10/10 Exceptional! (3 reviews)
The home was perfect for our family. Great location (<10 minutes from Baylor). Owners put careful thought into the amenities provided; exceeded my expectations. Big back yard. My only regret is that we didn’t find this home sooner as my son just graduated from Baylor.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (51 reviews)
The room itself was quite nice. The pillows for a king bed did not match. Pet peeve. The restaurant on the top floor needed baskets of blankets about for customers to snag one to use. Too cold to enjoy. Arrived right after a shower so the entire outside was unusable. A number of the cushions outside appeared moldy. Yes little things but what you pay to stay there they should not exist. Staff was quite friendly, perhaps a bit too open with their lives and the owners.
