Quite Country house with Exceptional Amenities

We stayed at the Sparrows Nest for my son’s wedding. I can’t express how much Sherry (the host) went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed. She communicated with us and was extremely helpful and understanding with our families dog (who is a tad reactive). The little thoughtful items that are around the house. (Extra toothbrush in case you forgot yours, items for your pet, fenced in back yard). Besides all that, they have a lovely nature path through their fields where you can walk and enjoy the flowers. (I enjoyed watching the birds and butterflies) it was a nice quiet getaway for a very hectic but beautiful weekend. It is located around a few different towns which offer food. I use the Wild Daisy hair salon in Leonard as well as the cafe across the street from them. Both were amazing. If you are going to be in the area and need a place 9 minutes from Leonard TX. I would 100% recommend the Sparrows Nest.

Thank you Liz for such a wonderful review! I am so glad you enjoyed a relaxing and comfortable stay. I enjoyed reading your and your son's notes in my guest book and the picture from the wedding. (Happy Innkeeper dance) You and your family are welcome back anytime (that includes your furbaby!) Sherry

I moved to Collin County TX 37 years ago from British Columbia Canada. I retired a couple of years ago and have been pursuing all my favorite hobbies: gardening, hiking, sewing, traveling, volunteer work, and time with friends. I am learning some new hobbies like embroidery and painting and now, Innkeeper!

Why they chose this property

This property feels rural and private but is close to several towns and amenities.

What makes this property unique

We are on an 8 acre corner lot but are in a bit of a bowl that is enclosed in forest on 2.5 sides. Sitting in the rocking chairs out front lets you enjoy the wide open fields and carefully tended flowerbeds. Sitting on the patio out back lets you face the forest where you might occasionally see a forest critter wander by
