This place is a dream come true for us, traveling with dogs, the property is close to the interstate. It’s in a safe neighborhood with plenty of restaurants/stores nearby. The yard is beautifully fenced and the king size bed is very comfortable! Many small touches that puts this place way above par inside and out!

Carol was a delightful host & our stay was grand. Our K9 was completely relaxed, & had room to roam in a secure yard without worry. A super plus, the heated toilet seat in the bathroom, sure did make it more comfortable on those chilly nights. May try to stay again when passing through Amarillo again.

This reservation came with challenges. The guest requested to cancel last minute, then decided to proceed w/the stay. We did our best to accommodate their changing plans, though it did create difficulties. We were available to promptly answer all questions & needs of guest.
