Very nice unique property. Plenty of room for large groups. Description states the kitchen is fully stocked. We needed a mixer /blender. There was a blender in the cabinet but it didn’t work. The property was listed for sale. This could be what affected the kitchen tools available for use. Overall highly recommend the property.

We had a fabulous three-night stay! This beautiful historic home was in a great location, offered plenty of space, and accommodated our group perfectly. Several people in our group had never visited Lubbock, and this was the ideal place for everyone to gather and enjoy time together.Our weekend included a Texas Tech football game, plenty of football watching, poker, and a private tasting at McPherson Cellars downtown—which was hands down everyone’s favorite event! The walk to the stadium took about 20–25 minutes. It was a little longer than I remembered, but very doable, and walking allowed us to avoid a lot of game-day traffic.We had 10–11 guests staying at the house and hosted about 30 people for our pregame gathering. A taco truck was able to pull in easily and serve everyone, making the setup incredibly convenient.We could not have asked for a better home to host our out-of-town group. Our host was very accommodating and helpful with everything we had planned. We highly recommend this property and would absolutely stay here again!Suzie

This is a prime location for events happening on Techs campus. I would suggest tankless water heaters to supply a house that size with plenty of hot water. We staggered our showers so we didn’t have a problem. Signs were posted in bathrooms. Really enjoyed our stay.

We had a magical holiday weekend at the Mansion. Walking to campus, watching Tech on television in the great room, and preparing a huge meal in the chef’s kitchen made for a wonderful visit.

We stayed here for my son's graduation and had a large group. The house is in a great location, is a great size, and was very clean. We had plenty of room to spread out yet still be together. The kitchen is large and spacious and was a great gathering spot. The back patio was another favorite gathering spot. We also really enjoyed playing games at the poker table. Highly recommend!

Pleasant stay in a historic home.

House was clean inside and very pleasant to hang out in. Guests need more control of A/C. Home needs a coffee grinder. Perhaps a couple softer pillows. But besides that, we would stay again. Thank you

Home was very clean, had great air conditioning, fast Wi-Fi, luxurious bedding & comfortable furniture for our family of 6 adults. We had a great time playing foosball in the game room, sitting together in the family room & hanging out in the kitchen area which had plenty of seating. The backyard was really pretty with a nice water feature & has some nicely appointed seating areas & a Blackstone grill (that we unfortunately didn’t have an opportunity to use), that was very clean. Bedrooms were huge (Texas sized!) and had fun themes/decor & historical info. Easy walk to campus & the Jones Stadium for football. Wonderful location! Our host Eric was excellent communicating with us & checking in to ensure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend this property & host. We would definitely stay here again!

The home itself was beautiful, clean, and looked just like the photos, which is why this review is difficult to write. However, our experience with the host and lack of transparency was extremely disappointing.One major issue was that there was someone staying in the guest house on the property during our stay, which was never disclosed anywhere in the listing before booking. We only found out after check-in through the guest book/house information. Had this been clearly stated upfront, we may have chosen a different property, as privacy was important to us.Communication from the host also left a lot to be desired, and several important details about the property were not disclosed until the day of check-in. While the house itself deserves praise, the hosting experience did not match the expectations set by the listing.Overall: beautiful property, but poor transparency and communication made the stay uncomfortable and frustrating.
