This home is so charming and comfortable! It really feels like someone's home and not a rental. It was incredibly well-stocked with linens, kitchen items, etc. The beds were wonderful! We enjoyed it immensely and plan to stay again in the future!

The Lilac House is a sweet, cozy, restored bungalow in the Near Southside area - perfect location for strolling the historic neighborhood streets and Magnolia Avenue, and close driving distance to TCU and all things Fort Worth. The home is warmly decorated and has two bedrooms with queen beds, and two bathrooms with showers. The kitchen is well appointed, and there's plenty of space in the living room to spread out and chillax. We loved hanging out on the front porch in the sling chairs, and there is a huge backyard with more seating and a fire pit. The only detail that needs to be updated in the listing is that the sofa in the living room does not have a queen size pull-out (which we were counting on), but it is very comfortable and reclines. There is a blow-up mattress in the closet.Check-in was smooth and early as the owner so kindly accommodated our flight schedule. We had a lovely stay, and so will you!Go Frogs!

Lovely home! Great spot for our weekend stay. The back room was nice and dark for the baby, the front room could use some black out curtains. Especially since there are porch lights that the owner has requested remain on throughout the night. Beds were soft, something to keep in mind if if you prefer/need a firm mattress. The pillows could use an upgrade.

Everything about this property is great!My only suggestion for the property owner is to light up the house number. We arrived later at night and couldn’t see it because it was dark and was not 100% sure we had the right house. During the daytime you can see it but it’s in a location that isn’t obvious and can get obstructed by the tree in front.

Very clean home. Great kitchen amenities! Was missing bathroom amenities but host was very responsive and accommodating. Listing should reflect that the queen bed in living room is actually an air mattress and not an actual bed. House is located in a cute historical neighborhood and we enjoyed our morning walks.

2025 Livestock Show

My granddaughter & I were in Fort Worth for livestock show (4-H). The Lilac Cottage was only a short distance to the fair grounds . We thoroughly enjoyed this home for our 4 night stay. The area was wonderful with all kinds of things to do. We both woke up rested & ready to start our busy days. I would recommend The Lilac house (100%) to anyone going to hang out in Fort Worth.Becky HHouston, TX

So cute

We loved our stay at this cute house. Our favorite part was the outdoor sitting areas and the hammocks! The house is so beautifully decorated, clean and really homey feeling. The only downside was the sleeping arrangements, the sofa bed listed in the description details is actually a blow up bed. We assumed it was a sofa fold out bed. Other than that it was a great stay and great host.
