Long Live Cowboys! 3-Bed 2-Bath Near ACU and Expo

Summary:
Saddle up and settle in — Long Live Cowboys is a Western-styled 3-bedroom, 2-bath brick ranch home in the heart of Abilene, where genuine Ranch character meets every comfort you need. From the soaring beamed ceilings and floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace in the living room to the cowboy-hat gallery in the Outlaw Room, every corner of this home tips its hat to the ranching spirit of the West.

The Space:
Gather the crew in the leather-furnished great room, fire up the gas grill on the covered back patio, and pour something cold while the string lights flicker on over a wide Texas sky. Whether you're here for a wedding weekend, a college visit, a rodeo at the Expo Center, or simply a long overdue escape from the ordinary — Long Live Cowboys has a stall with your name on it.

Please note: To give you the best possible experience, our professional management team requires a mandatory Guest Portal to that allows you to access the house. As a part of the booking process you will be given the choice between a damage waiver or a refundable damage deposit hold. You are welcome to choose either option! Whichever is most convenient for you.

THE SPACE

Living Room
The heart of the home is the great room — and it earns that name. Vaulted ceilings with hand-hewn wood beams arch overhead, anchored by a dramatic floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace, and huge, authentic ranch photography. Sink into the oversized leather sectional, or spread out in one of the teal accent chairs for a laid-back evening. A wall-mounted smart TV, cowhide area rug, and curated ranch photography complete a living space that's equal parts ranch house and refined retreat. French doors open directly onto the covered back patio.

Kitchen & Dining
The fully equipped kitchen is built for real cooking. White cabinetry pairs with a standout brick arch above the cooktop, a center island with bar seating, and industrial pendant lights hanging above a farmhouse dining table with bench seating for the whole crew. Dishwasher, full-size oven, refrigerator, and all the cookware you need are on hand.

Bedrooms

The Rancher's Suite — King Bed
The primary bedroom brings quiet luxury to ranch life. A king bed with upholstered headboard anchors the room, flanked by matching nightstands and warm table lamps. A navy accent wall and rust-toned curtains add drama, while a genuine cowhide rug grounds the space. Full dresser and ceiling fan included.

The Outlaw Room — King Bed
Bold doesn't begin to cover it. Moody navy walls wrap this king bedroom, where a gallery of mounted ranch-hand cowboy hats crowds one wall and a woven leather headboard commands the other. Leopard-print accents, a red leather club chair, and a custom Western lamp make this room unforgettable. Wall-mounted smart TV and closet included.

The Bunkhouse — Full Bed + Twin Bunk Bed
A full bed and a twin-over-twin bunk bed sleep up to four, set beneath a wide-format photograph of open range horses. Western lamp and cozy quilts included — perfect for kids or a full crew that needs every bunk filled.

Bathrooms
Two full bathrooms keep the morning rush moving. The main bath features a tub/shower combo with a Southwestern-print shower curtain, wide vanity mirror, and white cabinetry with oil-rubbed bronze hardware. The second hall bath offers a clean, bright vanity with easy access for guests. Fresh linens and towels provided in both.

Covered Patio & Yard
The long covered patio runs the full width of the house, strung with Edison lights and outfitted with rocking chairs, a ceiling fan, and a gas grill ready for action. Beyond the patio, a generous fenced yard stretches out under big West Texas sky — plenty of room for kids to run, dogs to roam, and adults to do absolutely nothing.
