The Porch House • Curated Cottage in Brenham, Wonderfully Restored 1950's Home
The Porch House | Thoughtfully Restored. Wonderfully Quiet.
Welcome to The Porch House, a beautifully restored 1950s cottage where historic charm meets modern comfort. Set on over 1.5 peaceful acres just minutes from downtown Brenham, this thoughtfully updated retreat was designed for slowing down, reconnecting, and enjoying the simple pleasures of country living.
Whether you're planning a Round Top shopping weekend, visiting friends and family, attending a wedding, exploring Blue Bell, or simply escaping the city, you'll find everything you need for a relaxing stay.
Inside, you'll discover a home that has been lovingly renovated while preserving its original character. Modern conveniences blend seamlessly with timeless details, creating a space that feels fresh, inviting, and effortlessly comfortable. The fully furnished cottage offers well-appointed living spaces, a stocked kitchen, comfortable bedrooms, and all the amenities needed for both weekend getaways and extended stays.
One of our favorite places is the front porch. Start your morning with a cup of coffee while listening to birds sing, spend the afternoon with a good book, or unwind in the evening with a glass of wine as the Texas sun begins to set. It's the perfect place to slow your pace and simply enjoy being here.
Outside, you'll enjoy plenty of room to spread out on the peaceful property. Traveling with an RV? An RV hookup is available, making it convenient for additional family members or travel companions.
Our location makes exploring Washington County easy:
Minutes from historic downtown Brenham's boutiques, restaurants, breweries, and coffee shops A short drive to Round Top for world-famous antique shopping, seasonal markets, and events Close to local wineries, Blue Bell Creameries, lavender farms, and beautiful wildflower drives Convenient to Texas A&M, Houston, and Austin for weekend escapes
Whether you're here to hunt for antiques, celebrate a special occasion, or simply enjoy a few quiet days in the country, The Rest House offers the perfect blend of comfort, charm, and convenience.
We hope you'll settle in, breathe a little deeper, and make yourself at home.
