The cottage was nice and secluded. There were lots of deer and Johnson city is adorable. There were lots of ants on the “porch” part of the property, lots were dead but they were still there, I am sure it’s just because it was hot and summer time in hill country. My only complaint is that the window unit was not enough to keep up and keep the cottage cool. The hosts were very communicative and everything we needed was available. We enjoyed our weekend there

Cozy cottage

My sister and I visit the hill country about once every two or three months. We are one club members and come to pick up shipments. We happened upon Kara’s cottage a couple of times ago and found it very comfortable and just what we needed.
