Frisco vacation rentals

A getaway on the cusp of Dallas

Frisco lies just north of Dallas in Texas and was first inhabited by the American pioneers who settled here after traveling by wagon trains along the old Shawnee Trail. Fast forward to today, and the city is booming. From your Frisco vacation rentals, you'll have access to sculpture gardens, sporting events, millions of square feet of retail therapy and family-friendly attractions that will keep the young, and young at heart, busy for the whole vacation. Frisco packs a punch when it comes to outdoor activities, with some of the best cycling trails and communities in Texas.

Bringing kids? Frisco's got you covered

Whether you're coming for a romantic getaway or you're taking the family on a break, Frisco's got you covered. You've got everything to keep kids occupied near Frisco vacation rentals, from indoor skydiving to laser tag, and bowling to karting. The fun doesn't stop there. The city is home to some of the most fascinating and interactive museums in the state which house everything from a half-ton steam locomotive to the world's biggest Pong arcade console. You can also explore a 19th-century haunted house or walk into a hurricane force wind simulator.

Out and about in Frisco

So, once you’ve settled into your Frisco vacation rental, where to next? You could soak up some local culture with a visit to the Texas Sculpture Garden, where dozens of striking, ornamental works of art by homegrown artists are studded throughout 4 acres. More public art can be seen in Central Park, an idyllic green oasis which is laced with walking trails and a running brook. If all of this works up a thirst, you can hit the local bars come nightfall, with live country and rock and roll bands often to be found putting on a show in various venues throughout this music-mad town.

Warm spring and fall are best

The summers in Texas can be hot, but if you nab a Frisco vacation rental between September and November, you'll enjoy a pleasantly warm climate and the nearby Texas State Fair which runs in fall. Alternatively, consider a visit between March and May when the temperature is also at its most comfortable and the city is alive with blooming flowers. Winter is the low season in Frisco, but those who visit in this time are treated to a peaceful place, and the cool weather just gives you an excuse to dive into some of the state's best restaurants to warm up.

The unexpected outdoors in Frisco

Located to the north of Dallas, around half an hour’s drive of the Big D, Frisco may seem at first glance like a simple slice of urban living. But, from Central Park to the Caddo Trail, it presents plenty of ways to escape the bustle and take in the outdoors. Walkers and bicycle buffs will be in their element, while over to the west you’ll find Lewisville Lake – one of the largest bodies of water in Texas, which is endlessly popular with swimmers, kayakers, and fishing fanatics alike.
