Waffle House | Pool · Game Room · Putting Green ·

Summary:

🤠🐎Regulators, Mount Up! Welcome to Waffle House! Grab your posse and prepare for a Wild West getaway designed for families and friends to relax, reconnect, and make unforgettable memories. This here's a spacious 8 person, 3-bed, 2-bath home with a pool, putting green, and game room that sits in a quiet, mature neighborhood in north Abilene. It's more than just a place to stay—it’s a full-on interactive experience, with each room telling a story about our Lone Star State's rich heritage.



The Space:

Bedrooms — Three Uniquely Themed Retreats



🐄 Bedroom 1 · The Ranch Room

Two plush full beds dressed in crisp white linens with mustard-gold throws. Adorned with a framed Highland cow print, arched window wall décor, and hanging galvanized bucket accents. Cozy farmhouse lantern nightstand between the beds. Sleeps 4.



💙 Bedroom 2 · The Bluebonnet Room

A bright, cozy retreat featuring a bold Texas bluebonnets canvas above a rustic wood desk with a royal-blue velvet chair — perfect for a quiet morning coffee or remote work. Queen bed, warm carpet, and bedside lamp. Sleeps 2.



🪶 Bedroom 3 · The Spirit Suite (Master)

A spacious, boho-inspired master with a queen bed, full sofa chaise, Aztec rug, decorative teepee, and stunning dreamcatcher wall display. Handmade quilt wall art and a nature-painted accent wall create a peaceful, one-of-a-kind sanctuary. Private en-suite. Sleeps 2.





🚿 Bathrooms



Bathroom 1 (Shared Hall): Full tub/shower combo with a colorful Talavera-inspired curtain, ornate iron-framed mirror, wide vanity with storage, and warm vanity lighting.

Bathroom 2 (Master En-Suite): Double-sink vanity with dual round mirrors, a walk-in tiled shower with glass door, and cactus-themed accents. No waiting — this suite is all yours.



🍳 Kitchen



A full galley kitchen loaded with everything a home cook needs — wall oven, microwave, dishwasher, full-size stainless refrigerator, and dark granite countertops. Wood cabinetry with ample storage, tile backsplash, and that perfect touch of Texas personality (yes, there's a cowboy hat above the sink). Fully stocked with cookware, dishes, and utensils.



🍽 Dining Room



Seats 6 comfortably at a farmhouse-style dark wood table with white shaker chairs. Wagon wheel wall décor, buffalo check drapes, and a wrought-iron chandelier set the scene for a real Texas supper. We've even set the table cowboy style — tin plates, bandana napkins, and a cast-iron skillet centerpiece.



🛋 Living Room



Open to the dining area, the living room features a cozy sectional and recliner, a large flat-screen TV, and Southwestern throw blankets. A Texas star medallion anchors the mantel. Perfect for movie nights or lazy afternoons.



🎯 Game Room



A dedicated game room with a full-size foosball table, electronic dart board (with two sets of darts!), and a Texas flag accent piece on the burnt-orange accent wall. Great for friendly competition at any hour.



🏊 Backyard & Pool



Step outside to your own private oasis: a beautiful in-ground pool with sun shelf and pool floats, a pergola-covered patio with a charcoal grill and outdoor dining, plus raised garden beds along the fence. Fully fenced yard for privacy. Towels provided.



*** You have full access to the main house, but there is a long-term tenant residing in the adjacent converted garage apartment so you will see and hear their activity from time to time, as they will yours.



1. There is no washer and dryer at this property, as it’s designed for short stays. The owner does provide a laundry service on a case by case basis only and at an additional charge.



2: Prior approval is required if you are planning to host a pool event during your stay and there is an additional charge per person over the max guest limit amount. There is no fence around the pool. The pool is 8 feet deep. The pool is open year round but is not heated so the water temp is never guaranteed. Children must be supervised in the backyard at all times.



3. The 2 car driveway is shared with our long-term tenant. Please do not park on the left side of the driveway. There is limited street parking available, but we ask that you respect our great neighbors and do not park in front of their homes.



4: This is a very established neighborhood with many elderly residents. Quiet hours are between 10pm and 6 am. No parties allowed and all daytime events require prior approval.



5: There are security cameras on the premises. One facing the driveway/street and side gate entrance, one facing the attached apartment and walkway, one facing the main house front door, and one facing the back gate in the backyard. The camera facing the pool will be covered and deactivated during your stay. There is also an alarm system in the attached apt that will sound if there is any unauthorized access between the main house and the attached apt.



Guest Access:

Guests have access to the entire home — all three bedrooms, two bathrooms, kitchen, dining room, living room, game room, front porch, backyard, pool, pergola patio, and grill. The property is fully fenced for your privacy and enjoyment.

We had a wonderful stay at Waffle House! The home was very nice, clean, and comfortable for our group of six. The pool and outdoor patio were awesome and gave us the perfect place to relax and enjoy our time together. We also really appreciated all the thoughtful personal touches throughout the house, which made us feel so welcomed. Communication was great from start to finish. I would definitely recommend this property and would happily stay here again!

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
This property is great. Very comfortable and roomy. The host was the most communicative and helpful host we have ever worked with. If there was ANYTHING amiss, a simple text was all it took to make it right. There are PLENTY of clean towels and linens to last a full week or more! The inside is full of Texas ambiance (maybe a bit too much stuff on the tables and countertops) but it was very fun. The hosts personalized our arrival making it feel very special! The outdoor space is so well done with a large pool, putting green, games and a bbq grill and outdoor space set up. Only one warning here…the astro turf area and pool aggregate gets VERY VERY hot in the middle of the day. Make sure you wear/bring flip flops or water shoes, especially if you have little ones. If you are looking to spend a good amount of time in Abilene and want a fun place to stay without having to go out much, this house is definitely one to choose! We will 100% be back!
