Bungalow Chic Cottage; family friendly

Family friendly neighborhood, house and yard. Home is located in the Historic District of Lancaster, Texas. 18 minutes from downtown Dallas, Arlington, and Waxahachie. Plus, 45-55 minutes from Fort Worth, and Waco, Texas.

The neighborhood is very safe and the town square is just a block away. Make sure you pop in to the Lovin’ Oven Bakery while you’re here! The “L.O. Crunch” is my favorite cookie ;) There is a full kitchen with all the essentials you would expect to have at home. If you are missing something, please let me know and I’ll try to get it for you. There is a charcoal grill and a chiminea available for use on the back porch. Most of the furniture and decor has been hand crafted, or refinished by my husband and myself. Please respect our home as if it was your own. We are only minutes away, and love to meet our guests. If you’d rather keep to yourself, that’s fine too. We are always here to offer recommendations, advice or help when needed.

30 night minimum required. Corporate rentals welcome! Free WIFI.

Bedroom 1 - king bed, desk with a chair. Master bathroom is attached with a large walk in closet.

Awesome property and host, perfect for families
Great property! Wonderful host, Emily is helpful and quick to respond. The house is very nice and has a lot of character and has pretty much anything you need. It’s perfect if you have kids too.

Home away from home !
We were in town for sports event taking place downtown. I really didn’t want to be crammed in a hotel or even a loft/condo. We were 6 plus a 5 year old. The listing was perfect, quaint with all the essentials one could need while out of town. Comfortable beds and great showers. Even a children’s getaway for my little niece. Really enjoyed the property, just a quick 20 minute to and from the convention center. Would definitely recommend and stay again!

Lovely!
Thank you for making our weekend so restful and relaxing. We felt welcome the moment we arrived. All we needed was taken care of, and we loved the luxurious touches. Your home is simply pristine...so clean and inviting, beautiful decor, and perfect for families or a girl's trip! We especially loved: the sweet front porch and swing, the fantastic garden, the awesome master bath, the inviting family living space, and the comfortable beds with fabulous linens. We will be back!

One of the best
This is my very first experience with VRBO and let me tell you….Mrs. Emily is amazing. She was prompt with my questions and even checked in with me throughout my stay. She went above and beyond to ensure I was taken care of. Let’s not even begin to talk about the house. OMG it was so stinking cute and just like she said on the listing. The area is quiet and super safe. So many things to do around the area. This is a hidden gem and Mrs. Emily is the best.

Quaint and charming House
We really enjoyed our family gathering. The house was super clean and comfortable. The rooms are large and there was plenty of space for us to enjoy. We walked up to the town square just steps from the house. We enjoyed the old time bakery. We highly recommend this house and neighborhood. The owners were very accommodating.

Great Home, Awesome Location
Emily was great to work with on the rental. We loved the home, great space, great location. Close enough to Dallas / Ft. Worth to do anything needed. We were there for almost a week, traveled around and looked forward to returning to the vacation home each evening, as opposed to a motel. Would definitely rent this home again.

Old faithful
This will be our second stay and in a year from now we will hopefully have a third. Really enjoy this property, its a quick commute to all things Dallas and the house itself is charming and welcoming. We slept comfortably with all the necessary amenities. Owners are very friendly and we really appreciate all the thoughtfulness behind the stay. Kitchen has been updated very nicely and some new perks noted on the home was a nice surprise..Definitely recommend this property!

Great place for everything Dallas and Waco
The house was perfect! Great location, and very comfortable. We stayed here for a vacation to visit Dallas and Waco and this was the perfect place to start each day. The neighborhood is very quiet and the owners were wonderful to work with in setting up our visit. We would recommend this home to anyone looking to visit the area.

Cutest little home!
We were so pleased with our stay here. The home was very clean, incredibly kid friendly, only a quick drive to downtown dallas, and overall just wonderful. If we ever find our way back in the area, we will likely rent again! Thank you, Emily... you were a pleasure to work with! -kaila

Nicely kept up and decorated, quiet neighborhood.
Emily was a gracious host, patient with this first-time VRBO guest and answered all my questions within 24 hours. It was a great place for our family to gather (three couples) for a family wedding in Dallas. We enjoyed the Lovin’ Oven bakery and Casserole Soul Cafe just a block away. With a front porch and back patio, we could sit and relax in the sun or shade. Emily left a bottle of wine for us, a perfect end to a lovely day. Would definitely stay again.

Perfect place for our Family Vacation!!!
We spent 6 days at this house and it was wonderful! The location was great as we were able to spend time in Dallas, Fort Worth and Waco. After spending busy days in the city it was awesome to come home to a quiet small town. You were close to everything, but away from everything at the same time!! The front porch swing and the little Town Square were my favorites!! The house was decorated absolutely beautiful-We would stay their again in a heartbeat!

Great stay for our girls' trip to TX
My friends and I stayed here for a long weekend. We planned to visit Waco, Dallas and Ft. Worth and this seemed to be a central location between those areas. The house is really cute. The furnishings reminded us a bit of a Chip and Joanna Gaines house. Emily, the owner, was professional and promptly answered any questions we had. No complaints. Suggestion for the future - offer an option to hang clothes up on hangers rather than just utilizing a dresser. I ended up draping my clothes over the end of the bed so they weren't folded. Emily was kind enough to leave a bottle of wine, some cereal, milk and bottled waters in the fridge for us. What a nice touch! The reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because of the neighborhood. I would definitely describe it as "up and coming." Many houses in the area are in a state of disrepair and have poorly maintained yards. That being said, we never felt unsafe. The house is adjacent to a "square" that has little shops, a bakery and a couple of restaurants. We went to a bar/restaurant called Six Shooters on Saturday night and had a BLAST! Texas folks are so friendly. They had karaoke and a dance floor. Really small place but we loved it.
