Nice property for dogs
Everything was great, and the snacks were a nice touch. There is a nice yard, and it is a quiet neighborhood. It would be nice if one of the rooms had a king bed since there is definitely room, but that was the only negative.

Grandkid pickup
Drawn to this listing because of location, three queen beds and being pet friendly. We drove from Fort Worth to pick up our twin grandsons. Have dinner with their dad. We have two maltipoo pups and thought we may have to bring them but we didn't. Stayed just one night. Loved our accommodations. After dinner my husband and I along with the twins watched a Hallmark movie while the boys devoured complimentary cookies and the fireplace 'crackled'. Sweet evening. Thank you Texas Tech folks for a relaxing stay. We appreciated your every care, effort.

Beautiful house
We enjoyed our stay so much! The owner was so welcoming, and had clear communication right off the bat.The house was beautiful, clean and welcoming. You can tell the owner cares about the house and her guests. It also smelled good for it being a pet friendly place. We were planning on having a puppy with us overnight but we ended up picking it up the following day, but had I needed to bring the puppy there, It would’ve been perfect for her as well. Enclosed backyard, easy access, beautiful bathrooms, and everything you need to feel comfortable and at home. I would recommend this as a top 10 place to stay!
