We had a great experience staying in this charming and cozy home as we registered our daughters to attend college at Blinn in the fall. The host was very responsive and easy to work with. We found the property in clean and neat condition and each got a great night’s sleep before our early morning at the college began. We will definitely have this home on our list of places to stay when we return in August for “move-in”. -V

What a great place! We enjoyed the backyard for hours playing horseshoe, bean bag toss and sitting on the shaded patio. The game room with a pool table, ping pong table and comfortable seating is a great hangout! The house itself has a great floor plan for gatherings.

“The Rustic Retreat” is an amazing place to place to stay. The owners are very quick to respond when we had an issue with the key pad. The house was clean and the decor is super cute. The house has all the necessary items plus some. Plenty of nice bath towels. The backyard it awesome! Horseshoe setup, fire pit and lounging areas. You will not go wrong staying at “The Rustic Retreat”.

Great Stay
This property is very nice and has all the amenities you could want. The king-size bed has a dip that makes sleeping in that room a challenge, but the other rooms are comfortable and well-appointed. The house was not clean at check-in, but the host, Page, was very quick to remedy the situation by sending an alternate cleaning service and providing a partial refund. I would absolutely recommend staying in this home any time you are in Bryan!

Really nice place
The property overall is amazing. The backyard is huge, the game room is homey, the bedrooms are really nice, and all the couches are super comfy. The showers and fridges all work well and are well supplied. The only issue I had was that many lights either didn't work or were really hard to turn on

Well updated
The place was great. Nicely updated & decorated. The game room was spacious too, although we did not use it. There were a few maintenance issues that needed to be addressed. The host was responsive with a couple of items needed. Be sure to let the host know if you plan on having guests over. There were some rules regarding that on the fridge that we didn’t expect.
