We had an amazing time in Abilene. The Hosts could not have been more welcoming and thoughtful. The outdoor hangout area was awesome, and we spent a lot of time gathering there. Beds were very comfortable. We all had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed the stay. I would 100% rent from them again. Their extra added touches were appreciated!!!

Top notch!

Our stay here was fantastic!!! The house is in such a beautiful neighborhood. The home itself is very clean and impeccably maintained, beautifully decorated, and completely stocked! We had extended family with us (ages 16-73), and everyone loved it. I have already referred it to friends. Additionally, the hosts are so friendly and a joy to work with.

A night in Abilen

The property was fantastic. Came up for just one to night to spend w my son for Mother's weekend at ACU and could not have picked a better house. Just wish the rest of the family was here to enjoy it. The furniture is top notch, games galore for the kids...and adults, shuffle board, darts, video games and many more. We will definitely return to this house with the entire family next time. Thanks, Leslie T., Boerne, TX
