Mimi’s House

We were so pleasantly surprised how serene Mimi’s House was. A beautiful backyard for conversation and bird listening. There was a great kitchen to work in as we were there for the birth of a granddaughter. The location was convenient to the hospital and restaurants. We will be back and stay at Mimi’s House again.

Beautiful home, peaceful yet close to everything

Erica and her mom were wonderful hosts! This home is really convenient for restaurants, parks, ACU, and still really calm and peaceful. They have an amazing HVAC system, for those who have breathing or allergy issues. And the small yard is perfect for younger kids. Can't wait to return, this will be our top pick for stays in Abilene!
