The Red Rambler in the Christmas Capital of Texas

Our little red one story home is within walking distance to historic downtown Grapevine (the Christmas Capital of Texas) as well as within 8 minutes to the airport. From the large backyard, you can hear the music playing at the festivals throughout the year as well as sit and enjoy the squirrels antics. Over the last 6 months, this 1950's 2 bed 1 bath home has been completely renovated into a cozy 3/2 that welcomes all visitors! The back yard is next on the list. A new fence went in March of 2018 to ensure privacy and allow the canines or kids to romp about. It is large and quiet. The home is filled with original artwork from 2 local artists and reflects the diversity of Texas. Enjoy.
Due to new regulations in Grapevine - as of July 2025, all rentals must exceed 30 days.

Grapevine Wedding

Was in town from Idaho for a weekend family wedding. House had everything I needed and located in a nice, quiet neighborhood. It was within walking distance to historic downtown and I was able to do that with my dog everyday. Would stay there again if another wedding takes place.

Quaint and Clean Home Away from Home

We loved staying at this rental. It was clean, quiet, and very local to the Convention Center that our company conference took place at. Kari was available for any requests (although we didn't have any extra needs), and was there for support every step of the way! We would absolutely book here again :)

I cannot say enough about how wonderful the Red Rambler vacation rental was for my family. It did not disappoint at all. Very cozy and comfortable for my family and our furbabies. It was a cross between vintage and modern flair. The beds were comfortable, the neighborhood was quite and clean, the house itself was clean and had everything we needed for our stay, the backyard was perfect for our furbabies to get some much needed exercise and Kari was always available when i texted her and the location was perfect. Texas is a yearly trip and i will be back next year. KARI THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR HOME.

Great property, great location

We rented the property for my two sons and their families to visit us in Grapevine. There were 4 adults and 2 kids, ages 3 & 5. The property slept all comfortably, with enough amenities for everyone. It is cute and clean and in a good neighborhood. We would recommend this property to anyone wanting to stay within walking distance to downtown Grapevine.

Very great to stay in

We so enjoyed staying together in the house instead of hotel. This was a girl cousins weekend trip. 2 blocks from downtown shopping. Only issue we had was after a heavy rain the toilets stopped up. However the owner was quick to send her husband over and fix it.

Great birthday getaway

Spent a great weekend with my husband,our dog, daughter, son in law, and their 2 dogs. Plenty of space indoor and a great fenced in backyard for the dogs. Owner thought of everything including stuff to make our own stockings! Fully stocked kitchen, and plenty of bath towels made this stay worry-free! Beautifully decorated for Christmas but I’m sure it’s just as cute for any other time. Definitely recommending to friends who also travel with their furbabies!

Turn on Vine, cruise past Airplane, hanging out at Pine….

The only problem we had was that we never received our entry number to get in. Even though we left a message with no response, we happen to be lucky that the owner just happened to stop by to bring the garage cans from the curb. Good location, clean, cute little house. You could buy all new pillows, either flat as a cardboard or too full, which this is important for people traveling. A pizza cutter would have been nice too along with a box of Kleenex and 1 bathroom had no body soap (it was out). The place had recently been updated, nice appliances, nice towels and the beds and air conditioning was very comfortable.

While we were doing our home renovation we needed to find someplace close by that accepted dogs. This house was a perfect location and the host communication was excellent..even having to extend our stay a few times. I would recommend to anyone looking to rent in the future.

Great Getaway!

This was a wonderful place for our Sister’s Weekend! We like to spend lots of time together just relaxing and catching up. It was close to historic downtown so we could walk and not have to find a place to park. The owner quickly took care of our needs when we had questions. It was a great getaway!
