About this property
Newly remodeled, on beautiful acreage between Temple & Belton, gorgeous views
The Texas Star cottage is only five minutes from Temple, seven minutes from Belton and only eleven minutes to Salado. The Silos, in Waco, are forty minutes away. The cottage is centrally located, yet has a country feeling. Fruit, muffins, and beverages will be in the refrigerator upon your arrival to be enjoyed at your leisure.. Sit on the covered porch, take in the views. Bikes are available to ride with prior notice. Taylors Valley is a beautiful area to take walks. At this time, we don't have horses but are seeking horses to pasture.
The cottage has a living/dining/ kitchen combination, beautifully decorated with a separate bedroom. It has a covered front porch with relaxing rockers that look over the pasture. The bedroom has a comfortable queen size bed with down comforter. The cottage is equipped with a full kitchen with granite countertops, flat screened television, with Netflix, Hulu & Disney, DVD player with over 30 DVD's to watch, WIFI, and a day bed. Our ten acre property is located across the street from a large ranch, and is a great area for hiking and biking. This property beats any hotel room in terms of privacy, space, covered parking, and hospitality.

This was a perfect cottage b&b for a couple nights. Clean, accessible, snacks, and an amazing homemade blueberry muffin surprise for breakfast one morning. Met and exceeded our expectations.
Wonderful cottage just outside the city. A country feel with convenience only a few minutes away. Very quiet, very clean and well stocked. Highly recommend if you are in the Temple area.
Ideal place to if you want space and a country feel. Safe, clean, and quiet. Perfect size for my husband and I with our dog, Maggie. Will look this place up again next time we stay in the area.
On a recent trip to visit family, we spent 4 nights here. I enjoyed waking up and having coffee on the porch and hearing the sounds of nature - but also being close to everything.
We visit the area several times throughout the year and definitely plan on returning. This place is a jewel!
The stay was everything we could expect. Privacy, cleanliness, everything we need to prepare food in the unit was there. Hosts are very accommodating, and showed us much southern hospitality. Will definitely book this place again!
The property is a beautiful cottage with easy access to Temple and Belton. Horses on the property next door with treats to feed them if you want. Extremely quiet and relaxing getaway location. Cottage is clean and comfortable and was a great launching point for our Belton adventures. Snacks waiting on our arrival and had great and easy communication with our hosts. Can't wait to stay there again!
Great little spot with a touch of country…but very close to Belton. The host made everything very easy. We felt well taken care of. I especially loved the blueberry muffin :)
Stayed here with my husband and sister, we were very impressed to see the property very well taken care. Very thoughtful by leaving us some muffins and snacks available at our arrival. Hope to stay there again.
Very beautiful property even in January. Home is beautiful inside and out. Has everything you need for your stay. Host is very responsive. Would rent again and again.
A very lovely country setting! Tastefully decorated and had all the accommodations of home. Definitely on our 5-star list!

Beautiful cottage in a quiet, rural setting, yet only minutes from restaurants and shopping in Temple. Host communicates well and had the place stocked with drinks, snacks and amenities. Enjoyed the horses adjacent. Very comfortable stay. Would definitely stay again.
We were very pleased with this beautiful location. We were visiting our son and this will be our new go to place. Love the homey touches and the welcoming owners. We will be back!
This property was just adorable and makes you feel right at home! The fresh homemade muffins were delicious!! I can't wait to stay here again my next trip to Temple. Thank you so sharing your cottage!
