Great Stay

House was modern, clean and perfect for a small family weekend visit to Abilene. Walking distance to ACU so if you are visiting for a sporting event for ACU or visiting your student it’s a perfect location. Close to everything you could need. Big backyard for hanging out and running around with kids.
