Perfect Weekend Getaway
My wife and I came in town for a wedding and Ted and Jackie's was a wonderful landing spot. The place was great, they were very accommodating with the pool/hot tub temperature needs for my pregnant wife. Also, having our own private entrance was exteely convenient. Definitely be sure to run into downtown Garland for coffee in the morning, it's so close!

Everything Plus More
Amazing!!! Almost heaven truly fits the description. When we arrived in Dallas, Jackie contacted us, informing us of all the details needed to arrive and enter the property. We were able to check into the property earlier than listed, which was a plus. We were greeted by the owners when we first arrived. The conversation was great. They informed us on places to go and where to eat. They even had menus for all of the local restaurants as well as informing us on where not to go for dining. The pool and hot tub….amazing!!! In terms of the Cottage, it was worth every penny. The bed was comfortable, we slept like babies and not to forget the freestanding tub gave a unique style that we absolutely enjoyed. The communication with the owner was a 10 out of 10. I would have to say this was place was a great home away from home. I return to Dallas again, I will definitely come back to this property. Again, thank you Jackie and Ted for this wonderful experience.

Just Not A Good Fit.
I communicated with Jackie leading up to the day of our check-in. She was a very sweet lady. However upon arriving to the home there were a lot of political signs and a large flag. Due to the current political climate my husband and I didn’t feel comfortable/ safe staying at the listing.

So relaxing
I came to Dallas to meet a sister I’d never met before (we found each other through DNA testing). Because I was nervous and not sure we would hit it off, I looked for a place that would be quiet and serene and comfortable enough to enjoy being by myself should she not be available often. This little cottage captivated me with its blue tiles, white claw foot tub and cozy seating areas and was just what I needed. I absolutely loved staying there. I was pleasantly surprised by being greeted with a Welcome sign and bouquets of fresh roses! It was the perfect place to stay alone. The neighborhood was safe and quiet. Oh, and the bed was very comfortable. The hosts were so kind and welcoming and very accessible when I had a question. P.S. My sister and I ended up seeing each other every day and the friendship we’d begun through emails and texts deepened easily, so I didn’t end up being solitary very long.

Lovely place, Lovely Hosts
Lovely place with lovely hosts. They were quick to help out when we could not figure out how to work things. Quiet and quaint property. Local church bells periodically ringing were pleasant in our opinion. Ideal location for our needs.

Quiet oasis
The place was great! The pool was inviting on a hot summer day. My husband and I enjoyed our time of solitude for our anniversary. The hosts are very responsive and generous. The kitchen is well stocked if you decide to cook. It was inviting - a home away from home.

Perfectly Relaxing
I felt my stress melt away as soon as I walked in the door. Such a lovely, perfect little place for a relaxing getaway. I enjoyed sleeping in, taking naps, floating in the pool, and my evenings at nearby Shakespeare in the Park. Such wonderful hosts looking after every detail to make you feel like a treasured guest. My only regret is that I could not stay longer. Until next time.....

This is everything it promises to be. From the welcome sign when you walk in the door to all the fixings for mini waffles, these hosts make you feel welcome! The kitchen was well equipped, and there were plenty of towels to use at the pool. Small, but oh, so nice!

Sometimes, a cute little space is all you need!
This place was amazing. The little home looked so cute and quaint. The design and decoration is perfect and we loved it. We decided to skip a day at the zoo to just "chill" at the house for the majority of the day. We felt at home and cared for with everything we needed. The pool and hot tub certainly helped that! The hosts are very nice and helpful with getting everything together and they make sure you have everything needed. Great experience. We just might use this place from now on for our Dallas trips!

Jackie and Ted were wonderful to work with. The cottage is clean, cute, quiet, and private. Thoughtful touches welcome you: fresh flowers, water, coffee, the ingredients for your first breakfast. Bed was comfortable and pool was very clean and nice. You’ll truly enjoy renting from this couple!

Lovely cottage getaway
We were looking for a home base while visiting family on a working vacation and Jackie and Ted's place went above and beyond. The set-up gives you maximum privacy with your own secure access to the property from the street behind the house. The pool is beautiful and a big plus in the heat of summer. The bed was comfortable and the water pressure excellent. AC and fan kept us cool. Linens and towels were good quality and the kitchen had all the basics. Wi-Fi worked well for many hours of video conferencing. The loft set up was perfect for yoga and working. The ladder up is very stable so it was easy to use. It's a lovely welcoming space. It felt very homey. Jackie and Ted have an eye for all the right details. Enjoy!

Wow!
Wow. To sum up our stay, we'd have to say wow. What an amazing, relaxing, and rejuvenating stay here at this home. Hosts were kind, communicative, and quick with any concerns we had. CLEANNNN. The pool was simply amazing. It sits at the back of the home and to the side of the private getaway. There are windows that look in to the back of the home without blinds but they’re in an empty room that we never saw anyone access while we were in the pool. Also, the best part of this stay was local food spots! Try Tanya's for breakfast. Would stay again for sure. Give them a try.
