We look after three homes in three very different places: a quiet street in Dallas, the shore of Lake Glenville near Cullowhee and a sunny neighborhood in Tampa. Each one suits a different kind of trip. Here is how to pick the one that fits yours.
Start With Your Group Size
The easiest way to narrow it down is to count heads. Our homes sleep 6, 8 and 16 guests, so the size of your group often points you straight to the right one.
Dallas, TexasDallas Retreat Near White RockSleeps 6, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms. A renovated ranch home in a quiet neighborhood near White Rock Lake.
Tampa, FloridaPool Haven HomeSleeps 8, 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms. A family-friendly home with a private pool in a quiet, walkable neighborhood.
Cullowhee, North CarolinaLakefront RetreatSleeps 16, 4 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms. A lake-access retreat at Lake Glenville with a private dock.
If you are somewhere in between, it is worth thinking about bedrooms as well as the total number of guests. Families who want a room each will find more space in the four-bedroom homes.
Think About the Days You Want
Once you know which homes fit your group, think about how you want to spend your days.
City days and lake walks: Dallas
The Dallas Retreat is a comfortable base for exploring the city. White Rock Lake and the Dallas Arboretum are nearby for time outdoors, and the house suits family visits, work trips and weekend getaways.
Lake days and mountain towns: Cullowhee
The Lakefront Retreat is made for time on the water, with a private dock, kayaks and paddle boards, plus a deck and fire pit for the evenings. Cashiers, Highlands and Sapphire Valley are close by for scenic drives.
Theme parks, animals and beach days: Tampa
Pool Haven Home pairs a private pool with game nights and outdoor grilling. Busch Gardens and ZooTampa are nearby, and Clearwater is within driving distance when you want a beach day.
