About this property

The MBA HOUSE

This Beautiful Home features Four (4) Bedrooms with a Movie Room/Game Room, Two Living Areas, and Two (2) Dining Areas, or the Formal Living/Dining Area can be used just for dining.

The Massive Family Room is perfect for gathering with Friends or Family during your Annual Gatherings. It Boasts a Romantic Corner Fireplace, to keep you cozy in the colder months, and 3 windows that look out onto the back yard, which has beautiful Pink Crepe Myrtle Trees, lining the back yard fence. They produce quite a beautiful floral show during the summer and fall months.

The Front Entrance boasts the perfect dining room, for gathering for a large dinner, with everyone at one table. This creates the perfect atmosphere to photograph everyone as you create memories to last a lifetime. The dining area can also be used as a gathering place to play board games or card games with the group that you are traveling with. I have supplied a tablecloth, to cover the wood table, for such occasions. Natural Wood is less forgiving of scratches and nicks, so to ensure that each guest is able to enjoy the beauty of the real wood, throughout the home, we ask that it be protected with tablecloths, placemats, and coasters, as needed.


The Master Suite Boasts a Large Bedroom, with a King Size Bed and a Full Bath and Shower. It is located at the back of the home, for extra added privacy.

The Second Bedroom has a Queen Size Bed.

The Third Bedroom has a Full Size Bed.

The Fourth Bedroom Has Two Twin Size Beds.

There is a Full Guest Bath upstairs and a Powder Bath downstairs.

There is a fully equipped Laundry room, with an LG Washer and Dryer, for those who are staying more than one day, and may need access to laundry facilities.

There is an eat-in kitchen, with room to gather, and cook and entertain together. There is also a patio set on the back patio, for those who enjoy a nice cup of coffee or tea, while the birds serenade them, in the morning. There is also a fire pit, for which we provide a complimentary block of wood, for each guest.

This property is less than two miles from the Round Rock Outlet Mall, Ikea, Ross, JC Penney, H.E.B. Grocery Store, TGIF and many other businesses and eateries.

While we feel that this is already a beautiful home, we are continuously in the improvement stages. I was in the Quality Assurance field for 20 years, so I believe in having the current quality match the current price. We have relaxed the rental rate until we are able to replace the carpet on the second floor, with wood or tile flooring. So be sure to take advantage of the reduced cost, by booking ahead, to lock in the lower rates.

We monitor the home for your safety. There are two cameras inside, which you should unplug when you arrive. They are there to ensure that you walk into a safe home. Those two cameras are in the family room and in the movie room.

All other cameras are monitoring the activities in the yard and in the garage. While it is a very safe neighborhood, we like to stay ahead of any possible scammer activity.

Thanks for finding us! The MBA is eager to accommodate your next vacation.

Beautiful Home

We enjoyed our stay and the MBA house so much! It was perfect for our visit with family. The house is beautifully decorated, and very well stocked, especially the kitchen. This made meals such a joy. The back yard space was better than I had even hoped and was perfect for relaxing and enjoying the spring weather. The host was very good at checking on us, and had great communication. We will stay here again.

A perfect place for our family reunion

We were all impressed with Mattie's house. We especially loved the backyard with the smoker, grill, and fire pit. The children had a great time, too. The house had the perfect amount of space for all of us to be together.

Very nice, and welcoming.

The overall stay we had was great. The house is beautiful, and welcoming. The house was stocked with everything we would need. The only criticism that I have is when we first arrived I knew that the code was the last 4 numbers of my phone number, but i didn't realize you had to press pound first and star after. So we couldn't get in for about half an hour. And I couldn't get a hold of Mattie. Once we got in everything was wonderful.

Great Job!

One of the most important things for us is comfortable beds. The master suite and one room with a queen was excellent. The rest need attention. An easy fix. We had an issue with the 1/2 bath and Mattie handled it promptly. The house is equipped very well with the exception of towels. Could use more. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would love to stay here again.

Great rental home!!

Having used Homeaway a number of times for rental homes, this was probably one of our best experiences! The communication with the renter was excellent and was very welcoming! The house was in close proximity to everything you needed, food, stores, and easy access to the freeway! The house itself was beautifully decorated and had all the amenities that you would need. Even attention to detail was evident as there was a welcome sign as soon as you entered the home and fresh roses on the table! The rooms were spacious and plenty room throughout the whole house. The upstairs theater was perfect for watching a pay per view event we ordered, plenty space and chairs! The kitchen was big enough to cook and have a great breakfast. The master bedroom was spacious and had its own bathroom/shower with plenty closet space. Since we travel to Round Rock quite a few times a year, we have certainly found our home away from home!

Impressive and Elegant

My family and I were pleasantly impressed the very moment we pulled up in the driveway. The outside of the house was inviting with a cast iron table and chairs, a statue in the plant garden area and a beautiful fall wreath hanging on the front door. Once we received the code we entered into the foyer we saw a big sign welcoming our family! As we looked around, we were amazed at the elegance and luxurious colors and decorations that complimented the rich well crafted furniture. We were ecstatic about the appliances, the television in every bedroom, the surround sound, the theater room and the kitchen. The kitchen was unbelievable! Everything we could possibly ask for or needed was already stocked in the large pantry and laundry area and in the cabinets. We spent our best moments in that kitchen around the large table eating from a few restaurants like Rudy's. It was absolutely delicious and we were happy it was close by! We also enjoyed the backyard area. We were able to grill and enjoy the many seating areas. We especially liked the bonfire area and look forward to using it the next time. 😄 The bedrooms and bathrooms were picturesque with love seats and arm chairs, walk-in closet (master bedroom), coffee makers, chic draperies and shower curtains. Each equipped with many amenities. All the beds were comfortable and easily met our family needs. The customer service was excellent. She provided clear and explicit information about the functions of the house and we felt that any questions we may have had were already answered. Our family would recommend this rental without hesitation! The descriptions were perfectly written but it's nothing like seeing it in person.We were overjoyed with the whole experience. Thank you for providing such a clean, warm and wonderful family environment away from home.

Nice home and attentive host

We needed a large home for 7 people (3 adults and 4 kids) and this fit our needs well. Check-in was a little confusing because in the email I was told what the key code was going to be a 4 digit number (I’ll call it xxxx). But then I also got a text with a link to download a “Lockly” app with an eKey that would then give me the code. Mattie must have seen us through the doorbell camera fumbling around in the dark when the code from the email didn’t work and I was trying to download this app. She told me through the doorbell that the code was xxxx00. I went back through the original check-in email and it definitely said just the 4 digits. The home is very full of furniture, decor, and appliances. In fact, going back through the photos, there is more furniture than the outdated pictures show. The bedrooms were especially full with unnecessary armchairs and large furniture. One of the bedrooms obviously went from the queen bed and sitting area shown in the photo, to a queen and a twin and 2 armchairs in very awkward places like right in front of the door. We had to move decorative pieces off some of the bathroom counters to have room to put toiletries, etc. In the bedrooms, having space on top of the dressers to put our own things would be really convenient. Each room had a large tray with crystal tea set/perfume bottles that took up most of the space. In the kitchen, having open counter space would be preferable to the many unnecessary appliances lined up. I had to ask for kitchen towels, which Mattie brought right away. She also dropped off extra paper towels and trash bags which was nice. All of that said, the home was clean and comfortable and well cared for. My kids really loved the 2 computers! Although we didn’t use the backyard, it’s very nice and would be fun to hang out with friends and family in. I was impressed to see a lot of baby items in the closets. If you’ve got a baby you can leave a lot of their big stuff at home! In summary, we enjoyed our stay and Mattie was prompt and helpful. I just wished there were less unnecessary “stuff” taking up valuable surace space and more room to move freely in the bedrooms.

MBA - most best accommodation

We had a fantastic time at MBA. This property has the most character of any property we have visited and I can safely say that Mattie was the most attentive and responsive host we have come across yet. This property has literally everything we wanted, and I venture to say what just about everything anyone would want. Fully-equipped does not do it justice - from the old-style popcorn popper to the movie theater to the backyard layout perfect for entertaining. We would love to come back and stay again. Thanks for all your help Mattie!

About the host

Hosted by Mattie B. Allen

Host profile image
Hello Travelers,

My name is Mattie Allen. I currently reside in Round Rock, Texas. I was born in a small town in Missouri, called Sikeston, where you can find Lambert's Cafe, "The Home of the Throwed [sic] Rolls."

I attended Sikeston Senior High School, where our school mascot was The Bulldog.

I have rented our home out for the past 4 years, on a yearly lease. The experience has been invaluable. I have decided that while I finish working on two Business Degrees, it would be more conducive to enter into the Vacation Rentals venture, so that I can focus on continuing my education, which is something that I put on hold while my husband was in the military and doing multiple tours to war zones.

I am looking forward to meeting many great people, while providing a service that will make you feel at home, while you are traveling.

Why they chose this property

When we purchased this property fifteen years ago, we were about the 5th house in the neighborhood. It has grown quite a bit over the years, but what I like most about the property, is that it is located in one of the most safe cities in America.

Round Rock, TX was recently ranked the #8 safest city in America, amongst cities with populations of 100,000 or more.

What makes this property unique

What I have always loved most about this property is the open floor plan. It is perfect for congregating as well as for relaxing.

It has amazing curb appeal, which begins as you enter the walkway, to find a french bistro set, conveniently situated next to a beautiful 3-arm lamp post, and an elegant purple flowering plant.

It is also flanked by 5 Oak trees, which provide an abundance of shade, during those hot Texas summer months, and if you visit in the spring, you will enjoy the harvest of the wonderfully delicious Japanese Loquat tree, which produces some of the sweetest orange plums on earth, and a highly perfumed flowering bloom, just before the plums make their appearance. These are a very expensive fruit, which you are invited to harvest during your stay.

The Laminate Flooring throughout the First floor, keeps you in touch with nature and its ability to provide us with comfort and beauty.

The ability to view the Front Yard, as well as the Back Yard from the Family room is also a wonderful convenience, if you have children, or if you have guests dropping by unannounced.

You have found the perfect vacation rental at The MBA. Everyone who walks through the doors, has expressed a feeling of extreme peace. I am confident that you will experience it too.
