The Neighborhood:

Turtle Creek is a bucolic, pastoral pocket in urban Dallas that is bordered by prestigious Highland Park, Uptown and Oak Lawn neighborhoods. In some ways it defies description; there are mansions on multi-acre lots here, hidden tree-lined streets with quaint homes and condos. There are fine hotels and great restaurants, and upscale shopping with both pricey boutiques and quaint gift shops. It has some of the trendy appeal of both Oak Lawn and Uptown, and also some of the most spectacular natural beauty still left in Dallas.

Turtle Creek Parkway is a beautiful boulevard winding through the urban neighborhood The Katy Hiking and Bike Trail begins in Highland Park and runs to the American Airlines Center and downtown Dallas. It is 1/2 block away from this home.

My husband and I stayed here when we came in to town for a reunion. It was a great house. Very comfortable and very cozy. It was very clean, and had a very comfortable bed with great pillows. It is on a quiet street but is walkable to everything we went to in the uptown/knox-henderson area. We loved walking the Katy trail each morning. The owner and her daughter were very friendly and accommodating. We will be trying to stay here again next time we come in to Dallas.

Stayed here for a mini-reunion with a couple of college friends and it was perfect. Beautiful neighborhood with easy access to great restaurants and shops. The unit is really comfortable -- kitchen is well-stocked, beds are comfy, and there's a nice back patio when the weather is suitable. A great choice for a small group or family.

"Top Notch Home"

I can not express the in words how wonderful this experience was for me and my family. I was very skeptical initially because the pictures on line were absolutely gorgeous. But the pictures did not do this beautiful property just and they were good. It was very clean, cool, warm home feeilng and centrally located to EVERYTHING! I had 3 -14 year old girls who stated "this seems just like home". Well, that is what i prayed for and exactly what I received. The amenities from the coffee to the wonderful feel of the mattresses were absolutely soothing and comforting. This was better than any 5 star hotel or resort I have visited. Another great asset was a walking/running park within .25 miles, 10 minutes from the Galleria, 10-20 from family and friends to visit and activities to do. The neighborhood was very clean, safe and quiet. If you are in the Dallas area and need somewhere that is very comfortable, has great hospitality from the owner,a home that is cleaner than hotels I have visited (I did not find dust anywhere); check out this listing it was great. There were a few mishaps with the registration but the owner was very accessible went out of her way to take of it with minimal to no wait time. I have dying to write this review and tell the world there are some beautiful homes that out rank any hotel in Dallas, TX. I am so thankful and grateful to this owner for providing such a comforting environment. OH!! I must say again the beds were the BEST! They were so comfortable I had to inquire about the mattress or topper to purchase for my home. My back has not felt this good in a long time. My husband and I both have back problems, but we slept like babies here. My first experience in a home away at this property has made it difficult for others to top anywhere. Wonderful experience!!!!
