Pet-Friendly Accommodations
We love welcoming well-behaved dogs to this property! Just a few things to know before you book:
• Pet fee: $75 per pet, per reservation (a one-time flat fee, no matter how long you stay)
• Dogs only, please — we're not able to accommodate cats at this property
• Let us know ahead of time: Please mention your pet(s) when you book so we can prepare properly
A Few Guest Responsibilities
• Please keep an eye on your pet and avoid leaving them alone in the property for long stretches
• If your dog will be alone at any point, they'll need to be crated
• Pets should stay off furniture and beds unless we've said otherwise
• We ask that you cover the cost of any damage your pet causes (charged to the card on file)
• Barking that disturbs the neighbors may lead to extra fees or an early checkout, so please help us keep the peace
Pet Waste
We ask that you clean up after your pet promptly — both indoors and in the yard — throughout your stay. Please do one final check before you check out: any pet waste left in the yard, on patios, or anywhere on the property will result in a significant additional cleaning fee charged to the card on file, so we really appreciate a thorough sweep before you go.
A Couple of Important Notes
We're not able to accommodate cats or exotic pets at this property — if one is brought without approval, it will result in a substantial fee in addition to any repair and cleaning costs. Small dogs can be requested and approved case-by-case before check-in, but unfortunately, we can't approve dogs over 100 lbs (this includes Emotional Support Animals).
*Registered and papered Service Dogs are always welcome.

Interaction with Guests:
We are local and able to assist you throughout your stay!

Perfect getaway in Abilene

Great central location. Very quiet and safe neighborhood. Literally 10 minutes to anywhere in town. Very comfortable for even a family with 2 teenagers. The hayloft had many personal touches that made it feel more like home. Would stay again.

The home was not entirely move-in ready when I arrived, but the host was extremely responsive to anything I found that needed repair. The host was very friendly and quick to address any deficiencies. Overall, a positive experience.

Wood Heaven

If you like to be surrounded by wood, this is your place. We felt like we were in a mountain cabin, yet we were in the middle of the city. Everything worked great especially the air conditioner!! Decor was really interesting and was fun to investigate. We like to cook and it had everything we needed for a nice meal. Location was perfect near the college and the downtown area. We would definitely stay here again if we find ourselves in Abilene.

We had a very nice stay! The host was in contact with us from the beginning of our reservation, providing us with very useful information. We were in Abilene for our nephew's graduation, and our host left a "Class of 2026" sign in the front yard and a congratulatory message on the TV. That was a great welcome and my nephew loved it!! The flat has a rustic feel that was very relaxing after a long trip getting there. It is centrally located near restaurants and shopping. We will certainly contact this host whenever we go back to Abilene TX!!
