Cute house, great location and awesome host

We came here from Colorado for a softball tournament, we shared the house with 3 other families and it was perfect! The house was clean, had all the amenities and was a great setup. Holly was great when we had a few questions, and very responsive and quick! The game room was a great addition, all the kids and adults had a great time using it!

Week in Lubbock visiting son

House was perfect for our family. Stayed the week visiting our son. Kitchen came with nice complement of necessities. Nice to have a grill outside to cook on. Master Bedroom and master bath was great and roomy. Backyard was nice to sit outside and and enjoy the great fall weather. Neighborhood was nice and safe and great to walk around and look at Halloween decorations. Would easily stay here again.

Family Stay

The pricing was fair for the number of people and pets staying. The property could use a very deep and thorough cleaning though. The beds are not super comfortable, but there were adequate arrangements for large groups. The indoor and outdoor games were missing pieces so I recommend bringing your own activities. When the dryer broke, the owner was quick to respond and quick to get the repair scheduled, despite the Thanksgiving holiday.
