We rented this beautiful house as a home base for my daughter’s wedding. It was just perfect for us. The beds are comfy, the refrigerator is huge and you can’t beat the view from the back patio. We didn’t have dogs with us but if you bring dogs, it’s a great set up. There’s a doggy door in the laundry room that leads to a separate yard for them. Would stay again.
Beautiful place, big and super comfortable!!
Becky super hosts!!

Peaceful & Wonderful Stay!
We were in town for a wedding, staying with another family, and this spacious home accommodated all nine of us perfectly! The fully stocked kitchen made meal preparation a breeze. The whole family had a blast playing pickleball in the shop, and the countryside views during breakfast were breathtaking. We truly didn’t want to leave! If we’re ever back in this part of Texas, we’ll definitely choose to stay here again!

Gorgeous Home!
The new home was lovely, well stocked for short visits and had beautiful views. This property seems to be relatively new to the short term rental market and a work in progress. There were some minor issues but our customer person was very pleasant and quick to respond and resolve our issues to the best of her ability. We would definitely stay here again if our travels take us to this part of Texas.
The new home was a lovely place to stay while we attended a variety of wedding events for our grandson in Valley View and Denton. It was well stocked for short visits and had beautiful views. This property seems to be relatively new to the short term rental market and in some ways a work in progress. Some additional landscaping enhancements we being developed. There were some minor issues but the customer service person was very pleasant and quick to respond and resolve our issues. We would definitely stay here again if our travels take us to this part of Texas.

This place is amazing. We had few family gathering for New Year.Hidden Gem for Families and Pickleball Enthusiasts!We recently visited a charming ranch home that turned out to be a perfect getaway for our family. The property had everything we could ask for: a cozy, welcoming ambiance, spacious interiors, and a beautifully maintained outdoor area.The highlight was the private pickleball court! It became the center of our family bonding time, and even the kids, who were new to the sport, loved it. The court was well-designed and had all the equipment we needed, making it a great experience for players of all levels.With just a few families sharing the property, it felt intimate and peaceful. The smaller group made it easy to connect with others, yet we still had plenty of privacy.The ranch itself was spotless and well-equipped, with all the modern amenities you’d expect. It’s clear that the owners put thought into making it comfortable and family-friendly.We would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a unique getaway that combines relaxation, community, and a bit of friendly competition on the pickleball court!

Thank you for your thoughtful words and for choosing our home for your celebration. We’d love to host you again anytime your travels bring you back this way! Wishing you and your family all the best. Sunset Meadow Ranch Team."
The property was clean and very comfortable. The only item which caused inconvenience was the television equipment. We couldn't get the televisions to work on cable or local stations. If not for our streaming subscriptions, we would have had no TV service at all. This should be addressed by the owner or VRBO.
