5 Bedrooms • 2 Bathrooms 2 Baths • Sleeps 1-16A private backyard resort in Fort Worth designed for groups who want to stay in and actually enjoy where they are. Pool, spa, sauna, clubhouse, and multiple gathering spaces built into one property that keeps the day going long after you planned to.
Located in Westworth Village, just minutes from the Fort Worth Stockyards, Dickies Arena, TCU, and the Cultural District, The Preppy delivers a rare combination of privacy, design, and proximity to everything that matters.
The backyard defines it. A private sport pool, standalone heated hot tub, barrel sauna, outdoor bar with service window, snack shack, and a fully styled pool house lounge create a layout that keeps the group outside from morning through late night. A four-hole putting green, basketball court, hammock, and string-lit turf lawn fill the spaces between. The signature pink studio, crowned with a restored vintage cupola, anchors the property and has become one of the most recognizable and photographed features on the grounds.
This is not a backyard you step into. It is one you move through.
Inside, the tone shifts the moment you walk through the front door. Vaulted ceilings, expressive wallpaper, curated textures, and original artwork in every room. Bold without being loud. Designed to be lived in, not just photographed.
The Beauty Bar foyer sets the standard. Five velvet swivel stools, an oversized custom mirror, dedicated lighting, bay windows, built-in seating, and neon accents create a space where getting ready becomes part of the experience, not a bottleneck before it.
The kitchen is fully equipped with KitchenAid appliances, a waterfall quartz island, farmhouse sink, and multiple seating areas designed for groups. Two coffee makers, a dedicated coffee station, and an open layout keep everyone connected whether cooking, gathering, or moving between spaces.
A Pella sliding glass door opens to the elevated deck with outdoor dining, lounge seating, and direct access to the hot tub. The outdoor game room and bar extend the night with a service window, secondary refrigerator, Chesterfield seating, and a 72-inch pivoting television built for watch parties and late evenings.
Five fully designed bedrooms accommodate up to 12 guests. Each room carries its own identity, with layered wallpaper, original artwork, and layouts designed for groups traveling together without sacrificing comfort or space.
Some houses are built. This one was saved.
When this property came on the market, most people saw a teardown. The house had been standing since the 1940s, originally built for families connected to Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth. Developers circled it. Investors made offers to clear it.
We saw something worth fighting for.
What stopped us were the live oak trees. Decades old, canopied, and preserved by someone long before us. They are the reason the backyard exists the way it does.
What came next was seven months of full reconstruction. Structure, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, all rebuilt. There were moments the project stalled, moments the city shut us down, and weeks where the only option was to keep moving forward without looking up.
We looked up when it was finished.
Jenna, the designer behind Winton and Waits, brought her full vision into the home. Layered pattern, bold color, Ralph Lauren energy with a Fort Worth edge. We debated parts of it. She won. She was right.
The Preppy is now the most photographed property in our portfolio.
You feel it the moment you walk in.

About the Owner
We are Ty and Jenna, the founders of Life of the Modern Nomads. Ty spent over 20 years as a luxury custom home builder before we made the shift into hospitality. Jenna is a designer, entrepreneur, and the founder of Winton and Waits, a boutique lifestyle brand with locations in Fort Worth and Aledo. Together we build, design, and host every property in this collection ourselves. Nothing is outsourced. Nothing is accidental. Every detail in every home was chosen by us, for a reason. We have lived and worked in the Fort Worth and Granbury area for nearly 30 years. We are not investors who manage properties from a distance. We are locals who know this region deeply, care about it genuinely, and take personal pride in every stay that happens inside one of our homes. Our background in custom home building means we approach hospitality the way a builder approaches a custom project. The finish level matters. The layout matters. The way a space makes you feel the moment you walk in matters. We do not cut corners and we do not settle for good enough. That standard is visible in every property we host and it is the reason guests come back. We are glad you found us and we look forward to taking care of you. ~ Jenna and Ty Life of the Modern Nomads

Rates at The Preppy reflect the private backyard resort setting, the scale of the outdoor experience, and the design-forward nature of the property. This is a Fort Worth group retreat featuring a pool, hot tub, sauna, clubhouse, and multiple gathering spaces, and pricing is set accordingly. Rates vary based on season, demand, local events, and holidays in Fort Worth, including TCU events, Dickies Arena concerts, Stockyards weekends, and major citywide events. Spring and fall weekends, holiday periods, and high-demand dates reflect peak pricing and may require minimum stay adjustments. Weekend rates typically apply Thursday through Saturday. We do not discount for weather, early departures, or unused amenities. Extended stays may qualify for adjusted pricing when available. Please review occupancy guidelines carefully. The home accommodates up to 12 guests. To finalize your reservation, a standard rental agreement and a refundable security hold are required. Both are standard, platform-approved processes used by professional short-term rental operators. The security hold is not a charge and is only applied if there is documented damage. It is placed prior to arrival and automatically released after checkout when the home is left in good condition. ~ Jenna and Ty
