Perfect 1 night stay

We really enjoyed the charm and character of this VRBO. The host was so kind to set up the extra twin mattress for us and we appreciated the snacks since we were traveling with two kids. We only stayed one night but almost wished we had a little more time at this beautiful studio VRBO!

Fun one night stay

The Goldfish Loft is a unique and beautiful place to stay in Brownwood. We were there one night for a collegiate sport event and were charmed with our experience. The rental is very well appointed and within walking distance to great shops and restaurants. I would highly recommend it if you find yourself looking for a place to stay in Brownwood TX.

Our third time here

We love staying at the Goldfish Loft. Everything is perfect, and it has the cutest decor. The snacks are so appreciated because there are always two teens with us. It’s our home away from home where we come to visit our son at college.

Cool Property!

It was a very cool property in the heart of downtown Brownwood. Walking distance to all kinds of shops and restaurants in an up and coming small Texas town! The loft was well done with a lot of nice touches. The deli next door is quaint and has awesome food. Other than a few trains in the distance it was very quiet and peaceful despite being downtown. I will stay there again in the future!

About the host

Hosted by Terry Anderson

Host profile image
I am pleased to share my beautiful property with you. I am an artist and retired registered nurse, mother of 3, and grandmother of 4. I love to create, hike, and travel. Most of all I love spending time with my family and enjoying nature.

Why they chose this property

I happened on this property a few months post retirement. It has been a wonderful place to live and make art. My neighbors are great. It has been fun to watch the downtown area develop and old buildings being restored to their former glory. There are block parties, festivals, and a surprisingly full calendar of events. And yet, it is quiet and within walking distance of some of my favorite places. It reminds me of the Montemarte area in France, where you have a beautiful blend of old and new, and a lot of artistic and entrepreneurial people.

What makes this property unique

Lovely space full of natural light, perfect for art making, resting or reading. Close to everything and not too far from some other cute towns with their own offerings (San Saba, Coleman, etc). The downtown experience is a cultural one where you can walk to dinner and the theater, or to an art gallery or bookstore.
