Great location for dining/rodeo event. Lovely neighborhood for morning walk with our pup. Very cute and clean unit. Perfect for resting and being comfy between exploring and events. Dining info on door in unit was way more helpful than I thought it would be. What a great idea! This was our first time using Vrbo. Lovely experience.

Great stay!

We traveled from East Texas to Montana, and stayed at this location as we passed through Amarillo both on our way to Montana and on our way home. We stayed one night each direction, but the stay was everything we needed. Had we have needed to stay for more than just one night, the home had everything it needed to fulfill a lengthy stay. Though the location is on the back of the main home, I never felt uncomfortable and felt like I still had my own space! Bonus, it was super pet friendly and my boys loved it, too!

Perfect Tiny Cabin!

We have stayed in tiny cabins before and this was one of the best. Clean and well stocked. Plenty of hot water and great shower. Plenty of nice dishes and cookware. Comfortable bed. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Cute and cozy

The Rikey is in a great location. Plenty of street parking. It is so cute and comfortable. Sharon, the host, has gone out of her way with adding special touches and making this space a home away from home. Would stay here again!

Our pets were as happy as we were

Great place in town that our dogs weren’t just allowed, but they catered to them (treats, bags for cLean up, a dedicated pet grass area). Decorated nicely with fun little touches along the path to the Riley. Loved it!

All you could imagine in terms of things to use and then some more.

It's a very fair deal for a clean little place that graciously accepts your canine companion complete with a basket of dog toys and treats.

Great Amarillo stopover

Sharon’s place had everything I needed and more!. She thought of everything. Comfy bed, efficient kitchen setup with a large keurig selection, streaming Netflix, even some treats for my dog! Looking forward to booking on my next trip thru Amarillo.

Cozy respite in Amarillo

The Riley was cute with anything you might need to make the stay even better. That includes jolly ranchers and a sweet coffee set up. The bed and pillows were comfortable. I appreciated the charging station! I felt secure and tucked away during my stay.

Reilly House

The Reily House is clean, well-stocked, and full of handwritten directions. We've traveled 38 hours this week, and the Reilly House has been our favorite. There is a lot of love poured into this home.

Home away from Home

The Riley was awesome! I loved the decor, & very thoughtful signs placed throughout the space. I was blown away by the attention to detail of how neat and tidy everything was. Anything that I forgot or couldn't pack for my trip was available for use at the Riley. I really enjoyed my stay. The bed was super comfy & everything was very clean, & warm, & inviting. The Vaughn's are amazing people. Thank you so much!!

Everything you could possibly need

Amazing find in Amarillo. Ground floor private entrance - no steps - accessible. Tiny amazingly stocked kitchenette. Forgot a toiletry item? Leave’em at home - there’s everything you could possibly need in the bathroom, even a hair straightener. It’s quiet, comfortable, plenty of towels, good water pressure. The tv is mounted at the perfect height and angle for watching from bed.we used this place as a home base for exploring the panhandle from Pampa to Santa Fe to the corner of Kansas, Oklahoma, and Colorado. Fantastic experience, highly recommended
