Wonderful Gem in Abilene

Was a perfect place for our family, my wife and me, 3 adult children and two small grandkids. Feels more like staying in a historic inn. Allowed us to stay together, but spread out a bit! Amenities are well stocked. Sarah was responsive, communicative and welcoming. Would definitely stay here again!

Family Visit

The house is amazing! I rented it for our daughter-in-law's family, who came to visit from Chicago. They were genuinely amazed by how beautiful and gorgeous the house is. The stunning interior design, spacious layout, and attention to detail truly made a lasting impression. The house was not only visually stunning but also exceptionally clean. The owners went the extra mile by providing a closet filled with bathroom essentials, which was a thoughtful touch. Additionally, they thoughtfully stocked some snacks and beverages for the guests to enjoy. After such a remarkable experience, I can confidently say that if our family comes to visit us again, we will undoubtedly choose this house. I highly recommend this house to anyone seeking a truly exceptional vacation rental.
