Adorable

We enjoyed our short stay. Everything was clean and comfortable. The decor is adorable and there was more than enough space for the two of us to spread out our things. The bathroom is large and the mini kitchen area was well stocked. The owner was prompt in her response and entry was easy. We will stay again when we are in the area!

Explore the world in a clean, comfortable and convenient home.

This place was great. Plenty of room for two. Extremely clean. Old house charm with wood floors and the wood ceilings are beautiful. Antique furniture and fixtures mixed well with the updated pieces and the trunks. Loved the “explore the world” decor. Easy to get to any part of town. Bed is very comfortable. Large bathroom. Nice tub and shower. Very quite.

Comfortable stay

Great place, close to Tarleton university. We stayed in compass south, without the kitchen. Owner had everything one needed for a comfortable stay...snacks, small refrigerator, microwave. Separate sitting room with couch and chair. Bed was comfortable. Neighborhood was quiet except for the 3am train. Definitely would stay here again
