Great location, perfect for 2 people

The location was ideal to quickly get to all the things. But, the property feels like you’re in the country. My son and I stayed here and it was perfect. The owner greeted us shortly upon arriving and they were great at communicating. Highly recommend. We visit friends in the area at least once a year. We plan to stay here again on our next visit.

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy

Wouldn’t stay here for anything.

I didn’t get to stay or rebook due to emergencies with COVID and my premature niece being born. Maria was not kind with refunding even after 1 day of booking and when I responded, due to technical issues, the response didn’t go through and she just went ahead and kept the booking after letting her know I couldn’t come. I won’t be using VRBO ever again or using a woman who takes money without any issue.

We have a strict cancellation policy, our guests see that before booking. We encourage everyone to have a travel insurance, for this reason.

Peaceful overnight getaway

We enjoyed a quiet night away from home - just right for a special getaway as a treat for my 12yo and me. The check-in process was easy, everything was quiet and clean. Definitely recommend for 1-2 guests!

Wonderful Room

This tiny house was a perfect base for a weekend of exploring the DFW area. The place was homey and very clean. There AC worked well for a middle of the summer stay. The location felt like it was well in the country, but everything we needed was within a short drive. Highly recommend!
