TCU House for Graduation

Perfect location for TCU graduation activities - just 1 block from TCU. Easy access, well located for restaurants and venues, busy street but very quiet inside; modern Keurig for morning brewing. Our 2nd stay, but won't be the last.

Great Location

The house is just what I look for when I'm staying in a new area: convenient, historic, and charming. It's well stocked with everything you could need during a stay, including snacks, bottled water, and creamer! We were even able to check in a little early since the house was ready. My only notes are that even though the neighborhood felt safe, having some/better coverage on the windows and doors would be appreciated for privacy. The bedrooms had good blinds, but the other rooms had either sheer curtains or no coverage at all. If you were sitting in the living room at night or walking from the bathroom to the bedrooms, there are completely uncovered doors/windows well within view. There were cobwebs on a few of the lamps and other areas, but overall, the house was clean and inviting.

FW Stock Show and Rodeo

The most wonderful little house!! (I say little because it was very “homey”, but actually tons of room!) From the second we walked in, it felt like home to our tired stock show family. Great location, clean, charming, and personal touches were perfect. We will be back for a fun weekend of the zoo and Botanical gardens or a girls weekends with my classmates. Thank you!

About the host

Hosted by Sharon Mays

Host profile image
I'm a native of Ft. Worth, TCU alum, love travel, museums, art, music, hiking, driving across the country, reading, cooking and spending time with family, friends and my dogs Alfie and Scooter. My husband and I are retired and spend time traveling to visit our children and grandchildren. We love to stay in Airbnb properties - we feel like we get a better understanding and appreciation for the town instead of staying in an institutional feeling hotel.

Why they chose this property

I've lived in this neighborhood both in my childhood and as an adult with my own family for many years. I purchased several homes in the neighborhood as investments. I like to remodel and update older homes. The University House had been a rental for many years until we decided to move into it ourselves for a brief period. After our experiences in other places staying in Airbnb rentals - we decided to set University House up for short-term rentals so others could enjoy the great location and a stay in a vintage home instead of a hotel. We love this neighborhood and all the unique offerings nearby: TCU events, bike trail, restaurants, zoo, museums, downtown, Magnolia, W. 7th, and of course the great shopping at University Village.
