Charming Cottage - Central Location for Johnson City

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.

Cute historic home

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.

Disappointed

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.

A lovely old home and was nice to spend the night at. Loved learning the history of the home as well. We went to Bryans on 290 for dinner and it was in walking distance from this home.

Relaxing cottage

The house was as described and accommodating. Lots of history and info on LBJ and his brother. Front bedroom bed was very comfortable. Kitchen had plenty of what we need to make meals when we didn’t eat out. Owner made checking and checked out easy.

Charming, historical home in great location!

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! :)

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

Memorial Service

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!

Disappointed

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.

Great Location but needs some TLC

Overall we enjoyed our stay. The location is in a great location 3 blocks from the Court House in Johnson City. It was very convenient for our plans to get out and explore the winerys around Johnson City and a short walk to the restaurants in downtown. The road noise at night is not too bad. Them only time I noticed noise from 290 is when a 18 wheeler would go by, but it wasn't too bad. We had planty of room for us (2 adults & 1 child). The property manager, Wilma, was very responsive and great to deal with. There are some things that kept us from giving a higher rating. With an older home you need to expect that it needs a little more TLC. The other issue we had was that the listing states in the description that it has a King bed and double bed. Actually has a queen bed and a double bed.
