The perfect place to stay while in town to drop our oldest son at college! Clean, comfortable, many fun activities for the younger kids. No one wanted to leave. Thank you for making our last weekend with our son so memorable.

Marcie and Rene are amazing hosts! I had some issues while booking, but they went above and beyond to make sure I was able to reserve their property for my graduation weekend. The home was clean, spacious, and the backyard was perfect for playing games and spending time with family. I truly appreciate their hospitality and would absolutely stay here again.

Perfect Howdy Experience
We were in College Station for my son’s New Student Conference at Texas A&M University. It was his grandparents first time in town. Staying at the howdy house was a great experience. The house was cozy, clean, and decorated beautifully. We will definitely be back!

Caitlyn's Graduation
The house was perfect for a Celebration of my daughter's graduation. Very cozy places to sit and eat and just have a fun time hanging with family and friends. We did not get to utilize the backyard due to weather, but the yard was cute and looked exactly like the pictures.

Great stay for Aggies' destruction of Mizzou - October 2024
The property was a great place for our group of 8+ guys. House was very clean and well-appointed. Sleeping arrangements were comfortable and entertaining space was excellent - especially the back yard.
Close enough to walk to Kyle Field (though we chose to drive and park at the Chicken).
Owners Marcie and Rene were very responsive and friendly. 5-stars all around - we'll be back!
