The Texas Roost has many home touches, the kitchen is well equipped, and the fresh eggs were a delight. The location is a quiet neighborhood surrounded by woods. The host provided good communication and was very accommodating to our needs. I will stay here again at the next opportunity.

By way of bonfides, my wife and I have stayed at many VRBOs (I quit counting at three dozen) this is without a doubt our favorite spot!! The property is a blend of roiling hills and well maintained grasslands. The house is immaculate and perfectly decorated-designed and maintained. The owner welcomes you to the property like long lost friends while respecting your privacy. The final addition to a great stay are his flock of laying hens - who add the perfect touch of country living. We will be backPs buy some eggs while you are there - excellent quality!

The Texas Roost is a beautiful property! It sits on a gorgeous piece of land in a tucked away area of the edge of Kilgore. It is idyllic, and hosts a very cute rooster/chicken coop.My colleague and I were traveling on business, and found the property extremely comfortable. John was very welcoming, and has put a lot of care into making the space very inviting. We were greeted with fresh eggs in the fridge, as well as a stocked kitchen with coffee, which kept us going on our 3-day business trip. As business travelers, it was important for us to have a clean and safe stay. Not only was the space immaculate, the property sits on a gated community, which gave us additional assurances. 10/10 would recommend to anyone seeking a tranquil and stress-free stay in Kilgore!

House was very clean and enjoyable to stay in. I’ve stayed here twice and definitely prefer this over any hotel around. House has good WiFi and at one point there was a power outage but the home is equipped with an automatic generator that kicked on immediately so i didn’t have to suffer. John is an awesome host and responds quickly if there are any issues. I definitely look forward to booking again. I definitely recommend this stay for family and friends!
