Very nice home with so much to do - perfect for families!
Was very impressed/pleased with this home away from home! The owners were wonderful to work with and we had a great time while there! My family enjoyed the darts, ping-pong table, Pac Man and all of the other games available...there was plenty of room for us to spread out while still feeling cozy. The decor was very nice and there were many extra touches that really made us feel welcome...the only minor complaint was the master bed, which was pretty noisy/uncomfortable, but otherwise we had a great stay. Would absolutely book it again and recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing place to connect with family!

The Ivey's are wonderful hosts!!!
This lovely Rowlett home is so comfortably appointed with warm design elements. The home is spacious and well laid out. Chase and Colette care about their guest's quality of stay, and think of everything to make the experience a special home away from home. Stocked with everything you need, and then some, with so many special touches for comfort and play. We made wonderful memories, thanks to our hosts. We will definitely book this home again for our family getaway!

Good crash pad
We booked this house to attend a wedding in Rockwall. It was a good location for that. Not much to do at the house or directly around it; everything is in Rowlett or Rockwall. The place is clean, but needs some updating. The AC is doesn’t pump enough to the bedrooms. Good place to sleep and make breakfast. They have a Keurig and provide pods, which is a nice touch. Owners make you start the dishwasher, laundry and take out the trash, which seems like the job of the cleaners (considering the cleaning fee)…not guests. Overall, I’d recommend the house if you’re looking for a place to crash and be generally comfortable. Probably not a place to hang out all day or night.

Hello Christopher, I’m glad you a good stay and would like to address some of these comments: This house has ping pong in the game room, darts, couches and arcade machine in the garage, oversized connect 4 and cornhole for the backyard, as well as a firepit with chairs. Not exactly sure what other activities you were looking for but everything is exactly as described. During your stay, the weather was in the triple digits, so I’m sure with a house with as many windows as this one, the AC was working overtime to keep up. In case you run into this again at your next VRBO, every vent register has a damper lever so you can control which rooms get more air in any house ;) I’m not sure how many VRBOs youve stayed at, but asking the guest to start a load of dishes and towels and take out the trash before they leave is par for the course. The cleaners do WAY more than that. We have many many reviews about guests staying and having fun at the house all night. I’m sorry this one wasn’t up to your personal standards, but as anyone can see with our past reviews on every platform, this one is a winner :)

The property was a great location for the events we were attending and it was a huge plus for us to be able to bring our dogs.

Quick Getaway Trip
Overall the home was nice and spacious. There were a few things I would change if I owned the property. The master bed was less than comfortable and seemed to be worn down, especially in the center. We could not get the oven to come on, but to be fair it may have been operator error. The second bath really needs frosted glass on both windows in the tub/shower. And the back yard needs a little TLC. But the a/c was awesome and the neighborhood was very quiet. And we were centrally located to the areas we wished to visit. Sent from my iPhone

We usually have people rave about our beds and ask what mattress so they can get one. The bed frame was broken and is now fixed. Thank you for bringing it to our attention and for your feedback on the home. We are always making improvements so our guests can have the best, most cushy stay possible!

Beautiful House BUT very Disappointed
Home was beautiful however when we arrived the floors were dirty, master bath had toilet paper pieces on the floor as well and the counter had water on it. One of the other bedrooms had dead bugs on the floor by the lamp. I left a message on the VRBO site and the Host called me and explained they had just been there to stock and sprayed the outside perimeter for bugs and that they must have taken in dirt off their shoes and her son washed his hands in the bathroom. I accepted that excuse and said oh okay that makes sense. HOWEVER as we started unpacking we started noticing that the counters in kitchen were dirty the holder that had the coffee, creamer, sugar was dirty and nasty, the table in the kitchen had food stuck on it and we wiped off the large table in dining room and it was so dirty it turned the paper towel black. We had to go buy cleaning supplies to clean, paper towels AND TOILET PAPER even though the Host said they had been there to spray and stock. there was 1 used roll of toilet paper in each bathroom and that was it witch is frustrating because there was 7 adults for 5 days! Plus we had to purchase more paper towels, wash rags to clean with AND we were not even able to cook because the ONLT skillet in the house was a small egg pan. The house at night was extremely hot because the AC kept resetting it self every nights so no one could sleep it was so hot and took so long to cool the house back down. The Master bedroom bed. It was AWFUL if you barely moved it made noise and it was wore-out in the middle my husband and I would end up in the middle of the bed in a V basically. Last we thought this was a non smoking house however on the patio had an ash tray okay not to much of an issue because it was outside but the garage were the games were also had an ash tray and it stunk so bad like cigarettes it was disgusting!!! We stay at a lot of VRBOs and Air B&Bs and we have NEVER encountered these issues before. This was not the experience we are use too and especially for the money we payed for this stay. I pray the Host reads this and fixes these issues for the next guest because other than buying food for cooking your guest should NEVER EVER have to go buy things for the house like we did nor should we have had to clean it like we did just so we could stay in a clean home!!

To anyone reading this: Please note all of our 5-STAR reviews. We remember this guest/stay well. The house was beautifully cleaned (we were there after the cleaners left and dusted and cleaned a second time just to be sure the place was spotless). There were (and always are) three extra toilet paper rolls in each holder in each bathroom, that is labeled EXTRA TOILET PAPER, and the kitchen is fully stocked with paper towels and every size pot and pan. As for the bed, other guests have asked us what kind of mattress it is so they can buy one for themselves. We do allow smoking outside and in the garage, which is clearly stated in our house rules, and there is a full stock of cleaning supplies under the sink in the kitchen, however the home is extremely clean so you don't need them unless you stay for 5 days and mess everything up ;) I'm very sorry that this guest didn't read the house rules, didn't notice the extra paper towels, or the toilet paper that was next to the toilet in a labeled holder, or open all the cabinets to find the pots and pans she needed. I am also very sorry that she did not alert us to any of these issues. We are more than shocked by this review, we take any review very seriously, but a 1-STAR review we take personally, especially since NONE of this was told to us until the guest stated it here. We do whatever we can to ensure our guests have the best stay possible. Some people you just can't please.

Great size
This home was good size for our family but to advertise as sleeps 10 and include the garage as a sleeping area was a stretch. The house was well equipped with linens and towels but could use more kitchen ware and a toaster. Overall everybody had a wonderful time with the games and the location was central to where we wanted to be.

Hello Ed! So glad you had a great stay. And I apologize for any confusion, but the garage is definitely NOT advertised as a sleeping area. lol Please let me know where you saw this so we can fix it. We have 3 queen beds in this property: 1 in each bedroom. We also have a pull-out queen-size sofa bed in the living room as well as a self-inflating floor mattress that can be used in either the living room or the game room if you fold up the ping pong table. :) Also, the property does indeed have a toaster, however it is a toaster oven/microwave combination (not what many people are used to, so we leave instructions in the drawer next to it) Noted to extend the kitchen wares. ;) Again, so glad you had a wonderful time and thanks for the 5-star review !

Absolutely beautiful home, just as pictured! Thank you Mrs. And Mrs. Ivey for letting us and our guests stay in your home. Lots of space, super comfy beds, tons of great games/activities, and amenities were perfect for our wedding night! A wonderful memory for years to come. Thank you again!

It was great having a house to stay in during our vacation. Any questions or problems were addressed promptly by the owner. My kids loved having the ping pong table and the Pac Man games during downtime. Thanks for a great place to stay!

I Wish We Had More Time...
We had an awesome get together in Rowlett, but just not enough time. All my family and guest enjoyed themselves but we didn't get to use all the amenities. The help and communication from the owners was excellent and easy to understand. They made checking in a breeze... We look forward to visiting again!!!

Honestly this has so far been the best experience with a rental I’ve had so far, the host chase replied back within minutes of me texting him, he helped with absolutely anything i needed, the place was great, would definitely rent again, chase is ridiculously nice, ridiculously helpful, and has an amazing place, great neighborhood also.
