Cozy, convenient, and nicely kept.

We had a wonderful stay while visiting family in Denton. The house was equipped with all things needed (coffee!) and it was very clean, updated, and cozy. Many accommodations were provided to make our stay stress free, and the location was perfect for visiting family. Highly recommended cottage. The owner was also quick in responding if needed for anything.

Awesome cottage close to UNT

What a surprise! Great location and fantastic place. It's MUCH larger on the inside than it looks on the outside. I don't know how they did that. Lauren is a fantastic property manager. We were well taken care of! This cottage gets my highest recommendation!

Dreamy Cottage!

As soon as you walk in the door, it feels like you've come home to that perfect little cottage of your imagination. Charm and luxury abound! Bedding and linens don't miss the mark - very comfortable. My son and I stayed for one week and were completely comfortable and at home. It's also super close to the campus (walking distance) and downtown. The owner has really gone above and beyond to make your stay relaxing - a coffee machine with coffee, a small basket of snacks, and toiletries in the bathroom. When we come back next year, we will definitely reserve this little dream cottage!

Bamarama

The hosts are extremely kind, and even after multiple attempts to fix a specific issue with this property, it persisted forcing me to terminate the agreement earlier than expected. The beautifully renovated house was in the perfect location and the perfect size. However, the 3rd bedroom wasn’t usable due to a very strong mildew odor. In fact, the smell seeped into the entire area which inevitably permeated all of my bedding and clothing. I realize there’s only so much you can do with an old home, but a repair is definitely required to bring it up to a proper standard. Unless this sort of thing doesn’t bother you.

Better Than 5 Stars

I've traveled a lot--camped under the stars, slept in train stations and in 5 star, exclusuve hotels. I know quality. Stones Throw is quality. Lauren and Doug's homes (I've also stayed at their Shiplap Cottage) include subtle details that make you feel like you're at home and pampered at the same time. It's fully modern, yet homey too. The art and furnishings are carefully designed to allow a nix of modern and antiques to work together. There is real art on the walls, games on the shelf, everything you need to cook or bake almost anything, and the beds are sooo comfy, And it's clean. Not just surface clean, really clean down to every nook and cranny. Plus they use sustainable, unscented products, so it feels really healthy to be there. Really an exceptional experience!
