Awesome stay in Aggieland

This is one of the best houses my family and I have ever stayed in. Lots to keep kids and teens entertained. Great location and easy to get to Texas A&M and Veterans Athletic Complex. Janae was an amazing host and there are tons of little touches around the house to make you feel very welcome. This will be our go to place to stay when we visit again.

The house was great. We came down for a weekend of Aggie football. The house was perfect , very nice and very well kept. Game room was a big hit for the kids. Location was great for getting back and forth from Northgate and Kyle Field. Host was wonderful to deal with. Highly recommend this house and will stay here again next time we come into town if it’s available. All the rooms were great size. Just can’t say enough about how happy we were with the house!!

Cannot say enough good things about this gem of a house and the owners. We booked it for my daughter’s ring dunk and are so thankful we did! We’re already booking for graduation next year! It’s super close to campus and grocery stores. All of the fixtures and amenities are top notch; looks like it’s been renovated recently. There were lots of different sleeping options (blowup beds, pull out sofas, etc) so it was perfect for my family and friends and the game room was amazing! Pool table, Arcade Basketball, Pac-Man/Galaga, foosball, tons of board games; it’s an entertainment dream!!Jenae made everything so clear and easy for us too. You must hurry and book now!!! (But not during 2026 May graduation cause it’s ours!)

Fantastic Home!! Great location! Close to campus, grocery stores and restaurants. Great park down the street. We had 11 family members stay in this rental. Plenty of room for all of us without feeling crowded. 8 of us in the home and 3 in the game room. We had a blast in the game room and backyard. The street in front of the home was busy at times but not loud. Plenty of parking in the driveway. Great attention to detail from the family games inside and out of the home to the amenities in the kitchen and bathrooms!! Hosts communicated well!! We would definitely stay here again!!!

Thank you for your kind words! We’re so happy to hear that Gig ’Ems & Good Times was the perfect place to celebrate your son’s graduation. It’s wonderful that the amenities, games, and the detached gameroom with its extra sleeping space worked so well for your group. We've heard from many other guests that their older kids also loved having the cooled gameroom as their own private sleeping space. We’d love to welcome your family back anytime!
