Sipping coffee while watching for four legged visitors was a lovely way to start the day. We also appreciated the convenience of being closely located to Bastrop, Smithville and LaGrange. If your looking for a peaceful place to relax with the convenience of visiting multiple towns I highly recommend staying here! ##### Teresa S.

Beautiful scenery and the house has everything you need. Not far from antique shows in Round Top/Warrenton. Downtown Smithville had great antique shops and art galleries along with a general store that serves up some of the best specialty coffees you will ever taste. We saw deer on the property every evening that we were there, can’t say enough how relaxing and cozy this place is. Definitely will be back. ##### Michele G.

We entered the cottage the silverware was dirty, the mini blinds over the sink is broken,could not shut. In the bathroom there are bugs in the exhaust fan light. Some of the towels had stains and some smelled like feet. The valve to turn the shower on broke but I fixed it to work momentarily! The positives are that the view was great, but no sunset cause of the rain... all the livestock and deer in the area were amazing. An amazing get away for sure if you love being outdoors. ##### Sammy P. Stayed 1 night in Jan 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Beth M.

Jan 22, 2025 Liked: Location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication #### Nice quiet area, zero communication from host, good Potential. The structure was fine--cute and thoughtful, but the floor was littered with hundreds of small millipedes oddly enough. Nothin too crazy. We swept the whole place and carried on. It was clear that no one had given the place any attention in a while. There were cobwebs and dead bugs all around the corners of the ceiling. None of this was enough to upset me, but the following made me feel strongly that I deserved some kind of price break or rebate:ZERO communication from host.Key lock box not set to the correct code. We got lucky and guessed the right one after several failed attempts to speak to the host.No instruction on how to turn the water on or that it would be off in the first place.No instruction on where the water heater was or how to turn it on, or that it would be off in the first place.Internet did not work. MIFI device would not connect to the network.Direct TV was not subscribed to any channels, so literally no TV.Incorrect bedding supplied. We did not have a sheet big enough for one of the beds.I am not one to leave reviews typically, but this one was strange enough to warrant such action.Not a total loss though. The heater was warm; the views were stunning; and it still felt like a getaway.Thank you unresponsive host. Hope everything is okay in your world..We left the place better than we found it. ##### John L. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nanette G.

Dec 3, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Country getaway Everything was smooth with the process and communication. The owner was quick to respond to every question we had. The cabin was clean and comfortable. A word of warning about shopping in town, bring groceries from home if possible because the only supermarket in town is pricey. The city of LaGrange is a nice country drive away. You could do your shopping there and enjoy some of the best roads and scenery in Texas. What a state. I’m so glad to have been providentially born here. Remember the Alamo, remember Goliad. ##### Leo L. Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Linda H.

So close to the town of Smithville, but still the wonderful peace and quiet of being in the country. Good seating in the living room and a really spacious kitchen. Bedrooms are separated by a full bath. The sunsets were amazing and even though it was cloudy for us, I bet the dark skies for star-gazing are amazing, too. The cottage was very clean...plenty of towels, dishes and utensils. Host was responsive to any questions and even checked on us as a wonderful storm came though one night - and we felt secure and safe!

Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Angel C., El Paso Jul 25, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Workcation We really enjoyed our stay. We were in town to attend a festival and the cottage was perfect. We were able to see cows and horses walking right by the cottage. It was such an amazing experience. We would definitely stay again. ##### Angel C.
