This lovely home exceeded our expectations. It is one of the nicest homes we have rented. There is a lot of room to spread out and enjoy. They provided all the amenities we needed, soap and shampoo, paper towels, and tp. The home is in an excellent location to get to local restaurants and the college activities. We will definitely stay here again next time in Abilene.

This house was beautiful and included all the amenities any traveler would need on the road. I appreciated access to the garage where I parked my SUV during a severe thunderstorm with hail. My daughter attends ACU which was literally 1 block away from the rental. My sister traveled with me and said she got great sleep bc the bed was comfortable. I am so grateful for having access to a home rental that provided a space where my daughter could spend quality time with me. Thank you for opening this home to those of us who travel to Abilene to be with our college students.

Love this House!

This is the second time our family has stayed at this house and we absolutely love it! It has so many personal touches and it works perfectly for our family of six.

Family Weekend in Abiline

Can’t say enough great things about this home & the property manager. We had a family weekend visiting our ACU student & this property was definitely home away from home. The house is extremely clean, comfortable & plenty of room for our crew of 4-5. We will return! And the location can’t be beat especially when the temps lower bc you can literally walk to the ACU campus.

This home is beautiful and absolutely perfect. It is well set up for having family over for dinner as well with a lot of dining space. It is wonderfully stocked with coffee, spices, and every pot pan and utensil you could ever need. The beds are very comfortable and the home immaculate. I highly recommend.
