Great Guests! Such sweet people and were so kind and generous! Come again!
Beautiful property and amenities. Hosts are the sweetest people. The Man Cave is every Man’s dream…and woman’s too. Would be great for family reunion, guys/girls weekend, etc. We will be back. Check it out. You won’t be disappointed.
Great property for a group of close individuals to spend some time connecting. Even better if you also rent the house next door and have it all to yourself!
I can’t say enough good things about our experience. The property managers were so helpful several times. The house is in a great location and has everything you need!
Home and homeowners were both great! House and property were beautiful and perfect for our family to gather around the fire pits and outdoor grill to enjoy each other’s company. Homeowners great you when you arrive and they were an absolute blessing to our family while we were there!
We absolutely loved the man cave. We were greeted immediately upon arrival by the owner and was given a wonderful tour of the property. Seriously, the sweetest lady. The house itself was perfect for my family. us.Itaccommodate
Our group of hunters LOVED this property. All of the mounts inside, as well as all the wood work, was so beautiful. The outside amenities were also wonderful, but because of weather and limited time, we werent able to enjoy them. This would be awesome to have a large group get-together!

The ultimate Texas experience in lodging. The place was clean and comfortable and roomy! We loved !
The owner Debbie was lovely and showed us all around the property and talked about the house. My daughtes really admired her and her stories of hunting, and it helped enhance the experience of staying there. Debbie was so welcoming! She also reassured our five-year-old grandson, it was OK to lie on the fur bedspreads. The house was amazing and roomy. It was so comfortable we all slept late in the morning. The grounds are beautiful and welcoming . We had an out door fire while listening to the waterfall under the stars . I hope you get a chance to go back !

It's guest like you that bring out the Southern Charm in me. We're always glad to make someone else's life just a little more happier. You were as Happy and relational as they come! We would Love to have you come again. Thank you for the sweet and kind words, they really made me SMILE!
Debbie, the host, was very accommodating and personable. The beds were comfortable, even the bunk beds I was told. We had a successful graduation breakfast and dinner party. Plenty of places to congregate and the fire pit was nice. I dropped a star because we had dinning chairs in disrepair, the main TV system was confusing and I could never find Direct TV, the hot water on demand system was inconsistent at times, and the water pressure was weak. The kitchen behind the bar was challenging feeding large crowds because there was only room for 2 people to work back there and amount of counter space. Again it was a successful trip and I am happy I chose this property for my daughter's graduation, I just wanted to explain why I didn't rate as a 5 star.
The moment me and my best man arrived Debbie greeted us and told us all that the property had to offer. Debbie and Don are wonderful people and treated us wonderfully. I couldn’t have asked for better property owners. The property was a perfect size for the 10-12 guests we had and we had plenty of bar top for all the alcohol from my wedding. It was such a memorable experience and just was a beautiful memory to add to our collections of memories from our wedding.
Beautiful property, very responsive and helpful owner. We will definitely be back!

About the host
Hosted by Debbie Steele
My husband and I built our home to host our family and friends. My husband used to be an outfitter - guiding hunts throughout Texas, New Zealand and South Africa! Come stay with us and enjoy our beautiful space and get some much needed rest and relaxation. It’s one of a kind!
Why they chose this property
Fire pit and private park, three water features and amazing landscape - both front and back. Plenty of parking for the whole family,m. There is an outside kitchen with grill and Egg to accommodate your family and guests.
What makes this property unique
We are in the heart of Abilene, TX but offer the feel of the ranch. If you have any desire to go on a hunt, we have all the different animals hanging on our wall, which makes you feel your in the pasture hunting them. We hope you enjoy your stay as much as we enjoy having you.
