"Favorite place to stay in Dallas"

Spacious 4BR Home - King Suite - Family Friendly - Near Dallas Attractions

8/10 Good

"Our stay was very good. The home was clean and easy to access. Having a gated drive was a really nice extra. The home was well appointed and very clean. All the beds were comfy. The home had a very cozy feel. The property is very conveniently located for doing things in Dallas and the suburbs. I would have given a 5 start if it wasn’t for the street and plane noise. The property is located on a busy street and near a major airport that starts flight services at 6:00 am. The street noise was especially an issue for the front two bedrooms. That said bring earplugs if you want to sleep in. We would stay here again even knowing about the noise because the home was very homey and super convenient."
