Gramma's house ROCKS!

Review Submitted: November 7, 2011 Date of Stay: October 2011
We spent a week with my 3 adult children, my son's girlfriend, son in law, ex-wife and young son, my brother and a family friend and had an absolute blast. Indeed, the front porch is great for people watching, the back yard offered room for BBQ, picture taking, great conversation for my extended family and our guests. The servants quarters accommodated my ex and her son perfectly as the boy really enjoyed the loft. Halloween night was exceptionally fun with all the visitors. There have been reviews that the neighborhood is "sketchy." It’s just an older neighborhood that doesn't have a HOA dictating everything. It just has... character. Enjoy... we surely did.

Awesome vacation experience!!!

Review Submitted: June 23, 2011 Date of Stay: June 2011
We spent three nights at Casa de Abuela...June 19-22, 2011, and couldn't have asked for a more charming place to stay. The house and cottage easily slept 4 adults and 7 children and provided plenty of space for all. We also liked the fact that we could take our small dogs, who investigated the back yard thoroughly, and enjoyed time on the front porch also.

I think the four adults liked the front porch more than anything...we spent every morning out there enjoying our coffee and watching the neighborhood wake up. The kids loved seeing the various birds that visited, and liked taking the dogs for a walk on Mulberry St.

This was a trip with our son's family, so it was grandparent/grandkids time, and we spent most of it away from the house. My daughter-in-law and I both wished that we had booked an extra day just to enjoy the house.

Thank you so much for an excellent place to stay! When we need a lot of space again, we'll definitely be back!!!

PERFECT FOR LACKLAND BMT GRADUATION

Review Submitted: May 11, 2011 Date of Stay: April 2011
My son graduated BMT at the end of April & this was THE perfect location for friends/family. He enjoyed the comfort of a home so much! It was a true pleasure dealing with the owner, I couldn't imagine having a better experience. The house was wonderful!! It was equipped with everything we could possibly want. We grilled steaks and cooked in another night, and had everything we needed. We brought my son's dog as a surprise, & she was very happy in the large yard. I will address older reviews: we had no complaints and there were no bugs at all. Also, after dealing with Shirley, I can't believe anybody would have an issue with her, she is fair and straight up. It is a very old home, but that only adds to the character. The neighborhood was sketchy, but we were greeted by many of the neighbors & felt safe. We had a great time at Grandma's House & would recommend it for any large group. It is not a hotel, so know what you want before you rent a home.

Owner's Response: Thanks so much for all the wonderful feedback. I'll look forward to having you as my guests again.

Perfect Location!

Review Submitted: March 22, 2011 Date of Stay: March 2011
This house is wonderful, very well maintained and spotless! The sheets were the highest thread count I have ever slept on, and they were ALL of that quality. We could have used more towels, and I was tempted to buy some wine glasses to donate...not many pots and pans to choose from, but we got by. I have to also say that I did not see one insect the entire time we were there, I feel compelled to include this in view of one of the very critical reviews from the past several months. I also found the owner to be extremely welcoming, especially in her pet policy, as we did have a last minute request in this regard. Thank you so much, we will stay with you again!

Worked Great

Review Submitted: March 2, 2011 Date of Stay: February 2011
This house was just perfect. It had all we needed for the weekend. Tons of room for me and my kids.Yard was large enough to be outside and enjoy it. Everyone had a bed and there own space. I would come back again if it was available.
