About this property

Cute cozy cottage with in-ground lap pool! Enjoy the summer in the back yard!

This cute cottage was completely remodeled in 2019 and sleeps six! You will find it has high-end furnishings and feels like a true Vacation home with great pops of color! We've actually had several guests tell us it's the best vacation home they have ever stayed in as far as condition and amenities. The master bedroom is very large with one king bed and two twins (trundle). The secondary bedroom sleeps two with one queen bed. Each bedroom has a private bath with one bath having access through the hall, as well. Both baths have been beautifully remodeled. The kitchen boasts granite counter tops and stainless appliances. There are plenty of dishes, pot and pans, utensils and glasses. Also included in the kitchen is a blender, two coffee makers, a crock pot and toaster. It has all you will need! The thing that actually makes the home so quaint and gives the feel of a cottage are the plantation shutters, as well as the screened door leading to the fenced back patio (to contain little ones from the lap pool). The back patio overlooks the refreshing lap pool (heats like a spa, though not a hottub), as well as a large gazebo! The neighborhood is extremely quiet and has huge trees throughout, as well as a couple of lovely lakes. It's a wonderful place to just walk and enjoy nature. This home is a true gem, and we are confident you will enjoy your stay as many others have! Not only that...it's super convenient to major highways...George Bush and Central Expressway. Interstate 30 is approximately a 10-15 minute drive and Dallas North Tollway is about a 10-15 minute drive in the opposite direction, as well! Just be sure to take a look at the reviews for honest opinions of the property!

My friends and I truly enjoyed our 3 night stay at your well appointed home! The beds and pillows were super comfy!

We had a great stay here. Small heated backyard pool made it perfect as March temps would have been a little cold for swimming. Great response time from the owner (had one dumb question). Thanks for letting us stay in your home. Would do it again!

Quick stay

Came to Dallas to visit some family for a weekend. The neighborhood was quiet and very convenient to where we needed to be near. The house was very comfortable and clean. This is an older home so if you are looking for a roomier or open concept floor plan this would not be a good fit!

Quiet, relaxing home

This was exactly what we needed that weekend! The house had everything we needed, a couple of items needed attention in the master bath. The toilet fill Valve got stuck everytimr we flushed, requiring us to lift the tank lid and jiggle it to get the tank to fill back up. Also, the handle for switching the shower from overhead to handheld fell off every time I touched it. Probably just needs a screw tightened, but it was loud and annoying every time it clanged to the floor. Overall, a nice experience. We would’ve like to have a tv in the bedroom, but it wasn’t a deal-breaker for us.

My husband and I had a lovely stay here reconnecting and the idea of enjoying the city! Sadly we had gotten sick and didn't leave the house once. But we were fully spoiled with good food. Clean housing and wonderful atmosphere!! Can not say in words how much we needed and enjoyed this place. Thank you so much

We really enjoyed our stay in this very cute, clean, well designed cottage equipped with everything you would possibly need. The home is exactly like it is pictured with very nice finishes. The extra amenities such as coffee & cookies were much appreciated. The private garage & pool area were a real bonus!! The hosts were very easy to communicate with. Will definitely return if our travels bring us to the area again. Thank you for a lovely stay.

This house was located in a great location. Near a park and plenty of restaurants around. Very clean and nice place to stay. The kitchen was very well stocked which isn’t the least the case in rentals like this. The hot tub is a great feature as well. I will definitely stay here again!

Texas Treasure

We stayed at the 'cottage' for the month of March, 2022. If you are looking for a cottage home away from home, this is the place. The home was very well stocked with kitchen equipment and dishes as well as pantry items. Plenty of towels sheets, etc. Working the stove was a little tricky, but we figured it out and all appliances worked great. The spa pool was a welcome addition and we used it all the time -- nicely protected from wind when it was chilly out and operating it was a breeze - just needed to remember to turn it on earlier on cooler days to give it time to heat up. The hosts were easy to reach and very responsive to any questions or requests. I would say the only downside was that even though it definitely has a 'cottage' vibe, some things could use updating such as carpeting and area rug. Also, the livingroom couch continually shed feathers from the pillows. Beds were very comfortable and well appointed. A little disappointed that the gazebo lights did not work as the outside areas were important space for us, but the squirrels were to blame there! All-in-all, a nice, comfortable, well-stocked home with a great location to access all the fun areas around Dallas. Would happily rent again when in the area.

2-bed, 2-bath Cottage is just the right size

This 2-bed, 2-bath Cottage is just the right size for a couple, and we were able to have our Dallas family join us for dinner one night because the dining room seats six. The location is great, too: Jupiter and Renner seemed to take us wherever we needed to go. The house felt like "home" immediately.

About the host

Hosted by Sharon Arnold

Host profile image
We started out as empty nesters a few years back with one other vacation rental in downtown Plano. We had so much fun talking to people and sharing our home, that we decided to launch home number "2" this year. My husband, Sam, is retired after 31 years at Raytheon and I'm a residential appraiser, as well as a local real estate agent. We have two grown sons that are both married and the "cutest" grandson EVER!

Why they chose this property

I walked in the door to list this property for the lady that owned it, and it just "grabbed" me and reeled me in! It's just a really cute home...and I do mean cottage like cute. That day, as I left there I asked if I could bring my husband back to see it before we listed it, fully expecting him to tell me I was crazy. HA! However, he walked in and apparently it "grabbed" him, as well, because he turned to me and said "let's do it". That's how we became the proud owners. We had no clue we were even looking for another home, but it just seemed right. HA!

What makes this property unique

We both loved the fact it had plantation shutters everywhere and also the fact that there is a small greenbelt behind the property. The property feels very private, both in the front and back yards. We just fell in love with it and could see the potential of a relaxing vacation home...or possibly a home to downsize to one day!
