About this property

Spacious Family Home. Pet-Friendly. Near Texas Tech, Parks & Top Attractions

Experience the best of Lubbock in this bright, spacious 3-bedroom home designed for families, sports fans, and travelers. Perfectly situated for convenience, we are just 1.5 miles from Texas Tech University and Lubbock Christian University, with quick access to Loop 289 and the iconic Buddy Holly Theater.

Whether you're visiting for a game, graduation, getaway, or to visit family, you'll love being steps away from Higginbotham Park, where you can enjoy the walking path, pickleball, fishing, and a great playground for the kids. Everything you need is right around the corner, from grocery stores and the local library (with events) to shopping, Keva Juice, and movie nights at Alamo Drafthouse. Don't forget to book tickets to the Texas Tech games or the Buddy Holly Concert Hall. The Cactus Theater is always a winner, too!

Inside, the home is flooded with natural light and features an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area—perfect for gathering. You'll love our large dining table and bar for seating, board games, and the electric fireplace for added warmth and ambience in the winter. Rest easy in our comfortable bedrooms featuring one king in the primary bedroom and a queen in each of the two other bedrooms. We have books on hand for those raining days or for the dads who just don't want to go shopping with the girls. Bring your passwords and enjoy our 61" TV screen in the living room, or seek privacy in a queen room with a Roku.

There is flexibility on available sleeping areas if your family is larger than 6 to ensure every guest has a phenomenal night's sleep. The two full bathrooms come equipped with a tub and a shower or a walk-in shower for your convenience. Soft towels, large counter space in hall bath, remodeled tub/shower in both baths. Feel free to pack light and use our washer and dryer, soaps and softeners are included.

The fun continues outdoors in our oversized, pet-friendly backyard. Fire up the Weber grill for a family BBQ, let the kids run wild, throw a football, sit outside and enjoy a West Texas sunset or head to the driveway and shoot some hoops with everyone. Garage is big enough for one car and a motorcycle or two - however you like to travel you'll enjoy pulling your transportation into the garage, especially if the weather changes! Garage has key pad for your convenience.

With a fully equipped kitchen, all linens provided, and secure coded entry on all entries, your stay will be seamless and stress-free. Come discover why this is the perfect home base for your Lubbock adventure!

About the host

Host profile image

We’re from Lubbock! Years ago my sister said, "Why don't you do a vacation rental?" And that was the beginning of our story. We were the first ones in Lubbock! We added houses and kept it going. We love biking, hiking, skiing, reading books, walking, and traveling. Mostly, we love providing a wonderful place to stay that makes your time in Lubbock special. We hope you enjoy this home as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

Location. Location. Location. What's not to like being 1.5 miles from Texas Tech, 1 miles from LCU, within walking distance of a large park with playground and walking path? Shopping is close, concert halls are close, sport centers are close, it's a perfect location. And oh, we also live close by and love this neighborhood!

Once inside, the uniqueness of the property shifts from its location to its intentional layout. The heart of the home is an open-concept living space that solves the common problem of "vacation isolation," where the cook is trapped in the kitchen while the rest of the group congregates in the living room. Here, the floor plan encourages simultaneous connection. The seamless flow between the fully equipped kitchen, the dining area, and the living room means that dinner preparation becomes a social event. You can sear a meal on the stove, keep a conversation going with guests in the lounge, and keep an eye on the television—all without ever leaving the circle of interaction.

This connectivity extends from the interior to the exterior. The transition to the large backyard is designed for peace of mind. One of the most unique aspects of the home's layout is the ability for parents to maintain a visual connection with their children playing outside while remaining comfortably inside the home. This allows for a rare balance: children have the freedom to explore the backyard and play games, while the adults can enjoy uninterrupted conversation and relaxation, knowing the kids are safe and within sight.

For those seeking a retreat within the retreat, the oversized master bedroom serves as a private sanctuary. While the rest of the home is designed for togetherness, the master suite provides the necessary scale for parents to unwind in total comfort, offering a sense of luxury and space that is often missing in short-term rentals.

What makes this property unique

What truly sets this property apart from the standard vacation rental is the rare combination of a strategic, high-access location and a thoughtful floor plan designed specifically for the dynamics of modern family travel. While many rentals offer a place to sleep, this home offers a cohesive environment where the architecture of the house and the geography of the neighborhood work together to create a stress-free vacation experience.

The most immediate advantage is the property's relationship with its surroundings. Being situated just down the street from Higginbotham Park transforms the home from a simple lodging option into a lifestyle destination. For families, this removes the typical "vacation friction" of packing up the car and driving to find entertainment. Instead, the park acts as a natural extension of the backyard. Whether it is a morning jog on the walking paths, a quiet afternoon of fishing, or letting the children burn off energy on the playground, the proximity to nature and recreation is an invaluable luxury. This is complemented by the home's position as a hub for Lubbock’s top attractions; being mere minutes from Texas Tech and Lubbock Christian University makes it an ideal sanctuary for visiting parents and alumni who want the convenience of the city without sacrificing the peace of a residential neighborhood.

Finally, the home is unique because it understands the "small things" that make a stay memorable. From the basketball goal on the driveway and a curated selection of board games for rainy afternoons to the pet-friendly policy and the high-end Weber grill, every detail is aimed at creating a "home away from home." It isn't just a house in Lubbock; it is a carefully curated space where the layout promotes family bonding and the location provides effortless access to the best the city has to offer.
We hope you love it as much as we do.
