Howdy, y'all! Wrangle your crew and head on over to Abilene Icon, where frontier dreams come alive in the heart of Abilene! This handsome 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath bunkhouse captures the spirit of Abilene through three captivating themes: The Story, The Sky, and The Western Spirit. Mosey on in and feast your eyes on our grand hall with ceilings as high as the West Texas sky, weathered shiplap walls, and leather seating as soft as a well-worn saddle – the perfect spot for your posse to hunker down after a day on the trail. The wide-open layout connects the main quarters with a chuck wagon-worthy kitchen and dining area where the whole outfit can belly up for home-cooked vittles. From lone star artwork to cow-print accents, frontier charm greets you at every turn. Out back, gather 'round the campfire where the Abilene Icon mural stands tall against the rustic brick wall. As twilight falls and the string lights twinkle like stars in the Texas sky, swap tall tales or toast a marshmallow while the embers glow. Whether firing up the grill irons or settling into the comfy chairs, this outdoor territory invites you to drink in that sweet Texas evening air. Bunk down in our themed sleeping quarters that celebrate Abilene's storied past. "The Story" room spins yarns with colorful characters from children's tales, inspired by Abilene's famed Storybook Garden where imagination runs wild. "The Sky" quarters salute the high-flying heroes of Dyess Air Force Base with its wingspread headboard, honoring the brave men and women who keep watch over our freedoms. "The Western Spirit" chambers showcase Abilene's frontier heritage with a sunset mural that'll have you dreaming of riding alongside cowboys under star-filled skies on the open range. After a day of blazing trails through Abilene's attractions, you'll find plenty of room at the ranch with our 4 Queen beds and 1 King bed. Kick off your boots in our entertainment corner where you can challenge your sidekicks to a showdown at the shuffleboard table, stake your claim on the Xbox territory, or gather the whole posse around for some digital gaming entertainment. Just a short trot from downtown's watering holes and trading posts, Abilene Icon puts you square in the middle of all the great things Abilene has to offer! When you're fixin' to explore beyond our fence lines, saddle up for Frontier Texas! where the Old West comes alive right before your eyes, or time your stay during the Western Heritage Classic to witness genuine cowboys displaying skills passed down through generations. Hitch your wagon at Abilene Icon – where your Texas adventure awaits! ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car recommended - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Games - Smart TV - Stereo - Video games ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Firepit - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed - Note from host: There is no smoking inside the fences or within 20 ### Services and conveniences - Housekeeping (on request) - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near a zoo ### Things to do - Arcade/game room - Water park - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Housekeeping (on request) - Unit size: 2,872 square feet ## Similar properties ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/79000000/78390000/78387600/78387586/20e9666f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### B-Well Rafter J Lodge: A Family Gathering Place Abilene - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet friendly 9.8 Exceptional 20 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-06&endDate=2026-02-07&selected=78387586&PinnedHotelID=78387586&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/77000000/76560000/76551400/76551350/a645ac24.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### B-Well Westwood: A Family & Friends Experience Abilene - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet friendly 10 Exceptional 43 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-06&endDate=2026-02-07&selected=76551350&PinnedHotelID=76551350&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/114000000/113910000/113907300/113907226/8292ba91.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Abilene's Ultimate Backyard Getaway: Putt-Putt, Fire Pits, & Giant Games Galore!

Jun 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great weekend in Abilene We had family and friends in Abilene for CALF and needed some space for a young family, my daughter and her husband. The property worked perfectly and made for a very comfortable and enjoyable weekend. ##### Richard V. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeffrey T. Sep 23, 2025 #### Beautiful Home right in town This is now the 5th house of B&B Hosting we have stayed at in the last 13 months. Just as all the others it was wonderful. Very clean, all the amenities you need and more. Right in the middle of town and convenient to all locations in Abilene. I think 12-15 minutes is the longest it took to get anywhere and that was clear across town. Thank you as usual and will be staying again soon.
