Have rented a number of places in Sherman over the past 10 years, and this house is astounding and outstanding, both in the context of Sherman, Texas, and as a non-hotel stay anywhere. Incredibly restored and maintained old house on a relatively quiet street and close to both AC campus and the square. Rules and policies are very clear and dealing with Sidney was as easy as can be. Will look for availability here every time I visit Sherman in the future, whether I have 5 people with me or am traveling alone.
