Where to begin with a review of Casa de Marci? Came for a week. Stayed a year. Outstanding artist / host. The Rustic Hideaway is a uniquely decorated (in a good way) separate space that shares the main house kitchen. A great mix of privacy and company. Huge double shower. Super washing machine (in case you need to wash a down sleeping bag - I did.) Warm winter nights in front of a wood fire. Cool summer days under the ceiling fan. Drop by White Rock Lake. It's practically next door. At the lake you can walk, run and ride the nine mile loop path. Sail or paddle the lake. Or stop by the White Rock Workout Area on Sunday mornings for free yoga and calisthenics with Dallasthenics. You may learn to do a handstand. Or you could stay home to enjoy the hot tub and deck in your own private forest setting. All this in a part of Dallas sometimes known as "Little Austin" for the rolling landscape, lake and hardwood trees. PS: Good wifi.
