I can’t say enough good things about our experience. The property managers were so helpful several times. The house is in a great location and has everything you need!
4.0 / 5.0
Great property for a group of close individuals to spend some time connecting. Even better if you also rent the house next door and have it all to yourself!
4.0 / 5.0
Debbie, the host, was very accommodating and personable. The beds were comfortable, even the bunk beds I was told. We had a successful graduation breakfast and dinner party. Plenty of places to congregate and the fire pit was nice. I dropped a star because we had dinning chairs in disrepair, the main TV system was confusing and I could never find Direct TV, the hot water on demand system was inconsistent at times, and the water pressure was weak. The kitchen behind the bar was challenging feeding large crowds because there was only room for 2 people to work back there and amount of counter space. Again it was a successful trip and I am happy I chose this property for my daughter's graduation, I just wanted to explain why I didn't rate as a 5 star.

Wedding Party
The moment me and my best man arrived Debbie greeted us and told us all that the property had to offer. Debbie and Don are wonderful people and treated us wonderfully. I couldn’t have asked for better property owners. The property was a perfect size for the 10-12 guests we had and we had plenty of bar top for all the alcohol from my wedding. It was such a memorable experience and just was a beautiful memory to add to our collections of memories from our wedding.

Beautiful home and great accommodations
Home and homeowners were both great! House and property were beautiful and perfect for our family to gather around the fire pits and outdoor grill to enjoy each other’s company. Homeowners great you when you arrive and they were an absolute blessing to our family while we were there!

Just awesome!
We had such a great time with family and friends celebrating my daughter's graduation from PA School. We had a small celebration at lunch time after graduation. The outdoor space is amazing!!! The mattresses were the most comfortable and the different animal mounts hanging on the wall led to lots of fun conversation. We spent the evening talking around the fire-pit. The manager, Katherine was the sweetest and most helpful. I highly suggest the Man Cave for your next trip to Abilene. We didn't want to leave. You truly feel like you are on vacation!!!!!

Cannot wait to return!
Absolutely exceeded my expectations! I loved it here. It was so roomy and relaxing. If the kids weren’t there, I could have slept in that downstairs room for days! Lol. I cannot wait to visit again.

We had such an amazing time in this Man Cave tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. However once you open the door to the yard and close it, you would never know you were in a neighborhood. This place is a private oasis that has an amazing yard and several beautiful outdoor areas. We enjoyed watching movies with the incredible surround system, grilling in the outdoor kitchen, playing corn hole, and sitting around the outdoor gas fire pit next to the gorgeous waterfall. Debbie, the owner, was so welcoming and friendly. She made us feel like we were her personal private guests and not a customer. I highly recommend this rental. You will not be disappointed.

EXTRAORDINARY!
Extra+Ordinary=Extraordinary. A rare and special find! I am a perfectionist who has spent the last 40 years specializing in residential remodeling and I know and appreciate great work when I see it. The attention to detail and obvious desire to spare no expense was incredible! The men I brought with me were blown away ... great guy place! I'm reminded of Ecclesiastes 9:10, "Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might!" Well done! Hope to book again next year!

Best place to stay hands down!
This was the second time we have stayed at this location and wont be the last! Great place for a group of old friends to get together or even a small family reunion. The location is great but the house is even better. I promise you will not be disappointed if you book with ira in abiline!

Amazing!
It was a true blessing to stay here and enjoy spending time with my daughter before dropping her off at the university. Thank you Don and Debbie for sharing this great space. The beds were super comfortable, the pool table came in handy and you forgot your were right smack in a neighborhood. Again, it was a huge blessing meeting both of you! We will be seeing you again. :)

The Awesome Man Cave
Our group loved staying in the Man Cave! With beautiful outdoor space and beds for everyone, this property was perfect for our large group.

Amazing. Definitely different we had lots to talk about!
We think you should make a game that has a key to which animal is where and the facts about the animals because all we did was guess and google animal facts for two days!

Wonderful time in the Man Cave!
Fun place to stay ! We had everything we needed - it was a little chilly our weekend and we wish we could have enjoyed the outdoors more. We were glad to have the space heaters too! Beds were comfortable too!

Relaxed and cozy location for graduation.
The home was beautiful! All of the animals have the home a museum vibe that gave us many fun things to talk about with our son. He was mesmerized by all of the decor. The home was perfect for celebrating a college graduation. We had a wonderful time and were comfortable in the home and had easy access to every where we went.

Great place for a family gathering
Very well created and decorated in a rustic theme. Great indoor and outdoor spaces. We came to Abilene to gather with family for an 80th birthday. The BBQ kitchen was perfect for our afternoon meal outdoors. The outdoor fire pit took off the evening chill. The on premise owner offered a charming Texas hospitality and was very helpful throughout our stay. This property exceeded our expectations from the online photos. Our family commented frequently “who knew a place like this exists in the middle of Abilene”. Everyone loved the indoor and outdoor spaces. The red cedar interior finish creates that rugged Texas feel. The owners had a perfect vision for this cabin setting with all of the amenities and animals! We thank the owners for sharing the experience they have created. We had a very memorable visit with our Texas family at the Man Cave!
