May 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Baylor Graduation We were down for our daughter’s graduation and this house was perfect. It was beautiful and the beds were very very comfortable. I liked the fact that there was a fence with a gate to pull your car in and close. If we come down to visit all the places we found the last four years we will definitely stay again. ##### Barbara H.
