Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. The pool was great and the location was great being near everything you need but feeling like you’re in the country. Only warnings, the yard has sharp stickers and the house has a lot of stairs so just be careful with little ones.

This house is HUGE! I mean, way bigger than the photos suggested. We enjoyed the large kitchen and many large gathering spaces. We mostly stayed in the area, visiting Flower Mound and Grapevine and this is a great location. The house could go for a better cleaning; there was trash in some trashcans, dirty dishes in the dishwasher, lots of leftover food in the fridge and one tub went unused as it was not clean at all. Since there is a steep cleaning fee, I expected cleaner. ##### Rebecca T.

We also had some teenagers. The way the rooms were laid out was perfect for this kind of trip. Many of the rooms are attached to each other by doors and share bathrooms. This is great for smallChildren to be able to sleep in their own beds but in very close proximity. We weren’t able to use the pool area due to the time of year but it looked very nice. The area was very close to many parts of Dallas we chose to visit. Lots of restaurants and shopping also very close. ##### Jamie L.

Nice and private. You felt you were in the country but the Neighborhood Walmart was only 5 min away. The house had everything you needed for a comfortable stay! We had a few questions and the host got back with us quickly. The house accommodated 12 people comfortably. Pool was great on a hot summer day in Texas! Best of all was the picnic table that seated all of us comfortably. It was nice at meal time to have everyone seated at the table. Thank you for a wonderful stay!!! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Helen S. 15 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Paradise is Close By Hosts were super responsive and helpful - a delight. This oasis is quiet and has the feel of being away from everything but yet it is minutes to entertainment and restaurants. Close enough to Arlington if you are thinking about World Cup Soccer, football, baseball. The house has good rooms and plenty to do. Our family had 7 teens who played water volleyball, cornhole, pickleball, pingpong and board games. It's also very close to Lake Grapevine so we rented a pontoon boat for a couple of days. Close to another park that has paddle boards. Grapevine Mills is close - go to Meow Wolf. Hot tub and lots of spots for reading or quiet reflection too. ENJOY! ##### Helen S. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Meribah R. 20 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely home and neighborhood Rented this place to celebrate my birthday with friends. The home was very spacious and ample space in additional rooms to place air mattresses. It comfortable accommodated all guests and the hosts were very gracious. We had an issue with the fridge and they came by and opened up the garage to accommodate us so that all our food would not spoil. I wish the booking policy for a minimum of nights were adequately noted in the description so that it was clear, however, we enjoyed our weekend. Distance is relatively close to DFW airport and also close to Grapevine shopping. Really easy commute to many close locations. There is ample land and distance between homes and while we were there we encountered no interruptions with noise complaints. Thank you for overall making our stay welcome and as we mentioned to your husband, this is a very lovely home!! Should you decide to keep it, I would consider it for future rental. ##### Meribah R.

Only my family of 8 adults and 4 children slept at the house. The bedrooms are amazing and so numerous. Our children with kids had a room to themselves and an adjoining room for the kids. The common space was massive and perfect for hosting the whole family for lunch and a swim. The house was extremely clean and had everything we needed to prepare meals. Alyse was always quick to answer any questions we had and had everything we needed for the kids (baby Toys, building blocks for the older kids, pack-n-plays, high chairs and pool toys). The kids loved seeing the horse on the property and those next door, plus a family of deer. Thanks Alyse for a great weekend! ##### Mary M.
