About this house rental
Lift your spirits in this bright, comfortable, and spacious home perfect for multiple couples, families, friends, or groups for work. Once home to Abilene Mayor W. Lee Byrd, this two story house has lots of historic charm mixed with an invigorating, modern flare. QUICK HITS 2,500+ sq ft 2 Stories 2 Living Areas Large Back Porch Ping-Pong, Pool Table, Foosball Fire Pit WIFI 2 Fire Places 3 Smart TVs Propane Grill Outdoor Dining Fenced Yard 7 Mattresses 5 Desks Central heat/air Enclosed Car Port The space DOWNSTAIRS: Two living spaces with lots of seating options and a fireplace in each. A large Smart TV for the main living room. Board games are available in the entry-way cabinet. There is a half-bathroom downstairs as well. Cook yourself a feast in the spacious kitchen with pots, pans, rice cooker, and 4-person breakfast table. Then have a lovely dining experience with elegant 8-person table in the dining room. UPSTAIRS: Each of the three large bedrooms have comfortable beds, ceiling fans, closet space, sound machines, and a desk. The “Family Room” has two king beds, a Smart TV, and a private, full bathroom with a shower. The other two bedrooms share a bathroom in the hall with a bath and shower combo. The “Zebra Room” has a queen bed and a bunk bed. The “Blue Room” has the third king bed and Smart TV. STAIRS: Navigating the stairs has not been a problem for children, they even use it as a play space, but older patrons will need to pay close attention to the antique-angled shape of the stair steps. (see stairs picture in photos) We have motion lights installed on the stairs for late night snack runs and early risers. BACKYARD: Covered parking is available in the carport that has a garage door. The back patio is ideal for cool summer nights with a pool table, foosball, propane grill, fire pit and outdoor dining and seating. NEIGHBORHOOD: The house is in a tucked away gem of one of the oldest neighborhoods in Abilene. A quiet street, with a spacious median, large trees, and close to a lot of local eateries that many visitors miss! Abilene is not a big city, so like every rental in town, the house is at most 10-15 min from any place you’d need to go: ACU, HSU, McMurray, HEB, Walmart, Downtown, SODA district, antique shops, zoo, football stadiums, and rodeo grounds. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: UNAVAILABLE: NO PARTIES. No Washer/Dryer (There is a very nice laundromat nearby if needed). Some locked doors and closets in the house contain owner’s personal items, they are marked accordingly. There is a white back-house where the property owners live and additional garage attached to the covered carport that is unavailable to all guests. Owners will PARK ON THE STREET while guests are in the house. SECURITY: 24/7 Arlo doorbell video at the front and back doors for your safety and the security of the home. Owners also live on the property in the backhouse. FIRST-TIME GUEST DEPOSIT: Through VRBO Resolution Center we ask for a $500 deposit for first-time guests five days prior to check-in. Upon keeping all house rules and finding our home in good condition (no damages, no parties, or excessive cleaning) we initiate a return of the deposit (Via VRBO Resolution Center) within 48 hours.

Fantastic place for a family get together
We had a wonderful visit in Abilene, thanks in large part to the Family Getaway house. The décor was funky and fun and there was enough space to hang out comfortably inside as well as in the backyard. The host really thought of everything! The bedrooms had white noise machines, fans and the most comfortable beds and linens. The bathrooms were nice and offered all of the basics (so it didn’t matter that I forgot my shampoo at home). It was a bonus to have a well equipped kitchen and grill outside so we were able to make our college student and friends some home cooked meals. The host checked on us to make sure we were comfortable and well taken care of and even had a really helpful lists of where to eat, where to go and what to do. This most certainly was a 5 star experience: we will definitely be staying here in the future. Thank you!
