Perfect location for Tech camp

We were in town for the weekend to attend a Tech camp. It was perfect for what we needed. The location was great and it was very quiet there unlike what you find in the busy hotel in the summer. The space was clean and had everything we needed. Too bad we didn’t use the big backyard for anything since it was such a quick trip. We will be back!

Tech Terrace Gem

The property has been redone very well and was very clean. The back yard provided plenty of space to hang out and the neighborhood has always been one of my favorite parts about Lubbock. It is super close to some amazing places to eat and makes it easy to get to destinations all over town.

Nice property/great location

The Hidden Gem was perfect for our weekend in Lubbock. We came to celebrate our daughter’s birthday and give her a break from dorm life. The house is cute and updated, has comfortable beds and clean bathrooms. We didn’t cook anything, but the kitchen appeared to be well appointed. The Tech campus is in walking distance and the short walk to J&B Coffee was a bonus. The street was quiet at night and the neighbors were friendly.

Perfect Stay for Work and Relaxation!

I had an excellent stay at this charming house in Lubbock. Located in a great neighborhood close to Tech campus, it was also conveniently within walking distance of a great local coffee shop. There were plenty of dining and coffee options within a 5-minute drive as well. The house itself was adorable and clean. It provided a peaceful and relaxing environment, which was just what I needed for my work trip. The setup was perfect for working from home, and I was able to get a lot done during my stay. Additionally, the host's communication was outstanding—they went above and beyond to ensure my trip was smooth and enjoyable. I highly recommend this place for both work and leisure!

Great house

Was in Lubbock to visit my college kids. The house is in a great location... close to campus, close to coffee and bakery, close to Lubbock arboretum, etc. The house is decorated quite cute. Towels and linens were nice. If I had to pick something that I would like to see at the house, it would be a fresh dish sponge for the kitchen and a few more pots & pans for cooking. Otherwise, my stay was perfect. Would stay here again.

Gem

Tgis home has been recently renovated, looking lovely, and with comfortable furnishings. Walking distance to Texas Tech, groceries, a cute coffee shops with lovely breakfast sandwiches, and a scrumptious bakery with freshly made breads and pastries. Washer, dryer, and pots and pans show some wear and tear but still very functional. A perfect stay for a get-away or to enjoy after seeing a game at Texas Tech!

Great location for Texas Tech visit

Location was perfect for visiting Texas Tech campus. Close to places to eat and nice neighborhood. House is super cute and just as advertised. Bathrooms are updated and clean. Host and owner were very easy to work with. Really no complaints at all. Only recommendation would be to add bath mats for when get out of the shower. Other than that we loved the house and would definitely stay again!

Quiet Neighborhood

Stayed for a long weekend. Check in was easy. This is an older home that has been nicely renovated but the floors creak when walking on them. The bed was comfortable and shower was good. The only thing that would improve this older home would be more power outlets. My husband has a CPAP machine and also charges his phone. That takes up all the outlets close to the bed. I just charged my phone after getting up in the morning so I could have my phone close at night. We prefer local news and with the Roku we couldn’t find any local stations but we’re not used to Roku so it might have just been operator error. Overall a good place to stay.

Disappointing Stay - Needs Attention to Cleanliness

Our recent stay at this property was, unfortunately, not what we had hoped. While the listing appeared promising, there were a number of issues that impacted our comfort and experience. The floors in the property creak extremely loudly. The host provided earplugs and sound machines in the bedrooms, which helped, but it’s disappointing to have to rely on these just to get a decent night’s sleep. The bathrooms were also an issue. The toilet seats were visibly stained and in need of replacement, which gave an unpleasant impression right from the start. In addition, I was quite surprised to find dead bugs in the window sills, left by the cleaning service. This oversight, along with cockroaches spotted in the laundry room, raises concerns about the property's cleanliness standards. Overall, while the location has potential, the issues with cleanliness and maintenance need to be addressed to make this property a more comfortable and enjoyable place to stay. I hope the host considers these improvements for future guests.
