Relaxing and enjoyable

We had a great time and loved the accommodations. The proprietors were very responsive. Suggestions: Working blender (the one there did no work), the fan remote in the room with twin beds did not work (you could not turn the light off without turning the fan as well), there was no Kleenex in the whole house.

ACU Graduation

Upon arrival, we were greeted with breakfast items, Christmas napkins, coffee and so many extras. The communication was excellent, along with the entire stay from the hospitality to the charming home. Our family stayed in the home for a college graduation and celebrated after in their beautiful backyard. Thank you for going above and beyond!

Perfect in Every Way!

We so enjoyed our stay at Eleven09! The house is perfect in every way. We stayed during the awful 105+ Texas heat and the house stayed cool and comfortable. The house was extremely cozy and had every amenity you could think of. Beds were super comfortable and we felt right at home the entire time. Melissa, the property manager was great and made certain we were well taken care of... not to mention her excellent communication through the entire process! We will definitely be staying at Eleven09 again, can't recommend it enough!

Family reunion

The house is truly remarkable! Amazing attention to detail with everything we needed to enjoy our two days in Abilene. We had 9 family members staying and everyone had a great time. We felt at home and really appreciated the owners thoughtful gestures like the lemon cake (delicious!), eggs, juice milk and waters. Our family enjoyed the outdoor area and spent most of our free time there. A little warm, but we live in Texas, so used to the heat. If we ever decide to rent our house on VRBO we will be taking a LOT of ideas from the owners! Exceptional all around and HIGHLY recommended!!!

Great Place to Stay In Abilene

Centrally located in Abilene , Eleven-O-Nine (Main House and Roomy Apt) was the perfect place to bring family together for a recent wedding. Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Young and Old...perfect. The decor was just darling and relaxing. There were personal touches including a well-stocked Keurig station, candies from a local purveyor, a bowl filled with goodies in the kitchen, a notebook with info on local Abilene shopping, restaurants and "things to do". Last but certainly not least "Dat Patio" out back is the bomb. Replete w/ open air and covered seating spaces, a swing and a wonderful vibe. Overall we were grateful to have this space for the action packed weekend. Special thanks to the Noonans for being wonderful and attentive hosts. NOTE: The gorgeous, well-thought-out apartment in back requires folks to be able to ascend/descend stairs.
