Two of my dearest friends and I booked the bungalow for a much-anticipated reunion/retreat weekend, and we just can't say it enough: it was _the_ PERFECT getaway! Right from the booking confirmation, Jim was a gracious and communicative host— he was so accommodating with our travel plans, even suggesting we check in later in order to spend more time enjoying the area! We were delighted and grateful, not only for the helpful information he provided to facilitate our time in Dallas, but for the ways he truly went above and beyond to cultivate a space that felt welcoming and Peaceful from the moment we arrived. The bungalow itself is as much a work of art as the many framed pieces on its walls (and we loved getting to hear Jim's stories about his gorgeous and eclectic collection– in fact, we so enjoyed the conversations with our wonderful host that we may come back just to get to know HIM! :)
It would be hard to pick a favorite part of our stay, but some highlights include:
- Enjoying dinner together each night on the patio, the table lit by the soft glow of tea lights (often with one or two of Jim's adorable dogs visiting, too)
- The SHOWER. Oh my gosh. I don't want to condone immoderate water usage but I could have stayed in that shower the entire weekend.
- Sipping tea (we loved the mugs there, too!), leaning out the Dutch door to hear birds singing each morning
- The proximity to everything! As other reviewers have said, the bungalow feels tucked away in a private oasis of tranquility, but it took no time at all to access Dallas and all it had to offer!
We really couldn't have been happier with the entire experience! So eager to visit again soon—
