About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Garden Cottage

This 550 sq ft private cottage, built in the 1940's is 15 minutes from the Arts District, 7 minutes from Bishop Arts, 15 minutes to World Trade Center, close to downtown, but quiet & secluded, nestled at the end of a cul de sac on Cedar Creek in Elmwood, Oak Cliff. With private gardens, Texas natives, mature shady trees, front porch with chairs, it's a perfect spot to unwind and relax after a day of exploring the many sights in Dallas or Ft. Worth, or a comfortable retreat to spend on contemplation & reflection after a day of work.
Queen bed with high quality bedding, fluffy towels, robes. Large shower with quality shampoos, conditioners & soaps/shower gels.
You also have an outdoor patio with chiminea supplied with wood and seating as well as table & chairs for dining al fresco. You will feel that you are in the country but so close to night life. It is also perfect for honeymoons, with lots of privacy and romantic touches.
Right next to cottage is your own private parking under a carport. Right next to cottage we have just built a small dog run with a gate off of the porch. No big dogs.
Across the driveway is the main house where we live. We can offer catered dinners in the very romantic backyard of this historic home, rumored to be a haunt of Bonnie & Clyde, as it was a speakeasy in the 1920’s.
Come, relax, enjoy! We will treat each guest special with individually thought out goodies!

Charming Vintage Cottage
The cottage is super comfy, private, clean and artistically decorated, inside and out. The front porch and back gardens were perfect for morning coffee and relaxing after busy days spent exploring the area. Location is great- close to restaurants, bars, unique shops and a DART station. Candice and Richard are friendly and thoughtful hosts. Thanks for the lovely stay, wine and box of goodies from the local bakery. We thoroughly enjoyed your beautiful cottage.

Perfect Dreamy Cottage!
What a dream little cottage! And an amazing garden too! Totally quiet culdesac in a sweet neighborhood. Unique furnishings, well equipped kitchen, and fully modern bathroom. Met the delightful hosts briefly, but had total privacy. The garden had little places to sit that I would have loved to use if it hadn’t rained all weekend, but I did enjoy the view of it from the cozy porch. The location is a quick drive to the Bishop arts area or to I-35 to go anywhere else. Snap up this rental if it’s available. It’s perfect!

The cottage and garden helped make the week's visit to Dallas wonderful. It was so quiet and the garden was very peaceful and made for a great place to sit in the morning. The location is close to shopping, restaurants and a park. We look forward to staying here again on our next visit to Dallas.

Serenity, tranquil, beautiful and the best hosts ever look no further!
I stayed at this peaceful, very clean, safe little gem for a couple of days. Candace & Richard (host) we’re incredible- kindest people and lovely little pups (especially meme). I have been receiving medical care in Dallas and this was my last stop. How I wish I would have found them and there gem in October. The little house is so peaceful she has a little library there and the bed unbelievable comfort and so clean! The outside is beautiful the host are first class and so is there little home. I will definitely be back when it’s a bit warmer to see the garden in bloom. I truly did not want to leave and get back in the real world. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for tranquility!! Thank you so much Candace and Richard you are the best. Thanks, Sharon

Weekend away
Driving in on a dark rainy day we were a little unsure about the location, but the cottage was so cute and very private. It’s obvious the owners spent a lot of time planning the garden and outdoor areas were because every inch of it feels perfectly placed and incredibly private and secluded, even though you are in a neighborhood with houses nearby. It was very cozy on a cold November weekend and exactly what we hoped for!

Amazing Cottage!!!!
Amazing!!!! The cottage exceeded all of our expectations. It is located in a very quiet spot with a nice front porch to sit on and a very nice private area outside for sitting outside and relaxing in the evening. Lots of butterflies and squirrels to watch and a nice little Chimenea for making a fire. The property is exceptionally clean and very comfortable inside and out. If your looking for somewhere to stay that’s close to everything but feels like it is far away this spot is perfect. The host had everything we needed and then some to make our stay comfortable and relaxing. Would highly recommend!!!

A Peaceful and Serene Stay
I booked the garden cottage for a weekend as I was in Dallas from New York for a work event. The garden is beautiful and was perfect for my morning meditations. I gained so much positive energy, peace, and clarity during my stay at the cottage. I was not able to meet Candice, but I had great conversations with Richard. I look forward to meeting Candice in the future. Whenever I need to travel back to Dallas for work, this is by far the first place I will look to stay. Thank you, Candice and Richard, for sharing the light and love of your beautiful garden cottage!

Private Little Gem
I was in town to visit family that I hadn’t seen since 1999 and so when I found this cute and convenient cottage. It was nicely furnished and had all the comfort’s of home that are a nice treat when traveling. I definitely enjoyed my stay here where it was nice and private compared to a hotel room. Candice was extremely gracious and always available for me whenever I had any questions. I would totally stay here again in the future whenever in the area.

Whimsical and peaceful!
Candice and her husband were terrific host! Very welcoming, humble and anything that we needed was met. We were celebrating our 37th Anniversary and also visiting our son in Dallas. Visited the Bishop Arts district and local restaurants in and Dallas. Coming back to La "Casita" afforded us a coming down of our adventurous day. The beautiful gardens about the cottage and little whimsical stations of art media, mixed with flowers and nature! I could go on. If you're wanting peace, quiet reflections and endearing host, well "The Cottage" is your home, away from home. Thank you Candice! P.S I was touched by you letting me use your special demitasse cups, that your mother had gifted you.🤗

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Kaseeta! It was beautifully staged we had everything we needed. The grounds around the property were exquisite with beautiful flowers and thoughtful sculptures. There were secret gardens and just a relaxing atmosphere. The hosts were kind and truly made us feel at home. They are the true example of Texas Hospitality. Would recommend a stay at their property anytime. Best stay ever!! Thank you for your attention to detail!!

Cottage with a Secret Garden
Our lovely stay at Candice's Cottage was an end-of-the-school-year gift to me and my man! Candice checked in on us daily via text which felt communicative while honoring our getaway. I enjoyed the whimsy of the front porch and exploring the flower garden. Inside, the wall art featured many of Dallas' iconic scenes. For being nestled in the busy city, this cozy property filled us with quiet peace. This cottage is situated close to the stunning Kessler Park area of Dallas. We were a 7-minute drive from our very favorite area, Bishop Arts. We love Bishop Arts for the fabulous restaurants, coffee shops, eclectic shops, street music, well...I could go on and on! We will be back! Thank you Candice!

Simply Wonderful
This was our first time renting on VRBO and Candice & Richard have set a very high bar for expectations. The house was more than we could have hoped and can best be described as comfy, cozy and homey. The private garden area is ideal for a sharing morning coffee, evening cocktail or late night drink by the fire. Candice and Richard went above and beyond with their hospitality, generosity and kindness. They welcomed us warmly and ensured we felt comfortable and at home in their cottage. Anyone looking for a wonderful time in Dallas need to look no further. If we ever come back we would schedule our trip around the availability of the cottage so we can stay there again.
