The space
Rusty's Cottage was designed and created about a year after my father passed away. His name was Ralph, but everyone called him Rusty, he was a very special man and everyone in Post knew him. My mother and I decided to put in a Honeymoon Romantic Get-a-Way in this small rock house directly behind her home, and we worked under the Umbrella of the Garza Hotel here in Post. Our cottage was a big success and rented for $165.00 per night. After 911, we ended up closing our small business down and it then became empty for months. I have now reopened Rusty's Cottage and I am in hopes that others enjoy it's beauty as much as we do.
Guest access
Rusty's Cottage is a small one bedroom house, located in the middle of the block, between 11th st. and 12th st. on Ave L. The large 2 story house on 11th and L belongs to my mother who owns Rusty's. There is a fenced in side yard, with a Wooden Pergola and outside furniture, plus a fire pit.
We have added a back area for your furry family member, it's in side yard the opening use to have a gate onbit, but now its a yard for your pet. It has a motion light. This way your pet doesn't have to go out in the front yard.

We enjoyed our stay very much. Teresa made everything very easy. Great communication. Helped with any concern we had. Convenient to down town. Would recommend for sure.
Very nice, clean easy to get to.
Wonderful little cottage. Very clean and host is super responsive. 100x better than any of the hotels in town
The place was clean and comfortable and we enjoyed a free movie, the charming fireplace and the great relaxing Whirpool bathtub! We will stay here again!
The best thing about this cozy cottage is the big inviting jacuzzi bathtub in the bathroom. It was wonderful and so relaxing after driving hours on the road. The cottage is pet-friendly and it was nice to have the enclosed, fenced yard for the safety of our 2 little dogs. We will be staying here again. Thank you!
Stopped for a 1-night layover on our way back home from Galveston, TX. Theresa was super easy to work with and answered our questions promptly. The property itself was clean, and cozy. The bed was amazingly comfortable. We travel with our small dogs, and we're always concerned about the backyard safety. No need to worry! The backyard is fully enclosed and clean as well.
My son stayed here and loved it.Theresa was great and so easy to work with. Will be staying here again.
Loved the esthetic of this house! If you’re into Victorian decor, this place does it well. I was only there for one night on my journey to New Mexico but, there was an incredible thunderstorm that blew through. The patio area is so serene, that it made it perfect to sit back, relax, and enjoy the storm…at least until it started pouring! Will definitely be saving this place for when I decide to take another roadtrip!
Great communication with the host! It's a really cute little place. We opted not to stay there as planned and the host was very gracious and understanding. Theresa is a gem!
Rusty's Cottage was the perfect overnight rest stop for our road trip to Colorado. The home is cozy, bed was super comfy, and definitely no complaints about relaxing in a jetted tub after 8 1/2 hours of driving! Teresa was incredibly accommodating - sent everything we needed in advance and checked on us because we got into town a little later than originally planned. We got in late and left fairly early the next morning so didn't get to experience much of Post (side note, Coffee Wizards was outstanding). Rusty's Cottage is definitely a hidden gem!
Clean, comfortable stay in a small Texas town. Small patio/courtyard is a nice quiet refuge at the end of the day.
It was so cozy and comfortable. Very quiet. It had everything but my food and clothes. Hands down the best stay ever.
Rusty's Cottage was the perfect place for 2 weary travelers our overnight stay. The accommodations were clean and comfortable. The host was very kind and responsive to any question. We would definitely recommend Rusty's Cottage. We will be back, if the host will have us!
Property was just what I was looking for and the owner was super accommodating. I was celebrating my 40th birthday and had balloons waiting for me. Was very thoughtful !
This is a great space! It’s cozy & intimate and beautifully decorated. The yard has a fabulous fire pit. A wonderful getaway in a fun small South Plains town.
