Brandon answered all of our questions and more. We will be back! Thanks so much for an awesome homey place to stay with a pool in 100 Plus temps! The kitchen was well equipped.

We truly enjoyed out time visiting, playing games, and eating at different places. It was a quite relaxing neighborhood.

We had a great time and enjoyed our stay! The house was very clean and the beds were comfortable. Brandon was easy to communicate with and his dog Nash was so friendly. Thanks again for making our trip to Abilene a memorable one.

After flying in to Dallas for a wedding, I arranged to have a few more days in Texas to visit with family from Lubbock. Abilene was halfway between us, and the Sanctuary was the perfect place to spend a few days! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Brandon's home. The house is lovely, quiet, beautifully decorated, and provided ample room for two adults and two teens. The big screen TV was great for March Madness, and we enjoyed checking out the sites and restaurants of Abilene. Brandon was a great host, offering a warm welcome, tourist info, and many little things that made our stay more comfortable and fun. Nash (the dog) was delightful, but stays outdoors in case you are not a dog person. This was so much nicer than staying in a hotel, and we would definitely stay here again if we return to Abilene. We highly recommend it!

We couldn’t have asked for a better home or person to rent from. Brandon was so helpful and the house was perfect for our stay

Our first experience using VRBO and we will definitely be using it again. We were so pleased with this place, it was everything we were looking for. We picked Abilene as a middle point to meet for a special weekend between our family and a family very dear to us. We had not see each other in months and just want it a quiet place that we can spend quality time together. This home is a real "sanctuary", the perfect home away from home!! Brandon the owner of the property was so nice, helpful and accommodating. His hospitality made us feel so welcome. He also provided recommendations on places to dine and it was spot on! This is also the perfect place to stay in, cook together, relax and watch a movie, just as you would do in your own home. We absolutely loved the home décor. The mixture of things made it so much more interesting and they work so nicely together. The music room was a hit for our two boys 12 years of age. They loved having their own place to play, relax and enjoy games. The location is perfect, we visit the zoo at just 3 minutes away and restaurants downtown are also very near by. If we ever go back to Abilene, we know were to stay! Rosa I. Puerto Rico

The house was a great fit for us. We had family come into town to celebrate Christmas. It was beautifully decorated for the holiday and clean. It was ready for our checkin even before the scheduled check-in time and the owner was great to let us know. Communicating with the owner was easy. There were a lot of breakable decorations in the main part of the house, but the owner informed us of this ahead of time. We spent most of our time hanging out in the media/music room as we found it more cozy with carpet and areas for the kids to play without having to worry about the breakable decorations. We are also big college football fans, and were surprised that the house didn’t have ESPN where all the bowl games were played. We just didn’t think to ask about this ahead of time. However with the TV in the media room, we were able to connect through Roku and our personal Suddenlink acct. We cooked all our meals here as well. We found some of the pots/pans limited for what we needed as we made our Christmas meal, but we improvised and it worked out. Overall, it was a great experience and we would recommend this house.

Our family wanted a quiet retreat for a two night visit to Abilene, and that is exactly what this property offers. Walking into it, the lamps were lit and inviting. You can tell the owner cares about this home. It is nicely-appointed and updated with lovely interior design features, and very clean, which we appreciated. The owner was thoughtful in having bottled water (so necessary in this 100 degree heat) and snacks available. He was easy to contact and helpful. The first night, we were able to get in a quick swim under the stars, with the very friendly Nash sitting on the deck, high-fiving us with his paw. He is the on-site dog who enjoys playing fetch. The home was close to everything; nothing was further than 15 min away, from Primetime Entertainment to The Mill (wine/beer with live music and peaceful green vines outside), Abuelo's to the Taylor Co. Taphouse to Miguel's to the fun putt-putt golf course, or even coffee and dry goods downtown. Never bother with a hotel or motel when you can stay in a spacious, quiet home like this.

The property was located very close to the Rhythm and Blues Festival we were attending with another couple. It was very easy to find. It was clean and well maintained. Scott communicated with us regularly before arrival. He was easy to get ahold of to help with navigating the thermostat. The neighborhood was quite. Scott provided a good list of restaurants and activities in Abilene. I've wished for that at other places.

Thank you for opening your home to us!!! The house was perfect for our visit. Nash was well loved. Brandon was very accommodating and gracious. We will stay here again when we return to Abilene.

Very comfortable and slept well every night. We enjoyed the full kitchen since it was Thanksgiving. Thanks for opening up your home to share. We plan to check availability when we visit again.

The house was beautiful and the neighborhood was a wonderful, quiet, place to stay. I would definitely stay again and I would recommend others to stay. Nash - the house pet that stayed in the back yard was a playful dog that my family loved.
