The Acre

Beautiful place to stay for a weekend with the family. The pool area is very nice and come with all the amenities. The house has huge kitchen which allows for several people to be prepping a big saturday dinner. Family decided that this is where they would like to stay in the future when in town visiting extended family. Property makes you feel like you are out in the country while in the heart of Abilene.

House was clean and pool was a great addition after a long, hot day in the heat working. Had plenty of space for our entire crew. Had to extend stay by one night and host was great in working with us, so we did not have to relocate. Will be working in this area over the next year and will likely be back. Thanks for hosting our team!

This was the perfect place for my family to stay while visiting my brother. There was a minor pool issue that happened but within a few minutes of reaching out the pool people were contacted and they were there super quickly. I highly recommend for anyone who is staying in Abilene!!

DIY Perfect Wedding

This was perfect spot for my wedding. My family and my sister’s family were able to stay the entire weekend which left plenty of time for a DIY wedding and reception! There’s not much decorating needed with the amazing decor inside and outside of this home!

We used the property as our wedding venue and it was perfect! Lots of greenery, shady areas, and provided tables/seating for about 100 people. My bridesmaids and I stayed in the house for the weekend and it was very clean.

Wonderful home and location

My family from out of state came down for my daughters graduation. My whole family enjoyed the house especially outside. The outside area is big and nice to accommodate a group. The house is in town and close to everything, but appears that you are in the country. I would highly recommend this house to anyone. Dawn R

Family gathering following a funeral

This property is amazing. Our family all loved it...and there was something for all ages. The hosts of this home are extraordinary, and were very helpful about caterers and making it easy for our family to spend time here. We would book this home again without hesitation and will recommend to our friends.
