Apr 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Everything and More I am not a boring Hilton mom. I love to immerse my family into the culture and local fokelore of our destinations. My children are all adults and we have stayed at some doozeies, but every now and then we find a hidden Gem. The Hat House is definitely just that. The fact that it is shaped like a hat barely touches the magic of this place. If a house that lived in my mind could come to fruition, this would be it. Every little thing, from the cowboy cat rug in the bathroom to the ruler box tucked into in the entry way. There was so much to look at and explore in such a small space, but we never felt like we were croweded. The bedrooms each had their own theme and the game room was an added bonus we didn't expect, but were grateful for on a rainy evening. The upstairs patio was genius and would have been fun to utilize for morning coffe, if not for the rain. We will definitely be back to The Hat House for future stays. ##### Elizabeth R.

Feb 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Rocky Raccoon 100 The cowboy hat house was a perfect selection for me as I was running the Rocky Rqccoon 100 mile endurance run. It was just 15 minutes from Huntsville State Park. Every detail of this property is exceptionally thought out. The beds were incredibly comfortable. ##### Tom L.
