Property was nice, especially the pool. Kitchen was great and loved the big living area. Hot water in the bathrooms was an issue and one side of the house didn’t cool very well. Amazon type mattresses with no box spring in every room so not the most comfortable but fine for a weekend. Overall would stay again as long as hot water issue was fixed. Host was good and responded quick.

The pool was very enjoyable! The pool toys and slide were a great amenity to the house! The home accommodated our group well. There were enough pots and pans to cook for our group. Sleep arrangements were great; the beds were comfortable. The home is as shown, beautiful home. I highly recommend this home for a stay in Abilene!

We really enjoyed the property, it was perfect for 4 couples. A few things to note: there wasn't any coffee just an empty canister in the cupboard, the trash can outside was full when we got there, we unplugged the bottled was dispenser so it would stop beeping. Minor things but a nice place to stay overall!!

Great location

Our family was able to get away and enjoy Abilene while still being in the country. Super easy location to get where you need to go quickly. There was some miscommunication with the housekeeping staff on our arrival time but the owner corrected everything quickly and communicated constantly. I would definitely book again!

Abilene trip

The overall property was very nice; however, the cleanliness was very poor. Located used towels left in shower and in restrooms, spots on bed linen, inside trashcan was very filthy, and there was pet hair on floors. Property manager notified me five days prior to arrival that the pool would not be available. Since the pool is one of the main attractions to the property I think I should've been notified a lot sooner. The notification was after the deadline to cancel booking.

Lovely rural setting close to amenities. Great Backyard pool. Multiple outdoor seating areas and a play-yard. Yard needed weeding and general cleanup. Grill was a fire hazard and filthy with food and bones left on it. Outdoor furniture needed cleaning and repair. Loved the layout of the house with bedrooms on both sides of the large great room. Pocket doors located in the hallway entrances allow for the bedrooms to have extra privacy and decrease noise from living area. Dirty utensils and dishes placed in drawers and cabinets. Greasy dust on decor and lamps. Note: the master bath toilet doesn't fully flush until you hold it down for a lengthy time and wait for the gurgle swoosh sound. The master bed is large and reasonably comfortable. I personally would have preferred a thicker mattress. All of the beds are on a frame with no box spring. Multiple sheets in the hallway linen cabinets near the master bedroom. One bed was missing a sheet when we arrived. Two good size bedrooms and a bathroom on the side with the master bedroom. A second bathroom on this side with a walk in shower. This bathroom has a door that opens to the backyard and pool area. Two more bedrooms and a third bathroom with a tub shower combination on the other side of the house. This side has a bedroom with bunk beds that sleep 4. The other bedroom has a queen bed and a single bed. Great side for the kids. Overall, needs a good deep cleaning. Hard surfaces were wiped down and floors cleaned. Loads of towels.

What a lovely stay we had visiting with extended family. The pool and playground were the best. And the great room was big enough to accommodate all of us. We had so much fun, we have already booked for next year.
