About Roseanne S.

My husband, a former motorcross and supercross competitor, love saving and restoring old homes. We are real estate agents, investors, remodelers and for fun we like "looking for the next project". Every now and then we'll pack an overnight bag and spend a long weekend at The Merlot House and enjoy everything that Grapevine has to offer. Sharing our home with others has given us the opportunity to meet some great people and make new friends.

Why Roseanne S. chose Grapevine

We enjoy all of the festivals and special events in the area especially at Christmas time. In the summer we spend a lot of time time on Lake Grapevine so the location works well for us. We love the real small town feel Grapevine has to offer.

This is a wonderful house in a great location. It has everything we'd hoped for and more. The house is very well furnished and comfortable, in a great little quiet neighborhood just a short distance from the shops & restaurants. We had beautiful weather, and were able to enjoy the beautiful backyard and outside dining. It's obvious the owners take great care in upkeep of this beautiful home. It lived up to the photos.

We all agreed we will plan another trip to the area and stay in the charming home again.

Never been in such a beautiful house before. All was so a lot more beautiful as already on the pictures.
All was unfailingly perfect and clean.
Especially Roseanne, you have been so friendly and care for all of our questions, despite the fact that we'd never seen or known us before.
Thank you again a lot and we hope to stay again in this wonderful house, when we ever come back to Texas.
All the best for you and your husband.
Highly recommended for everyone.

Roseanne, many thanks to you and your husband for allowing us to stay in your home. It was truly that "home". With all the great amenities and us bringing our tent to camp out back and hammock for early morings we felt at home. Great location quiet area. convient to all attractions. Our 9 day stay just wasn't long enough. We have and will continue to tell our friends and family to look you up when they make the trip to Dallas. If we can make a suggestion we loved the smoker however we also love to grill at home and the grill that was there was not large enough to cook for 6 ppl . A gas grill would be nice. :) Thanks again we will contact you again when we are ready to come see a game. like when the Eagles or 49ers play against Dallas... lol

Owner's Response: Hi Ron and Patricia! Thanks for taking the time to write a wonderful review! I agree regarding the grill...I've been meaning to upgrade it and will definitely do so soon. Do give me a call (or email) when you get ready to come back. Remember we have another home really close to the Cowboys Stadium too. And thank you for choosing our home and taking such good care of it! Best Wishes-Roseanne

This is our third stay at the Merlot House. Iit is a great property. The large back yard and patio are a great asset. The location is fabulous. It is withing walking distance of a number or good downtown restaurants. We highly recommend this property to others interested in a very enjoyable experience in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

Our Perfect 10 Christmas Getaway

5 of 5
Submitted: January 18, 2012 Stayed: December 2011
Roseanne,
The" Merlot House" was just the right fit for our family vacation this year. We had such a wonderful time visiting my husbands mother and extended family in the Fort Worth area.
Your home was so comfortable and cozy. Plenty of movies and games for family fun. It was so nice to have the Christmas tree in the house. We really did feel like we were at home.
Your kitchen had everything we needed. The floor plan of this house was perfect with the open kitchen/ dining/ living space. And an extra bonus was the Master bedroom with full bath for adult privacy and quiet at the end of a busy day.
The location couldn't have been better for our family to enjoy the holiday lights and various shops and cafe's all within walking distance from the house. Taking family walks together down main street at night was was absolutely beautiful and memorable.
Christmas in Grapevine? Ahhh...can't wait for next year!
~Blessings,The Hargis Family
