Wonderful house in a great town

This house is lovely, clean and close to Roundtop. The town offers many eating opportunities and the house is perfect for family or friends. The house if full of history, but updated on things that are necessary for a perfect stay. The hosts were quick responding to a question I had and I would definitely rebook. Highly recommend!!!!!

Lovely stay!

Such a cute and well kept house! We weren’t there much but while we were we felt at home. Very small issues but there were several flies in the house already when we got there- we killed several. The master bed is a bit creaky- may just need some WD40. The signs in the house about the 2 bed vs 3 were confusing but the host cleared that up quickly when we asked. Great host communication! We truly had everything we needed. Would definitely stay again!

The church house

We had a girls’ trip and the church house was just perfect-full of antiques and comfy beds. The neighborhood was quiet and the house itself was easy to find. I’ve never had better hosts; Clover and Rachel made sure every need was met. The town of Brenham was cute as could be , filled with fun shops and lots of good food. I would absolutely recommend.

Great family time

Our family gathered to enjoy Shakespeare plays in Winedale for the weekend. Your home was perfect for our needs. Everything was exactly like the pictures. You thought of so many details that made our stay even better. When we called with a question Clover was so nice to come right over and address the issue. Having the owner nearby was so helpful and appreciated. Thank you again.

Sisters' Week

This home was darling. My sister and I spent a week here to work on some projects we brought. The beds were comfortable. We liked that we were "5 minutes" from anything in Brenham as the sweet neighbor told us. We enjoyed day trips to the Bush Library at A&M, the Antique Rose Emporium, Halletsville, and Martha's Bloomers in Navasota. Thank you!

Perfect spot for a weekend in Round Top

This was the perfect house in the sweetest little town for my mom, my sister and me! It was so nice to stay just barely outside of Round Top and be able to get a coffee without a line, etc. The owners were phenomenal - helpful, informative and kind. We hand the best time!

Cute house and great location for our family / friends girls getaway

We very much enjoyed our stay at The Church House for our family and friends girls getaway weekend. The neighborhood was peaceful, and close to shopping and dinning. The backyard was perfect for lounging in the evenings, and we very much enjoyed the large dining room table for our meals together. The beds were very comfortable with plenty of space for our group, and the hosts provided snacks, coffee and wine :) This is a charming house in a charming location and we would book again if staying in the area in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Clover Carroll

Host profile image
We’re Clover and Rachel Carroll. We love Washington county and have lived here for over 20 years. We’ve worn many hats throughout the years. We were professional musicians in the band Back At The Ranch and writers for Texas Live Magazine where we wrote about Texas history and cool, off the beaten path, things to go, do, and see in Texas. We also produced and hosted a Texas travel show called “Down The Road”. You might see some of our stories and music at one of our bnbs. We currently have three bnbs available in Washington county; The Old Dairy, The Church House, and The Cotton Den. We hope you enjoy your stay and promise to give you a 5 star experience.

Why they chose this property

We love history and Washington county is the birth place of Texas. Every old home has a story to tell. This home was built the year President Roosevelt created the WPA on May 6, 1935. The majority of WPA projects built infrastructure, such as bridges, airports, schools, parks, churches, and water lines. In addition, the Federal Project Number One programs undertook theater, music, and visual arts projects, while other service programs supported historic preservation, library collections, and social science research. At the same time Missouri Synod Lutherans living in Brenham, William Penn, Giddings, Lincoln, and elsewhere to worship, started the process of establishing a place of worship in Brenham. On October 21st, 1934 this group of Lutherans met for worship at the home of W.H. Sehlke. 28 individuals were present for that first worship service which was conducted by Pastor C W Lukens of Navasota. Grace Lutheran Church was formed on April 23rd, 1935. The Church House is located directly across the street from The Church House. You will notice the stone work of the wall on the property is identical to the stone work on the church building which was typical of the style of work done by the WPA in 1935.

What makes this property unique

One of the unique feature of The Church House is the loft room that adds additional sleeping space and is a favorite for younger guests. One of the unique features of the fire ring is that it was once a water well that has now been filled in.
