Perfect!

My family stayed for one night in April and it was such a positive experience. The owner was terrific in communicating with me start to finish. The home was very, very clean and all the beds received a thumbs up for comfort. We appreciated the owner having some snacks and coffee pods available so we did not have to shop for these for such a short stay. The home is so close to the campus it makes for an easy walk if that is the purpose of your stay. I hope our travels will bring us through Lubbock again as we would definitely book here again. Thank you so much Kali for sharing your home with my family!

Lubbock visit

we enjoyed our visit in Lubbock to attend our family reunion. The house was spacious and clean, and the location was nearby to everything we needed. It was wonderful to be able to travel with our sweet fur baby. The backyard was fenced and safe for her to go out when needed. We walked to a nearby park and several eating places close by. We will certainly choose this home whenever we travel to Lubbock again.

nice little home

we stayed in the home instead of getting a hotel for a meeting we had. we were able to visit with family that lives in the area, watch a little tv and have a nice place for my husband and yorkie to hang out while we went to training! we will certainly use this home again! And the owner was very sweet and accommodating :)

Clean

House was very clean. Good location. I’m from Lubbock so I know the location isn’t the best but it was close to fast food restaurants. Very roomy. Only thing I would suggest is changing the shower head in the master bathroom. Took forever to shower.

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!
