Really enjoyed our stay. The house is beautiful. We stayed over Easter to visit my sister and our son joined us from College Station. The house is very comfortable. We especially enjoyed sitting on the front porch. The backyard is fenced in and it was nice to hang out on the backyard deck.

Great house and neighborhood. Stayed there during round top spring show and it was the perfect spot. Close to the show and to a lot of great restaurants in downtown Brenham.

We had a great time at the church house. We felt right at home. It was in a quiet neighborhood in a great location. The kitchen was stocked with pots and pans and cutlery. We enjoyed making meals every day. Only downfall about the kitchen was that they advertised Complementary Blue Bell Ice Cream but we did not receive any (the husband was heartbroken) BUT, the wife got a bottle of chocolate wine that was a delicious version on alcoholic chocolate milk (so I call that a win 😂). The outside was peaceful and fire ring was perfect for the cool weekend. Our doggie loved the outside area and was able to run around without us having to worry about him getting out thru the fence. We needed more trash bags during our stay and the host was able to have some dropped off on the porch within minutes! The owners were great and left us a detailed list of what to do at checkout and how to operate things in the house (thermostat and fire ring mainly). We definitely would love to stay again!

The home is charming and well decorated, and it’s such a beautiful home. Our children loved the loft room, and all of the beds were comfortable. The hosts were very accommodating and always provided timely responses. We had an absolutely wonderful stay.
