Very cute and comfortable place to stay. We came into town for a wedding so were not at the house as long as I would have liked. I was so happy to see that the coffee was available with creamer (which I had forgotten to pack), as well as a nice stash of snacks! There was also a car show and some booths Saturday morning, within walking distance! Would definitely stay again.

The Hive at Stephenville TX

We were looking for a pet-friendly stay during our move from Florida to out west. The Hive was an extremely cute, well appointed and seemingly professionally decorated stay with a large, fully fenced in back yard for our fur babies to run and sniff after being cooped up in the car for 10 hours. Will definitely keep in mind for any other cross-country trips.

Great Place to Stay!

Traveling to South Texas we needed an overnight place to stay. We booked "The Hive" and are so glad we did! The place was spotless, had covered parking (that came in handy with the overnight storms), a huge fenced backyard for privacy, a king bed with one of the most comfortable mattresses and pillows ever, and great communication with the property owners! There is only one other house on the block and nothing worth seeing out front, but the back is where it's at with a big open space of nothing but nature and complete privacy. It was very quiet! Coffee and snacks were provided. There are several great restaurants in the area. If we are ever needing a place to stay around that area of Texas again, The Hive will be our go-to...it's a great place to stay and unwind!

Great little house

I wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the amenities. House was clean, warm (winter stay), and the beds were very comfortable. My wife said she really like the color scheme for whatever that's worth. The dog and the rest of us enjoyed the backyard. The one thing concerning us when we booked was that the location looked like an industrial neighborhood. But the location turned out to be one of the better features. The neighborhood was quiet and we were an easy walk to the Bosque River Trail and the restaurants on the square. Will stay there again, if we get the chance.
