The property was in a very private setting, approximately 8 miles from the Bastrop CBD. The cottage was clean and cozy - the air conditioning worked phenomenally! Every amenity was thought of by the owners and the fenced in yard made it super easy for my dogs to come and go.

Cute guest house in the woods

Cute guest house with all the basics needed for a great stay. Somewhat remote so satellite internet can be difficult for telework. Aside from that, it’s everything it says it is and we would definitely not hesitate to return for a holiday!

Best cabin and property (and host) EVER

I'd rather keep this place a buried treasure and keep it from being more popular than it already is. But...it is about my favorite spot anywhere. Room to roam, quiet, beautiful, secluded, welcoming touches everywhere, and comfort. Love it!

Peaceful Natural Area with Delightful Cottage

This listing caught my attention and it exceeded our expectations. We were visiting relatives so unfortunately didn’t spend enough time at the cottage to fully enjoy the trails, fire pit and porches. We would love to come back and just chill! I have already sent this listing to several friends that would enjoy it as well. Highly recommend a stay there!

Peaceful and Serene

This is a perfect getaway place to leave everything behind for a few days. Our hosts provided us with everything and more to make our stay pleasant and stress free. I would have liked to have a tv in the bedrooms only because I usually sleep with it on and turns off with timer set. We definitely plan on coming back again. Easy access to everything. Great restaurants. Went to Roadhouse, Jalisco’s Mex Restaurant, Southside Market BBQ, all had excellent food. 12 miles away from Bastrop Historic District, enjoyed it. Thank you to our hosts James and Wendy..

Restful and peaceful

My husband and I were looking for a place to get away and this cottage was perfect. We took our two fur babies and they thoroughly enjoyed the fenced in yard, as did we! This home away from home was in the middle of the woods and was so peaceful, sat on the porch for hours just soaking up the quiet. There was a nice walking path right beside the house. The home itself was wonderful, well cared for and well appointed. The decor was beautiful. Had everything you need to enjoy your stay! Thank you to the host, he was very attentive. Will recommend this cabin to all our friends and we hope to return again ourselves soon.

So quiet and nice!

First off, everybody’s right, the place is spotless! Even the front and back decks were very clean. We would definitely go back, when the weather is cooler. Jim’s place is great! He was super great communicator. We had one question when we got there and he came over right away. We did get to walk around on the property some. His place is five-star and has everything you need. When you’re out there you feel like you’re all by yourself out in the piney woods. We really enjoyed sitting out on the deck the first evening and watched an amazing lightning show, and welcomed the rain.
