If you plan to explore outside of Round Top city limits, you'll need a vehicle to get to the surrounding area. Consider renting HOSTiE's chauffeured luxury sprinter van during your stay. Ride sharing apps, like Uber/Lyft, generally aren't available in this rural area.

Coverage details are spelled out in your rental agreement. This is applied to directing bookings & VRBO bookings (this does not apply to Airbnb bookings).

Quaint and Fun Place for a Girls' Weekend!

My friend and I stayed here for a weekend to catch up and decompress. The cottage was exactly as described and was perfect for our needs. The air conditioning worked well, even though it was the peak of our record hot summer, and we felt like it was a great, private space. It was walkable to places around town--just what we needed!

Round Top Perfection

Kobze House Cottage was the perfect “home base” for our shopping trip to Round Top! The location was in the center of it ALL! Walking distance to restaurants, shops and live music. The cottage was just darling and had everything we needed to make our trip both comfortable and convenient! Lindsey was a great host, easy to contact and so kind! Hostie does it RIGHT!

Cute and clean cottage

Four of us stayed in the cottage for a girls weekend. Upon arrival we were greeted with a cool (thanks for turning the A/C on in advance) room with a nice sign, card and a topo chico bottle with fresh flowers. Although it is small, it had everything we needed including a lighter for the candles and a wine opener. In addition to the beds there is a minifridge, a table, and a small closet. It would be great if they added a few hooks in the main area to hang bags or clothes, and one larger trashcan, but otherwise this place has all that you need in a small package and with a lot of charm! We enjoyed sitting outside in the morning and evenings and loved being able to walk to dinner and breakfast. The main house looks amazing and we might choose that one next time, but this is a great spot for a weekend trip to Round Top!

Great cottage in walking distance to Henkel Square

We stayed here one night to celebrate my niece’s 16th bday. Round Top is a great meeting point between Houston and Austin. The cottage is right in the heart of Round Top. You can walk to the shops and restaurants. We enjoyed a great dinner at Lulus and breakfast at Royers cafe. The place was clean, bed was comfortable with nice sheets and it was decorated so cute. I would stay here again.
