We so enjoyed the family friendly home. The location was great; the home was great. Kitchen was very well stocked and easy to use. We could almost walk to Zoo! The sand box in back was a big hit for the grandson. We'll be back!

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!

Texas getaway

Wonderful property. Very clean, nice neighborhood. Everything we needed for our stay. Only negative was that the yard was overgrown so it was too buggy to sit outside.

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!
