About this property
A 1921 Craftsman with Charm in Tyler!
Welcome to Claire — a 1921 Craftsman filled with charm and a dash of Southern sass. Nestled beneath the trees of Tyler’s historic Charnwood District, she’s a gracious hostess with stories in her floorboards and hospitality in her bones. Inside, you’ll find two cozy bedrooms with just the right creak to remind you she’s been around the block, along with a moody study perfect for writing, working, or late-night scheming — complete with two sofa beds. The full kitchen is stocked for every mood, from coffee mugs to cocktail tumblers to that one glass that somehow makes water taste better. Vintage touches mingle with modern comforts, including Wi-Fi (because even a grand old lady keeps up with the times). A spacious yard invites sunrise coffee, sunset frisbee, and stargazing in between. Whether you’re sipping lemonade on the porch, curled up with a book in the study, or plotting your next East Texas adventure, Claire is ready to welcome you like the classy Southern lady she is…with a wink.

About the host
Hosted by Sandra Gonsalves
Hi there! I’m Sandra—a happily married mom of four, plus two fluffy “kids” of the four-legged variety: a sheepdog and a poodle mix who could pass for a tiny sheep. When I’m not wrangling kids or doling out belly rubs, you’ll find me with a book in one hand and a passport (or a fork) in the other. I love to write, read, and explore new places—especially if there’s good food involved. Hosting is my way of sharing a little slice of comfort, charm, and hospitality with fellow wanderers. Whether you’re here to relax, explore, or eat your way through town, I can’t wait to welcome you like an old friend!
Why they chose this property
I chose Tyler because it’s a little slice of East Texas magic—where rose gardens bloom bigger, sunsets linger longer, and Southern hospitality isn’t just a saying, it’s a way of life. It’s the kind of place where you can sip coffee on a shady porch in the morning, wander through historic streets by afternoon, and end the day with BBQ under a sky full of stars. I wanted to give guests a cozy home base to soak it all in, and my 1921 bungalow felt like the perfect match for this charming town.
What makes this property unique
Claire isn’t just a place to drop your bags—she’s a grand old soul, a 1921 Craftsman bungalow who’s been charming guests for over a century. Inside, she’s got all the comforts a modern traveler could want—cozy bedrooms with cloud-like mattresses dressed in crisp 100% cotton sheets, a sassy little study with extra sleeping space, and a kitchen ready for everything from slow Sunday breakfasts to late-night cookie raids. Gather in the formal dining room, where stories flow as easily as sweet tea and every meal feels a little more special. But step out back and you’ll see where she really shines—a yard so big, kids can run ‘til they’re giggling breathless, while grown-ups sip coffee, swap stories, or watch the sunset paint the sky. All of this sits in Tyler’s historic Charnwood District, where the trees are tall, the neighbors wave, and Southern hospitality isn’t just a gesture—it’s a way of life.
