About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Howdy Half-Acre: HUGE LIVING AREA! Sleeps 9. Breakfast included!

JUST 3 MILES FROM TEXAS A&M CAMPUS! Perfect place to hang with your family and friends for graduations, game days, parents' weekends, new student conferences, etc.

The Howdy Half-Acre has quick access to Texas Avenue and Hwy 6, yet sits on a half acre with oak trees, bordered with a creek and a green belt for peace and quiet.

Living area features TWO full couches and a dining table that seats 8. And the back deck has 10 deck chairs to enjoy a cup of coffee in the mornings watching and listening to all the birds; or later in the day to enjoy the shade and tranquility of the huge oak trees.

Kitchen has granite counter tops and is fully outfitted with coffee and 2 coffee pots (a lovely selection of K-cups or a full pot), George Foreman Grill, toaster, microwave, cookware, utensils, crock pot, blender, and a COMPLIMENTARY BOTTLE OF WINE from Messina Hof, the local winery.
BREAKFAST is also provided -- waffles and fruit in the freezer; yogurt in the refrigerator; and pancake mix, Kind bars, and oatmeal in the pantry.

NEW 4-burner propane grill with all the tools!

Bathrooms have granite counter tops, tile floors, luxurious towels.

The "Legacy Room" features a king-size Sleep Number Bed, 2 end tables and lamps, an upholstered chair, and a desk with chair. It features canvasses depicting the 4 generations of Aggies in our family. Sliding glass doors open onto the back deck.

The "You are My Sunshine Room" has a luxurious queen bed with turquoise and butter yellow appointments.

The "Oak and Feather" room has two comfy twin beds. The photos hanging on the wall are just some of the numerous bird species we have seen while relaxing on the back deck.

Birthday in CS
We celebrated a birthday with friends and family, and had a great time at the Aggie Half Acre. My daughter attends TAMU, (WHOOP!) and we had friends and family in town that stayed here. We had a great stay and will stay again. Jane was very reaponsive and accommodating, and the home is well appointed for what you need amd more. The beds are comfy, the space is comfy and clean, and the neighborhood is great. There is ample parking, and we felt very safe. Thank you, Jane for sharing your space and being a excellent host!
