Alla's bed and breakfast was a wonderful anniversary gift from my wife. If you love good conversation and interesting stories, this is the place. If you stay for any reason, you MUST try her organic breakfast. From reception to departure, we were treated like Kings and Queens. You will not be disappointed!!

We both ordered the organic breakfast, which I highly suggest to anyone fortunate enough to visit Alla's place! I still cannot get the delicious taste of those crepes off my mind! I have not stopped craving them since I have left! This is one place I cannot wait to go back to!!!!

My girlfriend and I arrived late Friday night and left on Sunday. Throughout our visit, Alla was extremely patient and attentive - it is clear that she takes personal pride in what she does, and she is very friendly and personable. When we left, we forgot a couple items and Alla was helpful in returning those to us - a personal service that went above and beyond that we really appreciated.

My experience with Alla's marvelous cooking is beyond my biggest expectation! The European dinners cuisine is like nothing I have ever experienced even here in Germany. Your preparation of the food reminds me of how my parents did it in the old days before the war; truly from scratch! I love your home, antique working phones and TV's, oil light fixtures, beds and 150 year old carved Scottish table! You should never stray from your charming presentation which is simply enjoyable! I hope to someday return and bring my family as well. They'll think they are still in Europe! All the best from Bavaria! Your new friend, Fred from Germany

We were meeting with friends staying in Dallas all week long, and this was an easy less than 15 minute trip to Dallas. We went with 2 other couples and had the whole house to ourselves. We have stayed at many B&B and this ranks among the top. Breakfast was amazing, go for it, do not miss out on the organic breakfast. This is a must have. We enjoyed our stay and look forward to our next visit. This is a family operation and we felt right at home. So much history in this house and everything inside is an original and works!

We were met with wonderful hospitality and from the moment we walked in we felt like we had walked into the home of a long time friend. We felt very well taken care of, catered to, and welcomed. Alla gave us a fun tour of all her collected antiques and the most wonderful part of our stay was the food!! Alla is by far the best chef ever and made us a huge, wonderful, organic breakfast every morning of our stay. She makes everything fresh, organic, and from scratch and I have never tasted anything more wonderful! The other amazing part of our time at Alla's that only added to the welcoming and relaxing quality of our stay was the spa and cabana that Alla provides. She created a very special atmosphere for me and my mom and made us feel like queens! I have come to love Alla and highly recommend her Bed and Breakfast to anybody and everybody!!

As I had a two Month business trip in the Dallas area, I preferred a B&B to a hotel. I couldn't have imagined a better place to stay. Both Alla and Rick did whatever possible to make my stay as European as possible, Alla even asked what my favorite dishes were and checked out the recipes over the internet to serve them the next day by surprise, not to mention the pleasant discussions we had with a good Belgian beer. An unforgettable experience I definitely will repeat and warmly recommend.

My husband and I spent 2 nights to celebrate our 8th wedding anniversary. Alla prepared the most delicious breakfast I have ever experienced. We had a candle light dinner for 2 with wine and candles that was presented so beautifully and I do believe the best salmon I have ever eaten. We had a desert thatwas so fluffy and sweet..mmmm.. The food is amazing. I don't know of anywhere else that we could have had such a awesome meal. Alla and Rick are warm and fun people that we look forward to seeing again-we met as strangers and we all hugged and left as friends and can't wait for another trip to Alla's where her attention and great cheer warm your hearts and make you laugh!

We were not disappointed! After a long day shopping we arrived at Alla's to find a very warm welcome, and some amazing hors d'oeuvres and wine. The entire house is beautifully finished in antiques. The breakfast was honestly the best I have ever eaten. None of it would have been complete, though, without Rick and Alla. They are so friendly, giving, and full of fascinating stories.

You have found what you have been looking for! Romantic ambiance, relaxation and a delicious gourmet paradise are just a few delights you'll experience and enjoy when staying at Alla's. For over two years now, whenever we're in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area, we stay at Alla's...she's located so close to many area attractions and really, we wouldn't stay anywhere else! Alla's B and B is historically decorated with gorgeous antiques from all over the world and the ambiance is amazing. The last time we stayed in the beautiful "Pelt's" room. We loved the very comfortable antique canopy bed in the gorgeously decorated romantic room. We also enjoyed the new large spa and cabana, made exquisite with privacy and candles. Alla and her gracious hospitality is what makes Alla's B and B and keeps us coming back. She spoils us with her friendly kindness and witty conversation. She is an outstandingly gifted chef and never disappoints us with her scrumptious breakfasts and dinners, in fact her food is in one word, amazing. She always greets us upon our arrival with wine and fresh baked snacks...this will appeal to any "foodies" delight. Yum! My comment wouldn't be complete without mentioning Rick, Alla's husband who is equally as wonderful as Alla. Rick has shared with us many stories of his extensive travels around the world and he's responsible for finding the gorgeous antiquities that furnish Alla's B and B. We have traveled in and outside the US and have yet to find a B and B that comes close to rivaling Alla's. Stay at Alla's and you will not be disappointed! Kevin and Dianna Kruse

But I must say that the breakfast was the "BEST" I've ever had and you have to taste it to believe it... Organic, fresh and abundant!!!!!! Elena & I will definately return.. We highly recommend this B&B but the friends that Alla & rick are to there guests is award wining.. They care and are terrific people... Enjoy a night in the past and stay at the more than words can say B&B... Sincerely, Elena & Chas

My husband and I are from Buffalo, NY. We spent many nights in hotels across the US taking our 1 month honeymoon, and to be greated with such warm welcome and love almost made me cry. Let me tell you the food is AMAZING! Nothing in any of the states we stayed in remotely close to being as good as Alla's dishes! I just wish I could take her home with us to continue experienceing all the love she puts into her cooking, and hospitality! The bed was like sleeping on a cloud! I can't wait to come back! I just hope my new husband won't compare my cooking...yikes!

You DO have the BEST B&B around! And in our own town, no less. My parents have raved about their two stays and one lunch at Alla's, so when we needed a place to celebrate our 17th anniversary, we stayed at Alla's ... and we weren't disappointed. Lively & warm conversation, a melt-in-your-mouth meal, a fantastic room and amazing still-functioning antiques all came together to make a perfect package. You come too, and you'll see we're right!

Dear Alla & Rick It's hard to believe that I have been here over SIX months......... and now I must move on. I am very grateful that the Lord put you in my life and that we have become friends. You & Rick have made my extended stay exceptional with your warm & lovely ways! I have so enjoyed the many conversations and debates of your homeland and your travels to America. More so -- getting to know your family. It's hard to live as your home is not only comfortable but it's been great being so close to my "HQ" the "Army & Air Force Exchange Services" and shopping areas. Alla, you are a delightful and wonderful woman. You add a special warmth to this home as does Rick and all the happy memories that have been shared in this home! I wish you and your family happiness and all life's good fortune! God bless. P.S: My husband asked that I share his words of thanks for all of the great cooking and conversations!

Dearest Alla, When I drove into your driveway for the first time, and you came out to my car with the most genuine smile, honest eyes, and angelic voice, I knew that I had made the right choice (it was divine) A million thanks to you & Rick for making an (otherwise mundane week) exciting, memorable, and a fun filled event during my visit at your B&B. When I spoke to you by telephone, I heard a pleasant, soft spoken business woman on the other line, however, when I met you in person - I met an angel. Your great delicious, exotic herbs & spices, perfectly blended , and prepared food, tea, and coffee, exceeded my expectations! YOU ARE THE BEST !!! Quality: Most unique decor - best tasting food in America, and prices can't be best - relaxing atmosphere, perfect ambiance! Service: You are lovely, charming and you made me feel like a quine in my own place. Cleanliness: Immaculate from top to bottom or floor to ceiling. It was incredible. How do you do it?

My husband and I were attending a wedding in Duncanville and though not far from where we live we decided to pretend we were "out of town". I surprised him with a stay at Alla's vs. a hotel and we LOVED the relaxing stay at this quiet haven. Alla's enchanting personality, the welcoming hug, the stories including the romantic way she and Rick met, made the stay that much more personal. Oh yes, we can't forget the wonderful dinner and breakfast. This retreat was EXACTLY what my husband and I needed.

I don't even know where to begin raving about this place -- from the amazing food that makes you want to lick your plate to Alla's fascinating stories about her home country (she is from Ukraine) as well as her adventures here in the States -- are a delectable treat to any traveler. The rooms are soaked with antique charm, since the innkeeper has gone out of her way to preserve and re-create the spirit of her 1920s house -- yet she also seems to have added a hint of modernization that weaves so perfectly into an impeccable picture of coziness and simplicity. The breakfast table alone deserves to have books written about it!!! I have stayed in several all-inclusive resorts around the US and abroad, and nothing compares with what Alla can whip out in the kitchen! From fresh-squeezed juices to custom-order eggs and crepes with homemade jams, she surpasses French bistros and German pastry shops alike!! I was absolutely impressed with how she was able to re-create these dishes so perfectly!! Her European roots truly show through in the kitchen -- there is absolutely no doubt about it!! This is definitely a place that I will come back to many, many more times! Thank you so much, Alla!

The best part about this bed and breakfast is the hostess-Alla! She is amazing and intriguing, and makes you forget about all the worries in your life. My husband and I come to this b&b often, and it makes us feel like we are miles away from home-even though we live only 30 minutes away. The food is amazing-all organic and tastes great. Her bacon is the only bacon I eat since I do not normally eat pork. The beds are soft, and the b&b is true to the antique period; from the antique toilet to the antique refrigerator and grammaphone. I recently visted with a group of friends and we talked on the antique phones and relaxed on the front porch. I recommend this place for people looking for a b&b in Dallas. Its affordable and its the best one we have been to. Bests!

Dear Alla, What an unforgettable way to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary! Thank you for opening your home to us - for we felt part of the family and yet you gave us the choice for privacy which made it all seen like well, we felt like royalty!smile We couldn't belive the "opener" - borscht! Immediately, a flood of memories came to us. We felt my ( Erna's) Ukrainian leritage was put on a pedastole and I wished my parents could have experienced it too. It seems incredible that we found such a treasure - and we only like about six blocks away!!! We will spread the news! Thank you SO very much! May God continue to give you joy as you bring joy to others!
