We are so happy that you like our place, Brooke. Thank you for staying with us. Just for our readers to know, I am sensitive to night time noise also so we do provide box fans in each of our listings for white noise if needed.

Just what we needed

My husband and I brought our daughter to Stephenville for new student orientation at Tarleton. The Compass North was perfectly situated for all that we did during our visit. The house was beautifully decorated and so comfortable. We will definitely rebook and stay. Thank you Shellie for being an amazing host and allowing us to share the Compass North.
