Photos and Description of the Abilene vacation cottage rental
Cottage, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath, (Sleeps 4-6)

We are located on a hillside just South of Abilene, Texas. Hardin-Simmons University, Abilene Christian University, McMurry and the Taylor County Coliseum are all within moments of our property. Buffalo Gap, a local artist community, which also contains Shade of Hope is our 5 minute away neighbor.

Our construction is new, built with respect to the area flora and fauna which we feel certain will absolutely meet with your delighted approval.

... a place where the view doesn't stop till your ready to leave

... a place where it's quiet enough to hear the wings of the birds next to your front porch rockers

...a place where peace envelops your before you even open the doors.

We understand that you have many wonderful options from which to choose, so we encourage you to check those out and then, when you know that for which you are searching... come and visit us.

We have made this experience what we would choose for ourselves or our family. You will be treated as our personally welcomed guests.

Bedroom: beautiful colors and tasteful furnishings will greet you as you enter the bedrooms. Our linens are luxury, and the beds offer you to drop the cares of the world and rest!

Bath: This was the first non-negotiable when construction was underway. There is a deep cast iron (new) pedestal tub just perfect for soaking away the worries of the world... or for relaxing after a hike around the true Texas hillsides of our property.

Porch: sit outside in the Fall, Spring, or even into early November. We provide wooden rockers, cozy quilts, and unsurpassed views... we'll even supply our famous personally chosen coffee or tea should the season be right for sipping.

(you've heard of the "stars at night" in Texas... believe me... you will see stars!... most nights even the Milky Way!)

We will allow the guests who've stayed here to share more... maybe even you someday. Bless y'all lots as you search for just the right place.... here, or any other in our area... this is country clearly touched by the Creator's hands... and we love it!

Rest at the gateway

The minute I walked through the door, I felt such a sweet refreshing peace. The cottage is saturated with the presence of God. As I walked through the cottage or just sat on the couch, God was constantly downloading revelation from His heart. Such an awesome place to get away for a weekend. To stop and listen. And to just be still.

Owner's Response: I'm so touched by your review! You absolutely spoke our heart for our desires for our guests. Thank you! We look forward to having you again soon!

A Place of Peace

5 of 5
Submitted: April 11, 2010 Stayed: February 2009
My soul felt restored in many ways during my stay here. Rarely have I had such rest, yet such a rich experience away from home.

My one bedroom cottage was beautifully and comfortably furnished. Again and again, the artwork led me to pause to consider it's meaning to me. I enjoyed turning off the lights at night to take in the distant lights of Abilene, framed by the Gap.

I felt so welcomed by the hosts, who have a love of this land. The same peace I sensed in my surroundings, I experienced in them.

Owner's Response: Oh Debbi... your words so encourage us as to this being exactly what we believe our cottages are all about. We indeed welcome you and yours anytime to our cottages. Peace again to you and yours and thank you for your words, they bless us more than you know.

Each time we have stayed in these cottages (we have stayed in both), we have been blessed by the peaceful environment that has been so painstakingly created by Troy and Carla. Even our 2 1/2 year old son appreciates the simple elegance and attention to detail that makes these cottages so comfortable (they are his favorite place to stay when away from home--he likes finding our names in the "big hand" on the table!). Thank you, Troy and Carla, for opening up an extension of your home (and your hearts) to bless us!
Owner's Response: my response to yours is....thank you for your gracious words... certainly they come from a similar heart!

We absolutely loved the one bedroom cottage we stayed in. It was very comfortable and was equipped with everything one would need. We loved sitting on the porch in the rockers and just enjoying the view. The Limbaugh's are such gracious hosts and made us feel so welcome. What a wonderful, relaxing and peaceful visit to such a beautiful place!
Owner's Response: and we will certainly look forward to your return visit!

It felt like a REAL vacation!
