Great set up!

The house was very comfortable. The kids loved the game room and yard, which is fenced in. Dog run was convenient as well. Location is less than 10 minutes outside of town and made for dark starry nights. I would stay here again.

Simply Perfect

My husband and I rented this property for our anniversary /getaway. It was perfect. Roomy, cozy and so much attention to detail. Out of the hustle and bustle, however 5-10 minutes from everything. Will very likely stay here again

You won’t be disappointed!

The new owners of the old rafter J cabin are doing a phenomenal job! This is hands down our favorite home in Abilene to rent when we are in town for stock shows. The new owners made our girls feel like rockstars with a personalized message on the black board. Local Pastry’s that were AMAZING! We couldn’t recommend them more as owners/property managers. We will be back in September.

Family Get Together

Wife and I stayed here with our two son’s families for our Christmas get together. The property easily accommodated 3 couples and 3 grandchildren under 3. The property could have easily accommodated another adult couple. Every one had their own bathroom and television in their room. The kitchen had everything one might need to make meals. My family took advantage of the washer and dryer to clean kids clothes. The property had a nice game room for entertaining. The backyard was very nice and well lit at night. We chose the property because it was a little more secluded and not in town, but still close to shopping and restaurants.

Dove hunting weekend

The place is very large, very clean, good proximity from town. It was particularly nice to have a separate bathroom for each bedroom. On the whole, it was a great experience, and a very nice house to use for a long weekend. Few issues… We had a lot of trouble operating the television unable to find local TV for football. Maybe include directions? Unfortunately, the property is located on Highway 36, so road noise is a problem. However, the house makes up for the noise and is very quiet inside. Would definitely recommend and likely use again for a short weekend in Abilene.

This property is wonderful-- comfortable, tons of space, so much fun.. every amenity imaginable. Also; the owner is very accommodating, open to communication and so very sweet! My dogs loved this property as well-- the lay out is perfect for pets. Will definitely return. This property and ownership should be a model for all else to follow.
