Great home for our family get together
Emmy’s cottage is beautiful. We had our sisters and brothers reunion at this exceptional home. It is beautifully decorated and comfortable. It was peaceful to sit on the patio under the tree with the birds singing all around us. The host gave us wonderful recommendations on place to eat around us

Wonderful historic home
We loved this home from the moment we walked in! So much attention to detail has been given in decorating this property. It is very comfortable and well stocked for everything a family needs for a stay away from home. It also has a relaxing deck space and private back yard, which was a great place to enjoy morning coffee. I feel like everywhere we needed to go was within 5-15 minutes away. The host was very responsive and maintained excellent communication from booking to checkout. If you are coming to Abilene with a family or group of friends, this house is perfect!

Adorable House
We had a wonderful stay at this home! It is so cute inside and the host was very responsive to any questions we had. We had two couples and a family of four all stay very comfortably. We will definitely stay again next time we are in town.

Family birthday celebration
The house was comfortable, clean and in a great location. The property owner was friendly and got back to us quickly when we needed a battery replaced in the smoke detector. We loved our stay here.

We have loved both of our stays at this house--it's great for a family with kids (we have 3). Kitchen is big & easy to maneuver. Great beds. Good yard where kids can play & explore. Happy all around!

Family Visit for Family Weekend
A great house for visits to ACU with extra family. Very comfortable home for visiting our college kids, and bringing Aunt, Uncle and Cousins for an ACU football game. Plenty of space for hanging out and everything was very cozy. Great host! Thank you so much.

Mini reunion with our senior mother/nanny
From reservation to check-out our host was attentive! Our visit to Abilene was made even more special with these comfortable and very "homey" accommodations. Great central location for our family time together. Whether for business or pleasure, I highly recommend "Emmy's Cottage"! :)
