Historic Sayles Ranch- Pool and Amazing Decor!

Experience a taste of West Texas charm with a touch of "John Wayne at Starbucks" at this unique stay! Boasting modern luxury and a distinctive Texas heritage décor, this 4-bedroom, 2-bath property stands out as one of Abilene's first upscale rental homes since 2004.

Mesquite furniture, oriental rugs, antique quilts, and an abundance of hides, horns, and hats add to the authentic Texan atmosphere. Step outside to discover an inviting private pool and deck. We invite you to hang your hat!

The sleeping arrangements include queen size beds in two bedrooms, a pair of twin beds in another, and the Bunkhouse with 4 twins—two on the lower level and two floor mattresses in the loft. All beds are furnished with top-quality mattresses and high thread count sheets. One of the bathrooms features a luxurious Jacuzzi tub, and both bathrooms are stocked with hotel style towels.

Guests will enjoy exclusive access to the entire property, ensuring a private and personalized experience during their stay.

We are local hosts and are available to answer any questions that you may have throughout your stay.

Nestled in the Historic Sayles District, this residence is conveniently situated near the universities, shops, restaurants, and various venues in Abilene.

On site parking is available in the front driveway for 2 vehicles. Additional parking is available in the back, via the alley, for up to 4 vehicles.

Please note that the outdoor area includes a private pool. The pool is not gated, so please supervise children at all times during your stay.

Great place for groomsmen

The place is perfect for a groom and his 7 groomsmen. Unfortunately, they didn’t have much time there to hang out and enjoy the basketball court and pool. By the way, the young men had played basketball together in college. The host was so sweet and easy to get in touch with. I enjoyed chatting with her. Their hospitality is genuine! They left my son and his friends some sweets and a congratulatory bottle of spirits. Thank you!!!
