I loved how many sleeping space options there were which made it perfect for my family of 6. The house was beautiful, very clean and well maintained. This was the perfect place for our family trip. Thank you!
This is the cutest, quaintest and CLEAN property!!! It was quiet and had all the amenities we needed. We will definitely look to stay here again!! We LOVED the property!!
Super cute house, well equipped, very clean, and in a location central to most of Abilene. Great park/playground right down the street. We’d definitely stay again!
Charming house. Plenty of room for 4 of us. Loved the kitchen! Easy entry and close to the facility for our tournament. Everything was clean!Would use it again.
We had a wonderful stay at this home! It is so cute inside and the host was very responsive to any questions we had. We had two couples and a family of four all stay very comfortably. We will definitely stay again next time we are in town.
Our stay at this house was great. It was clean, nicely decorated, beds were comfortable, ac kept the house cool, and check in was easy. Brett checked in on us a few times and would quickly respond back if we needed anything. We would definitely stay here again.
Got this house to stay with family flying in to see our son play in his college football game. It was perfect! Love the cozy and spacious atmosphere! Thank you for a great stay!
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
The house was comfortable, clean and in a great location. The property owner was friendly and got back to us quickly when we needed a battery replaced in the smoke detector. We loved our stay here.
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!
Clean and Nice house with lovely furnishings. We enjoyed our stay in this great home with comfortable beds and all the amenities we needed for a nice family weekend celebrating a college graduation. Thank you!
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.
We had a wonderful stay at Emmy's Cottage. We were in town to see our daughter perform in a production at The Paramount Theatre, and this was a great location for it! My husband, son, parents, and niece were included in this trip, and we had plenty of room for everyone. We took the kids to the waterpark conveniently located just a few blocks away. The house was just as described and pictured. I'd love to pick the house up and bring it back to live in! Brett was a great host and communicated quickly and easily. We will definitely look to stay here again in the future!
We loved this home from the moment we walked in! So much attention to detail has been given in decorating this property. It is very comfortable and well stocked for everything a family needs for a stay away from home. It also has a relaxing deck space and private back yard, which was a great place to enjoy morning coffee. I feel like everywhere we needed to go was within 5-15 minutes away. The host was very responsive and maintained excellent communication from booking to checkout. If you are coming to Abilene with a family or group of friends, this house is perfect!

House was beautiful, and communication was great, I was disappointed though with the cleanliness, Dishes still in the dishwasher from last people’s stay, laundry still in the Dryer, trash on the ground outside in the yard, floors were dirty
