Terrific location walking distance to Main St., the place where everything happens. Easy drive to wineries and Enchanted Rock. Just a great getaway weekend and our VRBO didn't disappoint. I would definitely stay here again. No kitchen seemed odd, but we ate out (Hangar Diner, Sunset Grill, etc.) and didn't really miss it. I recommend this trip and location, highly!!
The King size beds were so comfy. We enjoyed the seating area to watch some tv and unwind after a day of shopping on Historic Main Street
I wish we would have taken advantage of the Hot Tub, just didn't plan a long enough trip. Maybe next time!!!

The cottage was charming and very comfortable for a girl's trip with separate bedroom and bathrooms for each of us. My rating would have been much higher but for one significant problem. There was no hot water. And the outside temp was in the 30's. I called Gasthaus as we were checking out to report this problem but got a recording and did not know if this concern was received before the next guest stayed in the house.
First, the good. This side is quite nice and charming. It has a small bar with an extra sink and a commercial roll out for hanging clothes. It has a nice little sitting area with a fireplace. Keep reading. For the bad, if you have two couples, which was the case for us. There were no doors to the bedroom’s not even a curtain. Then, the bath/shower is treacherous. I had to get help from my husband to get safely out. It was very tall and enveloped in rocks. The step leading up into the shower jagged rock and it needs hand rails. Maybe it’s just a deal with short people, but the bathroom vanity is too tall.The bed we got was hard and uncomfortable. The other bed was soft and comfortable. I could actually see day light or moon light between rocks and doorways.
So, for this cottage, I wouldn’t go with a 2 couple scenario.
Celebrated our anniversaries together. Was nice for 2 couples. Roads were bit dark at night to walk. Uber was available fairly quickly. overall very nice stay.
Beautiful little cottage, perfect for our girls trip! We woke up to two fawns laying in the backyard. The decor was adorable, had everything we needed. Check in & check out were very simple. Will keep this cottage in mind for future visits!!
this was our all-time favorite VRBO stay. Property was lovely. Everything we needed was in the cabin. Couldn’t have asked for a better weekend. Would definitely suggest the Bowie cottage.
Property was just as described. It was a cute cottage and we had a lovely stay. Would definitely stay here again.

Bowie Cottage was just wonderful. Having two separate areas for sleeping and two separate bathrooms was a bonus. The price was so reasonable.
The Cottage was very clean, except for the air vents, especially near the bed in the first section.
Thank you!
Nice cottage, clean, great location , tons of space

Everything was great. Had a great time. Would go back anytime.
Thanks,
It is a great little place that was well appointed and in a great location. I would recommend for sure. Just note that there is not a full kitchen so if you plan to cook it won’t be there. We opted to eat out at all the great places anyway. Can’t wait to go back.
