About this property
Fire Pit + 1/2 Mile to Round Top | Cummins Creek Cottage
Looking for a dream getaway in the charming town of Round Top? This cottage is a half mile drive from Henkel Square, but all the calm and serenity you're looking for in a hill country get away.

Beautiful Property
Place is lovely. There are a few exceptions: the bathroom door is a barn door that doesn’t offer any privacy and it appears there are limits to the AC and water out were very low. It was difficult sleep in the Texas summer.

Quiet Getaway
I frequent Round Top several times a year for antique week…this cottage was SO CLOSE and lovely! We loved the convenience of our little cottage, and it was perfect for our two night stay! Hostie was wonderful with communication, and we had everything we needed!
