Tony & Laura — a Texas family sharing their home with the world

Our Story

We're Tony and Laura — both proud Texas A&M graduates, married, and raising our family of ten kids right here in Parker, Texas. We've called the Dallas area home since 2006 and have lived in this house since 2015.

Over the years, we've remodeled and expanded this property to support our large, active family. That means the home is genuinely built for big groups — not retrofitted or staged, but lived-in and loved. The chef's kitchen, the multiple living areas, the pool with the slide, the bunk room — all of it exists because our family actually uses it every day.

When we learned that the FIFA World Cup 2026 was coming to Dallas, we saw an opportunity to share our home with visitors from around the world. We're not die-hard soccer fans, but we love watching the World Cup every four years — there's nothing quite like the energy of the tournament. We wanted to offer something better than a hotel: a real Texas home where a group of friends, a family, or a team can spread out, cook together, watch matches on the patio, and actually enjoy their time in North Texas.

During your stay, the home is entirely yours. Our family (including our pets) will not be on the property. A local caretaker will visit regularly to tend to the chickens, and we're always reachable by email or WhatsApp if you need anything. If an issue comes up, we can have someone there the next day to help.

Why Our Home Is Different

A Real Family Home

This isn't an investment property or a vacation rental built to flip. It's where we've raised our ten kids since 2015. Every room has been designed for real life — which means it works beautifully for your group too.

Built for Big Groups

With a family of twelve, we know what large groups need: multiple bathrooms, a kitchen that can handle a crowd, separate spaces for adults and kids, and enough hot water for everyone (tankless heaters — it never runs out).

Local Hosts, Always Reachable

We live in the Dallas area and know Parker and the surrounding communities inside and out. We're available by email or WhatsApp throughout your stay, and can have someone on-site the next day if any issue comes up.

What Our Guests Say

"This wonderful home helped ease the pain of spending Christmas away from our own home. The hosts were incredibly communicative and friendly. The house had everything we needed for an 8-day stay. We would absolutely stay here again."
