About this property

Garden Cottage, Far From The Maddening Crowd but so close to the night life!

This 550 sq ft private cottage, built in the 1940's is 15 minutes from the Arts District, 7 minutes from Bishop Arts, 15 minutes to World Trade Center, close to downtown, but quiet & secluded, nestled at the end of a cul de sac on Cedar Creek in Elmwood, Oak Cliff. With private gardens, Texas natives, mature shady trees, front porch with chairs, it's a perfect spot to unwind and relax after a day of exploring the many sights in Dallas or Ft. Worth, or a comfortable retreat to spend on contemplation & reflection after a day of work.
Queen bed with high quality bedding, fluffy towels, robes. Large shower with quality shampoos, conditioners & soaps/shower gels.
You also have an outdoor patio with chiminea supplied with wood and seating as well as table & chairs for dining al fresco. You will feel that you are in the country but so close to night life. It is also perfect for honeymoons, with lots of privacy and romantic touches.
Right next to cottage is your own private parking under a carport. Right next to cottage we have just built a small dog run with a gate off of the porch. No big dogs.
Across the driveway is the main house where we live. We can offer catered dinners in the very romantic backyard of this historic home, rumored to be a haunt of Bonnie & Clyde, as it was a speakeasy in the 1920’s.
Come, relax, enjoy! We will treat each guest special with individually thought out goodies!

Wonderful Stay

The cottage and garden helped make the week's visit to Dallas wonderful. It was so quiet and the garden was very peaceful and made for a great place to sit in the morning. The location is close to shopping, restaurants and a park. We look forward to staying here again on our next visit to Dallas.

Felt at home

The cozy cottage was ideal for our short stay in the Dallas area. While located next to the main house at the end of a cul-de-sac, it is still very private with beautiful landscaping and courtyard area. My wife was able to work remotely from the cottage while I was away and loved the nostalgic design of this old cottage. The owners were very nice and hospitable throughout our stay.

Weekend away

Driving in on a dark rainy day we were a little unsure about the location, but the cottage was so cute and very private. It’s obvious the owners spent a lot of time planning the garden and outdoor areas were because every inch of it feels perfectly placed and incredibly private and secluded, even though you are in a neighborhood with houses nearby. It was very cozy on a cold November weekend and exactly what we hoped for!

Charming Vintage Cottage

The cottage is super comfy, private, clean and artistically decorated, inside and out. The front porch and back gardens were perfect for morning coffee and relaxing after busy days spent exploring the area. Location is great- close to restaurants, bars, unique shops and a DART station. Candice and Richard are friendly and thoughtful hosts. Thanks for the lovely stay, wine and box of goodies from the local bakery. We thoroughly enjoyed your beautiful cottage.

Private Little Gem

I was in town to visit family that I hadn’t seen since 1999 and so when I found this cute and convenient cottage. It was nicely furnished and had all the comfort’s of home that are a nice treat when traveling. I definitely enjoyed my stay here where it was nice and private compared to a hotel room. Candice was extremely gracious and always available for me whenever I had any questions. I would totally stay here again in the future whenever in the area.

Best Place Ever!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Kaseeta! It was beautifully staged we had everything we needed. The grounds around the property were exquisite with beautiful flowers and thoughtful sculptures. There were secret gardens and just a relaxing atmosphere. The hosts were kind and truly made us feel at home. They are the true example of Texas Hospitality. Would recommend a stay at their property anytime. Best stay ever!! Thank you for your attention to detail!!

Cozy, Comfortable and Warm

We loved our stay at this little cottage. Candice (the host) stocked the cottage with all kinds of goodie for us to snack on and included a bouquet of fresh cut flowers. She also included special lotions, shampoo and conditioner in the bathroom. The bed was very comfortable as was the living room furniture. This cottage is decorated nice and has a wonderful warm feel to... very relaxing! Thank you Candice & Richard!

Weekend Getaway

We rented Candice's cottage for the weekend while we attended the Wings Over Dallas airshow at the Dallas Executive Airport. Candice made us feel very welcome by contacting us before we arrived to find out if we had any special requests. When we opened the front door there was a beautiful bouquet of roses on the bookcase, and we found pumpkin bread and orange juice for breakfast. The cottage was at the end of a cul-de-sac, it was very clean, and the bed was very comfortable. We would stay again.

Quaint and comfortable

This charming cottage is delightful and is now our first choice for every visit to Dallas. A special bonus for us is that it is located a ten minute walk from our relatives’ house. The cottage is comfortable and relaxing. The hosts gave us a lot of information before we arrived. Inside we found a personalized welcome letter. There was ground coffee, orange juice, specialty bread and many other food items. We enjoyed the decor and framed art. Most of all, we felt appreciated and welcome.

Perfect Dreamy Cottage!

What a dream little cottage! And an amazing garden too! Totally quiet culdesac in a sweet neighborhood. Unique furnishings, well equipped kitchen, and fully modern bathroom. Met the delightful hosts briefly, but had total privacy. The garden had little places to sit that I would have loved to use if it hadn’t rained all weekend, but I did enjoy the view of it from the cozy porch. The location is a quick drive to the Bishop arts area or to I-35 to go anywhere else. Snap up this rental if it’s available. It’s perfect!

Amazing Cottage!!!!

Amazing!!!! The cottage exceeded all of our expectations. It is located in a very quiet spot with a nice front porch to sit on and a very nice private area outside for sitting outside and relaxing in the evening. Lots of butterflies and squirrels to watch and a nice little Chimenea for making a fire. The property is exceptionally clean and very comfortable inside and out. If your looking for somewhere to stay that’s close to everything but feels like it is far away this spot is perfect. The host had everything we needed and then some to make our stay comfortable and relaxing. Would highly recommend!!!

Perfect anniversary getaway

Excellent hosts, excellent location, and such a beautiful cottage - exactly what we hoped it would be. It’s peaceful and private yet very close and accessible to Bishop Arts and also many awesome taquerias and family owned Mexican restaurants. The bed is comfy. The linens are quality. Inside the cottage is great but the private garden patio and porch spaces are what really shine; an unexpected but authentic dose of zen. Richard and Candice (the owners) are a very sweet, very cool couple who have cultivated something actually special. We took a moment before we left just to savor the vibe. It’s an inspiring spot. We celebrated our first year of marriage here and it was perfect for us; we will absolutely be back.

About the host

Hosted by Candice White

Host profile image
We are creatives by nature. I am a photographer and Richard is a painter, sculptor as well as floral designer. We love to dance and are avid Argentine Tango Dancers. We created gardens around the Cottage to create a one of a kind private personal and romantic space for our guests. We treat each one of our guests individually, with different breakfast goodies. We are both Texans and grew up in Dallas, so if you need recommendations or a guided tour around town, we are available to help. Respecting your privacy, we are always on hand to answer any and all questions and are committed to making your stay a one of a kind experience.

Why they chose this property

The main house on the property was built in circa 1900 and has been through many metamorphoses. In the 1920's it was a well known "speakeasy" and gambling and dance hall. When we renovated the property in 1999, we found game table rivets in the floor. The back was originally the front of the property with a bridge over the creek. Rumor has it that lights would be shown up through the small cupola tower to let guests know if the club was open or not. This property comes alive at night with an ambience of frivolity and joy! We Iive right across the driveway in the main house.

What makes this property unique

We are at the end of a cul de sac on 3/4 or an acre, and although we are so close to the city, it is quiet and peaceful, and very private next to a creek with guest private gardens.
