Historic Firehouse - 1BR/1BA - Great Views

The Historic Firehouse is located within walking distance from Texas Tech University, Jones ATT Stadium, Broadway, and the Depot District. This is a fantastic area close to everything! A private patio upstairs, bedroom, game room, huge living area, and kitchen set this place apart from your normal experience. The Firehouse sports fast wi-fi for streaming needs and working guests. Perfect couples retreat in a historic building. Additional sleeping for another guest on a comfy couch downstairs.

This former firehouse has been converted into the perfect place for a short stay or longer-term visits to beautiful Lubbock. The property boasts a private upstairs bedroom with a super comfortable queen size bed and attached full bathroom. Follow the original steel staircase downstairs and you'll find a spacious living room with a 55-inch Roku equipped TV, comfortable couches that double as a second sleeping area, and classic wood walls that add to the character of this place. Please note that if you do plan on having a third guest you will need to be comfortable with them using your upstairs bathroom as this is the only one located in the property. A full kitchen is also located downstairs with everything you need to cook and eat homemade meals. This property also has a coffee maker for those early mornings with plenty of coffee available for all guests. In addition to the above, the property has a full laundry room, game room with Ping Pong Table, and a private fenced in outdoor patio area that is accessed through the overhead garage door that used to let in the old firetruck. Parking is available in the gravel/dirt driveway located on the south side of the building by the gate or on the street directly in front of the house on either side. DO NOT park in the concrete driveway west of the house. Make sure to park in the direction of traffic to avoid any tickets if parking on the street. All areas of this property are available for guest access with the exception of the outdoor balcony due to the lack of safety railing. *Please note that the original front doors of this property do not open, and the entrance door is through the side gate.* Garrott and Shawna are your local hosts for this property. Our interaction with guests is very minimal. The front door has a keypad so that you may let yourselves in and out. Once you have booked, please refer to the check-in instructions for entry codes. Please only use the keypad lock to lock the door. Do not lock the bottom lock on the front door.

Located just east of the Texas Tech campus this home is in a great neighborhood with plenty of shopping restaurants and bars.

Super Fun Place!
My wife and I loved our stay at the Historic Firehouse. It was super spacious, had everything we needed for our weekend stay, and was very fun with the ability to open the living room up to the outdoors and play ping pong. We will definitely stay here again.

Peaceful Stay
Walking into the house it was very open and beautifully layed out. The ambiance of the entire house was very much old style home with a mix of modern. It's the perfect stay for a small family, couple looking for a weekend, or even a few friends over for a small get together thanks to the game room. Amazing stay overall and will heavily consider coming back!

Very fun place conveniently located between Tech campus and downtown Lubbock. Be advised the bedroom and bathroom are both located up a double flight of stairs. The bed was OK but could use an upgrade.

Unique = Amazing!
Wonderful stay at this unique location. We loved the layout and design of the place. It was warm, clean, quirky and fun! Being able to open the "garage" door and walk out to the patio, play ping pong or watch TV made this stay memorable. The communication was second to none - instructions for everything were in the handy guidebook - overall, this was a fantastic stay and we will certainly stay here again!

Such a fun and unique place!
We absolutely LOVED staying here! The condo truly is amazing! It is super close to the campus and campus life (20 minute walk to the stadium). The bed was very comfortable. The indoor/outdoor living space (when you open the garage) was amazing! It was much bigger than I expected and was perfect for my college daughter and her friends to come visit with us. Everyone was super impressed with the whole condo. It had everything we needed and more. The ping pong table was an awesome bonus! We had great communication with the owners and they worked with us so we could check in a little early and make it to Raider Alley before the game. Only suggestion I would make is to put some blinds on the bedroom door and indoor window for some added privacy, but that wasn’t a big deal to us. We loved staying here and will definitely be back to stay again!

very cool and unique spot
property was very neat and different. decor was awesome, couch was comfy. upstairs bed was comfy. everything was quite roomy. the indoor a/c unit was completely open to the rental. it was very loud upstairs and downstairs. had to crank the tv volume every time it cycled on. exposed duct work leaked to the metal steps that lead upstairs, potential slip hazard. exposed plumbing from upstairs was audible downstairs. when i flushed the toilet and returned downstairs i heard the noise in the piping. may be a turn-off to potential renters. parking was in gravel / dirt behind the property. turned into a dirty / somewhat muddy place to load and unload my bags as it was raining off and on my entire stay. neighborhood in certain areas around the rental looked less than desirable. bars on windows dont inspire confidence. the only communication with the owner was a "form email" that was sent after the stay. i listed all the deltas i put in this review and there was no reply or response. all of that said, for lubbock and for it being a house and not a condo or the like it was a nice place to stay, and if i returned to lubbock i think it would be hard to find much better.
