Location: Abilene, Panhandle Plains, Texas, USA (15 Miles South of Abilene)
Accommodations: Cottage, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath (Sleeps 4-6)
We are located on a hillside just South of Abilene, Texas. Hardin-Simmons University, Abilene Christian University, McMurry and the Taylor County Coliseum are all within moments of our property. Buffalo Gap, a local artist community, which also contains Shade of Hope is our 5 minute away neighbor.
Our construction is new, built with respect to the area flora and fauna which we feel certain will absolutely meet with your delighted approval.
... a place where the view doesn't stop till your ready to leave
... a place where it's quiet enough to hear the wings of the birds next to your front porch rockers
...a place where peace envelops your before you even open the doors.
We understand that you have many wonderful options from which to choose, so we encourage you to check those out and then, when you know that for which you are searching... come and visit us.
We have made this experience what we would choose for ourselves or our family. You will be treated as our personally welcomed guests.
Bedroom: beautiful colors and tasteful furnishings will greet you as you enter the bedrooms. Our linens are luxury, and the beds offer you to drop the cares of the world and rest!
Bath: This was the first non-negotiable when construction was underway. There is a deep cast iron (new) pedestal tub just perfect for soaking away the worries of the world... or for relaxing after a hike around the true Texas hillsides of our property.
Porch: sit outside in the Fall, Spring, or even into early November. We provide wooden rockers, cozy quilts, and unsurpassed views... we'll even supply our famous personally chosen coffee or tea should the season be right for sipping.
(you've heard of the "stars at night" in Texas... believe me... you will see stars!... most nights even the Milky Way!)
We will allow the guests who've stayed here to share more... maybe even you someday. Bless y'all lots as you search for just the right place.... here, or any other in our area... this is country clearly touched by the Creator's hands... and we love it!

Owner Description
hello from TEXAS!
My husband and I built these cottages 3 years ago and have LOVED getting to have them available for friends, family, and yet to be friends or family!
WE KNOW you will not be disappointed in your visit here to our Texas hillside.
Our family, kids, and grandkids as well as much of our extended family live here in this little Jim Ned community. So FAMILY is what we are all about!
We'd love for you to check out our blog with pictures from us and our guests as they send them. www.gatewaygetawaycottages.blogspot.com
Then, give us a call and set up a time to be one of our "people" yourself!
Be blessed as you walk this journey we are allowed here in this time and this place,
carla and troy (PS... the picture is one of our 2 yorkies... adorable huh?)
