About this property

Private home with pool on 3+ acres within 15 minutes of Round Top & Brenham!

Nestled within the rolling pastures and under the shining Texas stars is “The Retreat”. Located just 12-miles from Round Top, 13-miles from Brenham and 11-miles to Burton, you will find this sweet sanctuary to be the “heart” amongst all the happenings! It is a delightful, single-story retreat with private pool & perched over 3+ acres with amazing views that provide front row seats to the sunset & stars. This private home is sure to sweep you off your feet with its happy blue doors, lovely finishes, open-concept design, and serene atmosphere. Enjoy the afternoons discovering the charm of the easily accessible surrounding towns, wineries, antique shops, the Blue Bell Creamery, and some incredible eateries. After exploring the local offerings, come back and relax in a rocking chair on the porch or around the firepit to soak up the most beautiful sunset; the one you promise yourself to never forget. Escape from the hustle and bustle to fresh air, a cool country breeze and the tranquil sounds of Mother Nature. This destination is ideal for a relaxing girlfriend get-a-way or special time with your loved ones. The Retreat was created to ignite that smile within your soul and fill your tank with peace & joy…and of course a touch of Dolly is awe-inspiring!

Beautiful & spacious

The home is spacious and beautifully decorated. The kitchen I thoughtfully labeled and stocked with all that we needed, included snacks, treats, coffee and accoutrements. The bathrooms had an abundance of towels, bath robes, slippers, and even advil and makeup remover wipes!

Great family getaway

Beautiful property close to round top! We went with our 1 year old and another family and their 2 year old. The kids loved the pool and the open floor plan of the house made it easy to keep an eye on them. Amanda thought of everything stocking the house with toiletries, cooking supplies and smores kit. Adorable welcome gift. Nothing but positive things to say about the house. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Trip to the Round Top Antique show weekend!

We were so impressed from the moment we drove up, until the moment we walked in the beautiful house. Pictures didn’t do this place justice. Large kitchen and living space. Great back patio. Beautiful rooms and the master bedroom And bath are spectacular! We want to come back in the spring. Thank you Amanda! What a sweet welcoming package!

Wonderful Family Get Together

We booked The Retreat for a short family get together and were looking for a ranch style home for my mother. This home exceeded our expectations. We loved all of the thoughtful touches that Amanda included, such as plenty of pool towels, paper goods, coffee, snacks, and toiletries. Small things make such a big difference! The house was very clean, pool was clean, and everything worked great. Communication with Amanda was easy, and it is apparent that she takes great pride in providing a wonderful guest experience. The Retreat was exactly what we were looking for and we had a great time.

Best Rental I've Ever Stayed At

Do not hesitate! This place is impeccably done. I found this property and booked it because of the pool. I had no idea how much better The Retreat would be beyond what the pictures show. Every little detail is perfection - the kitchen organization / tools, the comfort of the beds and bedding, the decor, the maintained landscape, the floats, the bathroom toiletrees from makeup remover wipes to individualized mouthwashes. Truly every thing was thought of to maximize enjoyment and relaxation. Amanda couldn't have been more helpful and joyous in her communications. Check in and check out was seamless. This is the best rental I've ever experienced and I've stayed at over 50. I hardly ever write reviews but just feel so grateful to Amanda for her generosity and skill as a host. Thank you for creating the perfect getaway.
