Caitlyn's Graduation
The house was perfect for a Celebration of my daughter's graduation. Very cozy places to sit and eat and just have a fun time hanging with family and friends. We did not get to utilize the backyard due to weather, but the yard was cute and looked exactly like the pictures.

Great stay for Aggies' destruction of Mizzou - October 2024
The property was a great place for our group of 8+ guys. House was very clean and well-appointed. Sleeping arrangements were comfortable and entertaining space was excellent - especially the back yard. Close enough to walk to Kyle Field (though we chose to drive and park at the Chicken). Owners Marcie and Rene were very responsive and friendly. 5-stars all around - we'll be back!

Thank yall so much for this great property and we will definitely be back!

Best Aggie Home Retreat
If you are looking for a superior home with a lot of entertaining space then this is the place for you! From the minute I booked this home the owners were in constant communication. The house has 4 large bedrooms with some of the most wonderfully comfortable beds I have ever slept in. The house sleeps 12 comfortably. The open concept floor plan is very welcoming. The back yard has several sitting areas. We spent so much time around the fire pit in oversized Adirondack chairs. The home is located minutes from popular restaurants as well as campus. If I could give this renal 10 stars I would. You will be seeing us again soon.
