Comfy little home

We had an excellent stay. Cozy little home is a wonderful descriptor. I would add blessed to it, as well. Thank you to the host. We are a family with kids and pets and this was a wonderful option.

This was definitely a great experience for us. The place was very clean and everything we had wanted. My wife and I travel a lot and this will definitely be on our list of places to stay again. The host was great and very communicative. Definitely a hidden gem in Abilene.

Very clean older home. Would def stay again.

If you are a man traveling alone, this is the place for you. I was traveling with my daughter, so being two women, we were a little scared when we got to the house. The chair in the living room looked very dingy and so we did not sit on it. And the sheet covering the day bed/couch was also dirty. We decided to sleep together in the bedroom for safety. There is a BIG step up to the sidewalk from the road. I had to use the back of my car to help me get up to the sidewalk. Questionable stains on the ceiling in the kitchen and the attic access door in the closet was moved. It was affordable though, and in the end everything was fine.

The AC was fine other than them being plugged into a smart plug making it a fire hazard. The bedroom was not only plugged into a smart plug, but the smart plug was plugged into an extension cord that ran around the room out the door to be plugged up on the same wall as the washing machine. No fire alarms in the house. Bed was uncomfortable because it just sat on the frame with no box spring. The floors in the living room and bedroom were nothing but unfinished 2x4's. My socks were filthy after walking on the floors that had nail heads sticking up. Had to park on the street because the alley is under construction.

Needed a quick one night stay for work. Right near customers I needed to call on. Easy access and check in so happy w the stay. Thanks to Daniel

This was an excellent stay for me. Close to my business operations and easy access to downtown and good food. House was spotless and host was quick to respond. Would recommend to my business counterparts that travel to Abilene on weekly/monthly basis. I would definitely stay again.

Thank you for a great stay!

Nice little place with great character and well kept. Perfect for a solo traveler. Location was right where I needed to be.

Host communicated very well! There was delay in check in but he stayed in touch with us the whole time. House was clean and we will be staying again next time in Abilene! Thank you!

Everything was very comfortable.

This home was perfect for my husband, corgi sized dog, and myself! This is an older home that can be drafty however, the gas wall heaters work exceptionally well! We even had to turn down the one in the bedroom at night because my husband who tends to get cold easily was too warm. Next day was 80s and ac window units worked well too. The floors are bare, not fully finished wood, so house shoes/slippers would be a good idea. Bed is a little bit lower to the floor so if you have a hard time getting up and down, that's something to be aware of.Kitchen is well stocked with dishes, dining table seats 4 and worked well for me to get some work done with my laptop & extra screen. There is a coffee pot with a coffee grinder full of coffee beans if you're a coffee drinker. We didn't need to contact the owner much, only reason for the 4 stars vs 5 is my original question about if there was a fenced yard or not was never answered. There is not a fenced yard and not much by way of sidewalks. That wasn't a big deal for us since we'd have to take our dog out on a leash every time if we were in a hotel, but is info that can help with planning/packing what we need for the dog. We also just walked through the edge of the yards without a sidewalk, as close to the curb as we could, and picked up after our dog, without any issues & the neighbor we saw didn't seem to mind.Overall great experience. We will definitely try to stay here for future trips to Abilene!!

I can’t say enough good things about our stay. From the moment we walked through the door, we felt an immediate sense of comfort—like we were stepping into a place that was thoughtfully prepared just for us.The house was spotless, warm, and inviting, with little details that made a big difference: cozy blankets, soft lighting, a well-stocked kitchen, and beds that were unbelievably comfortable after long days out and about. It’s clear the hosts put real pride into this home.The neighborhood was peaceful, and we loved having a quiet spot to come back to at the end of each day. It was close to everything we needed, but still felt tucked away enough to relax.What impressed me most was how easy and stress-free everything was. Check-in was simple, communication was excellent, and the hosts were genuinely thoughtful—quick to answer questions and clearly dedicated to making sure guests feel welcome.This wasn’t just a place to stay; it was a place we looked forward to waking up in and coming back to. We’ve stayed in a lot of rentals over the years, but this one stands out because it actually felt like home.We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Abilene.

Easy to get to, clean and comfortable.

We LOVED our stay! This house has an old farmhouse feel that brought back a lot of wonderful childhood memories. Daniel was an excellent and kind host. We would definitely come back!

Nice little place. No hair dryer. Bed and toliet are very low. My husband could not get off either without help. Not for old people who have difficulty getting up from low surfaces.

Everything was very good at the house. Could use some TLC, but it was exactly what we needed. My only complaint was the TV - only used Amazon fire stick, and I needed a local channel which I was not able to find. No instructions for tv use. Host was very responsive when we needed assistance with the heater. Thank you!!

Great value for the price! Owner was very responsive to messages and let me check in early. AC works great. Home had a lot of fragrances, maybe to mask the odor of pets.

No central a/c, small window units through out the home that weren’t really cooling. Pet hairs all over the beds. Day bed in living area had dead bugs on top of the pet hair. The home was saturated in a strong urine odor. Had to leave and find another place to stay. Unfortunately I did not take photos…I panicked and started making calls looking for availability/vacancy in hotels. I needed somewhere to get to fast after a long day of clinicals and needed to settle in to complete homework asap.

All was clean and close to places we were going.

Working out of town. Exactly as advertised and comfortable while i worked.

We loved staying here! Great communication with owner. Quiet neighborhood. Would definately stay here again on our next trip to Abilene!

Out of town working. Exactly what i needed.

Great

It definitely needs new chairs on the front porch because you can't sit on them. It would be a great accommodation to have a grill. It was so peaceful and so comfortable I will come back.

Great little home. Quiet neighborhood. It is listed that 4 people can sleep but there was only a twin daybed and queen bed.

Great one bedroom house! My husband, son and I stayed here for one night and this was a great house for us! Great communication with owner and easy check in/out process.

Quiet peacefu l community. Stayed for 3 days. Loved the coffe grinder and beans provided.on rezt

Big screen in master bedroom doesn’t work so don’t expect to watch tv from room. Didn’t communicate well about check in time so I found a strange encounter with man cleaning. I left one night early and found another option.

Repeat customer and will stay again

Property looks a bit run down externally but is clean and well kept inside. Private and comfortable

The house was older, but was clean and comfortable with everything you needed.

Property ended up not being what we needed but he was nice to work with

There were only a couple concerns 1 I’m not used to open flame wall heaters that I got to experience for the night and the other was the automated door locks kept sounding like they would reset every hour. Being a woman alone I didn’t sleep well but otherwise nice little spot

Home was nice, older but has everything you need. Host was very responsive.

Small comfortable place.

Charming little home, location convenient for exploring: museums, state park, forts, restaurants. Easy to communicate and work with host - thank you Daniel.

Good heating system, just make sure to shut the door all the way otherwise it will open

Neighborhood is fine, house was very clean except in cupboards, drawers & closet. Feels like someone's mother passed away and they quickly cleaned it up for renting. Biggest issue is with lighting; curtains block all natural light with little way to open them (there are solutions for privacy for windows opening to the street, living room had zero light for nighttime, bedroom only an overhead fan light, and broken side lamp, which made everything seem dingy. Yes, furniture is very old (not in an antique way) and outdated but OK if it were arranged differently, need a rug on the bedroom subfloor. I was there when cold front was coming in, heat was insufficient and felt dangerous as the gas wall heaters are very old. I use gas wall heaters in New Orleans, important to have them updated. Essentially, with a few tweaks, this house could be more marketable & you could charge more. As a superhost with four properties, I'm very sensitive to guests' comfort and experience, this was not a comfortable experience for me, though I did appreciate the cleanliness.

Love this little house. It’s in old Abilene. Close to downtown. My kids and I stayed one night. Cozy and comfy beds. Host is quick and responsive. Will be booking again.
