Stylish & ultra-convenient to UNT & I35! Quiet, private, luxe with a dash of cheeky.

Nestled among trees on a street steeped in mid-century design, get away from it all or get work done. The comfy, clean and modern space is complemented by restored pieces, vintage touches and local wares. 2 bedrooms with ultra-comfy queen beds + dedicated baths, plus queen sleeper sofa with new memory foam mattress. Gleaming kitchen stocked with extras. Positively, delightfully Denton!

Denton itself is a growing college city that has magically kept a touch of small-town charm about it. It's known for its spectacular live music scene, lively night life, gorgeous courthouse square, and its two major universities. Denton’s combination of history and culture, along with its convenient location just 40 miles north of Dallas, makes it a compelling travel destination for just about anyone.

The space:
800 sq. ft of newly built comfort and luxury. 2 bedrooms each have their own bathroom. Pull-out queen size sofa boasts a brand new, luxury matress. One of our personal favorite features is the deck in your own private backyard, shaded by mature trees. Even in the heat of the Texas summer, it's a lovely and serene respite from the world.

The Casita is located in the large backyard of our main residence, so we may even cross paths! You'll have access to the full Casita, the private walk leading to it, and the fenced backyard! We do our best to honor all guests' privacy and quiet - we're happy to engage, but we'll let you take the lead.

Other things to note:
We'll help make your life easier if you're traveling with small children! We can provide a pack n' play and recommendations for local sitters upon request.

The Gato Bandito is a real cat, and roams the property freely. He's incredibly friendly and charismatic, but please do not let him (or any other animals) into the Casita. We love hearing of your Bandito sightings!

    This was a perfect place to stay for a few people. The house was comfortable, convenient, and ready for us from the moment we got there. The host communicated with us well, and was available for anything that we needed. The kitchen, bathrooms, and bedrooms had everything that a person would need for a comfortable stay. The living area was great, and the back porch was great for sitting and relaxing outside. It was calm around the neighborhood, and was a perfect place to have some peace and quiet.

    We loved our stay! The place was so cute and had everything we needed. It was clean, open, and beautifully decorated, with comfortable beds and cozy couches that made it easy to relax. The location was perfect—just a short distance from the square. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay!

    Perfect size for the 2 of us. Loved the setup & feel of El Gato! Pictures pretty much show the place as it really is. Everything was clean, tidy & cozy. There were even a few snacks for us on the coffee table and cold bottled water in the 'fridge. Great location to use as a jump-off point for getting around Denton.

    This house was so cute and absolutely perfect for us! We had a 2 night girls weekend in Denton and this was the perfect house! It is in a quiet neighborhood very close to everything in town. Everything was clean and we were very comfortable. We would absolutely stay here again next time we are in town!

    This wonderful 2 bedroom 2 bathroom rental was perfect!! The decor is beautiful, fresh and very clean. Layout is well thought out and the place is so welcoming. It was fully equipped. It was easy access in and out and even being behind a home it was very private. I would stay here again for sure! Communication with the manager was awesome.

    We had a wonderful 3-night stay with 5 adults. The casita is beautiful and comfortable. Cool a/c, quiet ceiling fans, great water pressure, comfy beds, and everything we could possibly need in the kitchen. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

    My co-workers and I absolutely adored this casita for our home away from home. It was the perfect size for the three of us, had everything we needed (and more!), and gave us the coziest space to relax after our long work days. We most certainly enjoyed looking over all the Denton and El Gato decor as we sipped our morning coffee and tea. We also loved standing on the back patio watching and listening to the rain fall through the surrounding trees. The hosts were incredibly kind and had wonderful communication. Please stay here! You will be missing it when you leave! We sure do.

    We stayed here because my daughter is a UNT student and it is close to campus. The house was quiet, peaceful, clean, and extremely comfortable. Property manager was great with communication and went above and beyond making sure we had everything we needed. I HIGHLY recommend, and will choose again when I’m in Denton.
