The shortest of the two involves driving on approximately 4 miles of caliche county road. If you want to avoid a majority of the caliche road there is a way that is mostly paved but it’s five miles longer and you will still drive on about 1.5 miles of caliche road. They are well maintained county roads but they you are still in the quiet country. The neighbors are mostly older families but there are a few younger families. Everyone keeps to themselves. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car recommended ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shower ### Entertainment - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Firepit - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - Near a zoo ### Things to do - Water park - Birdwatching nearby - Wildlife walks 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 ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/102000000/101860000/101856100/101856061/30867476.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Hideout - A Sayles Ranch Guesthouse Downtown Abilene - Air conditioning - Parking available - Microwave 9.6 Exceptional 9 reviews CA $110 CA $287 total includes taxes & fees Oct 7 - Oct 8 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-07&endDate=2025-10-08&selected=101856061&PinnedHotelID=101856061&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/112000000/111840000/111830800/111830781/63301790.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Charming 3-bedroom house with WiFi and AC in lovely Abilene Abilene - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.6 Exceptional 13 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-18&endDate=2025-10-19&selected=111830781&PinnedHotelID=111830781&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![2 bedrooms, iron/ironing board, WiFi, bed sheets](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/103000000/102020000/102017300/102017242/aec4443d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Downton Abbey - A Sayles Ranch Home Abilene - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning 9.8 Exceptional 8 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-18&endDate=2025-10-19&selected=102017242&PinnedHotelID=102017242&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/101000000/100890000/100884700/100884610/ac3e774a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Patti's Place ( POOL | Sleeps 9)!

Dec 18, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Check-in, communication #### Pleasant quiet and remote I was extremely elated when the owner took matters into her hands after having trouble with my credit card company and VRBO although the complications had absolutely nothing to do with the property or the owner. The property is beautiful well maintained well stocked and so inviting and I am Happy with the owner and the home you might refrain from using Sezzle Afterpay or anything other than your regular cards due to VRBO disclosing card information to management companies only of course, after they take their 70 fee and it may be shut off like mine was due to suspected fraudulent activity and you could be displaced at Christmas time for a few days also!! Again not the owners fault. Although my stay was cut short due to that, I was extremely happy still with what time I got to be there thank you Miss Stephanie you’re a blessing. ##### Danielle H.
