We traveled from out of town to visit family and the Buda cottage was the perfect place for our family gatherings. The cottage inside is so charming and the large living and dining room area was perfect for dining and visiting. The stone walls, antique chandeliers and furniture and arched doorways made us feel like we were inside an ancient castle. The kitchen was fully equipped to meet our needs. The beds were comfortable and the linens were so soft. It was a treat to take a bath in the upstairs clawfoot tub. Oh, and the upstairs chess table and pool table kept us entertained. Lastly, the home was very clean and well taken care of. It is only a 5 minute drive to downtown Buda, with nice restaurants, specialty shops, and a wine bar! 5 stars all around for this very unique and special home and property and 5 stars for the hosts! We will definitely be back!

Charming house and setting
Beautiful home with all the amenities you could possibly need. Watching the sunsets from the tower in back was mesmerizing. The location allows you to visit other hill country towns. Definitely a wonderful place to take the whole family.

I wanted to express how much our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Cole Springs Historic Buda Cottage. The home exudes charm and was incredibly well-stocked for our party of eight adults. We were delighted by the beautiful property, especially the magnificent oak trees that added to the overall ambiance. If we find ourselves in the area again, we will definitely rent this house. Thank you for a wonderful experience!
