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.

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!

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:)

Perfect Getaway in Johnson City, TX

We really enjoyed our short stay in Johnson City. This sweet house was perfect for us. It was an easy walk to lots of locations- a local coffee shop, a local breakfast place and a local craft brewery. It was an easy drive to the tasting rooms and local wineries on 290 and to the Lyndon B. Johnson historical sites. This house sits in a terrific location. We made good use of the backyard and the barbecue grill, and the kitchen was appointed with everything we needed and then some. The house was easy to find. We arrived later than expected and in the dark, but the house was very welcoming with lights on - waiting for us. The owners were easy to communicate with. We would definitely recommend this property.
