You will love this beautiful home in a superb location that's the perfect destination for a family vacation, romantic getaway, business trip, or relaxing weekend in Dallas.
The house is spacious, welcoming and exceptionally well appointed. Contemporary decor and comfortable furnishings combine with original artwork from the owner's private collection to create a sanctuary that you'll want to keep coming back to. Bedroom suites are self-contained, allowing for privacy, and the comfy beds and fine linens will make you want to lounge and linger.

But it's the spacious gourmet kitchen and living room that are the center of gravity here and perfect for entertaining, communal cooking, family dinners, and kicking back. For more formal entertaining, an elegant dining room seats 10.
As many of our guests have commented, the outside space is a serene extension of the calming environment you'll find indoors. It's simply magical.

But the pool area at the back is the crown jewel of this very special property.

What's more, the owner takes a keen interest in her plants and shrubbery so you're always surrounded by a colorful and well-tended garden.
Location: second to none. West Highland Park. Leafy and peaceful, it's one of Dallas's most sought-after neighborhoods. Easy access to DFW and Love Field airports. A stone's throw from Whole Foods.

You'll never forget your stay at the Home of the Laughing Doves!

We had a great trip to Dallas and Donna’s house helped make it so. Wonderful communication with her for anything we needed, even restaurant recommendations.
House had everything you would need from kitchen necessities/accessories/appliances to nice beds, bath and beach towels. Had several generations with different agendas and location was great for all. Would definitely recommend if looking to stay in the Dallas area.

We booked three couples for a long weekend of exploring Dallas with a bonus of a total eclipse view. This home could not have been more perfect. The location is superb, close to Love Field with easy access to most Dallas freeways.
The home was beautifully furnished, and the kitchen was outfitted better than any VRBO I have ever been in. The outdoor space was very comfortable and perfect for relaxing, and the wood fireplace with gas lighters made for perfect evening ambience. The heated spa was also a big hit.
The host communicated promptly and made our check-in process easy. She was always available for any questions we had, and even went out of her way to bring by bluetooth speakers for our use while there.
There was a small negative in that the home is in a flight path for Love Field, the sound of planes passing over outside was a little annoying. The noise was barely noticeable inside however, and overall, it did not detract from our enjoyment of the space.

We just had a wonderful stay here over the New Year holiday. Donna is a fabulous host and the place in West Highland Park is a fun, unique home, very private, with garage and lots of outside places to enjoy. The jacuzzi and outside fireplace was especially fun!
We can’t wait to return for another visit!

Safe, friendly and inviting environment. We even hosted our family’s Thanksgiving dinner and the home is close to everything we needed and wanted to do in Dallas. We always felt safe in the neighborhood. This is a place to which we would return. Cheers!

This is a lovely 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom home in Highland Park. Very close to the shopping district. We were able to take ubers everywhere to shop and eat for under $60 per trip.
The beds were comfortable. The bathrooms were spacious.
We felt safe in the home; it had an alarm system which was nice.
The neighborhood is gorgeous. The house was clean with the exception of the kitchen. I think the housekeeper just overlooked it. Nothing major though.
The hot tub was not working but the owner came out to try to repair while we were there. It was a wiring issue but the owner gave us a discount since we weren't able to use it which i thought was appropriate and kind.
We came in for my birthday and the owner left me a gift which was thoughtful.
Overall, it was a very nice home in a very nice area and I would definitely stay there again.

Wonderful layout of home. Beds and pillows could be a bit softer . Pool lovely. Home close to Love Field and planes came over the area which we were not aware of. Beautiful tree lined streets. Owner was a super host and had everything ready for our arrival and house well equipped .

The home has indoor outdoor living. Beautiful courtyard entry. Furnished very artfully. Very pleasing to the eye. Has every amenity anyone could need.
We were so lucky to find this property as we had water damage in our home.
We stayed with Donna for 3 months! She could not been more accommodating. Always upbeat. We had two storms we had to take shelter. She called to see if we were ok and did we find here emergency bag! That was above and beyond.
I would recommend this home!

Lovely courtyard entry modern home. Open kitchen, living area with indoor fireplace and dining open to outdoor courtyard, pool, hot tub, outdoor fireplace. Kitchen boasts upscale appliances. A large pantry, with an
abundance of serving pieces and small appliances for any cuisine. Three large bedroom suites. This property is perfect for families, groups, or couples. I would highly recommend for anyone visiting Dallas. Great for long stays for all the extras and great location.
The host could not be more accomodating, she is a 5 star host!

The property is in a prime Dallas neighborhood. It is set up more completely than any other rental I have used. The beds are comfortable, bedrooms private with a bathroom for each. The host greeted us personally on arrival and was very responsive to the few questions we had. While I would like to keep it a secret so that I can book again, I would highly recommend it.

Our family spent the holidays in Dallas
celebrating the birth of our grandson. Donna went beyond to make sure we felt as if we were spending Christmas at home. Her home is always top notch and she really wants everyone to have a wonderful experience. Add the excellent location and this rental can’t be. beat!

We spent the month of December at Donna’s VRBO. It was the perfect Highland Park location. We have stayed at Donna’s many times as our son and his family live in Highland Park and every stay has been wonderful. The house is well stocked and put together. Donna is quick to communicate and very gracious. She even put up a Christmas tree for us to enjoy! We always look forward to staying at Donna’s when in Dallas.

Our family has stayed here many times in the past few years while visiting family. The Highland Park location is perfect and love walking the sidewalks in the neighborhood. Donna is a wonderful host and we have always enjoyed our stay. The home and outside spaces are serene…a perfect home away from home.

First, Donna and her property are the Gold Standard for VRBO. Donna was gracious and responsive while her property is one of the finest you'll fine. And we looked! We were very particular about location, amenities and vibe. This property exceeded our expectations. Second, too much to list but pool/hot tub, office, kitchen (every supplies you can think of) and master bedroom were first class. Lastly, the interior decor is professional grade. When you walk in, you instantly know you made the right decision.
Treat yourself.
Thanks Donna!

This house was great for a weekend getaway! I wanted something with a nice backyard to swim and grill and this place did not disappoint. The house itself is its own little oasis….in an awesome neighborhood. All of the homes are beautiful and the location in Dallas couldn’t be better.
The kitchen and pantry have everything you would need and more. We had Whole Foods delivered and didn’t have to leave the house for anything.
The beds are super comfortable which is always important.
We spent most of our time in the backyard. Our son loved being back there swimming and watching the planes overhead. So, you do get a tad of the noise from Love Field, but it wasn’t an issue for us.
If we are ever back in Dallas, we will definitely stay here again!

The house was perfect as my husband was originally from the area. Easy to get to where we needed to be. Everything was a short drive. We enjoyed the pool the large bedrooms and the well stocked kitchen. We loved our stay. Would absolutely stay here again. The owner and property manager were lovely!

First off working with Donna was a delight, returned texts quickly and easy to communicate with regarding lots of questions I needed answered before committing.
Richard greeted us at the house upon arrival to go over things in the house. He too very kind and helpful. Unfortunately we never had the pleasure of meeting Donna.
This was our first time to Texas with our adult kids and we wanted a house to accommodate what we thought would be 6 adults each couple having their own bedroom and full bathroom. This fit the bill as each couple not only had their own bedroom and large full bathroom, but their own space for privacy. Nice open concept throughout the house so we never felt as though we were running into each other. The kitchen is nicely stocked with everything one needs to cook, eat at home, etcetera. I suppose one thing that would have been great to have is a bread knife to cut yummy bread bought at Dallas Farmers Market. Lol I absolutely loved all the windows to gaze out at the courtyard gardens, backyard pool and even the front yard, very peaceful. The house has an Asian Zen flair with beautiful art and decor throughout. The inside windows have these great black roll down screens to help with privacy, darkening and the sun from blaring in making it hot. The master bedroom even had floor space to have a workout which I did. 😊 Unfortunately here come the “cons” (I’m sorry Donna): because pets are allowed, my daughter found lots of pet hair on the sheets of the bed they were going to sleep on (after a phone call to Donna) she directed me to some new sheets; however they to had hair. On both the two extra bedrooms, the duvet covers had stains and crusty stuff on them. Also those two mattresses were not comfy at all. One of them kept slipping off the base. The master bedroom was comfy thankfully. Would be real nice to have a binder with instructions on how to operate the jacuzzi and maybe a few other electrical items in the house. Cleaning crew could clean better as there were lots of spiders and cobwebs in corners. Under couch cushions in the main living room, it was very dirty and had some nasty things (my daughter’s phone feel in between; hence is how we found that out), dog hair on main living room swivel chairs and outdoor patio cushions, master bathroom drawers liners were dirty so I opted to keep things on counter. Lastly, the Lovefield airport is so close you hear the airplanes inside&outside, day/night taking off. Take earplugs!

Just loved our long stay here. The house is beautifully appointed and will be wonderful for entertaining once it’s safe to do so! Donna was so welcoming and very responsive when I reached out with questions. We will almost certainly return during our next sojourn to the DFW area.

The rental process was seamless and easy. I emailed Donna several questions; communication was prompt and friendly..
The house was even better than the pictures. We loved the outdoor fireplace! The location was just perfect as well. We were within walking distance to family. We felt like we were at home. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

2 of my dearest friends and I rented this house for my birthday weekend. The photos don’t do it justice. It’s even better in person. Very Zen. Love the outdoor spaces especially. The weather was cooler for Dallas but we were able to enjoy the outdoor spa and heated pool. The outdoor fireplace with comfy seating was a favorite spot to drink coffee in the morning and wine at night. The gorgeous modern kitchen is beautifully equipped with every cooking/eating/entertaining thing you could possibly need. The bedrooms are spaced perfectly to give everyone their own personal space. The house wraps around a tranquil courtyard with trees overhead and a quiet space to sit and read or meditate. We will definitely be renting this house again. Our host, Donna, was amazing and added so many unexpected touches to celebrate a big birthday for me. I just say enough good things!

Our group of 5 had an amazing time at the house! We traveled to Dallas to celebrate a birthday, and to run our favorite half marathon which was virtual this year. What we really enjoyed about the area is that we were able to run from the house and we were safe on all the quiet streets throughout the neighborhood. The house itself is gorgeous, sooo comfortable, and well stocked. The beds are comfortable, all of the living areas are relaxing, and the best part of our weekend was hanging outside by the fireplace. It was a great way to spend a special weekend with friends. Donna has created the perfect space to go and have no worries about anything, and she is very very responsive. We will definitely be back!

This home was absolutely lovely and perfect for a long getaway weekend for our family! We were visiting out daughter who lives Dallas but her townhome is too small to handle all of us -- we needed a place where grandparents, parents and siblings were comfortable (one level), and still have room so our daughter could stay with us too! Donna is is such an accommodating host and is genuinely concerned that you have everything you need. She is delightful to work with.! The pictures of the home are accurate - the home is full of interesting art that is fascinating to explore. It is spacious with lots of cozy sitting areas. The bedrooms are so comfortable and very well appointed - our family is still raving about the linens and towels! The kitchen is fully equipped - with everything you would need and more in terms of appliances/cookware including spices, staples, etc. The pool and outdoor fireplace were lovely too - such a relaxing, comfortable atmosphere all around. We would (will) definitely stay here again! I can't recommend it highly enough. Thank you Donna for sharing your lovely home with us.

Donna was great to work with and the property was fantastic.
A very relaxing atmosphere. Clean and Neat.
These kinds of places are easy to find in South Florida but not so much in Dallas. This is one of a kind and top quality. The pictures are nice but do not do it justic. Location is perfect also.
