I stayed two nights and loved it. The property is gorgeous, and the cottage is charming and comfy. It was a very relaxing experience overall. Joan was warm and welcoming and readily available if needed. I liked that the property was close to the Hill Country State Natural Area, which was the purpose for my visit. I left my stay feeling recharged - I was a little sad to leave. I would definitely stay here again.
Lovely, thank you
It was a great stay. I'd definitely go again. The hosts were amazing and easy to communicate with.
Wonderful stay and the view was absolutely beautiful
If you want to rest this is the place to go. It is beautiful, peaceful, and just far enough away from civilization to be able to think but close enough to go enjoy it also. Wonderful accommodations. Highly recommend.
Very comfortable. Cute decor. Nice to have breakfast items (cereal, yogurt, muffins, juices) and a coffee maker. Located on a beautiful and peaceful ranch.
I give 4.5 rating on Sophie's Cottage. We knew going in that the cottage was small and cozy. It was very cute and charming and had everything we needed. My husband was disappointed that he had to take a tub bath and not a shower. To make this a 5 star rating here is what I would improve upon: 1. Trim the hedges and shrubs near door of cottage. The rose bush was creeping in with thorns! The outdoor furniture was not as in picture and not usable! The cushions could be replaced and one chair did not have a place to sit on. The coffee was stale and old and the condiments was hardened. {Glad that I brought my own] The information said water would be supplied in the mini refrigerator. We had plenty of juices but no water. There needs to be a softer cushion in the one chair that my husband used. He was not comfortable in it. With those changes, It would definitely be a 5 star.
My husband and I had a wonderful time. We had everything we needed and enjoyed the seclusion. The night sky was absolutely breathtaking. Would definitely recommend this cottage.
Great place to reset and rewind. The stars at night, are big and bright.
This is a tiny cottage on a piece of property nestled in the hills. Is is a lovely drive out, very rural. The cottage is a tiny place, but the price is right. If you are a fan of the Hilton this might be a shock but it is clean, nice linens and just what you need (except for a microwave or tea kettle). Very much what you might find in Normandy France.
My husband and I enjoyed our stay immensely. We loved being out away from the business of the city and the beautiful starry sky. The host was a sweetheart and chatted with us about the property and animals. We were able to disconnect from our cell phones and just enjoy each other. 5 stars!
This was such a lovely place. So calm and peaceful. Enjoyed the chickens in the morning. Host was wonderful.
was a great getaway...... cottage, chickens, horse and longhorns were such a blessing. Joan was a wonderful host.
We enjoyed the stars, animals, peace and quiet. The bed was cozy and ac kept us cool! Breakfast and treats left for us were very sweet. The owners are very friendly and helpful. I would have liked a better separation from bedroom to the restroom but overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be back.
First of all our Host was amazing. She welcomed my husband and I straight away with warmth and hospitality after our crazy drive. She asked us to just let her know if there was anything that we may need to please feel free to walk over. My husband and I both have worked in the hospitality industry for years so we can see when someone genuinely cares. When we give someone five stars if means that they went over and beyond to make our stay as comfortable, stress free and peaceful as possible. We loved how we had a sense of warmth, comfort and security. I can't stress how much we needed this experience of healing comfort. Thank you so much for having us! ??
My husband and I had a wonderful time at this charming little cottage!
The cottage was the perfect place to unwind from a busy day.
