Positioned within walking distance from the Taylor County Expo Center, Dodge Jones Sports Center, Shotwell Stadium, The Abilene ZOO, and Lytle Land & Cattle and only minutes from the Abilene Airport.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Brandon Scott Thomas
I am the Executive Producer for a media company in town called Pink Goose Media. I am the father of three beautiful children and moved to Abilene from Nashville where I was in the music and entertainment industry. I love to make a place feel warm and inviting. If you come to Summoner, you can forget all your worries, kick back and just enjoy a restful and quiet time.
Why they chose this property
The minute I stepped into this home it felt open and warm--even before it was furnished and decorated. I knew that this could be a place that would be a sanctuary for my guests.
What makes this property unique
The Summoner Sanctuary is located right in the heart of Abilene's tourist destinations. Perfect for rodeo, sports playoff, or ZOO guests, it is within walking distance of these area attractions.
Also, I have left a list of some of the local night life and restaurant options that are unique to Abilene and not to be missed!
