I have to say, the books on the wall are pretty cool. Can't help but want to read the titles. Always a good experience with B&B Hosted properties in Abilene.

Wonderful Decorations

We loved the Downton Abbey decorations. It made for a wonderful diversion to a normally bland stay at a hotel. The neighborhood was quiet and the house was conveniently located near ACU where we attended graduation ceremonies.

Secret hideaway in Abilene

The place looks like any other Texas duplex, but when you walk in to the high ceilings in the entrance with the place decorated just as the pictures show, it was very impressive. They provided all expected amenities like washer/dryer and dishwasher. The beds were comfortable and the place was very quiet and comfortable. The host was very receptive to questions before and during the stay. Location was quite convenient with lots of options for food, gas, and travel.

Trip

Did not want to stay in hotel so opted to find Vrbo and found one that was very unique and fitted our needs. Located in a very well kept and quiet residential area that was very near our activities in the Taylor County arena. Very unique walls covered in books and lovely decorations throughout the house. Will definitely book again if Abilene. Our house was very accommodating as we arrived earlier than expected and she allowed us an earlier check in!!

Enjoyed stay - wife not so much!

I enjoyed staying at this property. The decor is very unique although may not be for everyone. According to my wife the appearance is a cross between a gothic escape house and Harry Potter. It's dark and some of the lighting was glitchy. It is a duplex. The neighborhood was fine and the location was convenient. The downstairs toilet wasn't working - and owners were not able to get it fixed during our stay. Also the furniture in the living area is very formal - not really amenable to lounging.The beds are comfortable and the water pressure is excellent in the showers - two things on the top of my list!The stairs to the upstairs bedroom suite are wood and pretty steep.
