Ryan, thank you for booking with us. In the future, please read the property description which states the pool is not heated. March is a very cold month, and the pool needs time with warmer weather to heat up. This is also stated in your welcome letter.

Family Stay

Overall, it was a great stay! One suggestion, instead of having an add on charge for white rags etc, either add on to the price or provide black rags for makeup.
Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025
Response from VrboOwner on 22 Feb 2025
Thank you for your suggestion. We do our best to provide all the amenities to our guests, including makeup wipes, cotton balls, Qtips, shampoo, conditioner, and shower wash. You were not charged for any stains though makeup was smeared on the pillowcases. Lights and fans were also left on all over the house.

We loved this little farmhouse for a quick trip to Wylie! It was homey and warm with easy to find amenities to make it even more comfortable. Perfect size pool, and comfortable backyard furniture. The master bedroom and bathroom are perfect! I loved the large tub and waterfall shower! Communication was quick and friendly. Would stay again

Amazing stay in Wylie

We had such a great time staying here. It was super close to our relatives that we were in town visiting. Everything was so clean and we’ve never stayed somewhere that had toiletries and even laundry detergent available. It was very much appreciated. We were also welcomed with a bottle of wine and it just happened to be my favorite kind! The rules for the stay and expectations for check out were clearly listed. The property manager was also very responsive. Highly recommend staying here.

Home away from home

From the moment we stepped in the door of this beautifully decorated home, we felt right at home. Our family was in town for our niece’s wedding from Virginia. I specifically chose this house for the cozy warmth in photos that reminded me of our own farmhouse in Virginia. We live on a farm, but inside feels like home away from home. Loved it! The pool was a huge hit with our adult and grand children. My husband and son enjoyed the complementary wine while I enjoyed everything from laundry detergent, to all necessities to make meals, to toiletries that were all provided and appreciated. I can’t say enough how much we enjoyed this gorgeous home. The master waterfall shower, comfortable beds, the high end bedding were some of my favorites. We all really enjoyed the pool. Outdoor and indoor games provided. Vacations can be stressful. Not here. Heather made me feel like a sister offering restaurant suggestions for our family as well as with my dietary needs. Her detailed binder of house info and area was so helpful. When I asked for local events, she invited us to her church home for 4th of July event along with other great local suggestions. When we return to the area, fully plan to stay in here again. A week in this home wasn’t nearly enough time. Thank you for everything, Heather!!

About the host

Hosted by Heather Ghereben

Host profile image
I’m originally from California. I’m a former elementary school principal. I’ve worked in education for 27 years till we decided to move our family to the great state of Texas!
I have found my new passion in the short term investment housing world. I love making spaces beautiful for my guests and making them feel like they’ve come home.
Now I mentor and help other hosts design and create their spaces for their guests.

Why they chose this property

We originally remodeled and lived in our home while our current home was being built. Then decided to keep our sweet little house as an investment.

What makes this property unique

There are several things that make this property special. I love the street that this home is located on. It has beautiful large trees that line the street. It’s a very quiet, and safe neighborhood. The home had beautiful wood paneling when it was originally built which we kept, but painted a cozy warm white. Very few homes this size have 2 fireplaces! I love the size of the master bedroom, and that it has its own fireplace!
The old unique windows in the dining room also add lots of charm!
Plus we have a pool for those hot summer days!
