This house had absolutely everything we needed for our larger family stay for Tech graduation weekend. Place was newer and very clean. Fun to have the game room garage, enjoyed by all. Lovely back porch with a breeze. Comfy bedrooms, good size bathrooms, and everything to prepare meals with in the kitchen. Close proximity to campus too. Hosts had great communication! Would definitely stay here again and recommend to others!!
The house is awesome, just like the pictures. Plenty of space and sparkling clean! The hot tub was amazing. We were family and friends staying here for a hunting trip and it was perfect.
Went to lbk with friends and family for my bday celebration. The house was beautiful and had so many things to do! Location was top tier and the cleanliness of the place was wonderful! Thank you for hosting us! If we ever need a house again we will stay again and I definitely recommend!!
Really happy with this place. Clean, spacious, nice back yard & grill, quiet neighborhood. Kitchen is very well equipped. Lots of extra beds, slept 6 very comfortably. Garage game room is awesome. Great value & would definitely recommend.
We had young kids 6 to 12 plus 2 college age kids and 5 adults, the house was perfect for all of us. The gameroom was absolutely perfect, maximum entertainment space and hang out for the adults after the younger ones were in bed. Would definitely rent again.
We came here from Colorado for a softball tournament, we shared the house with 3 other families and it was perfect! The house was clean, had all the amenities and was a great setup. Holly was great when we had a few questions, and very responsive and quick! The game room was a great addition, all the kids and adults had a great time using it!
House was perfect for our family. Stayed the week visiting our son. Kitchen came with nice complement of necessities. Nice to have a grill outside to cook on. Master Bedroom and master bath was great and roomy. Backyard was nice to sit outside and and enjoy the great fall weather. Neighborhood was nice and safe and great to walk around and look at Halloween decorations. Would easily stay here again.

Family Stay
The pricing was fair for the number of people and pets staying. The property could use a very deep and thorough cleaning though. The beds are not super comfortable, but there were adequate arrangements for large groups. The indoor and outdoor games were missing pieces so I recommend bringing your own activities. When the dryer broke, the owner was quick to respond and quick to get the repair scheduled, despite the Thanksgiving holiday.
Wonderful house!! So warm and inviting with plenty of room for a medium sized group. Very close and convenient to Texas Tech. We made some great memories and would definitely stay here again in the future!!
We enjoyed our stay at this home. It was perfect to bring your pet. Great backyard, had everything you need. This home is in a great, safe neighborhood. We would absolutely stay here again!!

Nice home for family
Great place for a family to stay. Clean and well taken care of. It is located in a quiet neighborhood.
We also live in the area but had guests staying with us for a graduation and this was the perfect comfy, home away from home. It accommodated our family wonderfully and we enjoyed the backyard games and grill! We've bookmarked this home for next family gatherings!
The house was perfect for what we needed. Very clean spacious and comfortable. The hosts try to accommodate for everything we needed. Game room was fun for all ages. The backyard was perfect for our graduation barbecue. We will definitely try to stay here when come back to Lubbock. 5 STARS⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is definitely not "luxury in Lubbock" as it was described. It is in Lubbock but far from luxurious. The interior of the home was relatively clean and mostly as described. The game room could definitely use some upgrades and attention. All of the games were not functional. The game room also got overlooked from cleaning because there were used paper plates under the sofa. . The outdoor area has grass that was knee high in some areas and the hot tub leaked. I let the property manager know about the issues and was told it they had been too booked up to have the yard done and it was too late to have it done the day we checked in and that he was aware of the leak and that it had been patched. Later that night we realized that there were no bath mats in the master bathroom but I didn't feel comfortable reaching out again because and issue seemed to be met with an excuse or explanation. There wasn't anything wrong with the rest of the home just as stated definitely not "luxury"
This was my first time using Vrbo and it was a very good experience. We enjoyed the house, the kids loved the game room and the fire pit making s’mores, I would highly recommend this property to any one
