Had the most wonderful time! The home and furnishings are beautiful and very comfortable. There was even a doggie door for our little dog and a beautiful fenced in porch and grassy yard. There’s nothing I would ask to improve the host and hostess were fabulous.

Cleanliness is important
It may not be next to Godliness but it is important. When the entryway is filthy you can't help but wonder about your bedsheets. This place could be nice with a deep clean and some fresh paint.

First VRBO, set a high standard for future.
We had a great stay in our first VRBO. Easy to set up, access and location to other family and wedding venue. Clean, smelled wonderful, comfortable for us and great grandma. We had all of the amenities of being at home. So many neat furnishings and decorations to admire. If they’ll have us, we’ll definitely book again in the future.

Close to town
It was a relaxing, comfortable place to stay. It was very close to town. Thanks for the coffee station and treats. We did not end up bringing our dog, but it was nice to know that we could have, if we had wanted to. (Our grandchildren stayed with us instead, and the bunk beds were great!)

We had a good stay! The washing machine was not in working order, but we did not expect for them to be able to repair during our stay! If the washer was working it would have been a better stay! We packed lightly in hopes of washing our laundry!

instantly felt like home
Welcoming with lights turned on for us when arriving after dark. Easy entry to spotless rental. More room than we could have imagined. Big comfy bed with wonderful pillows. Everything you could possible need in the bathroom and kitchen and the rooms are filled with antique furnishings and all sorts of interesting stuff that was really fun to look at. Our dogs were instantly at ease and comforatable also. This was a great place for us and will be the first place I look for an opening on next trip to Abilene.

Birthday Weekend
We had a girl's weekend to celebrate my daughter's birthday. She is a grad student at ACU. This property was close enough to town to go back and forth but nice and quite for our hang out time. The home is very well furnished. We felt like we were being hosted in someone's home. They had everything you could possibly need and encouraged us to use it. Would definitely stay again.

This spot was great, looks exactly like the pictures. The hosts communicated everything we needed to know before hand and made it super easy to check in. The location was also great, close to Sunn Haus Brewery. Highly recommend staying here.

Great Place To Stay!
We always spend Christmas in New Mexico and need a place to stay on the way home, and Merrie’s place is perfect, we will be staying here again! The pictures don’t show how spacious the house is, or how homey Merrie has made the space for her guests. The kitchen has everything you need and if cleanliness is important (which it is to my husband and I) then look no further! It was just the two of us and our dog, but if you have kids, there is lots of room! Merrie is super responsive! We highly recommend this property!

Cozy and Comfortable
We really enjoyed the house. It was actually larger than I anticipated and super clean. The ‘Welcome’ book contained lots of interesting information. Definitely a must read for those visiting in warmer months! The little notes throughout the house were a nice touch along with the basket of goodies. I definitely recommend this place and would stay there again on our next trip to Abilene. ❤️

Nice stay
At first arrival, the rental and backyard of front house looked abandoned which threw us for a loop. But once inside the house was clean and it had everything to make the stay nice. It had a few interesting items in the house (like a really nice collection of old swords) which may not be great for kids, but overall a nice stay in a quiet neighborhood. Next time will stay when the brewery was open, which I believe is Thurs-Sun. Docs was a good place to grab a bite. We recommend the property for sure.
