Brooks Retreat: Swimming! Game Room! Staycation!

Accommodations were great, lots to do even on rainy days.

Activities for all 3 kids. Easy checkin…host was very responsive with any questions we had. Pool was amazing along with the pool table. Very large and open house in a quiet neighborhood. House was clean. Overall great stay would book again.

Really nice neighborhood and ideal location

The house worked well for our group

Great place to stay, surprisingly bigger than you realize by looking at it from the outside. The remodeling work is so cute.

Overall very nice place and would book again. Could have provided more dishes. There was no shampoo/shower soap only hand and dish soap provided. Also providing tissues and a welcome basket would help bring this closer to a 5 star. The games were great to keep the kids busy!

Amazing

Very quiet, pool was great, the back gate opens up to a park and playgroind area. Kind of an added bonus when you have small kids

We had people flying from all over the US to spend Thanksgiving with my nephew in Richaldn Hills who was hosting Thanksgiving. I chose this place since it had three bathrooms and three bedrooms based on all the different groups staying and it worked out fantastic. I also chose it since we'd need to prep for Thanksgiving and the kitchen is well-stocked and easy to cook for a family. I was excited about the pool table, the ping-pong and fuse ball and we had a lot of fun relaxing playing games. The pool looked great but it was off-season for us. Our host always got back to me when I had a question and made the check-in process easy. It was very close to the DFW and not too bad from Love Field and also 6 Flags. My son and I had a fantastic time at 6 Flags during our trip.

Let me start with the good before moving to reason for low star review. GOOD: Linens on beds and towels are very clean. Double recliner chair was comfy. If you are a large group of college students or a couple of families with small children looking for a large house to 'play' with no concerns about breaking anything (very sparsely furnished) and cooking/eating in are not in your plans, then this may be the house for you. You can quietly party, order in pizzas and play pool, darts, foosball, splash in pool (no ping pong though pictured) and even play tag in the house. The word 'economical' is used in the property description and we suggest you take it as a literal descriptor. BAD: The online photos were likely taken years ago because the home is much more worn. The dining chairs are different than pictured and there are only 5 total (not 8 as pictured) which made dining together a challenge; the kitchen floor is very chipped to the point it looks dirty (which also made the several dead bugs hard to see, yuck); the 'loaded kitchen' mentioned in the description must only refer to plates/bowls/glasses/utensils because the pots and pans are mismatched with lids that do not fit, there is a blender with a lid that does not fit, and a drawer of random cooking utensils that require a search and scrub mission; the fridge/freezer in kitchen was filthy. Bottomline for us, we made it work and will not stay again (we travel to area to visit family several times a year).
