About this property

Cute cozy cottage with in-ground lap pool! Enjoy the summer in the back yard!

This cute cottage was completely remodeled in 2019 and sleeps six! You will find it has high-end furnishings and feels like a true Vacation home with great pops of color! We've actually had several guests tell us it's the best vacation home they have ever stayed in as far as condition and amenities. The master bedroom is very large with one king bed and two twins (trundle). The secondary bedroom sleeps two with one queen bed. Each bedroom has a private bath with one bath having access through the hall, as well. Both baths have been beautifully remodeled. The kitchen boasts granite counter tops and stainless appliances. There are plenty of dishes, pot and pans, utensils and glasses. Also included in the kitchen is a blender, two coffee makers, a crock pot and toaster. It has all you will need! The thing that actually makes the home so quaint and gives the feel of a cottage are the plantation shutters, as well as the screened door leading to the fenced back patio (to contain little ones from the lap pool). The back patio overlooks the refreshing lap pool (heats like a spa, though not a hottub), as well as a large gazebo! The neighborhood is extremely quiet and has huge trees throughout, as well as a couple of lovely lakes. It's a wonderful place to just walk and enjoy nature. This home is a true gem, and we are confident you will enjoy your stay as many others have! Not only that...it's super convenient to major highways...George Bush and Central Expressway. Interstate 30 is approximately a 10-15 minute drive and Dallas North Tollway is about a 10-15 minute drive in the opposite direction, as well! Just be sure to take a look at the reviews for honest opinions of the property!

Getaway to Dallas Area

We had a great stay here. The house was very clean and well located. The pool was perfect size and the house provided shade over the pool for several hours of the day to provide relief from the summer heat. The neighborhood also felt very safe. Overall, we really enjoyed everything about this property!

We had a great stay here. Small heated backyard pool made it perfect as March temps would have been a little cold for swimming. Great response time from the owner (had one dumb question). Thanks for letting us stay in your home. Would do it again!

Quick stay

Came to Dallas to visit some family for a weekend. The neighborhood was quiet and very convenient to where we needed to be near. The house was very comfortable and clean. This is an older home so if you are looking for a roomier or open concept floor plan this would not be a good fit!

My husband and I had a lovely stay here reconnecting and the idea of enjoying the city! Sadly we had gotten sick and didn't leave the house once. But we were fully spoiled with good food. Clean housing and wonderful atmosphere!! Can not say in words how much we needed and enjoyed this place. Thank you so much

Quiet, relaxing home

This was exactly what we needed that weekend! The house had everything we needed, a couple of items needed attention in the master bath. The toilet fill Valve got stuck everytimr we flushed, requiring us to lift the tank lid and jiggle it to get the tank to fill back up. Also, the handle for switching the shower from overhead to handheld fell off every time I touched it. Probably just needs a screw tightened, but it was loud and annoying every time it clanged to the floor. Overall, a nice experience. We would’ve like to have a tv in the bedroom, but it wasn’t a deal-breaker for us.

Perfectly-sized spa retreat

My friend & I loved our 4-night stay in this lovely, quiet garden home. It’s the perfect size for 4 adults or families with small children. Close to everything one wants or needs in Richardson, N Garland, Plano, Murphy/Wylie & near major highways to traverse DFW metroplex. The refreshing pool is nice for hot Texas summers, & jet tub in master bathroom was therapeutic after a long day of traveling hither & fro around Dallas. I would’ve given it 5 stars, if not for a minor issue. We were unable to utilize the gazebo without cleaning it ourselves. Not possible given our itinerary. I definitely want to stay at this lovely home again. Well done!!! 2 thumbs up!!

Cozy & Comfortable

We really enjoyed our stay in this very cute, clean, well designed cottage equipped with everything you would possibly need. The home is exactly like it is pictured with very nice finishes. The extra amenities such as coffee & cookies were much appreciated. The private garage & pool area were a real bonus!! The hosts were very easy to communicate with. Will definitely return if our travels bring us to the area again. Thank you for a lovely stay.

This house was located in a great location. Near a park and plenty of restaurants around. Very clean and nice place to stay. The kitchen was very well stocked which isn’t the least the case in rentals like this. The hot tub is a great feature as well. I will definitely stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Sharon Arnold

Host profile image
We started out as empty nesters a few years back with one other vacation rental in downtown Plano. We had so much fun talking to people and sharing our home, that we decided to launch home number "2" this year. My husband, Sam, is retired after 31 years at Raytheon and I'm a residential appraiser, as well as a local real estate agent. We have two grown sons that are both married and the "cutest" grandson EVER!

Why they chose this property

I walked in the door to list this property for the lady that owned it, and it just "grabbed" me and reeled me in! It's just a really cute home...and I do mean cottage like cute. That day, as I left there I asked if I could bring my husband back to see it before we listed it, fully expecting him to tell me I was crazy. HA! However, he walked in and apparently it "grabbed" him, as well, because he turned to me and said "let's do it". That's how we became the proud owners. We had no clue we were even looking for another home, but it just seemed right. HA!

What makes this property unique

We both loved the fact it had plantation shutters everywhere and also the fact that there is a small greenbelt behind the property. The property feels very private, both in the front and back yards. We just fell in love with it and could see the potential of a relaxing vacation home...or possibly a home to downsize to one day!
