Charming micro barn offering a cozy retreat! 4 Acres, Sleeps 6, pet friendly.

Escape to the charm of country living while staying within easy reach of Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, and the best of DFW. This cozy MICRO COTTAGE (850 sq ft) is small in size but big on character, featuring Victorian-inspired touches, a comfy sofa-futon, three snug sleeping areas, and a micro-kitchen for light meals. Relax on the string-lit patio, cool off in the 8-ft stock tank pool, and enjoy a peaceful retreat at Crimson Acres, where rustic charm and modern comfort meet.

Welcome to Crimson Acres, a charming rural retreat featuring a quaint crimson barn with an illuminating outdoor seating area, perfect for cozy gatherings. The property is surrounded by trees and a winding gravel driveway on 4-acres, offering a peaceful escape into nature. Inside, the stylish Victorian cottage decor blends vintage elegance with modern comfort. The living area features a plush sofa-futon to offer additional sleeping arrangements, a kitchenette, and three cozy bedrooms, ensuring a relaxing and intimate stay for guests seeking tranquility in the countryside.

Pets are welcome at our property! We love hosting well-behaved four-legged guests. To help protect the home and ensure a great experience for everyone, pets may NOT be left unattended inside the property unless they are safely secured in a kennel or crate.

If you plan to leave the property during your stay, please do not allow pets to roam freely inside the home while you are away. Pets should NOT be confined to a bedroom, bathroom, or other area of the home in place of a kennel or crate.

We also ask that pets remain OFF all furniture, including couches, chairs, and beds. Pet hair can be very difficult and time-consuming to remove from upholstery and bedding, and we want every guest to arrive to a clean, fresh space.

Unfortunately, we have experienced damage and excessive cleaning needs from unattended pets in the past, so these policies are necessary to help us maintain the property for future guests.

Failure to follow these pet policies may result in an additional fee of up to $250 for excessive cleaning, damages, or policy violations, as well as any costs associated with repairing or replacing damaged items.

Thank you for your understanding and for helping us keep our space safe, clean, and enjoyable for both our two-legged and four-legged guests!

Guests have full access to the area on the left side of the driveway, which includes the crimson barn, outdoor seating area adorned with soft ambient lighting, stock tank pool, and the yard. Inside, all spaces—including the living area, kitchenette, and three cozy bedrooms—are available for a comfortable stay. While the full 4-acre property isn’t open for exploration, the entire left side 1 acre is available for guest use for their approved guest list.

We live on the main property and are readily available to assist during your stay. If you need help locating anything or have any concerns, feel free to reach out via text or messaging on the app. We care about the quality of your stay, so please don’t hesitate to contact us during your visit, rather than waiting until after your stay to mention something in the review.

This is a charming little property. Myself, my husband, and our six kids (ages 15 to 25) stayed here for 3 days and though the house is small, we never felt crowded. We brought our two medium sized dogs (standard poodle and a bernedoodle) and there was plenty of room for them too. The only thing I would tell people to note is there are several different levels to floors in the house and there was some difficulty in navigation for my blind daughter. So if there's someone with VI in your party, that might be something to consider. Adorably decorated.

Decent place to stay

Its a nice place to stay. It was a reasonable price. Its close to good restaurants and easy access to the 35 so you can get to the bigger cities quickly. Two of the doors inside do not shut completely. They just dont latch. It wasn't a huge deal to us but it might be to some. Also two of the room are partial walls into the living and kitchen area. So if you want or need a lot of privacy this might not be the place for you. We didn't mind and the place was very clean and the decor was very cute. It was a nice quiet place for us and our kids and we would stay again if we're out that ever that way.

Definitely not what we were expecting. I think the host should be more transparent with the listing, instead of labeling the property as they did. This “micro barn” has extremely uneven flooring that they use copious amounts of rugs to cover. There is no central heat or air (in the winter they expect you to manage space heaters) The ceiling in 2/3 bedrooms would be way too low for any person over 5ft 5in tall. There is a step up to enter the kitchen that should be marked better, and the flooring on that edge is coming up and cut my husbands toe. The curtains provided for the windows are all sheer (except for the front bedroom) which doesn’t make you feel like you have privacy. There is a trashcan for the kitchen that holds a Walmart bags worth of trash, which was kind of inconvenient with 4 people. We also didn’t like that you are required to wash your dishes by hand, and there is no dishwasher. This is unsanitary as you are relying on the last guest to make sure the kitchen ware you use is clean. But the absence of a dishwasher means that nothing is sanitized. Host: please get paper and plastic ware. I think the most frustrating part is the fact the host is not transparent in their listing of the stay. They highlight the things you can see and hide the things you can’t, like space heaters for heat and extremely uneven floors. If we paid 200 a night, KNOWING that’s what we were getting it would be one thing. But we feel like we were duped.
