The Compass North was a fantastic place for my family to stay while we were visiting Stephenville. The home and location were wonderful and the amenities made for such a relaxing stay!
We loved staying at this property. The house is well appointed and has everything you would need. Communication was great and we will definitely stay again! Just as described and even better!
We have stayed here a few times now. The neighborhood is quiet, the house is so cute and the owner is wonderful! We will be back next time we come down here.
This is our second time staying here. This is such a cute little house, it looks just like the pictures. The owner is very responsive. We will definitely stay here again!
My husband and I were so pleased with this cozy home. The attention to detail was so appreciated. The decor was incredibly pleasing. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. Plan to stay again!
Was a great place for family to stay while they came in for a visit. Decorated very cute! Host was very responsive. The property if very close to the Tarleton campus.
This was the cutest Vrbo in stephenville! Charming and cozy. Being in a college town, the area was a little noisy at night but we brought our Dohm sound machine & slept great. We would stay here again!

We are so happy that you like our place, Brooke. Thank you for staying with us. Just for our readers to know, I am sensitive to night time noise also so we do provide box fans in each of our listings for white noise if needed.

Thank you for your kind words. It was pleasure to meet both of you and hope to see you again in the future.
This house has everything you need for a stay. The owners have taken so much pride in this house and it truly shows. They really care about your stay and and try to make it as memorable as possible. The home is cozy, conveniently located and is stocked with almost everything you would need plus some. I’m definitely going to stay at this house again.
The house was so charming and beautifully decorated. The house is in a great location and on a quiet street.
We really appreciated the well thought out extras like water and snacks after being exhausted from a long drive.
As a Mama it was really nice to come back to a homey place after dropping my first kid off to college, instead of a cold hotel room. We will be back!
We we’re in Stephenville for the a TSU college showcase camp. This house was just a feee blocks away and close to everything we needed to get to. Very clean and comfortable. We will stay here again for any future events in Stephenville.
My husband and I brought our daughter to Stephenville for new student orientation at Tarleton. The Compass North was perfectly situated for all that we did during our visit. The house was beautifully decorated and so comfortable. We will definitely rebook and stay. Thank you Shellie for being an amazing host and allowing us to share the Compass North.
