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. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car recommended ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shower ### Entertainment - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Firepit - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - Near a zoo ### Things to do - Water park - Birdwatching nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/102000000/101860000/101856100/101856061/30867476.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Hideout - A Sayles Ranch Guesthouse Downtown Abilene - Air conditioning - Parking available - Microwave 9.6 Exceptional 9 reviews £156 includes taxes & fees 19 Oct - 20 Oct [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-19&endDate=2025-10-20&selected=101856061&PinnedHotelID=101856061&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/112000000/111840000/111830800/111830781/63301790.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Charming 3-bedroom house with WiFi and AC in lovely Abilene Abilene - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.6 Exceptional 13 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-17&endDate=2025-10-18&selected=111830781&PinnedHotelID=111830781&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![2 bedrooms, iron/ironing board, WiFi, bed sheets](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/103000000/102020000/102017300/102017242/aec4443d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Downton Abbey - A Sayles Ranch Home Abilene - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning 9.8 Exceptional 8 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-17&endDate=2025-10-18&selected=102017242&PinnedHotelID=102017242&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/101000000/100890000/100884700/100884610/ac3e774a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Patti's Place ( POOL | Sleeps 9)!
