Peaceful getaway and convenient to Round Top!
This is a beautiful, quaint and peaceful place. Very convenient to Round Top! The manager is very responsive and goes the extra mile for her guests to have everything they need! We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay there again!
Just a few minutes off of the highway. Country roads easy to traverse. Very serene.

ARIZONA ROOM
The Rocking Horse Retreat is outside of Carmine in a beautiful setting. I enjoyed the quiet and the green rolling grass and all the wildflowers. Rented this to attend Round Top Antique week. A good location. About 15 minutes easy drive to Round Top. The only problem is windows do not open and the wall air conditioner is above one bed --- did not need a/c --- but, could not have slept with this over me. Thunder storm early one morning work me -- but, what was scary was the wooden window blinds rattling like crazy in the wind. I thought the window was going to blow out. The property manager is very responsive to questions and requests.
Spent couple of days there with family (2 adults and 2 small kids). Outside is great, with cows and friendly goose nearby. Short walk to the pond. Stayed in Arizona room, it shares the wall with Texas room, and missing a kitchen (it has microwave and mini fridge). There is a great charcoal grill outside. The side road to the property is gravel, but it’s only 2 miles.
We mostly enjoyed the quiet hood, visited Somerville state park and a couple of small towns nearby.
My daughter and I came for our first trip to Round Top and Warrenton. We brought her 9 month old baby who proved to be a wonderful traveler. The location was ideal: very peaceful and far enough away from the show traffic to really relax. It was also reasonably priced. The only issue we had was with communication before we arrived. I sent a message for the lock box code, but never received a reply. Fortunately, someone was on the property who called to get the code for us. I didn’t even have a number to call, so we were lucky she was there when we arrived.
I would definitely recommend this property and would stay here again.
We enjoyed our stay so much. Very peaceful and relaxing. Extremely clean, comfortable and cozy. We got to enjoy beautiful sunsets and gorgeous sunrises. We were visited by a friendly goose each morning. Very quiet and peaceful.
We originally booked the Arizona Room but the property had an unforeseeable issue when it was close to our arrival. We ended up being upgraded to the 2 bedroom cottage on the property. Very charming and very clean. The beds were very comfortable and all the necessities were available. The hot water had a strong sulfur smell and I suggest they get that looked at. We stayed to watch the meteor shower in September which offered plenty of dark sky. Enjoyed it very much. Overall, it was a very pleasant stay.
Renting this place was easy. Access to property was convenient. Instructions were direct. This was a great place for me to take care of what I came to do. Thank you!
Great little place out in the country. Quiet with a friendly goose that visits in the morning. Little tough to find after dark as there are no lights out in the country lol. I'd stay there again in a heartbeat.
This unit was cozy, quiet & quaint!
We enjoyed our stay while shopping at Round Top Antique Festival.
Would highly recommend this charming little cottage!
The place was so cute. Beds are wonderful. View so nice and relaxing. Country paradise.
Great experience and would stay there again. Beds great.

Clean and comfy
Loved our stay at rocking horse. The Arizona room was clean and roomy. Beds were comfy and bathroom was large enough for a big man like me to move around and take care of business comfortably. It was so peaceful out there on the farm. far enough away from the city to get total quiet but close enough to still be convenient

Perfect place to relax
Great place to stay to relax or shop the area. This place had everything we needed.
the air conditioning unit was not appropriate for cabin, it never got cool, the cabin was hot when we arrived and never got cool enough. beds were comfortable, the cabin was clean, everything worked except for the air condition.
