General overview
Our wonderful home is Texas sized at 3300+ square feet! We live in a nearby suburb of Wylie, consistently voted a top city to live in in the United States! Our city has a cute, historic downtown, small town feel with lots of stores and amenities and of course, delicious Texas food, coffee and bakeries! Texas BBQ, Mexican food, Thai and Indian food- we have it all here or nearby! We are also less than a mile from the lake! Rent a boat and spend the day out on the water relaxing or doing fun water sports! See my list below for fun ideas! We are also close to major universities such as Southern Methodist University, The University of Texas at Dallas, Texas Christian University, Texas Women's University, The University of North Texas, Texas A&M-Commerce, and Collin College to name a few
The space
A light and bright modern home with 5 bedrooms + 4 full baths + an office with high speed internet, perfect for those who need to work! We have 2 king beds, 2 queen beds, a sofa that makes a king size bed plus space for another 1-2 people to sleep, a full-size bed plus a baby crib and a VERY large playroom filled with toys! I love our beautiful hot tub, large backyard with a playground with swings.
Guest access
2 floors with a staircase, access to the front door via a key pad.

We had an amazing time at Crystal's huge Dallas home. The photos really don't show how enormous it is! Crystal and her family showed us such kindness and generosity and lent us their massive car as well as their home and gave us the opportunity to watch the total eclipse, which was amazing! We enjoyed the hot tub in the garden and the estate had a fantastic community swimming pool that we could use. It was such a great home to come back to after a day exploring. We were lucky enough to get the chance to meet Crystal and her lovely family before we left and feel like we have made great friends. We look forward to them coming to Oxford one day soon and getting to spend more time with them. Thank you Crystal for sharing your home!
Crystal and fam's house is indeed Texas-sized! I was super-comfortable there with lots of space to lounge, including the hot tub. A great kitchen setup, and I really enjoyed going out walking every day around the neighborhood and along the creek that runs through the area--lots of birds (huge owls at night!) and critters. There's a big Walmart for grocery shopping only a five-minute drive away, and the cute town center of Wylie just a few minutes farther. This would be a fun place for a European family to get a slice of Americana life (the ranch where they shot the TV show Dallas is due west of here, and there's country music at the Wylie Opry in the town center). And for me on a weeklong retreat/creative break, it was exactly what I needed! Many thanks to Crystal for answering my "Where's the..." and "How do I..." questions super-quickly!
Zora this is soooo sweet!! We truly enjoyed having you and you’re welcome back anytime!!!! Thank you for the kind goodies you left us and the banana bread you made with our very ripe bananas! You took care of our home as if it were your own. Thank you for exchanging with us! You gave us such a gift, truly!
Crystal and her family were great guests -- she communicated well and left the house in perfect shape. I'm glad I got to host her, though I'm sorry I didn't get to meet her in person, due to the timing of the swap. Thanks, Crystal!
We absolutely loved having Laura and her sweet family in our home! They took wonderful care of everything including our plant babies, hehe, and left us the sweetest British treats and tea! They also took great care of our car and filled it with gas which was very appreciated! We were so blessed to get to meet them before they left! Their family is so precious and we are looking forward to seeing them again and visiting them in Oxford! Friends for life! <3
Zora was so precious to have in our home! She took the best care of my plant babies and left the home immaculate! She was so kind to bring us some goodies from her precious travels and used our ripe bananas to bake bread for us! SO sweet!! We hope to exchange again in the future! She is always welcome and we really hope to meet in person one day!
We loved staying at Zora and Peter's eclectic, nice home! We were so grateful they welcomed our family of 5 in! My kiddos enjoyed the rooftop garden and seeing the beautiful growing grapes on the patio. We loved that we were a short walk to the train station and a short train ride over to the city! Astoria is such a charming, beautiful and walkable neighborhood with an abundance of delicious food, coffee, BAGELS! and restaurants around every corner. We enjoyed our stay immensely! Being from Texas and used to our air conditioning, we managed fine without it for the most part in NY summer time and Zora has lots of fans available! Other people would likely be just fine!!!
We hope to come back one day and Zora and Peter are always welcome in Texas! Can't wait to have them!
