We thought carefully about what we liked best about other short term rentals we had stayed at in the past with our boys, then poured our hearts into this place while remodeling for months. Honestly we went overboard! Here's a list of all the gifts we want to give to our guests we blew coin on: This home is was professionally remodeled inside and out and also has a Volley Ball/Badminton court within a privacy fenced back yard. In that same back yard our guests can dine outside on new exterior furniture with a BBQ grill provided at night under romantic lighting strung up. Wireless WIFI @ 300 MBps, Roku as well as flat screen TVs in every bedroom and in the living are available. TV trays in the living, black out curtains in the blue bed as well as a desk for workers on the go. An electric fireplace will keep you very cozy in the living while you play plenty of games we have left. 7th person sleeps on the couch, sheets, blanket and pillow are in the 1st bedroom foot storage. The kitchen is stocked with everything including a crock pot and margarita glasses if you get the notion, everything but food, spices and someone to cook for you. The bath/shower combo has a fun shower head that lights up in a variety of colors and we have set up dispensers like a hotel for body wash, shampoo & conditioner. Double vanity for couples in a hurry to get going. The mattresses, sheets, comforters, towels, pillows were all selected because they are super soft and pretty. High flow fans were installed in the yellow and blue bedrooms for hotblooded guests or for those who want white noise while they sleep. The two car garage has electric doors for easy access. We installed security lights and cameras for additional guest safety. Oh, did I mention we allow dogs so long as our rules are followed strictly so the property is kept nice for the next guests? Yes we do for only an additional $40.00 fee for dog per visit! You are welcome here, this is your home away from home while you visit Abilene or just get away for a little bit.
