About this property

Our little red house is within walking distance to historic downtown Grapevine (the Christmas Capital of Texas) as well as within 8 minutes to the airport. From the large enclosed backyard, you can hear the music playing at the festivals throughout the year as well as sit and enjoy the squirrels antics. Over the last three years, this original cotton field home has been completely renovated and welcomes all visitors - even furry ones
The back yard is next to be renovated. It is secure and large. Enjoy.

Stellar location and communication

Location is awesome! Cleanliness, quality of amenities, and overall condition of the property relative to the price could be improved. However, it is not overstating to say the responsiveness of the property owner outweighed all of that.

the little red gem

Loved it. Kari was quick in answering any questions we had. After working through 10 meetings every day at the convention, our 3 team members enjoyed this comfy house to decompress, debrief, and disengage. It's super close to the Convention Center and all the downtown Grapevine coffee houses and restaurants, plus our last minute needs at CVS and the grocery store. Highly recommend. A tip: we pre-scheduled Lyft every morning and then booked a return on the fly to go back and forth to the Gaylord Texan saving some money on the 45 per day parking.

Perfect location!

Just a few blocks to downtown Grapevine! Wonderful layout with two “wings”. Master bath & bedroom on one side and two beds & bath on the other. Fenced yard is a major plus for our 2 puppies. Wine from the host was a lovely surprise. Double oven also a plus!

Cute cottage

We were very pleased with our stay at the Little Red House. It was nicely decorated for Christmas and centrally located to the Historic district. We loved that it was pet friendly. Our dogs enjoyed running in the fence backyard. We definitely will return in the future!

Short hair

All was well and had a great experience except for one thing. Couldn’t get over the dog hair I spotted in the house. I’m not an indoor dog owner and I have a tendency to notice things like that.

Just what I needed

I was in town for a few weeks for work and this house made the stay more like home. Very accommodating hosts. Clean. Fun art all over. Conveniently located. Big yard for the dogs to run around in. It was a very good experience and I recommend it to anyone.

Great Location & Communication

I stayed at Kari's property with my husband and 9 1/2 year old dog in early November. Kari was very easy to communicate with and was always quick to respond to any inquiry. We loved the gesture of the welcome bottles of wine she left and enjoyed those to unwind after our very long drive from Illinois. The location of this house was excellent, being very close to downtown Grapevine and Arlington, where we went to see an NFL game. We also appreciated the large completely fenced in backyard that made it safe to let our dog off leash to potty and sniff and enjoy the fresh air (thank you for providing a pooper scooper, so thoughtful!). The house itself was suitable and was fine for our short stay, but does lack the comfort/tidiness needed for long-term rentals/vacations. Overall, we were satisfied with our stay and appreciated being welcomed.

About the host

Hosted by Kari Perkins

My husband and I love Grapevine. We love to travel but really prefer the personal touches of staying at a home. We have 2 short term rentals in the area and are always close by to help out any visitors - unless we are travelling ourselves. (Then we have a back up.) We moved out of the home in 2004 to be closer to my husband's work and to start the downsizing process. We moved to a larger home in 2018 as to accommodate family. It is all about family. We love Grapevine and all that it has to offer.

Why they chose this property

This property has history and the location is spectacular. Close to everything but not close enough that our driveway and street are packed with cars every weekend. The kitchen is great to cook in and the master bedroom skylights help with relaxation.
