About this property

The Denton Street Holiday House, an 1893 Victorian in the Historic District

A unique opportunity to stay in a beautiful Victorian in the Gainesville Historic District! The 'Denton Street Holiday House' was built in 1893. This home has the original stained glass, wood floors and trim, and even the original doorbell! It is decorated for a Victorian Christmas year round! With almost 4000 sq. feet, you can sleep and entertain up to 8 guests. There are 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms and a full kitchen. There are many patios, including a balcony where you can enjoy your morning coffee, overlooking a 125 year old Oak tree. The backyard has a new porch swing and plenty of patio furniture to enjoy good weather. Located just 2 blocks from the square, featuring boutiques, an antique mall, restaurants, Landon Winery, Krootz Brewery, a farmer’s Market and food trucks. A short drive to many other Wineries, breweries, in the surrounding small towns in beautiful North Texas Hill Country. Less than 10 minutes to Winstar Casino! Minutes to Leonard Park and Frank Buck Zoo! The Historic District is walkable and quiet and quaint. Quiet hours are 10PM-8AM. There is a train that runs through town, but most people don’t notice it inside the house. If you do, we have air filters, fans, and ear plugs in every room. I have only had a few people that even notice it. You will love your time here, I try to stay in town any chance I get, it’s like stepping back in time!
