Bishop Arts Retreat - extended outdoor living space!

It was a nice place with a lot of room for a big gathering. It was a fun location with all the shops and restaurants in walking distance.

My family stayed here for a recent gathering. The home is beautiful, as pictured. There are a few areas that need updating/replacement. For instance, the matress on the bed in the master bedroom on the first floor needs replacing (it sinks to the middle). There was an issue when we arrived where there was not sufficient washcloths available for the expected number of guests and the extra washcloths that we were directed to left much to be desired to the point I went out and purchased washcloths. The neighborhood is nice and quite. And the patios and balconies were very nice for gathering outside. Other than the issue with the washcloths, the home was sufficiently stocked with all the necessary items. There is a strip mall with a Kroger, a Dollar Tree, and other shops nearby.

Large comfortable house that met our every need. Would stay at again if in Dallas. Quiet and safe neighborhood just down the street from restaurants and and easy access to Convention Center. And communication with host was excellent.

The response was always timely from the first email I sent to the property owner and her team. We had family coming as far away as the UK and the East Coast for a wedding. The neighborhood was within walking distance of restaurants and had easy access to parks, downtown, and a hospital in case of emergency. I would choose this house again just for the excellent customer service provided by the owners!

Nice, clean property, in a great location and great communication with host.

We rented this property for our family while staying in Dallas for my daughter's wedding. There were 8 of us total, so the home was a suitable size for that number with plenty of room and parking. We enjoyed our stay very much. The house was in walking distance to Bishop Art's where there are plenty of restaurants, shops, bars, and fun! The wedding was held at House of Dirt on Bishop, so it was also very convenient for that venue. The beds were comfy, the water pressure was good, the back patio was an enjoyable gathering spot, and there were a lot of thoughtful amenities provided by the owner. I think my only suggestions would be: 1) Please provide more towels and face clothes for guests. If we only had 5 or 6 guests, this would have been less of an issue, but for parties larger than that, it's nice to have more than one towel per person so that there are towels available when other towels are being laundered. 2) The upstairs bathroom shower (not master) does not have a lip and is poorly sloped, so it leaks everywhere when in use. We had to use towels daily to block water from leaking out. 3) The handle on the inside of the master shower is partially broken and can't be used. This was not a big deal as we could open the door by simply pushing or pulling on the glass, but if the handle were to come off and fall on someone's toe, it would probably hurt since it's metal and likely heavy. Other than those minor issues, the home was everything we needed and more.

We had 8 adults stay at this lovely home in Bishop Arts for my daughter's wedding. Everyone was comfortable. We came and went a lot, but we did cook a big meal and play games around the nice long tables. We were able to walk back and forth to my daughter's house which we loved. We will likely rent this home again! Thank you for making our weekend memorable and perfect! Kim

Very nice house. Close to shops and food

I was very happy with our stay and was impressed with the open communication with the host. There were lots of extra bedding and towels available, and the host was quick to respond to any questions or concerns we may have had. I feel that this host went above and beyond to make sure that our stay was great.

The house is excellent for a large group. The hostess is super nice and accommodating to our requests. Prompt answers just a nice experience for everyone. Thank you!

We selected this VRBO rental as our destination to watch the April 8, 2024 eclipse as this fell in the path of totality, and we wanted the convenience of BEING in the moon's shadow vs. having to travel to it. This house met that requirement beautifully. The unexpected and VERY WELCOME surprise was when we learned that the house was in easy walking distance to the Bishop Arts District. This place has GREAT open-air bars & restaurants, interesting shops, and live music. A truly unexpected BONUS! The house itself was LOVELY! It was roomy for our party of 10 adults, but we had a bit of confusion figuring out the bed situation until we realized some of the twin beds are PULL-OUTs. It's listed as able to accommodate 16, but that would require some very specific demographics. We were 10 adults (4 couples, 2 individuals) and it would've been very challenging to accommodate even 1 more adult. I am something of a handyman, and there were some vey minor annoyances that I wanted to fix around the place - LOL. Of the 2 lights above the kitchen island, one bulb was out and we couldn't find a working replacement in the house. The microwave oven died overnight, but a call to the owner directed me to the outside breaker-box where I quickly resolved the issue. Like I said, minor stuff. All in all we had a GREAT time here, and we would absolutely recommend this home to anyone looking to have a wonderful time in the suburbs of Dallas, TX.

The house was perfect for my family who was visiting for the SMU graduation. We needed a first floor room for one elderly person and it was a gorgeous room. The upstairs rooms were also great for the rest of us. The 2nd primary was perfect for myself and my husband. The location is walkable to Bishop Arts, which we took advantage of almost every day. Access to highways and SMU was ok, but we knew it would be a bit of a drive and planned accordingly. The only glitch was getting the code to get in but it worked out in the end. Highly recommend this rental.
