The homeowner was very gracious and responsive. We enjoyed our stay. It was a very comfortable home, perfect for a small family. The kids room was awesome. Toys and bunkbeds were much appreciated. The TV in the kids room was also enjoyed. Overall, great location with easy access to our daughter’s dorm at ACU. Looking forward to our next stay while visiting our daughter. Thank you!

Beautiful family home

The home was beautiful and very clean. Jen, our host, had such a welcoming set up with coffees and creamers and a nice snack bowl on the counter. The laundry had everything that we needed for a quick load of wash. Everything was really just great, my family greatly enjoyed their stay!

Birthday weekend

We stayed here for my daughter’s 15th birthday wknd. We needed the extra space for her sleepover group to have room for games & movies. Host had everything we needed in the kitchen. Loved the little extra snacks, games, throw blankets & that there were lots of towels to accommodate my group of 7. Thank you!
