The hosts were delightful people, they responded quickly whenever I messaged them.
The location was great, right between Dallas and the venue where we were going. It is in a cute little neighborhood, kinda hidden, some kinda sketchy areas in surrounding communities.
We arrived very late from the airport and it took a second to find the gate on the right with a vehicle in front of it. The cottage was charming and looked as though a lot of thought went into the decor and art. It was fully equipped with a supplied kitchen, dishwasher, laundry room, iron, and even toys and a extra side bed for our young son. Unfortunately, despite that the place was beautiful and had everything we needed, there were also some cockroaches.
I myself was part of a wedding and not at the cottage often, and my spouse did not tell me until the trip was almost over.. but he killed a couple the size of a quarter, and saw about 5 between the kitchen and bathroom. I notified Carrie, and she said they had Terminix spray a few weeks ago, I'm sure they will look into it.
There were a couple dogs and a cat around, the dogs do bark from the house if you are coming in late. I felt bad about that noise for the family. The back part of the cottage is private feeling with a lot of bushes. The front of the cabin is close to the back porch and home windows, and a thin curtain by the bed and closet seems a little too see-thru and visible for my liking. The bed was huge and super comfortable. The shower has very high water pressure.
The pool was cute, but probably not really swimmable water, the wifi is a bit limited. We didn't end up using these amenities.
I did like the place, it was a good home base, there just seem to be a couple loose ends.
