Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
The A/C worked once we made a call and had to access the adjoining unit and switch the unit to heat. We were there and it was COLD but, understandably, the A/C units were set to COOL and not HEAT therefore we had no heat night 1. Once we got that fixed the rest was good. The hot tub was a little bit on the dirty side once the jets kicked on but, didn't stop us from enjoying a drink. If someone is in the unit adjacent and had differing climate preferences this may be an issue but, all in all it was a good place to stay for us.

Perfect Weekend Getaway

My wife and I came in town for a wedding and Ted and Jackie's was a wonderful landing spot. The place was great, they were very accommodating with the pool/hot tub temperature needs for my pregnant wife. Also, having our own private entrance was exteely convenient. Definitely be sure to run into downtown Garland for coffee in the morning, it's so close!

Lovely place with lovely hosts. They were quick to help out when we could not figure out how to work things. Quiet and quaint property. Local church bells periodically ringing were pleasant in our opinion. Ideal location for our needs.

Wonderful Experience. Perfect place to stay.

This VRBO blew our expectations away. It was perfectly clean, absolutely gorgeously decorated and designed, and had everything we could possibly need. Jackie and Ted were so very attentive to our every need. Any issue we had was quickly resolved. The area is safe, quiet, and perfect for any vacation stay.I couldn’t recommend this place enough. Thank you, Jackie and Ted!

Texas Getaway

Jackie and Ted were wonderful hosts. Easy to communicate with and gave some great recommendations for places to eat and things to do. My girlfriend and I were visiting Texas to run a half marathon in FT Worth. The cozy cottage and relaxing hot tub definitely helped us recover from the long run. Garland was a great location for us as we were visiting Rockwall, Dallas, and Ft Worth area. Highly recommend this cottage for anyone traveling to the area. We will definitely be back. Thank you Jackie and Ted.

Coziness at its finest

This was such a wonderful stay. Ted and Jackie were the nicest and most accommodating owners I've had the pleasure of working with on Vrbo so far. The house is a guest house that shares the property of the owners main house, but we would have never known they were there once we checked in. The guest house is small and cozy, but so comfortable for the just the two of us and couldn't have been better. The pictures posted are exactly what you will find. The pool is huge and beautiful but it was too cold for us to swim. The parking area is gated and privacy fence surrounding the property. This is a perfect place for any couple, or single person, staying in the Dallas area for any amount of time! This is definitely where I'll be staying on any future visits to Dallas.

JUST LIKE HOME!

5 Stars for me! It was just like home for me! Cosey, comfortable, peaceful & quiet. Everything was there that you needed. If you needed anything, they were a call away & were very much wanting you to have a pleasant say. They cared! Something you don't find in commercial hotels. I felt very secure & safe there being by myself. A secure area that was locked. It was walking distance to stores & restaurants. It was like having a place in the country with city amenities. A win-win. I would definitely go back! You can't go wrong here!!

So relaxing

I came to Dallas to meet a sister I’d never met before (we found each other through DNA testing). Because I was nervous and not sure we would hit it off, I looked for a place that would be quiet and serene and comfortable enough to enjoy being by myself should she not be available often. This little cottage captivated me with its blue tiles, white claw foot tub and cozy seating areas and was just what I needed. I absolutely loved staying there. I was pleasantly surprised by being greeted with a Welcome sign and bouquets of fresh roses! It was the perfect place to stay alone. The neighborhood was safe and quiet. Oh, and the bed was very comfortable. The hosts were so kind and welcoming and very accessible when I had a question. P.S. My sister and I ended up seeing each other every day and the friendship we’d begun through emails and texts deepened easily, so I didn’t end up being solitary very long.

Everything Plus More

Amazing!!! Almost heaven truly fits the description. When we arrived in Dallas, Jackie contacted us, informing us of all the details needed to arrive and enter the property. We were able to check into the property earlier than listed, which was a plus. We were greeted by the owners when we first arrived. The conversation was great. They informed us on places to go and where to eat. They even had menus for all of the local restaurants as well as informing us on where not to go for dining. The pool and hot tub….amazing!!! In terms of the Cottage, it was worth every penny. The bed was comfortable, we slept like babies and not to forget the freestanding tub gave a unique style that we absolutely enjoyed. The communication with the owner was a 10 out of 10. I would have to say this was place was a great home away from home. I return to Dallas again, I will definitely come back to this property. Again, thank you Jackie and Ted for this wonderful experience.
