July 2026Wow - what an awesome place to stay! The house itself was spotless, beautifully decorated, and included everything you could possibly want! Extra "white noise" fans for every bedroom, amazing bedding & mattresses, fully stocked kitchen for cooking, wash cloths in the bathroom for "makeup" (so you don't feel bad washing your face with a white wash cloth lol), washer & dryer, plenty of games to keep the teenage kids entertained, walking distance to Tarleton, and plenty of restaurants & activities only minutes away. Would highly recommend this house to anyone and will definitely be our first choice next time we're in the area!
