Cute house, great location and awesome host

We came here from Colorado for a softball tournament, we shared the house with 3 other families and it was perfect! The house was clean, had all the amenities and was a great setup. Holly was great when we had a few questions, and very responsive and quick! The game room was a great addition, all the kids and adults had a great time using it!

This is definitely not "luxury in Lubbock" as it was described. It is in Lubbock but far from luxurious. The interior of the home was relatively clean and mostly as described. The game room could definitely use some upgrades and attention. All of the games were not functional. The game room also got overlooked from cleaning because there were used paper plates under the sofa. . The outdoor area has grass that was knee high in some areas and the hot tub leaked. I let the property manager know about the issues and was told it they had been too booked up to have the yard done and it was too late to have it done the day we checked in and that he was aware of the leak and that it had been patched. Later that night we realized that there were no bath mats in the master bathroom but I didn't feel comfortable reaching out again because and issue seemed to be met with an excuse or explanation. There wasn't anything wrong with the rest of the home just as stated definitely not "luxury"

Week in Lubbock visiting son

House was perfect for our family. Stayed the week visiting our son. Kitchen came with nice complement of necessities. Nice to have a grill outside to cook on. Master Bedroom and master bath was great and roomy. Backyard was nice to sit outside and and enjoy the great fall weather. Neighborhood was nice and safe and great to walk around and look at Halloween decorations. Would easily stay here again.

Family Stay

The pricing was fair for the number of people and pets staying. The property could use a very deep and thorough cleaning though. The beds are not super comfortable, but there were adequate arrangements for large groups. The indoor and outdoor games were missing pieces so I recommend bringing your own activities. When the dryer broke, the owner was quick to respond and quick to get the repair scheduled, despite the Thanksgiving holiday.
