The Cottage West. Charming Home in Dublin

LisaRating, 5 stars1 month ago

This is probably the most beautiful place we’ve ever stayed. It is so charming and has a lot of character. We had a concert in stephenville and it was such a short drive from the house. The neighborhood was great and the bed was so so comfortable. If I ever found myself back in Dublin I would stay again.

Hilltop Hideaway…private suite with a great view

DarrionRating, 5 stars2 days ago

My stay was extremely peaceful and so quiet. The room was kinda warm when we arrived but when I reached out to the host it was adjusted pretty quick . Communication was on point and the private suite was clean and smelled really good. The bed was comfortable and there’s also books in the room for things to do in the area. I was so mad someone booked behind me lol because I would’ve stayed the whole month that I’m here for work . I would recommend this place to anybody without hesitating

Our stay was lovely and Shellie made it that much better by sharing everything we needed before we needed it. It was spotless and decorated so tastefully. Loved that it is located just a few blocks from our daughter’s dorm. So convenient to campus.

Cozy Farmhouse with a View

JamesRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Wow!!! Great weekend. Am always concerned pictures are overstating the actual home. Not the case here. Pictures did not do it justice on the inside of this place. For 1 couple it is very spacious. Recent upgrades and surprisingly great bed. And I am picky about beds. Bathrooms was great. But the pictures do not created disappointment. It is for 2 people, make not bones about it.

Sunflower - Hot Tub on porch - City Escapes Cabins

AveryRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

We really enjoyed our stay here! It was very peaceful and we had a permanent visitor Morris the cat, and a few of his friends that hung out with us by our fire pit. They were so sweet and we even met a precious pup! We had everything we needed and more. I will certainly be returning in the future for a longer stay! The area was beautiful and we were able to see so many more stars than we do living in the city. If you’re looking for an escape from city life, this is perfect for you! And with the town and plenty of dining options only 10 minutes away, it really was the best of both worlds!

This home was like a princess castle. The decor was adorable and the rooms were spacious and so pretty! We had everything we needed! The beds were extremely comfortable and there were plenty of linens. There were even a few drinks in the fridge and a delicious cookie left for us. Every detail was considered.

This house is better than the pictures and the pictures are pretty spectacular. The rooms are spacious and the bathrooms are amazing. The beds and bedding are a dream. Every inch of the house is perfectly decorated. Our favorite part of the house was the sitting area in the middle. Not a single negative about this place. We will rent again for sure!

We really appreciate being accommodated last minute. We had crucial business to take care of and had a very long way to travel. Thankfully we were able to get everything done and have a place to stay. We didn’t have a chance to stay long but really appreciated the amenities and the cozy atmosphere.

Mimi's Guest House

4.97 out of 5 average rating, 77 reviews5 days ago

This was the third time I’ve stayed at this Airbnb and for me it’s like coming home. The house is small but it’s cozy. It’s comfortable, clean and It’s convenient to Tarleton, which is very important to me and it has the most wonderful outdoor back porch space where I’ve had much good conversation with both my grandkids. It’s the perfect place to drink my morning coffee and listen to the birds. Just to relax. I usually stay at this place anytime it’s available when I know I’m gonna be in Stephenville if you rent this place you won’t be disappointed. Miriam is a great host. Very responsive and friendly. Couldn’t ask for anything better!
