Mike was absolutely amazing to work with. I was in a tough spot and he stepped up right away—super responsive, helped me get early access to the unit so I could refrigerate some items, and stayed on top of everything. We ran into a couple of issues, but he made it right and even upgraded the stay, which says a lot about how much he cares. Truly A service—Johnny on the spot from start to finish.The location is great too—just a couple blocks from downtown, walking distance to restaurants, right by a park, and less than three minutes from Planet Fitness. I’ll definitely be looking to stay here again in the future.

The location was great for exploring downtown Nac! The house was older, but definitely had some updates to it. It worked perfect for our family of four. There was a large fenced in parking area right next to the house too. The host was very accomodating and friendly

Our 2-night stay here was perfect. The house has lots of thoughtful details and welcoming decor. Kitchen has full size appliances and is well stocked with pots and pans. Location location is so convenient to walk to nearby stores and restaurants. Luckily for us, the sunset/sky show was just as the picture showed: a beautiful display of orange and blue and pink.

Great house near downtown

The house is super clean, right next to downtown, and well maintained. The owner is available if needed, but also makes it a point to give you your privacy. This will definitely become my go-to rental every time I come back to Nacogdoches.

This house should be advertised for 2 adults and two children instead of 5 people. The twin beds in the closet room are only suitable for children/teens. A foam topper could help the dorm mattresses comfort. The throw pillows are dirty and should be thrown away. Need to add additional towels. The comforters were dirty and need to be washed. Also the refrigerator started beeping at 6am and did that twice not sure why. The house is cute and has potential but these things should be addressed for this price point.

Great customer service

Very quaint houses on property. Quiet neighborhood, close to Main Street. Owner was extremely accommodating and bent over backwards to resolve Wi-Fi issue affecting the TV. My husband and 2 teen boys wanted to go home, but the owner cleaned another open unit with working Wi-Fi, so my boys could watch March madness. LOL. Thank you!!!

Overall not bad as we have stayed at this location before but this time we had one significant issue. We booked this property June of last year and we checked in at 2pm. We left for several hours and when we returned to the property someone had moved in even though we had all of our belongings in the house. They had 2 dogs in living room and one locked in the bathroom. So we had to sit out on the porch until our host Michael contacted them to come and get there stuff out. They returned within an hr and moved out but not before taking a bag with my wife’s shoes and a couple other things that were in the bag. Could have been taken by mistake but they made no attempt return the items. Not sure how VRBO can book two groups on same dates but it should not have happened.

Owner Decided New Roof Was Needed During Stay

We really, really wish we could write a lovely review of our stay here, but we want to be transparent and honest. We actually had family members stay here the weekend before and let us know the photos don't accurately show the outside of the property. The photo shows a quaint cottage within a beautifully landscaped entrance. The reality is that that was taken from the perfect angle and didn't show the lack of upkeep of the roof and exterior. We woke on our final morning at 7:30 am to see workers peering in the windows of the back patio at us as we walked through to get coffee in our pajamas. The owner decided getting a new roof on our final morning of our stay was more important and came to the door within the hour to ask us to move our (new) car. The workers had pulled up in a truck with a flatbed and parked beside our car, spreading tarps down around the property and began pulling the roof off. Before we could finish getting dressed, roofing materials and nails were flying off the roof to the flatbed parked within 5 feet of our car. There was no possibility of our teen sleeping in as the nail gun began shooting off nails. When it was time to load our car and leave at checkout time, we had to walk through the roofing materials with our bags as the workers continued throwing items to their flatbed. We received a refund for 18% of our stay.

Go Jacks!

We found ourselves not able to book at our regular hotel for the last home football game. I jumped on VRBO, and found this house! It was right off the square and was everything we needed for our night stay. It was clear the owner takes pride in providing a nice experience. The master bed is a traditional pillow top mattress. My teens had no issues with twin mattresses. Slept great. This is a larger side of a duplex, so we did hear the couple next door come in on Sat night, but there were no issues related to that.

Ask about the extra room before booking!

Everything was great about this property until 6:30 am Sunday morning, the second night of our stay. Great location, great bedding, helpful check in book with wonderful restaurant & bar suggestions! Very friendly owners but…. I assumed we had the whole place to ourselves all weekend but we did not… there is a separate room of the house that they also rent out that they don’t mention in the listing. The beds of the rooms are only separated by a very thin wall & from 6:30am until noon our second day the young guests in the extra room were VERY inappropriately loud, had kids coming & going & even sounded like they were moving furniture! It was horrible! The only way I would stay here again is if the other attached room were not rented out…. Sad ending to our weekend
