About the host

Hosted by Josh Jennings

Host profile image
I’m born and raised in Abilene. I enjoy fighting fire and investing in real estate. I like cooking, fishing, singing and song writing. I also enjoy making people happy so hosting people with a property that I’ve personally remodeled and put blood, sweat, and tears into is like feeding the guys at the station a meal you’ve prepared for them. I love it!

Why they chose this property

I chose this place specifically for its location. It’s south Abilene. It’s a safe and quiet neighborhood. I’ve met every neighbor. They’re all elderly retired folks. It’s close to the best restaurants we have. It’s right next door to Red Bud Park and the YMCA. The mall is about 1-2 miles away. I know ladies love shopping. This place is ideal for that. The close-by amenities are off the charts. Walmart is about 1-2 miles away. You can’t beat it if you’re looking to stay somewhere that has close access to everything.

What makes this property unique

This property was designed and remodeled for families and friends in mind. We wanted our guests to have their own smart TV’s so when it’s time to crawl into your comfortable bed you can access all your favorite apps for your own viewing pleasure. But we also added activities outside the rooms to bring everyone together because we believe people are truly happier after enjoying social activities with others before slipping off to their own privacy.
