    My family had the most wonderful experience at this historical home. What a TREASURE in Abilene! The home and furnishings were so unique and beautiful. The owner left wonderful goodies and wine. Communication was fabulous and quick! We will return!

    House was great, we really enjoyed it. Wish the elevator worked. We are all siblings ages 64 to 77. The stairs were slot on these old bones. Kitchen was well stocked, along with the laundry room, game room and coffee bar. The house is beautiful.

    Thank you for a great stay! We had a mini-family reunion and thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend. The kitchen pantry was well stocked and the house served our needs well. We met family from Mississippi, Texas, and New Mexico at this central location. To commemmorate our weekend, Katie agreed to let us pick a few wildflowers from the location and we put them in resin as a craft

    My bridal party and I stayed here the night before the wedding. There were plenty of comfy beds for everyone! And the large common spaces were perfect for Hair and Makeup and meals! There are so many thoughtful details in this home that made it feel so perfect! Not to mention it is stunning! The host was amazing and even left Prosecco and pastries for us! Couldn’t recommend it more!

    My husband and I, along with our two daughters and their husbands with my 2 1/2 year old grandson stayed at this wonderful mansion for Thursday through Sunday for our son’s pwedding. My son stayed Thursday night and then our good friend stayed Friday and Saturday. My sister also stayed. The house is amazing. My grandson says he wants to go back to the house. The host, Katie, thought of everything. We were welcomed with wine and sweets from a local bakery. Katie had a closet full of items like shampoo, body was, etc. in case we forgot ours. The towels were nice and ample. The beds are comfortable. The whole place is amazing. The history of the house is fascinating. There was so much room. My son had a couple of photos taken there as the groomsmen got dressed and posed in the magnificent stairs. I can’t say enough about how splendid our stay was! I highly recommend this beautiful place!

    Our stay at this home was amazing, we were in town for a wedding, there’s plenty of space and bedrooms there. Wall of the rooms were decorated and were completely comfortable to either hang out or catch an afternoon nap up stairs. We spent time drinking coffee on the enclosed porch.
