8. Need a place to stay on your next trip to Abilene?

Nell Anne sent this suggestion in.: Sayles Ranch an upscale Bed & Breakfast.  The only connection with the actual Sayles family of Abilene is probably 642 Sayles Blvd. - THE original Sayles home. This 1889, Queen Anne Victorian was the original home of Henry and Hattie Sayles, after which the Boulevard was named.
