Heavenly Dallas Retreat Made Me Feel Like an Honored Guest
This is an exceptional property and one the hosts have graciously offered to share with the rest of us. Their love for the guesthouse and gardens is evident in every detail and the fee they charge makes it one of the most economical I've ever seen. It's a unique experience, not just a place to spend the night.
Just to save time let me highlight a few of the ways using bullet points:
* Gorgeous space both inside and out. We visited right after a big rain in December and it was muddy and cold in Dallas the day before we left. But once we drove through the gate and arrived at this hidden hideaway off a main road we felt that we had been transported to a Balinese Fantasy Island villa instead. It was that great.
* Thoughtful touches everywhere designed to make your stay comfortable and stress-free--bottled water and beer in the fridge, fresh coffee beans and coffee maker, intriguing teas and snacks and just about any kind of bathroom item you might need.
* Zen retreat atmosphere (but with comfortable seating everywhere and a TV if you need it). Also the best alarm clock/charger set-up I've ever seen).
* The grounds and the furnishings are the real highlights but I don't want to say too much about them here and spoil the surprises. You will have more fun discovering them for yourself. The hosts tried to think of everything they could to make your stay comfortable and delightful, and I think they succeeded.
I already have another stay booked later in the year, and I know I'll be counting the days until then. Enjoy this little piece of heaven if you're lucky enough to snag a free day (they're hard to find).
