Our passion is creating "comfi" spaces for people who need a home away from home. We believe you'll find our home is professionally designed with comfort and safety in mind.
In this new-normal era of social distancing, we want you to still have connections to your loved ones and your favorite entertainment. So we have provided WiFi internet and mounted smart TVs in each bedroom. So bring your Netflix or Hulu password and stay in touch with your world.
Book this entire house for your next trip to Marshall. You will find that this homey 3-bedroom 1.5 bath place was designed with your comfort in mind. We tried to provide all the necessities as well as a few luxuries for your enjoyment. And if you need anything, Marshall is so small you can get almost anywhere in town within 10-15 minutes. Welcome to the Piney Woods.
This is my 2-story brick house. You will find that the lower level houses the living and dining rooms, sitting room, half-bath, full kitchen and laundry/office. It is easy to get a good night's rest upstairs as the upper level has three comfortably furnished bedrooms. Choose from two queen-sized beds and one king-sized bed. For additional sleeping space, the couch pulls out into a full bed. Featuring hardwood floors throughout, the home has separate thermostats for the living areas downstairs and the sleeping areas upstairs. The upstairs thermostat is located in the largest bedroom adjacent to the full bathroom. The downstairs thermostat is located in the living room, just adjacent to the bookshelf.
For your convenience we have provided High speed wifi, Smart TVs in each bedroom and the living area, a full-sized washer and dryer and stainless steel kitchen appliances. Kitchenware, towels, sheets, bathroom, paper towels, detergent, shampoo, conditioner and shower gel are all provided for you.
There is off-road parking for two vehicles. Additional cars can park on the road. You have access to the entire house, with the exception of the garage which we are using for storage. We provide a hair dryer and iron, and a built-in ironing board is ingeniously stored in a laundry closet that is original to the home.
While you are here, this is your home. I will not be on the premises, however I am available by cellphone. Should you need anything, please do not hesitate to call me. My home is located in a peaceful residential neighborhood with mature trees and quaint homes. The neighbors will be happy to meet you and get to know you. Like in many small towns, Marshall residents are hospitable and kind once they get to know you. Introduce yourself and you might get invited in for a cup of coffee or a soda.
Although there are no sidewalks, the streets are not busy, so neighbors take leisurely walks quite commonly. On a nice afternoon, it is not surprising to see several families walking or riding bikes through the streets. You will need a car in Marshall, as there is not a great public transit system. Cycling as a form of transportation may not be very safe, as there are no bike lanes. And I love walking in the neighborhood, both because there is little traffic, and also because you may run in to some of our friendly neighbors. There are several options for getting to Marshall. The Amtrak train has a depot in Marshall, located at 800 North Washington St. This information is accurate when I last checked, but you should verify times and prices when you plan your trip. As of the time I am writing, the train is scheduled to depart towards Longview and Dallas once everyday at 7:50AM. The fare to Dallas is $25 one way and takes approximately 3hrs and 40 minutes. The return trip is scheduled to leave Dallas' Union station at 3:40 PM daily and arrive in Marshall at 7:01PM. It is also possible to get to Marshall by Greyhound bus once daily. It is located at 304 Interstate Hwy 20 E. If you wish to fly to Marshall, you can take a convenient flight to Longview (GGG) or Tyler (TYR), TX or to Shreveport (SHV), LA. These regional airports are about 30 -50 minutes away, with Longview being closest. The last time I checked, American, Delta, Allegiant and United Airlines flew to Shreveport. Only American airlines flies to Tyler. And it appears that American is also the most popular airline to Longview. The local hospital is within 7 minutes walking distance. The local courthouse and square are within 15 minutes walk or 5 minutes drive. Wiley College, East Texas Baptist University and Texas Community College are all a short drive away.
Caddo Lake State Park and other state parks are less than an hour away, and afford a wonderful day trip for boating, fishing, hiking, or just relaxing in the Piney Woods. In the Christmas season, enjoy the iconic Wonderland of Lights festival, complete with Santa's workshop, Ice Skating, Clydesdale Horses, festive music and of course, the dazzling Christmas Lights. Remember all of the bedrooms are upstairs, so if you have mobility issues, this needs to be kept in mind.
