Very peaceful

We had a very nice stay at The Beer Joint. The hosts supply everything you need. Started each morning with coffee and sitting on the porch, and ended the day with a cocktail and sitting on the porch. Do wish there was a couch, but it is exactly as pictured and described. Would definitely stay there again.

Great getaway

Me and my sister stayed here while we were going to round top to shop. It’s a great location and a place to rest and relax. We’re able to get away from all the craziness at round top and relax and enjoy yourselves on the beautiful back porch with a great view. We will be back again for sure

Tranquil and Unique

The porch was a perfect setting for the long talks between two dear old friends! The ranch is so peaceful and relaxing. The wildflowers were gorgeous and the fresh fragrances of Spring were invigorating! It’s exactly what the doctor ordered!

Beautiful landscapae

Enjoyed the weekend at the Beer Joint. Clean, comfortable, festively decorated for fall during our stay. Peaceful porch swing w/nice landscape, birds, deer, sunrise/sets. House has lots to look at and appreciate + books, magazines, games and movies -- and any toiletries you could think of you might have forgot to bring. I felt like someone hit a stress reset button after my stay here, and would return again when in the area.... or even when I'm not.

Peace, quiet, nature, and BlueBonnets

Perfect place for us to get a little R&R. In the area for one day of work and found the perfect spot to relax. The Beer Joint was a great fit for us- quiet, sunrise on one side of the porch, sunset on the other and a place to fish in front. The Browns were the best hosts, very responsive to our questions and needs.

Best friends trip 2022

The Beer Joint was amazing!! When we drove into the ranch we felt safe as the coded gate closed behind us. It was so peaceful and beautiful there! The house was stocked with anything we needed! Cheryl thought of EVERYTHING and was such a GREAT host!! The decor was so fun and made for some fun bestie pictures as well!! The view from the front porch was awesome and we watched a young buck circle the pond our first morning as the sun came up! We were so comfortable and “at home” here and we didn’t want to leave!! Thank you so much Cheryl! You are the best and The Beer Joint is on our favorites list for sure!! Thelma (Becky) and Louise (Deana)

Uniquely memorable

For three nights we enjoyed the uniqueness of our rental. After our days spent in Round Top antiquing, we would play the jukebox and sit on the front porch gazing at the stars. It had all the amenities we needed and Cheryl even brought us fresh muffins in the morning. Such love and care has been put into every detail. Right down to the heart shaped stone placed on the hand towels in the restroom. We truly hated to leave.
