Great home for our family get together

Emmy’s cottage is beautiful. We had our sisters and brothers reunion at this exceptional home. It is beautifully decorated and comfortable. It was peaceful to sit on the patio under the tree with the birds singing all around us. The host gave us wonderful recommendations on place to eat around us

Older but nice house. You can tell they’ve tried hard to remodel and make it nice. The backyard was not as pictured. It was too hot to sit outside anywat, but it wasn’t as nice as it looks in the pictures. This part of town is very run down, but we never felt that we weren’t safe and it was a good location for the reason we were there, the Taylor Expo Center. It was also a quick drive to H.E.B and Starbucks.

We have loved both of our stays at this house--it's great for a family with kids (we have 3). Kitchen is big & easy to maneuver. Great beds. Good yard where kids can play & explore. Happy all around!

Mini reunion with our senior mother/nanny

From reservation to check-out our host was attentive! Our visit to Abilene was made even more special with these comfortable and very "homey" accommodations. Great central location for our family time together. Whether for business or pleasure, I highly recommend "Emmy's Cottage"! :)

A great house for visits to ACU with extra family. Very comfortable home for visiting our college kids, and bringing Aunt, Uncle and Cousins for an ACU football game. Plenty of space for hanging out and everything was very cozy. Great host! Thank you so much.
