This home was exactly, if not better than the description that was provided. My wife and I stayed here with our daughter, son-in-law, and 2 grandsons under the age of 3. The children amenities, space, and bedroom were perfect to keep them entertained! Both bedrooms were perfect, comfortable beds, and the bathrooms were lovely. Two of the bathrooms even come equipped with a child potty seat if necessary! We utilized the fire pit for a smores night and visiting at the end of a busy day! They have a sand pit which our grandson loved playing in. The thermostat kept the home very evenly temped. The kitchen was perfect for family meals and had just about everything you needed including childrens silverware and plates. The host was very prompt with responding to any questions from when we initially booked and throughout our stay! We would definitely book again if we visit Abilene in the future. We visited our youngest daughter, her boyfriend who are stationed at Fort Dyess Air Force base!

Beautiful family home

The home was beautiful and very clean. Jen, our host, had such a welcoming set up with coffees and creamers and a nice snack bowl on the counter. The laundry had everything that we needed for a quick load of wash. Everything was really just great, my family greatly enjoyed their stay!

Birthday weekend

We stayed here for my daughter’s 15th birthday wknd. We needed the extra space for her sleepover group to have room for games & movies. Host had everything we needed in the kitchen. Loved the little extra snacks, games, throw blankets & that there were lots of towels to accommodate my group of 7. Thank you!
