Cottage Stay

Great old cottage peacefully set in the country. Very quiet and no city noise. It was pretty cool to stay in a house that dated back to the 1890's. Loved it!

Quaint and Peaceful

Cute old farmhouse set in a private area away from town. We loved being surrounded by cattle and the owners were very kind. The home was perfect, beautifully restored and simple. Only 30 mins from the outskirts of Austin and 20mins to Killeen. Overall loved our stay!

Prairie Paradise

Oh the stories this little cottage could tell of the past! It was peaceful and quiet..just like I yearn for in my heart! Animals always make me smile! Leis & Mark are great hosts and we were able to stay an extra night. The cottage had everything we needed. The picture in the bathroom was our favorite. They also sell fresh, grass-fed beef! Yums! Thank you!

Great little out of the way place

Nice small cozy little get away. Your really away from everything except maybe a few cows. I was in town for a wedding and really enjoyed staying here. I never watched TV my whole time here. 15 minutes away is small town, Liberty Hill. I found great places to eat here, with outdoor seating, live music, and great food. One thing to note, this is really a great place to stay for any amateur astronomer. I regret not bringing my telescope along. There is one light on the property for the cows on the west side. It is a good light, does not project up and pollute the night sky. It is totally obscured on the east side of the house giving you a full view of a very, very, dark sky. I could make out even the dimmest of stars in the constellations. I was also there on moonless weekend. The stars were out in spectacular display almost as good as some of the dark sky parks. If your in the city anywhere in the area, I highly recommend as a nice star gazing get away. Also they have wifi for any electronic scopes.

Great visit!

My daughter and I stayed in this cute cottage for a quick trip to the hill country for a wedding. Everything was wonderful. We loved the sweet cows that greeted us across the fence as we had coffee on the front porch. WiFi connection was excellent. Such a cute place!

Little ranch house

Our stay was very comfy. The long horns were very pleasing to see early in the morning and at sunset. The Hostess Leisel was awesome! and communicated well. We will certainly return again.

Wonderful stay at restful cabin.

Photos represent the accommodations well. Polished, simple, VERY comfortable interior. Loads of firewood for evening fires. A well-appointed kitchen makes for easy meals. Owners were responsive, helpful and friendly. We look forward to returning.

Not worth it

I just slept there. I was worried that the bed would not be comfortable but it was adequate. The shower had dirt around the edges and when I drank the water it had rotten egg or sulfur smell. For the the amount I paid, I think it was no bargain

The most darling little farmhouse!

I really enjoyed my stay at Leisel’s place. It was a very charming house and the views were great. Set back on the end of the road, I was never bothered by any traffic noise. I loved hearing the roosters in the morning from a distance. It was very clean and well ventilated. You can tell they put a lot of work into this home (which looks to have been built before 1950). I love these kind of homes. Extremely simple check in and out. I will definitely stay again when in the area!

Charming, welcoming and very peaceful!!

It was such a joy to stay in your farmhouse. Waking up to the he sound of cattle in the pasture was reminiscent of my childhood when I would stay with my aunt and uncle on their ranch. I would highly recommend a stay here for anyone looking for comfort, peace and relaxation!!!

Quiet in the country

This guest house is at the end of a long lane, several hundred yards from the nearest neighbors. It was very clean and orderly. A/C works well. Would have liked more paper products and softer beds.

Perfect Getaway

This is the cutest cabin with the coziest feel! As soon as we drove up, the views of wildlife as well as the owners ranch, took our breath away. The cabin was sweetly renovated but still kept the true farmhouse feel. Immaculately clean and welcoming. We will be coming back soon!
