The Hive was a great home away from home! This home was cozy and spotless. We had everything we needed and the a/c kept us cool in the August heat. We will definitely be back!
It was just what the listing stated! The home is a perfect size & area for our family to stay when visiting & we plan to check it’s availability first for every trip.
We wanted to visit the Dinosaur state Park so we chose your house to stay to be as comfortable as possible. We also, bringour 2 small reacues and this way rjwu could be with us.
We were looking for a pet-friendly stay during our move from Florida to out west. The Hive was an extremely cute, well appointed and seemingly professionally decorated stay with a large, fully fenced in back yard for our fur babies to run and sniff after being cooped up in the car for 10 hours. Will definitely keep in mind for any other cross-country trips.

Cute house
This house was perfect for what we needed. Love the cute Hive theme. The house was sparkling clean!
Really enjoyed staying at the Hive. Very nice, clean and homie feeling. Great parking, big back yard. The bathroom is a little warm. Also, a great lighted walk trail behind property. I would stay again for sure.
We came to town for a wedding. Five of us stayed there and it was great for all of us and fit all of us very well. It’s in the best location. We were close to everything stephenville! Property manager/owner was super easy to communicate with and work with
The property was clean and updated. There’s a beautiful back yard for a dog to run and play. We cooked out on the grill one evening. There’s plenty of seating on the patio for everyone to relax and visit. Our stay was enjoyable and the location is convenient for downtown and the hospital. We traveled with our little dog and the back fence is large cattle wire so he had to stay on a leash. We would definitely like to stay here again!
I wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the amenities. House was clean, warm (winter stay), and the beds were very comfortable. My wife said she really like the color scheme for whatever that's worth. The dog and the rest of us enjoyed the backyard.
The one thing concerning us when we booked was that the location looked like an industrial neighborhood. But the location turned out to be one of the better features. The neighborhood was quiet and we were an easy walk to the Bosque River Trail and the restaurants on the square. Will stay there again, if we get the chance.
Traveling to South Texas we needed an overnight place to stay. We booked "The Hive" and are so glad we did! The place was spotless, had covered parking (that came in handy with the overnight storms), a huge fenced backyard for privacy, a king bed with one of the most comfortable mattresses and pillows ever, and great communication with the property owners! There is only one other house on the block and nothing worth seeing out front, but the back is where it's at with a big open space of nothing but nature and complete privacy. It was very quiet! Coffee and snacks were provided. There are several great restaurants in the area. If we are ever needing a place to stay around that area of Texas again, The Hive will be our go-to...it's a great place to stay and unwind!
It was a cute little house. Good location. We were visiting family and was able to find everything easily. Rhere were snacks, water and coffee already stocked. That was nice. I would definitely recommend The Hive, for a visit in Stephenville.
Very clean. Had everything we needed. The TV system needs instructions and batteries in remotes need to be replaced. Wi-fi was great. We were in town for graduation, The Hive was a perfect stay.
Very cute and comfortable place to stay. We came into town for a wedding so were not at the house as long as I would have liked. I was so happy to see that the coffee was available with creamer (which I had forgotten to pack), as well as a nice stash of snacks! There was also a car show and some booths Saturday morning, within walking distance! Would definitely stay again.
The hive is a cute theme little property! We came for orientation at Tarleton and stayed here. A few snacks and waters were provided and the coffee bar was a blessing.
