About this property
*NEW* Howdy House | Walk to TSU, Gameroom & Yard
Welcome to The Howdy House — a fun, family-friendly 3-bedroom, 1-bath retreat located just steps from Tarleton State University and minutes from downtown Stephenville. Whether you're visiting for Parents Weekend, a Texans football game, or a relaxing getaway, this playful home offers the perfect blend of comfort, style, and entertainment.
Inside, you'll find a cozy living room, smart TV, fully equipped kitchen, and themed décor celebrating Stephenville’s cowboy roots, the famous 2008 UFO sightings, and Tarleton pride.
Step outside to a huge fenced backyard featuring a gas fire pit with Adirondack seating, string lights, gas grill, oversized Connect 4, cornhole, soccer goal, and even a roping dummy — the ultimate setup for game night or starlit BBQs. The game room includes a 3-in-1 table (pool, ping pong, air hockey), dart board, board games, oversized Jenga, and bar-height seating.
Perfect for couples, families, alumni, or visiting faculty, The Howdy House is more than a place to stay — it’s a fun-filled experience that captures the spirit of Stephenville, Texas.
