Maxine earned numerous basketball medals in high school and spent over 50 years as a beloved teacher with Abilene Independent School District. She later went on to mentor future educators, wrapping up her career at Abilene Christian University. Living to the grand age of 91, she passed away in 2023. Maxine adored this home, and her granddaughter, after giving it a few updates, is thrilled to share its warmth and charm with you! ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Games - Smart TV - Video games ### Outdoor areas - Fenced yard - Firepit - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - In-room accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a zoo ### Things to do - Arcade/game room - Foosball table - Water park ### 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) ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/89000000/88640000/88635500/88635490/7dcc911f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### King Bed Entire Home with Kitchen near ACU Abilene, Zoo Abilene - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 46 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-15&endDate=2025-10-16&selected=88635490&PinnedHotelID=88635490&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/102000000/101840000/101831900/101831885/d0451e00.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Historic Sayles Ranch- Pool and Amazing Decor!
