Wonderful Gem in Abilene
Was a perfect place for our family, my wife and me, 3 adult children and two small grandkids. Feels more like staying in a historic inn. Allowed us to stay together, but spread out a bit! Amenities are well stocked. Sarah was responsive, communicative and welcoming. Would definitely stay here again!

Family Visit
The house is amazing! I rented it for our daughter-in-law's family, who came to visit from Chicago. They were genuinely amazed by how beautiful and gorgeous the house is. The stunning interior design, spacious layout, and attention to detail truly made a lasting impression. The house was not only visually stunning but also exceptionally clean. The owners went the extra mile by providing a closet filled with bathroom essentials, which was a thoughtful touch. Additionally, they thoughtfully stocked some snacks and beverages for the guests to enjoy. After such a remarkable experience, I can confidently say that if our family comes to visit us again, we will undoubtedly choose this house. I highly recommend this house to anyone seeking a truly exceptional vacation rental.

Awesome Host
Katie was amazing. She communicated with me well before check in so I knew what to expect and what was available to us at the house. She left us the cutest welcome basket and homemade babka. The house has so much character and history. We loved all the little touches. This was the perfect way to spend Christmas with our family! Highly recommend.
