Great property
Adorable home near round Top. Great outdoor sitting area. Near main road which was a little noisy but sound machines are provided. Would love to stay here again!

Beautiful Stay!
My family and I stayed here over the weekend to partake in the nearby Brenham Christmas festivities. The rental was absolutely beautiful and exactly how it looked in the pictures. There was a slight issue with the heater not working that the rental manager notified us about the day we were arriving. It was no big deal as she/the owner went above and beyond to make the situation right. They even accommodated our request to have the space decorated a bit Christmasy, which delighted our kids. Would definitely stay again, thanks!
