Notes from the host
West Dallas Haven
This West Dallas retreat is a great place for families, a small group of friends, or business professionals looking for a welcoming space to stay and quick access to city landmarks. It's 5 mins away from the Medical District (UT Southwestern, Parkland), Bishop Arts District, Deep Ellum, American Airlines Center, and Downtown Dallas, and less than 20 miles from the heart of Arlington (Cowboys Stadium, Rangers Ballpark, Hurricane Harbor and Six Flags).
The space
This two-level private home has an open concept kitchen, dining, and living room space. You can prepare meals in a fully equipped kitchen with an electric range, fridge, and island prep space while chatting with friends or family. The extendable dining table is great for intimate gatherings where you can have a partial view of the backyard and/or the 75" Smart TV. There is also a half bathroom on the lower floor.
Bedrooms are all on the second level. The master suite includes a king-sized bed and ensuite bathroom with a shower/tub. The two guest rooms each have full-sized beds; one has a day trundle and the other has a rollaway twin, for a total accommodation of 7 to 9 guests.
We have a large, fenced backyard with a grill, fire pit, and a bocce ball court. There is an indoor garage parking space for one car; additional parking in the driveway and street parking is easy to find.
