High School friends reunion
The property was very well situated in proximity to places to shop and eat. It was located in a very nice neighborhood and right on the lake. For us older gals some of the beds were quite low to the ground but if you had small children, it would be perfect.

We were in town for an event at the Expo Center. The property was within 5 minutes of the arena. The house was perfect, very spacious and accommodating to our large family. It was very clean and had an amazing view of the lake. Our host was prompt with responses. We loved our stay!!

Abilene Dream retreat
Large home, in a beautiful neighborhood, situated on a lake. My family and I truly enjoyed our stay and the wonderful accommodations. Plenty of space to spread out and relax. Even though the lake has dropped considerably, we caught some fish. Thank you to the host for having poles and tackle in the garage.
It would have been nice to have some paper towels, and extra garbage bags. But that did not detract from our 5 day stay.
Thank you to our hosts, would definitely stay again. Highly recommend you check it out for yourself.
