We loved everything about this beautiful, historic home! There was plenty of space for our party of 7. We were in Wylie for a Pampered Chef Leadership Retreat and we loved all of the space that the home offered us. We used the large dining room table for our meals and to work. The kitchen is a big plus as well! It is fully stocked. Colton was great to work with. He was prompt to reply and help us with anything we needed. Like others have said, you will want to bring ear plugs as the house is on a main street. We also brought fans to help add white noise and to help circulate the air in the bedrooms. We will 100% stay in this beautiful home again. Looking forward to our next visit!

Communication was delayed at the beginning, with no contact during the week prior to the event. The host also did not inform me about road construction directly in front of the house, which made it confusing for guests to find the place and difficult to park. That said, the house itself was very cute. Events are welcomed but higher in price so I advise reaching out for estimates before booking.

Small Wedding

The Olde House was a great place to have our small intimate wedding. And had enough indoor space for people to move around and the backyard and garage area for entertaining was super nice. The only thing that I would have to say was in June, it’s awfully warm and we did notice the house had a hard time staying cool toward the afternoon and evening. We did bring in some fans and it made the situation much better. I would definitely recommend this place for an event. I think it would be a great place to have something either in the spring or fall when the weather is more desirable.

Wonderful!

We had an amazing time at this place! There were lots of dishes and seating for our group. We had a wide range of ages for my mom's 80th birthday weekend. Many from our group commented about how nice the property was. The large backyard was a hit. The event space was nice. First night we had the doors open. 2nd evening we closed it up and used the air conditioners. Tad smaller than I was expecting but it was still wonderful! The house had lots of seating for people to chit chat with each other. It was also close to lots of shopping and food places.

Lovely time at the Olde House

We had a lovely time at the Olde House. We rented the event space to hold my wife's 50th birthday party. Everything felt mostly in order and ready for us. It would have been nice to have had better pictures of the event space. Clearer instructions on how to unlock everything, and how to use the heaters in the event space would have made everything a little more enjoyable. Overall, it was a great time.

Property was beautiful and was exactly what I wanted for my wedding. The pictures do not do the venue justice, every room has gorgeous rich history in it, with unique decorations and nicknacks all over. The kitchen was fully stocked with anything one could ever need to cook, and was very well organized and BEAUTIFUL.
