Home was very clean, had great air conditioning, fast Wi-Fi, luxurious bedding & comfortable furniture for our family of 6 adults. We had a great time playing foosball in the game room, sitting together in the family room & hanging out in the kitchen area which had plenty of seating. The backyard was really pretty with a nice water feature & has some nicely appointed seating areas & a Blackstone grill (that we unfortunately didn’t have an opportunity to use), that was very clean. Bedrooms were huge (Texas sized!) and had fun themes/decor & historical info. Easy walk to campus & the Jones Stadium for football. Wonderful location! Our host Eric was excellent communicating with us & checking in to ensure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend this property & host. We would definitely stay here again!

We stayed here for my son's graduation and had a large group. The house is in a great location, is a great size, and was very clean. We had plenty of room to spread out yet still be together. The kitchen is large and spacious and was a great gathering spot. The back patio was another favorite gathering spot. We also really enjoyed playing games at the poker table. Highly recommend!

We had a great time at the rental. It was very close to campus. The backyard was very nice, Each of the rooms had a different theme. We enjoyed the poker table.

Pleasant stay in a historic home.

House was clean inside and very pleasant to hang out in. Guests need more control of A/C. Home needs a coffee grinder. Perhaps a couple softer pillows. But besides that, we would stay again. Thank you
