Magnolia House - Furnished Monthly Rental in Allen, TX!

Or in our case, home while waiting for our new home. I needed a place for my family during the transition of a state to state move. We wanted a house as cooping two children up in a hotel room for 10 days isn't a great option. This worked really well for us; good space, nice and quiet. While I worked the family was able to familiarize themselves with the area. Terri was wonderful to work with. She's extremely responsive and helpful. Extra special thank you to her.

This review is delayed but it appears the same issues are reoccurring. In doing our business taxes for 2017, we are revisiting the experience and the expense. I planned to stay in this house for 3 1/2 weeks in October-November of 2017 for work training but left after a handful of days. While I at first appreciated the owners attempts to fix the problems that occurred there were new issues as time went on and we were two women staying on our own, for an extended stay, and we had to go for safety and comfort issues. Items that were issues- Garage door remote, lack of hot water (cold shower in master bath even though there was a note posted for how to use), wi-fi issues (we fell behind in work and training when we had no access), front door knob fell off, door did not seal properly, busy road at the end of the house, candles needed for musty smell upon arrival. We reported the bigger issues to the owner/property manager and let other smaller ones slide. Because they seemed to be nice people it was easy to think that we were just having an unusual experience. We packed up and left the house without researching the potential financial outcome and did not come back. I hoped the owner would refund the entire remainder of the stay since the house truly did not match the description or the positive reviews and because of the number of issues we faced. Instead I was told that I was wrong and that the water worked fine when it was checked after we left. This is just not the case. I did not have a single hot shower in the days spent there. I would love to hear directly from any of the people that gave the property 3+ stars. It could be a lovely property if treated well and the owner may be struggling but given our interactions and all of the excuses please avoid. We found a very nice house to stay in for the remaining three weeks that we felt safe in and would not change the decision to leave. It cost less and was clean and functioning. A tad bit more of a drive to our training locations but well worth it. Seeing the most recent review only confirms our decision.

I was in town for my son’s wedding and needed a place to accommodate 4 adults. The first night my daughter and I found what looked like a mouse dropping when we pulled back the sheets in the master bedroom. Well the 3rd day we realized that a mouse had been munching on a peanut butter/chocolate Twinkie that was in the package on the kitchen counter, and then found more evidence the last night with a hole in a bag that was left on the kitchen counter as well, gross. Never could get WiFi (none of us) so we quickly used up all of the data on our phones quickly and the water could have been a little warmer for showers. Just made the best of it because it was my son’s special day and we travelled all of the way from Ohio. Other than that it would have received a better rating!

Location is everything about this house. Centered around everything in Allen.

Stayed in Magnolia House for 7 months. House was home and we'll equipped. Owner and property manager were always easy to reach and addressed concerns immediately. Would highly recommend this property.

Loved the house. It was neat and clean with a very large amount of room. The kitchen was a lot bigger than it looks in the pictures, most likely the angle of the picture causes the small look. The location was great and close to everything we needed for our stay. I would book again if I needed a place in the area!!! They also made it very easy to rent and were accommodating.

We found this house extremely well appointed, very spacious and clean. It was well maintained in every aspect. As visitors from the UK, we particularly appreciated the fridge having an integrated water filter and ice maker! We had a hire car and used this house as a convenient base to visit various places in Northern Texas. More locally, there are lots of great shops and places to eat. We loved the Walmart Supercenter, Cabela's (sports shop), large craft stores and of course Allen Premium Outlet, all of which are within 10 minutes of the house. The Property Manager was helpful and responsive. I have literally no criticisms of this property, everything was perfect and we had a great week in Texas.

Overall a good stay. Had issues with the front door and hot water in the master bedroom.

Had to take my son to doctors due to chigger bits. Lawn was 1 1/2 ft high took owner 3 wks to cut. Everyone in the house was bitten. Poor response by owner to the problem.

This was our first time ever to rent a home and it was a very positive experience! The house was very clean, beds very comfy, kitchen/living area very roomy. Communication with owner/agent was very good too. The grass outside had not be tended to and was high and unkept, but once we went inside, it was something we could totally overlook. Great location too, you have everything you could ever need within 5-10 minutes. Would stay again and would highly recommend!
