Great house close to the center of town. House was perfect for a weekly trip for work, pool was too cold to enjoy this early in the season, but the backyard was a nice place to relax and cook on the grill!! Would absolutely look to stay here again in the future!

This property is truly amazing and unique. We rented this for my son’s graduation party. We had plenty of room for our three sons, my parents and my sister and her husband. Every one loved the decor. We also had a small get together with his friends and thr layout teas perfect for our lunch Buffett and cake. I’m so sad we found this gem right as he graduated would have loved to stay during his tenure at ACU.

Beautiful home and easy to reach hosts

We stayed for my nieces wedding, the hosts were very easy to contact and receptive to needs. The only two downsides was the pool was dirty (hello Texas and trees, it’s unavoidable) and the trashcans outside were full upon arrival (another unavoidable if it wasn’t trash pickup day yet). Otherwise, perfect stay! My kids LOVED the secret room and we had family movie night out there. Thank you for allowing us to have a family weekend in your property!

Great place for groomsmen

The place is perfect for a groom and his 7 groomsmen. Unfortunately, they didn’t have much time there to hang out and enjoy the basketball court and pool. By the way, the young men had played basketball together in college. The host was so sweet and easy to get in touch with. I enjoyed chatting with her. Their hospitality is genuine! They left my son and his friends some sweets and a congratulatory bottle of spirits. Thank you!!!
