We absolutely loved our stay here! This charming 1950s-era home has all the character and quirks you’d hope for in a vintage house, while still offering plenty of modern amenities and comforts. The decor was wonderfully eclectic - filled with books, paintings, and unique art pieces from all different eras - which made the space feel warm, creative, and inviting.The host was fantastic to work with and went above and beyond by providing excellent recommendations for local restaurants and breweries. The amenities were top-notch, and the thoughtful touches really stood out. Thank you for the bottled water and the delicious coffee!The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the entire home felt spacious, cozy, and welcoming. We truly felt at home here and would absolutely stay again. Highly recommend!

Perfect location with 2 door garage

I came here for TX2K and I could not be happier with this location and the property. It was exactly what I needed. Garage allows you to keep your vehicle clean and safe. Huge backyard for playing catch or a quiet dinner outside. Full kitchen with dishes and silverware, stove, over and microwave. One small TV but like I said, I was here for racing, so I didn’t need all the amenities I would if I were taking a vacation. I can’t say enough about the location. It’s near everything in town and has easy access to all parts of the small city. I’ll be back each year as long as TX2K is here!!

Great little place to stay!

My family stayed in this cozy, eclecticly decorated, home for a weekend. It had absolutely everything we needed and was very clean. Quick access to grocery, restaurants, shops, etc. I would defintely rent again. This home is in an older neighborhood with small homes, but the surrounding area is nice. My one and only very minor complaint was with the electrical outlets. Our three-prong cords did not work due to this being an older home with two-prong outlets. I would suggest bringing an outlet adaptors. Other than that, everything was fantastic!!

This property did not appear to be in the safest neighborhood and there were fleas in the house. The rest of the experience was fine; it’s an old 1950’s house that’s been moderately renovated and the rate was reasonable. The host was kind and responsive. Overall, I have to give 3/5.

Adorable and comfortable home

This is a charming house filled with books. The two bedrooms and one bath is more than enough to accommodate four adults. It includes all the amenities that you will need. The host is very engaging and responds quickly to your questions. If we ever make it down this way again, we will definitely stay here again.
