Really nice place

The property overall is amazing. The backyard is huge, the game room is homey, the bedrooms are really nice, and all the couches are super comfy. The showers and fridges all work well and are well supplied. The only issue I had was that many lights either didn't work or were really hard to turn on

Great Stay

This property is very nice and has all the amenities you could want. The king-size bed has a dip that makes sleeping in that room a challenge, but the other rooms are comfortable and well-appointed. The house was not clean at check-in, but the host, Page, was very quick to remedy the situation by sending an alternate cleaning service and providing a partial refund. I would absolutely recommend staying in this home any time you are in Bryan!

Great weekend stay

My group stayed here for a softball weekend. This house was more than accommodating for our group and activities. The game room was a great hang out spot for me and my friends. Will definitely keep this place at the top of our list for return trips to College Station.

Family Celebration Weekend

This property was extremely comfortable, clean and roomy. We were in College Station to celebrate our granddaughter's graduation from medical school and this location was convenient for family to gather. The three bedrooms were large, wonderful dining areas, both inside and outside, and kitchen and bathrooms fully stocked with necessities. The separate game room and outside activities' areas were great. We would absolutely stay again.

Loved it

What a great house with an excellent location that is not very far from everywhere you may want to be in Bryan and College Station. The house is very clean and well kept. The backyard and patio area are amazing. The game room with the pool table and games was an added bonus. Also the host was super responsive to questions and so accommodating. Would definitely recommend!

Perfect Little Getaway

Wife and I really enjoyed staying at this property. Page & Matt were great hosts. You can really tell how much they care about their offering. The livingroom & kitchen are perfectly laid out for entertaining or just hanging out to enjoy the game. King size, memory foam bed was very comfortable too. Easy access to everything (for fine dining we highly recommend The Republic Steakhouse). We would definitely stay here again.

Overall a good little house!

The house was clean and decorated for Christmas, so that was nice! We had family staying there for graduation. Some of our son's friends came by and enjoyed playing pool in the converted garage. The living areas were smaller than they looked in the pictures, but the open concept made it nice for people to gather. The bathroom sinks and tubs don't drain well and the king mattress was not comfortable (it was sunken in the middle pretty significantly).

Well updated

The place was great. Nicely updated & decorated. The game room was spacious too, although we did not use it. There were a few maintenance issues that needed to be addressed. The host was responsive with a couple of items needed. Be sure to let the host know if you plan on having guests over. There were some rules regarding that on the fridge that we didn’t expect.
