Located in Garland, this holiday home is in a rural area and on the waterfront. Mesquite Golf Club and Sapphire Bay Marina are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those wishing to experience the area's natural beauty can explore Fair Park and Muddy Creek Nature Preserve. Looking to enjoy an event or a game while in town? See what's happening at Resistol Arena or Curtis Culwell Center. Jet skiing, kayaking and waterskiing offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with horse riding nearby.
Excellent vacation in a wonderful, well equipped house.Our dog really enjoyed the fact that the house was secure on all sides and could run around the entire property. We took full advantage of the hot tub and bar-b-que during our stay. The hens and access to fresh eggs were a pleasant surprise.Location wise, the property was ideal for the various day trips we made to down town Dallas and surrounding parks, to Fort Worth and to the state parks north of Dallas. Garland old town was a surprise too, very interesting.The propoert lived up to everything that was advertized and Steve, owner, was incredibly responsive to any questions we had.Strongly recommend to as a place to stay in the Dallas area
This home was so sweet and cozy. The owner is so very nice to work with. The chickens and horses were a hit for our families. There was a slight problem with the water freezing and his maintenance men were right there getting them thawed and they were very professional. Beautiful home to make family memories. Very lovely home!
We took our son, daughter and their families to visit the Ft Worth Zoo. This house was in a great central location for things in the area. It looked in person just as beautiful as it looked in the pictures online and was large enough to comfortably accommodate out group of 10!

Thank you for the kind words we work hard to make sure each and every stay is memorable and we appreciate each and every family that comes to share the property
I was with a group of four couples (so 8 adults) that travelled for a kid-free relaxing weekend with friends. We had a great time! The property was relaxing and so nice. Definitely recommending for friends and family
We had a lovely stay. The first floor master was perfect for my elderly father. The property was very clean and well maintained. Excellent customer service
We had everything we needed for a wonderful family trip! Our hosts were accommodating, the home was clean, well-stocked, and comfortable, and all the open spaces were perfect for us to all hang out together. Thank you, Steve!

Thanks for the kind words we work hard to make each stay great
This house is a great place for small gatherings. It's super clean and well maintained. There are plenty of places for hanging out. The lawns are beautiful. It's in town but you wouldn't know it once your on the property. Very private and very nice.
Steve was the most accommodating person you will ever have. He reached out several times during our stay to make sure everyone was good!! We couldn’t ask for a better host. Looking forward to our next trip out to book again!!!!

Wow great to have you guys come in town
Hope those Young men have a great Season
Beautiful Home! I booked the home for my husband’s 50th & our 15th Anniversary. It was amazing.
Steve was very helpful with communicating everything to do. He wants your family to make beautiful memories. Very nice & helpful. I suggest everyone stay & make memories 💜💜💜
This property is a little slice of heaven! It’s location makes it perfect to get up and go for shopping and dining and also enjoy the acreage it sits on with beautiful horses, chickens and the stocked pond. The host is super friendly and accommodated everything we needed. The house itself is amazing. Lots of updates and very clean. Loved the wooden floors and all the space in the kitchen. Great place to stay and we will be back!

Such a joy to read families enjoying the place thanks for kind words and stay
The property is definitely an oasis in the midst of a very suburban area, not far off of I-30. The backyard is delightful, even though there was some street noise. Everything was very clean, and suited our group of 4 couples. The kitchen was well equipped, which was great for us cooking all our meals there. This house was perfect for our needs.
Steve and his team were great, from booking all the way through check out. Communication was always quick and helpful. The property is beautiful, the home is spacious and well appointed. Exactly as described in the listing. It was too cold during our stay to spend much time outside, but we did use the hot tub one afternoon and sat around a big fire in the fire pit that evening. We, our children, and grandkids all had a great time and everyone agrees that we would stay here again without hesitation.

Thank you for the kind words we work hard to ensure every stay is special and it is a special property that's for sure to enjoy the family
A more distant get together was initially planned but health concerns changed the situation. This spot close to home gave the children horseback riding, kayaking, paddle boating and a hen house enclosure where they collected eggs. The adults enjoyed being together in one spot with a beautiful grilling area, a covered hot tub and flowers everywhere bringing beautiful butterflies. Everyone had fun with s’mores around the fire pit. The kitchen was well-equipped and the bedrooms comfortable. The host was always easy to contact and accommodating. This was our first experience renting and it was definitely a positive one.

It was such a joy having your family enjoy the place to the fullest
Thanks for making memories here
The property itself was GREAT! It’s a super cute farmhouse with a wonderful outdoor space. I only gave 4 stars for the “accuracy of the online listing” because the photo of the horse stables made me think we would have access to at least visit the horses but it is an official Riding School on the same property as the house and the stable staff wasn’t keen on us walking around and visiting the horses. Also gave 4 stars because the location/neighborhood isn’t the nicest but the house is gated so we felt safe. The owner was very nice and responded quickly! We would love to stay here again in the future!

The horse and stable and riding are all available as listed in the Welcome package all we ask is set up appointment so we can help watch for the children's safety
We set reserve time even for our guest to enjoy all the stable has to offer we just ask for a phone call so barn staff can help enjoy this safely
We really enjoyed our time while staying at this location. The property was beautiful and so was the home. The owner was very kind and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend.

Thank you for coming. It’s a joy to host wonderful families.
What a wonderfully fixed up farm house tucked away in a private corner of the city! House was beautiful and clean, we loved having the feel of our own private area and ability to see horses, chickens and have the lake activities. We will definitely do it again!
The host was amazing, attentive, and accommodating. The kids loved seeing the chickens and collecting eggs! Also, the main living area is away from the bedrooms. So, we could put the kids to bed and hangout without worrying about the noise levels. We had a great time!
