! Very quiet neighborhood, the water in the pool was a little too cold to swim but was very clean and well maintained! Camilla was an excellent host and we will definitely stay here again!
I wish I had discovered this home earlier, as it was an ideal match for our group. It comfortably accommodates us with its spacious, open-concept layout that includes three distinct living areas: a cozy lounge, a media room, and a formal dining space. The house features multiple access points—two front entrances, a side door leading to the backyard, and sliding doors from the living room—that provide convenient entry from various directions. Its array of engaging activities includes a fully equipped game room with a pool table and a shuffleboard, as well as a home theater with surround sound and plush seating. I especially loved the expansive patio, which boasts a large, rectangular dining table made of reclaimed oak, surrounded by eight cushioned chairs, and enhanced by charming outdoor lighting stringed overhead—an inviting space for memorable outdoor meals and lively gatherings under the stars.
My family and I had a wonderful time here! House was very clean and cozy. The crib and high chair, coupled with the ample amount of space and huge backyard, made it a wonderful and smooth trip for our 1 year old daughter. We loved spending time in the backyard, specifically the awesome swing set! To top it off, I accidentally left a nice jewelry item at the house and hours after leaving town contacted the owner and they quickly helped me find it and confirmed that they had it and would get it back to me. Highly recommend all around!
The house was in great condition, and the outdoor area was amazing. The pool, hot tub, patio, fire pit, and games provided offered plenty of different areas and activities throughout our stay. We were more than pleased with our stay and stayed at the house more than expected due to the variety of activities that kept us busy longer than we expected.
We had two families traveling together and wanted a space for things to do close to the city and also keep kiddos entertained back at the house! The outdoor space was lovely, plenty of space indoors as well. The host was friendly and we received perfectly detailed instructions for our stay!
We had 4 adults and 8 kids stay for multiple nights and there was enough space for everyone. The yard kept the kids and adults equally entertained. Camilla was quick to respond and answer questions amd was very accommodating. I would definitely stay here again!
We were a group of 8 ranging from late 20s to early 50s and everyone LOVED this place. We were in the yard all day unless we were out of the house, showering or sleeping. The pool is so amazing. I was worried bc it says it isn’t heated but it was super warm and absolutely perfect. Great spot!!
Best house and host ever! The house is even more beautiful in person—both inside and out. The backyard is fantastic, with a wonderful pool and plenty of space for activities. During our stay, a bad storm caused a power outage, but the host was exceptional in communicating updates. They even offered us an alternate house to get ready in if the power didn’t return in time for our event. I’ll definitely be booking here again the next time I’m in Dallas!
Needs some updating. The coy pond they had, had no fish in it and it was a breeding ground for mosquitoes. The host was very nice. My recommendation for the pool is that it gets checked on daily or every other day. It was cloudy when we checked in on Sunday.

Hi Rick, thank you for staying with us! We do not claim to have a koi pond like you mentioned, nor any koi fish so you may have got confused with another property. Our pool is cleaned professionally on a regularly scheduled basis. Unfortunately sometimes rain and other inclement weather can impact the pool, but we had it cleaned again the very next morning after your arrival. We do mention on our listing that it is an older home, so although it has been updated, I understand you may have preferred a newer home.
We had a very enjoyable stay. Everyone was very comfortable and we loved the quality time we got to spend together with family. The host was extremely communicative and kind.
… with that said, I want to offer some constructive criticism I will message the host about directly. I think the house needs a little “TLC”. Meaning, it was a little run down in comparison to the immaculate photos listed on the VRBO website. I think if this is done, to reflect more accuracy, it’ll be somewhere we’d love to come back to. Thank you for having us!!
The house was very nice, especially the backyard. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool and outdoor area. The house was mostly clean, except for the master bathroom. There was hair in the shower from the previous visitors. There was also a beer bottle left on a window sill and toys and ponytail holders by the pool. Most of the pool floats were broken, so we were not able to use those. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.
Grass wasn't mowed
Outside furniture is old and dirty
House is old with an odd layout
Nothing like the pictures

Hi Greg, our yard service mows weekly and we bought all the outdoor furniture in 2022 with the exception of a few foldable chairs that are just optional extra seating. We would have definitely sent our yard guy and/or cleaners to the house immediately to fix anything for you had you alerted us about any issue, but we never heard a word from you during your stay. We’re sorry if the house did not meet your expectations and thanks for staying with us.
Me and 11 of my friends stayed here last weekend. The house is exactly what the pictures show. It was clean, easy to check in, had all the amenities, and great communication with the host. We had a few hiccups, but the host resolved them asap even when they weren’t in town. Everyone said they slept great and the beds were comfortable (which is very rare), the decor was so minimal and cute, parking was great, I like how we had access to the garage, never lagged on the wifi, loved that they supply shampoo and conditioner, even though we had 11 people, we never felt cramped, 3 bathrooms, the room closest to the kitchen has barn doors so they said they could hear us in the kitchen very easily, but it wasn’t to end of the world. I loved this place and would definitely stay here again and I would recommend it to anyone!! Thank you for great customer service and providing an awesome house!! Also, this seems like a vacation home/rental (no family pictures, personal belongings, or signs of long term stay. I liked that feeling. I hate rentals that are also people’s actual homes. Kinda creepy).
Our family had a hard year and decided to meet in person from 3 different states to address some branding needs in our respective companies. We didn’t want to make it feel like work for the teens, so we looked for a resort like home with Wi-Fi, computers, pool, kitchen, etc.
This home was perfect. It was too cold for swimming and we were too busy to jump in the hot tub. But the creative juices were flowing with the well laid out backdrop. It was close to downtown Dallas, but in a quiet neighborhood. Pretty much every amenity needed was on site. The only issues we had was that our Teslas did not fit in the garage because of the washers and dryers and I could not find any scissors. Didn't know the garage had a dryer outlet or I would have brought my EV charger. But the neighborhood was fine and we had no problems parking in the driveway nor finding nearby charging stations.
The kids were very impressed with the set ups to connect gaming systems and electronics plus the open floor plan was great for meetings and meals. We were thankful that all 3 baths were full baths for our large party. We even had groceries delivered to the cleaning crew before our arrival so that we could maximize our time. We would definitely book here again.
The backyard is simply amazing. The only thing I would mention is that only 1 bedroom has a connected bathroom. I believe that is listed correctly but the room that is the primary bedroom has two beds with the connected bathroom. It wasn’t a problem for us at all. And we loved the living room/dining area too.
We rented this house for our out of town family coming in to celebrate a special birthday. The yard was amazing for entertaining young kids, while the covered patio was the perfect spot for adults to relax and supervise the kiddos. Camilla was super accommodating for our requests and needs.
