From Penny: This home is located in Bryan, just about 10 minutes from campus. The owner is a former pastor, and is the absolute BEST VRBO Host I’ve ever interacted with. He was awesome… and so was the house (and outdoor living space). If you are going to be in CS for more than a quick trip, this is a great place to be, as you can grill out and not fight the restaurant crowds. There is an HEB right up the street.
