Beautiful Country Getaway

We choose this wonderful property because it was not too far away, yet out of the way enough for my highly immunocompromised adult son. The farmhouse was immaculate and incredibly well-provisioned. The pool was sparkingly clean, and the game room provided fantastic options. The first night my kids' devices has issues connecting to the wifi, but by morning everything was fine. There were no connectivity issues for the few online meetings that we had to keep, a major plus. Our dog had the best time roaming the property, chasing crickets and grasshoppers. Be aware that this is the country and wear something on your feet. We killed one baby scorpion while there--not a big deal. This property is ideal for a quiet getaway with plenty to do. The only thing to note about the property is the upstairs master bedroom has a gorgeous sunroof area that has no blinds on the windows. I normally travel with blackout curtains to suction cup to the windows to allow us to sleep in on vacation, but this area high and inaccessible. By 6:30 a.m., the room is fully lit. (If you are a light-sensitive sleeper, choose one of the downstairs bedrooms.) It also contributes to the room heating up more than the rest of the house in the 100+ degree temperatures we've been experiencing. The house had a ready additional fan in the laundry closet to help with this. Overall, it was a fabulous place to stay, and I highly recommend it.

Great Get-away with hospitality

Remote enough to feel like you are in the countryside but only an hour from downtown Dallas, this retreat delivered fun and games or quiet seclusion in an attractive and professionally created setting. Everything we needed was there, beds were comfortable, sheets and towels were of good quality, place was clean and well-kept, and the arrangement of bedrooms and baths provided four distinct sleeping areas. There are two bedrooms and one bath near the living room, another two bedrooms and bath on the opposite end of the house, a primary expansive bedroom and bath upstairs and another one in the game room shed a few steps outside. This makes it great for sub-sets of families or friends. Owner/manager was very attentive to minor questions and made sure we knew we could reach her is anything came up. A high degree of hospitality in every way!

Wonderful place in the middle of nowhere! Had everything we needed to make it a great weekend. Lots of space, comfortable beds, great pool and game room. Hosts were very accessible and helped every step of the way. Even a great farm stand less than 2 miles away. Highly recommend!

60th birthday party celebration

I'm not sure where to start. There are so many great things to say about our stay. We were there from Wednesday through Sunday and we rented the barn for my party. There were close to 100 people there and everything went off without a hitch. The house was immaculate! There wasn't anything we needed that wasn't there and it is definitely worth every dollar. Management was always available, and the very few minor questions we had, they were answered within a very short time. The game room was a hit, the hot tub was a hit, the play area for the children was a hit, the pool was a hit, Everything else was, you guessed it.... a hit. The question I heard most from everyone was "Where did you find this place?". It is truly a diamond in the rough. I wholeheartedly endorse Magnolia Creek Ranch 1,000%!

Amazing stay!

I cannot say enough about how much my team, and I enjoyed our stay at this property! The host was beyond accommodating, and truly understands the meaning of hospitality. The house was well appointed, there were enough of everything from towels, to bedding, to even complementary coffee, tea, and more. The house was beautifully decorated, incredibly clean, and I would absolutely stay here again! If I could give this property more than five stars, I would!

About the host

Why they chose this property

I have owned and managed other short term rentals in and around the DFW area. The rules and regulations if your property is within city limits preclude family reunions, parties, cars on property, quiet hours, fireplace usage, etc. I wanted to find a place where large families can come together for a family reunion or a wedding, corporate retreat etc. When my business partner Dena found this property, we knew we had to have it. She has spent 32 years in the wedding industry and loved the barn as event space and I loved the farmhouse as a short term rental where you choose the optional event space or not. There are just not enough properties that offer freedom to gather in a respectful manner. The large party crowd that rents short term rentals to trash someone else's house has sullied the industry. Just to be clear, we will not rent the farmhouse to a large party crowd, but are happy to offer our space to respectful groups looking to gather or celebrate. All overnight occupants must be on the reservation and groups over 25 people must contract optional event space.
