Nice Place, but Privacy?
The cabin was super cute, clean and perfectly located for our weekend needs. However, if you want privacy while you relax outside, not so much. Owners home is within feet and there are cameras seemingly watching. It felt creepy and weird. We were gone most of the time anyway, the Mammoth Monument was amazing!

Perfect little bungalow
Absolutely perfect. It is exactly as listed. Immaculate. A box of treats and a bottle of wine greeted us. I especially loved the dishes and glasses. Beds were clean and comfy. Colorful decor which won my heart. A peaceful deck to sit and watch the Brazos roll by. I would highly recommend this for a nice little getaway.

Cozy cabin
The place is near the main house on the property but separated by a fence and plants. It feels like you are in the woods but you are close to civilization.

What a cute place!
Property was exactly as you see it. Comfortable beds, plenty of room. Yes, the bathroom and kitchen are on the lower level, but the handrails and lighting made us feel safe. The gazebo was a great place to relax after a long day of shopping. 10 minutes drive from downtown on a Friday evening. Book this place!

Cute, but pictures are not accurate
The indoor decor was very well done. But the cricket/bug problem was unpleasant - and I grew up in the country. We had an infant with us, and did not feel comfortable putting him down on the rug. We were really looking forward to lounging in the hammock pictured on the website. But it was inaccessible due to the overgrowth in the yard. There was an issue with the smoke alarm when we checked in, and the owner was on the spot immediately to fix that. I just felt that several areas really could have been cleaner and better maintained for guests to be able to enjoy the space.

Nice place with great scenery
We really enjoyed our stay! Definitely not a place for folks with stair issues. The bathroom is down a few stairs. I would be careful about going in the summer if you are hot natured as the A/C unit is in the living area . It kept the LR and kitchen areas cool, but bedrooms were a bit warm. They do have ceiling fans which helped and the outside temp was over 100. Would like to return when it’s cooler and enjoy the outdoor gazebo area!

Awesome place!
Really nice little place with a great outdoor setting with large outdoor deck and views of the river. We took advantage of going down to the river and did a little hiking. This cottage had a great kitchen setup, lots of extra pillows, bedding and comfortable beds. The host provided coffee, snacks, and a bottle of wine. We were there for a Baylor football game, and it was a great location to get out of the town and enjoy nature. The only downside of the cottage, was the couch was very uncomfortable. Adding a outdoor fire pit would make this place perfect. We did enjoy our stay!
