A Sweet Stay at Sweet Eileen
Everything about our 3-day stay at Sweet Eileen was terrific. We were in town visiting ACU since my son committed to playing baseball for the Wildcats next year. The location of this home was perfect. We were close to the school for pre-planned meetings and close to great places to eat at Allen Ridge, for which Mike provided great suggestions. Not having to drive too far was nice after a busy day. Being able to unwind in this comfortable and well-decorated home and congregating in the spacious living room was nice. We will be back when we are in town again!
