Built for two guests who want to stay somewhere with character instead of a cookie-cutter hotel room. The House Living Room: Tan sofa with red paisley and blue butterfly pillows, feather artwork on the walls, and a wood coffee table. Windows let in plenty of natural light. Bedroom: Your private sanctuary showcases coordinating butterfly textiles that flutter across crisp linens. A ceiling fan whispers overhead while bedside lighting creates the perfect ambiance for reading or quiet conversation. Kitchen: This galley kitchen means business with white cabinetry, rich butcher block counters, and everything a cowpoke or city slicker needs to rustle up a meal. The Kitchensmith coffee maker stands ready for those early morning adventures. Dining Nook: An intimate table for two sits beneath the morning light—perfect for planning your day over breakfast or sharing stories over a nightcap. Bathroom: Clean lines meet Western comfort with herringbone tile work and thoughtful storage. Fresh towels in desert blue await. The Patio: Your private outdoor haven features covered seating, a gas grill for authentic Texas BBQ, and a clay chiminea that'll have you sharing stories under a blanket of Hill Country stars. ## Property amenities ### Parking and transport - Car recommended ### Bedrooms - Bedroom ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Shower ### Laundry - Laundromat nearby ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Location highlights - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near a zoo ### Things to do - Water park - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ## 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 9.8 Exceptional 12 reviews £163 includes taxes & fees 2 Jan - 3 Jan 2026 [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-02&endDate=2026-01-03&selected=101856061&PinnedHotelID=101856061&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/75000000/74440000/74433100/74433098/050df18c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Den in the heart of Abilene.
