We loved everything about this beautiful, historic home! There was plenty of space for our party of 7. We were in Wylie for a Pampered Chef Leadership Retreat and we loved all of the space that the home offered us. We used the large dining room table for our meals and to work. The kitchen is a big plus as well! It is fully stocked. Colton was great to work with. He was prompt to reply and help us with anything we needed. Like others have said, you will want to bring ear plugs as the house is on a main street. We also brought fans to help add white noise and to help circulate the air in the bedrooms. We will 100% stay in this beautiful home again. Looking forward to our next visit!

Gina P.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Disliked: Communication
Communication was delayed at the beginning, with no contact during the week prior to the event. The host also did not inform me about road construction directly in front of the house, which made it confusing for guests to find the place and difficult to park. That said, the house itself was very cute. Events are welcomed but higher in price so I advise reaching out for estimates before booking.

Thank you for sharing your feedback and kind comments about your stay at Olde House, Gina. It was our pleasure hosting you and your group during the Holiday season. I'm not able to find any specific examples of delayed communication in our conversations starting in November through December, but I'm always willing to listen to how we could improve if you feel we were not quick enough to respond or any other concerns you may have had. Feel free to reach out to me directly if you'd like to share your thoughts on the experience, so we can do better for you next time. Come back to see us again soon and stay a while!
