Large Family stay!

We stayed at the House ACU for 2 nights and 3 days while in Abilene for the regional track meet. As soon as we walked in the home, we noticed how clean and beautifully decorated the home was. All 5 rooms had king beds that were extremely comfortable and had awesome pillows too! There are even extra fans or heaters in all of the closets in case you are hot/cold natured. There are plenty of extra blankets and pillows too as well as huge TVs in all of the bedrooms. The garage gym was a huge plus for my husband too. Anytime we sent a message to the hosts, we received a prompt response in under 2 mins. They even allowed us to pull our vehicle in the garage due to an unexpected hail storm. I’ve never stayed in a rental home that was this clean and well kept. 10 out of 10!!!

Graduation Stay

Our family was in town for our daughter’s graduation from Hardin Simmons. The house was beautiful and just as pictured-if not better. When her PT graduation date was changed, the owner was able to work with us for our stay. If I were in town with family again, we would stay here for sure!!

Friend Reunion

We had 5 couples who are lifelong friends reuniting this weekend. We get together 1-2 times per year and this was our best place to stay to date. This home was very clean with plenty of king beds and accommodations to make our stay perfect. The hosts showed typical Texas hospitality and friendliness. We will definitely rebook if our group returns to Abilene. Also, the antique shops we visited were so much fun!

Perfect Family Home

This home truly is a Gem in Abilene. The layout was perfect and the home had everything we needed. The property manager was responsive to all our questions and needs. The bedrooms were all King Beds and very comfortable and pretty. My family and extended family stayed for the weekend as we attended a wedding and never felt crowded as the home was very roomy. Neighborhood was quiet and nice. I would definitely rent this home again. Overall a great experience and stay!

Family Holiday Home

This home is a perfect place for large family gatherings. The home easily accommodated six overnight adults and four more at the dining table for Christmas dinner. Having that much space is rare. We highly recommend this property to others.

Great choice!

We stayed here for ACU graduation weekend to relax and not be rushed from Fort Worth. It was perfect for our family! Lots of room for everyone to have their own space and privacy. The house was beautiful and very CLEAN! The four large bed rooms are connected by two Jack-n-Jill baths. The beds are large and comfy! The upstairs was perfect for my young daughters to escape. Their only complaint was the window unit heated up the room quick and it stayed that way all night. Parking is great, neighborhood is quiet, convenient to everything. If I ever return to Abilene I would try to book this place first!

Wonderful Home!!!

The house is very nicely put together, updated and very comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay. You can spread out and not get in the way of someone else when you have a big family. All rooms come in a good size with comfortable bedding and mattresses. The kitchen is the ideal spot to get together and cook. The parking situation can host enough vehicles as well. We're definitely going to come back and rebook.

Great stay for families

Everything was great, and we would stay there again! This house is in a quiet neighborhood; very convenient to downtown Abilene and specifically The Grace Museum. FIVE king-size beds (we are a family of multiple 6ft+ folks)! Plenty of driveway and street parking. The occasional train passes in the distance, but the sound never bothered us during our stay. My father-in-law loved the dedicated ice machine. A note about bathroom logistics: The two jack and jill style bathrooms are easy-access for the four downstairs bedrooms. The upstairs bedroom has access to the half-bath downstairs through the garage, but there is no dedicated shower for the upstairs bedroom; you will need access through one of the downstairs bedrooms. Not an issue for our bunch, just a good FYI for travelers!
