We were able to easily walk from the house to the lights, and the kids loved it. The house was cozy & we loved all the Johnson family memorabilia. My kids (7 & 10) thought the sunroom and record player were really cool. It is pet friendly, and we brought our dog. The yard was not enclosed, so we kept him on a leash. Hoping to come back next time when we can explore a little more on Main Street & spend some time at the Science Mill! ##### Andrea W.

This home was perfect for an overnight stay in Johnson City. My mom and I were celebrating her 70th birthday and wanted a convenient location to the restaurants and shopping. This was right in the heart of downtown Johnson city and walking distance from the restaurants and shops we wanted to check out. Very charming and loved the historical aspect to it. Wilma was very responsive and was also flexible when our first date didn't work out due to severe storms. Really appreciate how accommodating she was throughout the process! :) ##### Christina M.

Lots of history and info on LBJ and his brother. Front bedroom bed was very comfortable. Kitchen had plenty of what we need to make meals when we didn’t eat out. Owner made checking and checked out easy. ##### Gary B. Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Mary S. 5 Jul 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication Disliked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy #### Disappointed We didn’t actually end up staying at the property. We were there for a total of 5 minutes and decided to find a hotel instead. The house does not look like the photos online. The yard was unkept and the nearby homes were as well. The primary issue was the very strong smell in the house (stale and old). The owner refused to refund our money. This was our first bad vrbo experience. ##### Mary S.
