    Art Haven is exactly as advertised! It was so clean and comfortable! We were able to easily cook dinner for 5 people with plenty of dishes, glasses, silverware, serving ware and everything needed to prepare the dinner! Everything is well labeled throughout the whole house so you don’t waste time looking around.There were snacks available when we arrived. Margarette throughly communicated prior to our arrival with directions for getting into the home. We even had a need to contact her during our stay and she responded promptly and throughly.Due to the weather, we weren’t able to enjoy being outside in the backyard but it is so well set up if the weather had cooperated we would definitely have enjoyed the backyard, too.If we need to rent a home in Denton again, this will be our first choice!

    This was a great property. Well-furnished, decorated and very comfortable. Loved the art, record player and vinyl records. The outdoor space, especially the back patio was great for entertaining, grilling or just relaxing. Good location, adjacent to the UNT campus and just a short drive to the downtown area. Though on a busy street it was still a quiet neighborhood. Margarete was a great host, going the extra mile to make our stay special. Would highly recommend this property. We plan on staying here again on our next trip.

    We had a great time and this property exceeded our expectations! Priced competitively, provided everything you’d need for a couple of nights away, including great snack options. The environment was clean and comfortable and Margaret quickly responded to any questions we had. We would definitely return to this property.

    Beautiful home. Perfect hospitality.I've stayed in a LOT of VRBO homes. Most are fine (-it's like property managers all work from the same manual on how to provide a good experience for renters-). It's rare to find a property manager who knows what true hospitality is, but Margarete is one who has that gift .... She went above and beyond by asking about things we might like, then she provided it. Then, even more surprisingly, she asked me to give her feedback on what she'd done .... She was simultaneously attentive and unobtrusive .... The home is perfectly clean and generously-stocked, and has elements in it that you just don't find in other rental properties. We were delighted with the chapelle, and the albums and, of course, the artwork totally engaged us .... I could go on. Suffice it to say that if you're trying to decide, no need to look further. I can't imagine anyone being disappointed in Art Haven.

    We had a truly wonderful stay at Art Haven! The house was perfect, extremely clean, beyond comfortable, well designed and creative, and the owner was generous and attentive and helpful. We wanted for nothing, was provided with excellent recommendations, and she left out subtle touches that were specifically geared for myself and my kids. I hope to visit Denton many times in the future and do not want to stay anywhere else. I’ve never had such a stress free wonderful experience.

    We stayed here to celebrate our masters of composition student graduating! It was the perfect place to have as a homebase over the weekend to get back-and-forth to the campus. The property and the garden is beautiful. Everything is labeled so you know how to use it. It’s great. I had a few questions on the host responded very quickly.

    The home located conveniently one block from UNT campus provided us with comfort and relaxation. The beautifully decorated home and host were very welcoming; all our needs were met. The home was also allowed us to tour the region since this was our first visit to the area. Definitely recommend staying here.

    This home was so VERY comfortable! We felt like we were staying at a best friend's house who has incredible taste in decor and art, but moreover, went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and at home. Everything was provided from all one needs for coffee to midnight snacks to Q-tips in the bathroom. Comfortable beds, cozy living room, completely stocked kitchen, and fun dining room. It was the best VRBO we have ever stayed in. We were in Denton for my nephew's wedding, and if we ever find ourselves there again, we definitely will be staying at Art Haven.
