BREAKFAST is also provided -- waffles and fruit in the freezer; and pancake mix, Kind bars, and oatmeal in the pantry.

The house was perfect for our Aggie football weekend! Great location! Kitchen was well stocked for the few meals we made while there! Host was friendly and quick to respond to questions. Would stay here again!
Location was great and close to our son's home. Place was very clean and appeared as in the photos. Only issue was that the TV did not have good reception - so we were unable to watch football on Saturday.
This was an amazing place! Super clean and had all the amenities. The deck was beautiful and a perfect place if you want to have a small gathering. Beautifully decorated for Aggies and a great getaway for football games or graduations, ring dunks, etc. The host was so gracious and and quick to respond. We won't hesitate to stay there again.
Jane is the best hostess ever with the gift of hospitality!
The home has all one needs to stay awhile and host a special celebration (graduation!)
Jane thought of everything!
Super happy and grateful!
Especially love the back deck and huge yard space!
This is the 2nd time we have rented and I love it more and more each time. It is an amazing, comfy home with anything and everything you can ask for. We will definitely be renting again before our 2nd Aggie graduates
This property was a perfect. The host was very responsive and very helpful. The new backyard deck was very large to sit and enjoy the nice size backyard.
The kitchen was stock with treats as a nice surprise.
Thank you for making my first VRBO experience enjoyable.
Wouldn’t hesitate to rent this property again. Felt like a home—extremely clean & well-stocked in the kitchen, bathroom. Lots of towels & sheets, etc. The house has big closets and plenty of floor space for air mattresses and plenty of seating. The backyard truly is the best for bird watching—our 3-7 year old grandchildren totally enjoyed spotting & hearing all the birds. The deck is huge & would be great for grilling. We also appreciate that all instructions were detailed and thorough. Location was perfect for us.
Thanks for a great stay. And for the coffee!
We celebrated a birthday with friends and family, and had a great time at the Aggie Half Acre. My daughter attends TAMU, (WHOOP!) and we had friends and family in town that stayed here.
We had a great stay and will stay again. Jane was very reaponsive and accommodating, and the home is well appointed for what you need amd more.
The beds are comfy, the space is comfy and clean, and the neighborhood is great. There is ample parking, and we felt very safe.
Thank you, Jane for sharing your space and being a excellent host! Gig'em Aggies!

Home away from home! The attention to detail and plentiful instructions were so helpful and appreciated. Our son is a fish in the Corp of Cadets, and we came down to watch him march and provide a home cooked dinner for him--and a place for him and a few buddies to have some time off the Quad. The huge living area was a great place for them to relax. I enjoyed hearing them laugh about their stories from the week. What a squared away group of young men. The new gas grill was perfect for grilling and the kitchen oven worked great for making cookies. It was very clean and cozy. My 8 month old grandson was fascinated with the birds in the morning in the back yard. Thank you so much. We really enjoyed our stay.
Very clean and awesome for a family visit to College Station. The large backyard was a great place for my boys to play catch and run around playing tag. The location was very convenient to access the highway and to get around town very easily.
We stayed a long weekend for a wedding in College Station. The house was perfect and the owners were absolutely wonderful, they went above and beyond to answer all our questions for the busy weekend.
