About this property

Comfy Whole House Near Downtown and Caddo Lake

Hi, thank you for taking the time to consider our home. We hope you will find everything you're looking for. If you need anything at all, please do not hesitate to contact us. We'll get back to you just as soon as we can.

Our passion is creating "comfi" spaces for people who need a home away from home. We believe you'll find our home is professionally designed with comfort and safety in mind.

In this new-normal era of social distancing, we want you to still have connections to your loved ones and your favorite entertainment. So we have provided WiFi internet and mounted smart TVs in each bedroom. So bring your Netflix or Hulu password and stay in touch with your world.

Book this entire house for your next trip to Marshall. You will find that this homey 3-bedroom 1.5 bath place was designed with your comfort in mind. We tried to provide all the necessities as well as a few luxuries for your enjoyment. And if you need anything, Marshall is so small you can get almost anywhere in town within 10-15 minutes. Welcome to the Piney Woods.

This is my 2-story brick house. You will find that the lower level houses the living and dining rooms, sitting room, half-bath, full kitchen and laundry/office. It is easy to get a good night's rest upstairs as the upper level has three comfortably furnished bedrooms. Choose from two queen-sized beds and one king-sized bed. For additional sleeping space, the couch pulls out into a full bed. Featuring hardwood floors throughout, the home has separate thermostats for the living areas downstairs and the sleeping areas upstairs. The upstairs thermostat is located in the largest bedroom adjacent to the full bathroom. The downstairs thermostat is located in the living room, just adjacent to the bookshelf.

For your convenience we have provided High speed wifi, Smart TVs in each bedroom and the living area, a full-sized washer and dryer and stainless steel kitchen appliances. Kitchenware, towels, sheets, bathroom, paper towels, detergent, shampoo, conditioner and shower gel are all provided for you.

There is off-road parking for two vehicles. Additional cars can park on the road. You have access to the entire house, with the exception of the garage which we are using for storage. We provide a hair dryer and iron, and a built-in ironing board is ingeniously stored in a laundry closet that is original to the home.

While you are here, this is your home. I will not be on the premises, however I am available by cellphone. Should you need anything, please do not hesitate to call me. My home is located in a peaceful residential neighborhood with mature trees and quaint homes. The neighbors will be happy to meet you and get to know you. Like in many small towns, Marshall residents are hospitable and kind once they get to know you. Introduce yourself and you might get invited in for a cup of coffee or a soda.

Although there are no sidewalks, the streets are not busy, so neighbors take leisurely walks quite commonly. On a nice afternoon, it is not surprising to see several families walking or riding bikes through the streets. You will need a car in Marshall, as there is not a great public transit system. Cycling as a form of transportation may not be very safe, as there are no bike lanes. And I love walking in the neighborhood, both because there is little traffic, and also because you may run in to some of our friendly neighbors. There are several options for getting to Marshall. The Amtrak train has a depot in Marshall, located at 800 North Washington St. This information is accurate when I last checked, but you should verify times and prices when you plan your trip. As of the time I am writing, the train is scheduled to depart towards Longview and Dallas once everyday at 7:50AM. The fare to Dallas is $25 one way and takes approximately 3hrs and 40 minutes. The return trip is scheduled to leave Dallas' Union station at 3:40 PM daily and arrive in Marshall at 7:01PM. It is also possible to get to Marshall by Greyhound bus once daily. It is located at 304 Interstate Hwy 20 E. If you wish to fly to Marshall, you can take a convenient flight to Longview (GGG) or Tyler (TYR), TX or to Shreveport (SHV), LA. These regional airports are about 30 -50 minutes away, with Longview being closest. The last time I checked, American, Delta, Allegiant and United Airlines flew to Shreveport. Only American airlines flies to Tyler. And it appears that American is also the most popular airline to Longview. The local hospital is within 7 minutes walking distance. The local courthouse and square are within 15 minutes walk or 5 minutes drive. Wiley College, East Texas Baptist University and Texas Community College are all a short drive away.
Caddo Lake State Park and other state parks are less than an hour away, and afford a wonderful day trip for boating, fishing, hiking, or just relaxing in the Piney Woods. In the Christmas season, enjoy the iconic Wonderland of Lights festival, complete with Santa's workshop, Ice Skating, Clydesdale Horses, festive music and of course, the dazzling Christmas Lights. Remember all of the bedrooms are upstairs, so if you have mobility issues, this needs to be kept in mind.

We have taken the extra step of ensuring that our Clean Team disinfects all frequenty touched surfaces, including doornobs, light switches, and handles. And all hard surfaces are also deep cleaned to kill 99.9% of germs. Our home is professionally cleaned and disinfected after each guest checks out, so you can rest assured that every effort has been made to assure safety.

We provide a doorbell camera and security system with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors as well as motion detectors. So you can concentrate on the primary reason for your visit to our area..

First time VRBO
Pictures and in person was different but nothing which deterred us. Lots of mosquitoes in the front entrance and my thoughts because of soo many trees. Ants on the door frame and on the front porch because it's an older house maybe built in 50s or later. Check in was a bit of a hassle because neither code I tried worked so Vanessa set another code and had no problems. Inside has been renovated and is very comfortable. If you have any disabilities like us, the house may not be ideal. There are stairs going up to the bedrooms. The house was extremely hot the temp was set on 80 for the top and bottom so the first night it took a while to cook off. Only 1 full bathroom for 3 bedrooms so could be an issue if you have friends or family. There is a small Harry Potter bathroom under the stairs but it's a half but works well. The 3 bedrooms are nice, again homey puts you at ease. The full bathroom has everything you need (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, lots of towels). The shower/tub combo did drain extremely slow to the point where you stood in water almost to your ankle. Also the master bedroom light/fan combo remote is broken. So my husband had to unscrew the light on the combo to use the fan. Told Vanessa about both but the remote is extremely old so we continued to unscrew the light at night to use the fan. We put draino down the tub and it started to drain faster. Kitchen has everything you could need but when we walked in I saw a 4 inch dead roach and freaked. My husband had to take it out in the trash which roaches petrify me. But again we would only be here for 2 nights. The small backyard was ideal for our Service Dogs with both of us having medical issues. DoorDash provided a local meal from a Mexican restaurant which was DELICIOUS...not once but twice! If you are over 6" like my husband then showering is rough. He would run into the chandeliers hanging down and he couldn't raise his arms up in the shower. Neighborhood is an older community but I like that. For some it could be run down. Remember old school charm not new modern house. The question I ask myself is will I stay VRBO probably not I have decided I'm a hotel type person. However if you like old school charm, then this house is for you.

Delightful and Cozy Home!
The property was as advertised and exceeded my expectations. The home was cozy and well maintained with all the essentials you would need for your stay. Everything in the property worked properly and was in good/great condition. The rooms were comfortable and the living area was big enough for my entire family to enjoy together. It is located in a nice and quiet neighborhood with friendly/welcoming faces, great for a morning walk or light jog. Everything you could need is fairly close and obtainable, unfortunately I didn't have a car during my stay but I was able to use ubereats and have some food and supplies delivered to me. One thing that won't be described enough in the listing is the great host! Vanessa was excellent with communicating from check in to check out. She was available whenever I had reached out to her. I had accidentally set the security system off in the early morning and she available to help with the situation immediately. Vanessa also went above and beyond with a request I had made involving the TV (I was trying to purchase a pay-per-view event), although when I called her she was unable to help, she would later call me to let me know she found a solution and I was able to enjoy the event in time. Her efforts to help her guest really enjoy their stays and provide beyond what is expected is commendable and makes her a great host! I would definitely recommend a stay here and will be looking forward to staying here in my future visits to Marshall!
