Rare Gem is just that, a rare gem of natural peace and quiet right in the big middle of the city. We loved spending time on the deck area overlooking a lovely greenspot and the easy access to White Rock Lake! Vern and Lisa were gracious hosts, making sure to be there when we checked in and to show us all the workings of the place. This is a great place to stay for a day or a week. We'll definitely be back!
