Everything we needed was here! Only suggestions are: please add grab bar or twoto bath and shower - since water is so wonderfully soft, soapy skin adds to slippery conditions; secure dishwasher to wall; and, add easier steps or railings to entrance onto porch from parking areas.

This place was perfect for our family’s short get away! We were close to Pedernales Falls where we wanted to spend some days hiking, but the house had a trampoline, hammock, gas fire pit for s’mores, awesome playroom, and plenty more for kids to do if we took a slow morning at the house as well. The kids loved it and we even brought our dog as it’s pet friendly. The whole family enjoyed it! The baby gate installed at top of stairs was super helpful, and I love that the house water is filtered and kitchen has reverse osmosis just like we have at home! Interior is beautiful as pictured. Reminds us of the place in Tuscany we stayed this past summer. Nicolette, the host, is wonderful. Super quick to respond and she even came to say hi when we were roasting marshmallows. She’s super friendly and personable. We felt right at home and enjoyed every aspect of our stay. Kids already asked when we can come back! Thank you, Nicolette, for sharing your beautiful home!

We had an amazing stay at Monticello Cottage during the holidays. It was decorated beautifully and had the perfect amount of space for our family of 4 plus dog. It was well stocked with what we needed for cooking and relaxation. My kids loved the games and coloring activities in the upstair loft area as well as relaxing on the hammock, jumping on the trampoline and roasting smores in the fire pit. We enjoyed its proximity to Pedernales Falls state park for hiking. Our host, Nicolette, was super responsive to our needs and gave great recommendations before our stay. We would love to return!

Best place to stay if looking for quiet, serene place that’s close enough to town to get groceries and shop. The owners did a perfect job of creating a wonderful space to relax and enjoy a Texas get away. All accommodations were well appointed and not to cluttered. Pet friendly with a good place to walk dogs and get great exercise walking the hills. We will definitely stay again.

Clean and Quiet

We were looking to get away from the Houston city noise. As we arrived we felt like maybe we didn't quite get far enough from the Austin city noise because it was so quick and easy to get there. But once we settled in, it was quite pleasant and relaxing. A nice porch to hang out on and watch the birds. Close enough to all the Dripping Springs action and state parks. The house is clean and well cared for with the owners living right next door.

Wonderful home that tucked away in the countryside

The home is cozy but plenty big. The owners have thought of everything you may need. We were in town for our son’s wedding and I needed certain kitchen items to make a dessert. I messaged the host to see if they would be there or if I needed to bring my own. Not only did she respond quickly but she had the items laid out in the kitchen for us!

Last Minute Birthday Get Away

Last minute trip to celebrate our daughter-in-laws birthday. Great location, close to lots of things do, yet felt like we were away from hustle and bustle. Saw lots of deer and a fox. The house was lovely on the inside and had a large porch with plenty of seating, table and outdoor fireplace. My favorite part was that there were so many bath towels and not the skimpy kind. They even provided us with their special blend of coffee, which was delicious, and a gift for our daughter-in- law. The owner was quick to answer any questions and was such a delight when we talked to her. Definitely a place we would stay at again.
