Absolutely adorable! Very clean and nice amenities. Cottage is exactly as described. We will definitely be coming back.
Kelly, June 2025
Absolutely gorgeous location with ‘authentic country’ charm. It has so many touches (from the snacks and treats to the luxury shampoo) to make you feel like your home visiting family. There is nothing the host didn’t think of. I didn’t need half my stuff … it was all there! The location was beautiful, the house so charming, but my favorite was the amazing shower that I never wanted to get out of. Highly recommended!
Victoria, June 2025
The cottage was perfect for our weekend getaway. We enjoyed visiting the area for antiques and found treasures and nice folks in the town. The cottage is in a quiet area which allowed you to relax and enjoy the day. Thank you for having “just in case” items available. I have never seen that and was very impressed. Looking forward to another visit!
Dr. Frederica, June 2025
Beautiful cottage, very clean, had everything you could possibly think of and the host was amazing!

Candice, May 2025
Lovely, peaceful cottage. Very quaint with beautiful antique furniture. Enjoyed the front patio. Clear instructions and communication from the host.
Garnett, May 2025
What a great little cottage in a fun location. You can almost feel the history seeping from the walls. Located on the outskirts of Chappell Hill, it’s close to shops and restaurants in town, or (if your like me) it’s makes for a good base to go exploring the surrounding countryside on a motorcycle or car. I’ll be back.
Christy, May 2025
We chose the cottage based on the location we were needing for our daughter’s wedding in Chappell Hill and were very pleased with the very pleasant surprise it was! It wasn’t just a place “to stay” ….it was cozy and comfortable !! Front porch morning coffee and afternoon happy hours were a joy . Chappell Hill will now always hold a special place in our hearts because of the wedding , but this special spot will be somewhere we’d love to come back to!! Thank you for your attention to detail!

Markley, April 2025
The cottage was beautiful and just down the road from a beautiful field of bluebonnets. The fresh eggs in the refrigerator were a nice bonus.
Dana, March 2025
Cottage is so warm and inviting! We instantly felt comfortable, like being at home. The kitchen and bathroom were both fully stocked with essentials. The king bed was amazingly sumptuous! And the front porch was sheer heaven! We enjoyed watching the cardinals and the rain from the cozy sofa on the porch! Host was always available for questions and recommendations, with quick and friendly responses! We would love to come back for another visit to this peaceful, cozy cottage!
Kristen, March 2025
What a wonderful stay! It was truly a peaceful retreat. This charming cottage provided the perfect balance of comfort and rustic charm. The interiors were cozy, clean, and well-equipped. The highlight was the front porch—sitting on the porch with a cup of coffee, surrounded by trees and birds, was pure bliss!
Kelsey, March 2025
Host is communicative and helpful! When I had to cancel my booking due to circumstances outside of my control, host did everything to help me find an alternative date to go to the cabin. Because of this, I was able to enjoy a beautiful anniversary weekend at this cabin with my husband. The cabin is also at a perfect location with a beautiful view.
Teresita, February 2025
This home had everything we needed to make this the perfect weekend getaway! Within walking distance of lots places to enjoy a meal or a nice beverage. It was very cozy and quiet. Hosts were very responsive. We look forward to coming back for a visit.

Amy, December 2024
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here in this comfy, cozy cottage in Chappell Hill! Host took the time to add so many homey amenities, and the location is perfectly walkable to the cute, little town of Chappell Hill. We enjoyed games with the family, coffee in the morning and quality time with our fur baby. We loved that this place is dog friendly! Thank you for a wonderful stay! We hope to return in the near future.
Mark, December 2024
The property was a quaint little cottage that was decorated with an antique feel. Everything was as advertised and when our stay in early November has to be rescheduled due to multiple emergencies, the host quickly responded to my request to reschedule for December. I would definitely recommend a friend to stay here.

We enjoyed our stay very much. Very peaceful environment. Loved the mornings on the front porch! Friendly, helpful host!
John, November 2024
Such a quaint place! Loved the rustic motif and the antique décor! Super comfy bed and couch. Internet in the area is a bit spotty (Texas countryside), so be open to that. Very relaxing: saw deer, squirrels, birds, and very little light pollution at night. Would definitely stay again!
Carolyn, October 2024
This house was not so little! Incredible location, right in town, loved the bikes and rode them to breweries and when I woke in the morning I went for a nice bike ride around town - lovely! I highly recommend staying here.
Mark, October 2024
A lovely peaceful home, would highly recommend.
Sheryl, October 2024
Absolutely beautiful cottage literally within walking distance of the old town square. There was such detail added to the decor, pantry, and home. Host was amazing and this home just had that familiar vibe to it. Loved sitting in the rockers on the front porch ♥️ This is a charm of a home and will book again in April ♥️
Susan, October 2024
Adorable little cottage and furnished so cute. Everything was perfect, you will love it!
Danielle, October 2024
Quiet country setting that is only a minute drive from a quaint small town!
Laura, October 2024
Vacation accommodations without the hotel feel. I call it home away from home. Thanks
Nancy, September 2024
This is a charming turn of the century cottage with high ceilings, period details and beautiful antique furnishings. Comfortable and peaceful for a romantic getaway. Rechelle very thoughtfully provides more complimentary items than we’ve ever seen. It’s so close to Houston, yet you get the small town, out in the country experience. Complete with deer around the property and a magical frog symphony from the pond at night!
Cara, August 2024
My husband and I completely enjoyed our stay at this gorgeous and peaceful cottage. It is decorated beautifully and so calm and quiet. We definitely look forward to returning!
Chris, July 2024
Really Amazing place to getaway and be comfortable. Just love the classic set-up to feel connected to history. Amazing host, have had the pleasure of staying multiple times and always amazed with the communication and just kindness. Great host, great place.
Carol, July 2024
The cottage was very cute in a lovely location. Host communicated well and promptly.
Jenn, July 2024
This was a terrific little get away spot! It felt like I was a world away from hectic everyday life, but really was just about 30 minutes from my home in Cypress. The rental is well done with lots of little details that helped me feel at home. Check in and check out were super easy! This was a perfect location for me to get away for a day or two.
Randy, June 2024
Love this place! 2nd time staying in 4 months. The property is just perfect for our needs and the host is so nice. The refrigerator is a little small but wasn't an issue for us especially with 2 good places to eat right down the road. This is a truly dog-friendly place and our pup enjoyed the fenced in front yard.
Johnny, June 2024
Host was great from the start. The house is beautiful and so peaceful! Everything was just as expected and she communicated very well. We were so lucky to have her as our host. It will be an anniversary to remember. I would highly recommend staying here.
Kevin, June 2024
Perfect place for weekend getaway! We booked this nice little home for the weekend to attend the George Strait concert at Kyle field. It was the perfect place, not too far to drive to College Station and far enough to be out of the crowded city. If that's what you like, then this is the place. There are a couple nice restaurants just a mile or so from the house and the food was great. Very friendly host and communicated everything we needed to know well ahead of our arrival. We had a very pleasant experience.
Wayne, June 2024
Great stay. We had a great time.
Penny, June 2024
Such a cute and cozy place. Very peaceful and so close to downtown!
Michael, May 2024
This place is practically perfect! We took an impromptu anniversary trip. It was so peaceful and serene, it was exactly what we were looking for. We got a scoop of ice cream at Blue Bell creamery and then had dinner in a great Italian bistro named Brossi’s. It was so restful that it felt like we spent a week there, even though it was only an overnight! Worth every penny!!
Sarah, May 2024
We booked this as a quick overnight to be near Chappell Hill & this was a great location. The pantry a nice bonus, the bed was comfy & we saw a variety of birds in the morning.
Gloria, May 2024
Very peaceful and private just what I needed.
Ken, April 2024
Wonderful and relaxing stay at this neat old farmhouse. Sitting on the deck provides serenity. The place has lots of amenities and a comfortable bed with comfortable linens. I recommend this place.
Nancy, April 2024
Loved our stay! Very cute, clean and happy little home!
Dave, March 2024
We enjoyed visiting The Cottage at Chapel Hill; everything was just perfect during our two night stay—we look forward to going back. Host was friendly and helpful.
Gary Anne, March 2024
Quaint Cozy Cottage. This was our second stay. We've fallen in love with this place. There is something magical and peacefilled here. My favorite is sitting on the deck or porch having delicious coffee provided and reading a book early morning listening to the birds. Occasionally we see deer. Our dog loves the yard, porch and deck as well. It has all the amenities needed and much more. The location was great for our needs. The owner is quick to respond and very pleasant to work with. We hope to return.
Jon, March 2024
Weekend in the country for the Blue Bell Half Marathon…cottage was in a great location central to many palaces to explore. Besides our time in Brenham for the race and creamery we hit up the lavender farms, a couple of wineries, and some friends visited an antique show. My wife was particularly impressed with all the thoughtful touches around the house…if you forgot anything you should be covered, from the stocked medicine cabinet, toiletries, pantry to name a few. The fenced in yard and porch were a relaxing place for us to chill in the downtime with our canine companions.
Kyle, March 2024
Perfect retreat from the city. This cabin will take you back in time. Everything about the cabin and property was beautiful. It is located so close to the historic downtown and only a two hour drive from our home in Houston. The perfect getaway! We took our dog and he loved the grounds and we didn’t have to worry about anything because the yard is perfectly secure with a fence. The home had everything and I mean everything you could possibly need. They have definitely thought of everything when putting this place together for renting. The host was very nice and great communication. We will definitely be back.
Dave, January 2024

Barrett , October 2023
Host was very responsive throughout the process of booking, the stay, and check-out. The cottage was perfect for my wife, me, and two dogs. Very comfortable and comes equipped with pretty much anything you'd need.
Denise, October 2023
Gereat host! You could tell by the amount of attention and detail she put into her home that she is a very thoughtful and caring person. The place had so many extras, and amenities for guests to use as if you were staying in your own house. You really don’t need to bring anything extra because she has thought of everything! My friend and I came to go to round top for the day, and stayed at this cute little house about 30 minutes away. I think the thing we enjoy the most was sitting on her cute patio on the swing, having a glass of wine and talking.
The bed was very comfortable, and the home was quite cozy. We also enjoyed the honey buns and small cheese and cracker snack that she left us in the mini fridge- such a thoughtful gesture. Definitely a cute place to relax after a long day of walking and shopping.
Patricia, October 2023
Amazing host. Will definitely have a return stay. So peaceful and loved watching all the deer nearby. Beautiful place!
Sandi, October 2023
The house was amazing, we had the best time! We felt right at home. We will definitely be back!

The perfect place for our weekend stay in Chappell Hill. We were walking distance to the Scarecrow Festival and close to the antique festivals in Round Top. Very nice farmhouse feel and perfect weekend weather!
Wayne, September 2023
A great weekend get-away from the city! Nearby wineries, a brewery and country restaurants. Even more dining options in nearby Brenham. Very nice and comfortable house for the weekend and host is incredibly responsive to any need.
Rachael, September 2023
Fantastic stay. We could not have been happier with our visit. The house was beautiful and very comfortable. Rechelle was super helpful if we had any questions.
Tom, August 2023
It is very hot in Texas at the moment. The air conditioning is challenged at these extreme temps - so she had a fan delivered to help keep us cool. Very thoughtful.
Debbie, August 2023
An absolutely charming house, I loved it inside and out. Rechelle is a great host, we had to contact her and she was Johnny on the spot’ wonderful host and we will be going back!!
Tom, June 2023
We had a great stay. Very relaxing. Very well equipped cabin. Great fenced in yard.
Kristina, July 2023
The Cottage is a perfect example of a vintage hill country farm house with perfect and tasteful updates. Chappell Hill has plenty to offer for food and is so close to many fun things to do in the area. The cottage was a delightful place to decompress and feel pampered. Host has thought of everything and is a most excellent communicator. I loved it.
