Clean quaint and close
We were pleased with how clean and quaint the place was and amazed at how close it was to downtown. Easy walking distance to the square and walking is not my wife’s favorite thing. I would stay there again

Excellent service and location
We stayed here the night before moving our daughter into her SFA dorm. This rental was very quaint and in a great location. The host, Michael, was very responsive and made sure we knew we could contact him if we needed anything. I would definitely stay here again!

Amazing Location!
Great location for walking to see the charm of downtown Nacadoches. It’s a small stiludio, but has all the needed amenities. The host was very helpful & prompt in reaching out when we had an issue. Pet friendly & that was appreciated!

Large Studio vs Small Hotel Room
Was looking for a place downtown that I could walk to a venue two blocks away (starts w/ Fre). Did not like my stay at hotel so found a hidden gem that had plenty of room and parking right outside the door. Would highly recommend checking this Vrbo listing over hotel.

A true gem
We were here for a baseball tournament and wanted somewhere that allowed pets. We really lucked out on this little getaway. Michael was the best, and the room was exceptionally clean. It had everything we needed. We're coming back in May and plan on staying in the larger unit next door. Michael was the nicest and friendliness landlord we have ever worked with.

Nacogdoches stay
Cute space for a quick trip. I didn't realize there would be other lodging room on the other side and the walls were definitely thin! The shower could use a little scrub and the shower curtain could use a little bleaching...other than that it was very tidy and close to everything.

Michael was so wonderful to work with upon our arrival! A/C worked great during this heatwave! It was like staying in your best friends house where lots of extra amenities are available....Unlike many places where they give you one roll of toilet paper for fear you'll steal it. Would definitely stay here again!

Nac red door
Everything was fine, well equipped for short stay. I would recommend instructions for the TV and heat be turned on before a new check in as heater takes long time to warm space in cold weather.

SFA Parents...this is your place
Beautiful, Very Clean, AWESOME location VRBO to stay. This Downtown Gem was so close to Dolly's for breakfast and a wonderful stroll around the square for some fun shopping....just in time to make an afternoon Lumberjack football game. WIN/WIN..... The ONLY negative feedback is the listing states the rental sleeps 3, sorry but your student will have to head back to campus. Room sleeps 2 MAX.

Visiting our son at SFA
This was such a cute little room to stay at. The place is a studio room with a pretty substantial amount of kitchen counter space. The only thing that was amiss was the bathroom door, which is a sliding barn door, had a small little gap of an opening. The room was very neat and tidy. The tv is big and easy to see from the bed. The location is a block from the downtown area and very close to the SFA campus. We had an issue with the WiFi and the owner immediately came over and fixed the problem. I was impressed with his promptness and kindness he displayed in resolving the issue. Overall, we would stay here again!

Cozy Great Location!!
Michael’s studio is cozy and so perfectly located to walk everywhere you could want in old town Nac. We loved it. The studio is very well stocked…including a water boiler pot, which for us was great! Hubby does tea and I do pour over coffee. Nice touch! Michael has done a good job of planting a lush wall of plants for privacy right out front. Makes for a lovely place for coffee. It looks just like the pictures online but keep in mind that they are wide angle photos. It is a small, intimate space. The owner is a really nice guy. We would definitely stay again.

Within Walking Distance
Host has put a lot of work into fixing up this little studio. The building is old, but all fixtures and appliances are new. It is within walking distance of many of the town's attractions and the host lives right next door so is readily available if needed. Was only 28 degrees the first night and the heater wouldn't keep up. After texting the host the next morning he was there in 30 minutes with a supplemental heater. Weather warmed after that and all was fine. Great host! Comfortable little studio.

Don’t Assume
Very cute and clean place and it met what our need was—-a place to sleep. May I suggest you not assume everyone knows how to work the AC and ceiling fan/light. The clickers were there, but no how too instructions. I tried to contact the owner, but needed a code and then a password (I had nor knew neither) before I could contact him. In other places we’ve stayed, we could text directly. That we know how to do. Also, the where to park was unclear to us. Why not just say “Park in the big lot next to the house.”? Also, there was no brown basket for the towels to be put in. Finally, it is disturbing that the entry code doesn’t seem to change after each visitor.
