Great house

We stayed over a weekend to attend my granddaughter’s birthday party in Abilene. The house was perfect for all 10 of us. It was very clean and comfortable, quiet neighborhood, and close to lots of stores and restaurants. The kids loved the bunk bed room. We loved the back porch and the pickleball court. Had a great time. Thank you!

Just right

This was the perfect place for our family to stay and also have room for everyone! Very clean and stocked with anything you need! The only issue we had was the pool was very hot! Tried to contact the owners but never heard back. Other than that it was perfect and I'm sure we'll be staying again!
