The Sam Houston Johnson House

The inside was clean but the porch and steps were filthy. We could not sit outside. The pots and pans were unusable. The mattress in the master bedroom was very uncomfortable. The place was quaint and quiet. However we would not book the place again. Consuelo R. Hughes

A quaint and historic stay! Host was very responsive and dealt with a couple of questions quickly for us. Excellent location within walking distance of downtown Johnson City and easy access to all wineries in the area.

Host was very accommodating and easy to communicate with. We have stayed at this house before and love the convenience of its location.

This a lovely two bedroom cottage with a fully furnished kitchen that we enjoyed over an extended weekend. It’s located just off 290 and is in easy walking distance to downtown Johnson City.

Wow! Gorgeous home. Reminded me of my grandma's house. All the comforts of home; cozy. Relatively quiet for being close to 290. Perfect getaway with the hubby. Hiked Pedernales Falls, enjoyed a hotdog from Fat Boy burgers, went back to the house and listened to music on the turntable. PERFECT!!

We loved staying here. Just a couple of blocks from the town square. Right in the heart of Johnson city. Beautiful little place. Thank you for having us!

If you want to enjoy the downtown Johnson City area, this is a great location. Lots of fun within walking distance.

Great place to stay for a weekend! It worked out perfect for us.

Clean. Quiet.

The house is so cute and in a great location, just seemed neglected and could use some updating. The yard was not mowed, trash bins were stuffed full, could not enjoy the outdoor spaces for the overgrowth. Beds were comfortable.

Super easy check-in/check-out with a unique historical connection to LBJ. Great place to stay with a pet in the Hill Country

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the property. The rental is centrally located in Johnson City and there are numerous bars, restaurants and historic sites/museums within walking distance. Johnson City is a small town but is a great home base for all of the wonderful activities that TX Hill Country has to offer.

Cool home right by the courthouse. Perfect to see the Christmas lights.

We came to see the Johnson City Lights for the holidays and had a great time! We were able to easily walk from the house to the lights, and the kids loved it. The house was cozy & we loved all the Johnson family memorabilia. My kids (7 & 10) thought the sunroom and record player were really cool. It is pet friendly, and we brought our dog. The yard was not enclosed, so we kept him on a leash. Hoping to come back next time when we can explore a little more on Main Street & spend some time at the Science Mill!

Weekend getaway to see the lights! Walkable to courthouse and all the festivities in JC. Pet friendly to boot. Cozy and cute little bungalow.

We enjoyed all of the historical memorabilia in the home. It was cold and rainy and the house was very warm and cosy. Bed is more of a queen size than a king.

Came for memorial service of friend. House is old, but historic, apparently part of LBJ’s immediate family. Convenient to 281 and things in Johnson City. No dishwasher, but we knew that going in so we brought disposable dishes and cutlery. Be aware that pic of kitchen shows a Mr. Coffee but had a Kuerig. Coffee isn’t provided so plan accordingly. Bring ice, as well, no ice trays. It’s dog friendly and worked well for us with our puppy dog. I suggested to owner she provide written instructions for operating TV. It’s FUBO or something, but we weren’t familiar with how to use it. Just got lucky!

This home was perfect for an overnight stay in Johnson City. My mom and I were celebrating her 70th birthday and wanted a convenient location to the restaurants and shopping. This was right in the heart of downtown Johnson city and walking distance from the restaurants and shops we wanted to check out. Very charming and loved the historical aspect to it. Wilma was very responsive and was also flexible when our first date didn't work out due to severe storms. Really appreciate how accommodating she was throughout the process! :)

We didn’t actually end up staying at the property. We were there for a total of 5 minutes and decided to find a hotel instead. The house does not look like the photos online. The yard was unkept and the nearby homes were as well. The primary issue was the very strong smell in the house (stale and old). The owner refused to refund our money. This was our first bad vrbo experience.
