Blue Willow is 10 miles outside of Abilene. There are two ways to get there from town. The shortest of the two involves driving on approximately 4 miles of caliche county road. If you want to avoid a majority of the caliche road there is a way that is mostly paved but it’s five miles longer and you will still drive on about 1.5 miles of caliche road. They are well maintained county roads but they you are still in the quiet country.  
  
The neighbors are mostly older families but there are a few younger families. Everyone keeps to themselves.  
  
Please note: To give you the best possible experience, our professional management team requires a mandatory damage protection step after booking. For your convenience, you are provided the option to choose between a full waiver of damages covered to $50,000, or a refundable damage deposit hold, whichever is most convenient for you. The full waiver of damages is just one of the options, you are always welcome to choose the refundable deposit if that is your preference.

Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy

Disliked: Check-in, communication

#### Pleasant quiet and remote 

I was extremely elated when the owner took matters into her hands after having trouble with my credit card company and VRBO although the complications had absolutely nothing to do with the property or the owner. The property is beautiful well maintained well stocked and so inviting and I am Happy with the owner and the home you might refrain from using Sezzle Afterpay or anything other than your regular cards due to VRBO disclosing card information to management companies only of course, after they take their 70 fee and it may be shut off like mine was due to suspected fraudulent activity and you could be displaced at Christmas time for a few days also!! Again not the owners fault. Although my stay was cut short due to that, I was extremely happy still with what time I got to be there thank you Miss Stephanie you’re a blessing.
