Enchanting Casita, 5 minutes to Round Top!

When you rent a tiny one-room house in a field you don't expect perfect conditions, but you expect a place where you can sleep, and a host who responds to big problems. Unfortunately you can't count on that with this host, even though we found a bed that had partially collapsed through the floorboards. We were willing to overlook: that the dishes were so dusty we had to wash them before using, that the shower was just a strong trickle, that there were moldy spots on the walls near the ceiling and on the a/c vent from humidity, even the big hole in the house skirting that explains the animals we heard moving around under the house at night. But WE EXPECTED A WORKING BED. The middle support under the bed had broken through the floorboards, causing the middle of the bed to collapse into the floor. There was a deep dip making it really terrible to try to sleep on. We contacted them--twice--to ask for a fix, and sent pictures to show it only needed a piece of wood or something across the hole to prop the bed back up. But although they said that they "notified their team" nobody showed up. After we checked out and complained they offered 15% off a future stay, and when we asked instead for a partial refund they said they would give 15% back but 2 days later it hasn't showed up. We paid over 450 to have a place to sleep for 2 nights but didn't get it. Renter beware.

Location and setting was great. A little street noise wasn’t ideal but not a deal breaker. The property definitely needs TLC. Very rustic to the point of dust, moldy exterior and non existent water pressure. Bed had broken thru the floor.

location is great and clean

The cottage we rented was absolutely terrible! The bedding was stained upon our arrival, the porch was dirty, there are air gaps around the outside doors, so the cottage was full of mosquitoes. The rugs were stained and dirty. It literally looked like no one had been in there in months. Clearly, no housekeeping was done. When we first walked in, we knew we didn't want to spend the 2 nights that we had paid for, nonrefundable. We left and luckily found a hotel. It was very disappointing, as we had packed food and other things that were for a cottage stay. I contacted the property manager, and provided photos, and they sent a note saying they'd look into it. I have not heard any more from them, and no offer of a refund or even a partial refund. I would not recommend this property.

Very comfortable bed, close to Round Top and as described in the listing. We would recommend staying here!
