Homecoming weekend
We stayed here for the weekend to attend my daughter's homecoming festivities at HSU. The house is very cute and the layout was perfect for my parents, my daughter, my husband and myself. The house is extremely clean and there is no carpet! We will definitely stay here in the future if it is available.

Spacious stay
We had a short stay in Abilene to visit family ranging from 8-88 years old. The house was spacious, and clean. It was stocked well, had inside and outside games for the family to enjoy. In the description it said “shared pool” it was definitely that as it is a community pool. It was nice and easy to get to. I just wasn’t aware how shared it was. I had assumed that the pool wasn’t a community pool, as when I searched on VRBO for houses with pools-it would have been private. We had a great stay and the owners were responsive to my questions.

Adorable & Accommodating
We enjoyed our stay in the beautifully decorated, spacious house. The quiet neighborhood and relaxing community pool were perfect for our family and Goldendoodle puppy during our visit to Abilene.
