Perfect location with 2 door garage
I came here for TX2K and I could not be happier with this location and the property. It was exactly what I needed. Garage allows you to keep your vehicle clean and safe. Huge backyard for playing catch or a quiet dinner outside. Full kitchen with dishes and silverware, stove, over and microwave. One small TV but like I said, I was here for racing, so I didn’t need all the amenities I would if I were taking a vacation. I can’t say enough about the location. It’s near everything in town and has easy access to all parts of the small city. I’ll be back each year as long as TX2K is here!!

Great little place to stay!
My family stayed in this cozy, eclecticly decorated, home for a weekend. It had absolutely everything we needed and was very clean. Quick access to grocery, restaurants, shops, etc. I would defintely rent again. This home is in an older neighborhood with small homes, but the surrounding area is nice. My one and only very minor complaint was with the electrical outlets. Our three-prong cords did not work due to this being an older home with two-prong outlets. I would suggest bringing an outlet adaptors. Other than that, everything was fantastic!!

Adorable and comfortable home
This is a charming house filled with books. The two bedrooms and one bath is more than enough to accommodate four adults. It includes all the amenities that you will need. The host is very engaging and responds quickly to your questions. If we ever make it down this way again, we will definitely stay here again.

The property was very clean and felt like home as soon as we walked through the door. Neighborhood was mostly quiet and close to the highway so it made for easy access to the property and beyond. Highly recommend staying here

Clean, great location and we loved the books!
This property was clean, stocked well with the things you need, such as kitchen appliances and equipment, plenty of towels and wash cloths. The only drawback was the mattresses on beds were uncomfortable and the thermostat kept changing temperature to some kind of automated program already installed. Overall we were pleased with the home.

Fantastic stay! The house felt cozy and safe. It was extraordinarily clean. We’ll certainly book again on our next trip. It’s also centrally located so you’re a short drive from a major grocery store and great shopping.

Cute home
My husband and I enjoyed our stay while in town for an event we host. Reminded me of my great-grandparents home. Loved having a full kitchen and washer/dryer. Great water pressure and lots of hot water. Even though it is small, it had everything we needed. Convenient location close to HEB and :)Taco Casa! About a 10-15min drive to TX Motorplex! The neighborhood was mostly quiet except for the house 2 doors down… but I would definitely rent again to avoid hotel living!

Great stay
My family united over the Texas Country Reporter Festival. My daughter & husband shared a booth, so the rest of the family came to visit! Some did not stay with us, but the house gave us a great get together space all our own. It was immaculate and had everything we needed plus more! The kids even had a little place to play! The AC was on when we got there and was perfect! My girls loved the book selection, even though we didn’t have time to read! Great place & would definitely stay again!

We loved the laid back vibe from this house. It was decorated beautifully! I was pleasantly surprised with the extras provided such as coffee, tea, popcorn, and oatmeal. It was very clean and the beds were comfortable. Very easy to check in and very conveniently located to downtown (5 minutes) with a quiet neighborhood and large backyard. We would definitely stay here again.
