We had the best stay at Howdy House! The bedrooms are adorable, with comfortable beds and luxurious bedding. The home is thoughtfully set up with plenty of space to truly make yourself at home. The shared spaces were just as wonderful! There were lots of fun things to enjoy in the game room and backyard. Everything was spotless, and the owners communicated clearly and promptly. I would absolutely recommend Howdy House to anyone looking for a place to stay in Stephenville!
