Great little house

Great little house with an outside area with a fire pit. Great host always available when there was an issue. Only problem was the noisy traffic next door at Tinsley apartment after 10 pm.

Great location!

There is so much to love about this property! The location is 5 minutes walking or driving from all that Magnolia Market has to offer. Including Magnolia Table, less than a 5 minute drive. It is also convenient to I35 and Highway 6. The house itself is adorable. For a weekend or even longer stay it's perfect. If you have any issues with heights, stairs or ladders, you'll want to stay downstairs. But the house made fabulous use of the space available. Kids would probably love climbing up to their own room! We didn't use any of the appliances but they are all updated and look great.
