"Victoria, We so loved your beautiful home. It was our daughter's Ring Day and 21st birthday. The home was wonderful for the family to gather to celebrate. We loved sitting out on the side porch until late at night visiting. All the little extras you add from the decorating to the soaps, lotions, and hair dryers are so nice! Everything made Parent's Weekend so nice! Thanks again!" Michael & Traci Wright and Family -- Weatherford, Texas

"Hello Victoria, I wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed staying at your house in College Station over Thanksgiving. With my husband in Afghanistan, I didn't want to miss having my son home for Thanksgiving also. We planned to have dinner there before attending the TX/A&M football game. Being in your beautiful home made us feel like we were at home and helped us make some memories that will not be forgotten. I hope to be able to enjoy Casita de Cruzita in the future. Thank you."

"Well-Maintained Home" I haven't stayed at this house, but I live in this neighborhood. The house is always very well maintained, and I see owner frequently tending to the lawn. It appears to be very well cared for and loved. This is a great, safe, historic neighborhood with tons of charm. And the description of a 5-minute walk to Kyle Filedis isn't exactly accurate, I would think it's more like a 1-2 minute walk! You could practically throw a rock and hit the stadium. Surprisingly, the dome shape of the field cancels out a lot of the noise, so you probably won't get a lot of noise while inside the home. I would recommend this home if you're looking for a super game day location or just visiting our fair twin cities.

"Victoria, We had a wonderful time staying in your home. If so reminded me of the home I lived in as a small child in the country ouside of Hallsville, Tx. Your home is cozy and homey which made for a totally relaxing visit with our son. On Thursday evening, my son invited some friends over - we cooked hamburgers on the grill and watched the Mavs beat the Heat in Game Five!! Those will be some awesome memories - the kids were so excited!! Sounds of laughing and joyous cheers filled the living room! Your yard and outside areas are beautiful and delightful - a peaceful place to enjoy our coffee in the mornings. The amenities in the house are beyond words. I have never stayed in a place so truly equipped with everything you can possibly need! Thank you so much for opening your home to families of Texas A&M students. It gave my son a much needed family-filled weekend before starting an internship - beginning in New York City and ending in Houston. Your home gave us abundant room to get his clothes organized and packed for his adventure! Thanks again for everything. We will look forward to seeing you again in the future." Sincerely, The Bufkins - Longview, Texas.

Dear Victoria, Thanks for such a wonderful graduatuion weekend! This gave our family an early Christmas retreat. We were all in awe of your beautiful house. Every nook and cranny was decorated and we enjoyed looking at your decorating expertise. You had everything we needed. We'll be back again! We came from Houston, Dallas, San Marcos, San Antonio, and New Mexico. Thank you so much! My sister called your place, "Victoria's Secret"."

"I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Casita de Cruzita. This is truly a home away from home! The owner has certainly gone through great lengths to show detailed and special consideration in every aspect of the home for her guests. Just about every basic need from spices in the kitchen to toiletries in the bath is proof the owner has her guests' interests in mind. Once you stay in this beautiful vacation rental, you will be aspired to return and stay here every time a trip to College Station is warranted. No disappointments here! Alice Pena - Austin, Texas

The laundry facilities were a blessing for the sweaty uniforms. Fajita night at the Casita was a big hit for the team - made use of the BBQ!

A 1 month stay --- "Our family loved your home. You have managed to preserve the original character of the house (beautiful wood floors, French windows, etc.) and yet provide all the modern conveniences (updated bathrooms, TV, well-stocked kitchen). The history of the home was interesting. Would have liked to met your mom and seen all the children in the house! We enjoyed the location-close to A&M shops and our favorite neighborhood in College Station. It certainly fit our needs while easing our daughter back into College life as she recovered from surgery. Thank you for the opportunity to stay here. We will be back."

Each time we came home, we turned on the fireplace and it was like being in your own home. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The bedrooms were fantastic and the living room was big enough for all of us! I hope to stay at your beautiful house in future visits to College Station. Thanks again!"

"We loved staying here over Thanksgiving weekend. It was great to have the ability to cook a full fledged turkey dinner and have the space to share with relatives and our daughter's friends. We had relatives from Idaho come down and join us. It was great to have a place we could all hang out and yet be close enough to enjoy the Aggie festivities. This was a great home away from home during the Holiday! The amenities you offer, make for a great stay! We really enjoyed our stay and were very impressed with the accomodations. It allowed for great flexibility with relatives coming and going. We would like to book your house in December 2010. You have a lovely home and it made for a very memorable Thanksgiving!"

"We love your house! It gave a scrapbooker like me many photo ops. We were here to have an early Thanksgiving with our 2 Aggies but if you smell cumin and garlic, it's because I cook Mexican food. That's what my Aggies love to eat and I love them. It was so nice to have a place to "nest" in after a full day. We are definitely coming back and we won't even care if we have Aggies at A&M. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us and sharing your love of family. Mothers are special and they never leave us."
