About this property

The “Cottage" is a private one bedroom, one bathroom guest house with a full kitchen that overlooks the backyard pool. Equipped with high speed internet for streaming or if working during your stay is a must! The house is situated on 40 acres outside the city limits of Abilene, Texas near Potosi. When you arrive, you may see horses grazing in the pastures or be met by two friendly Collie’s (think Lassie dogs) &/or Major the barn cat! We hope that our guests enjoy the peaceful country all while being minutes from entertainment, restaurants, airport & hospitals. The Cottage is perfect for college parents, vacationers, couples or anyone just needing to relax, restore & rejuvenate!

~Please note that this house is in the country. We do get wasps, bees & ants around the pool especially during the peak of summer. Coyotes also bark & howl at night. Please understand that hosts cannot be expected to control pests or nuisances such as these. Thank you for understanding.

Pool House, home away from home

My family enjoyed having a place to just be while visiting family in Abilene. My husband worked during the day from the pool house, while me and my daughter spent time with family. It was great to be in the country and be so close to a city at the same time. We had privacy but had quick easy communication for anything we needed. I miss being greeted by Major the cat now that I’m home.

Comfortable and Charming!

We had a wonderful time at the cozy and charming Pool House. A comfortable bed, a beautifully decorated living space, and a kitchen & bathroom stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay was provided by Heather. Her and her family were also such amazing hosts, they made us feel like family! Being able to use the large inground pool during some very hot days in Texas was a huge bonus to our booking, Heather even encouraged us to invite our family, who live in the area, over for a swim. We were able to relax in the peaceful country setting, and we were even lucky enough to hold some baby chicks that were new to their household! The whole experience made this one of our most favorite bookings!
