Charming Cottage

Perfect location for visiting the wineries on 290. We liked being in Johnson City rather than Fredericksburg. Enjoyed sitting in the back yard in the evening. Inside is updated and had everything we needed. A very enjoyable stay!

Overall my stay was very pleasant! The property was clean and as advertised. Everything looked like the pictures except the lawn was fairly overgrown. The location was ideal and within easy walking distance of downtown. I greatly enjoyed my stay and would recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in Johnson City.

Quaint cute home! Comfortable beds and very clean. Nice that there was a traditional coffee pot for my husband and not a K cup. 2 bedrooms and 2 baths, with a great setup. Living area and kitchen are in the middle of home with bed/bath on either side. Nice yard, however, with our visit being in August, we did not get outside to enjoy.We would definitely stay here again:)
