The property is located so close to downtown and all the fun things. We had events at The Ice House and Convention Center and easily walked to them. The walk at night is a bit sketchy. We love everything about this little cottage except the bathroom. It sleeps 10, so if it had been more than my husband and I - that would be hard. The shower is terrible - it’s a cute tub but showering in it is like having 5-6 white sheets clinging to you at all times. I fought my way through it! Lol! We will stay here again.

Adorable historic home
We had a wonderful weekend, staying at the Hickory House in Downtown Abilene. My family of six, and I loved all the attention to details. Great location in downtown Abilene and easy walking distance to the café and coffee shops. The owner did a fabulous job stocking everything you could possibly need. My kids loved the playroom loft upstairs.

We were so impressed with your home. You have created a welcoming space for all ages! The upstairs playroom was a hit with our grandkids. The location was spot on for visiting our daughter at HSU. This will be our go to home in Abilene from now on. Thank you.
