About this property

Quiet Comfortable Country Cottage Retreat

After a year long rental, the GGH Cottage is freshened up and back on VRBO just in time for the fall! It is available for either short or long term rentals.
The house is a bungalow style farm house that was moved out here from nearby Cypress, Texas. It was supposedly the farm house of one of the Cypress founding families. The house was probably built in 1930s or 1940s, but was completely remodeled inside in 2017. The exterior received a facelift with new siding in 2021. The common areas are all open and roomy. It has white painted wooden walls and original hardwood floors. It is completely furnished and comfortable. It has a small entry way porch which offers views of the sunset, but the back porch is the width of the house- very nice to watch the sunrise with morning coffee. The pastures have cows and calves to watch too. It is very peaceful and laid back and would be a wonderful artist or author retreat or just a respite from the city and offers plenty of space for kids to play outside and see the stars at night. You will just want to sit all day. :)

Note: There's plenty of space to park a horse trailer. The house also has an RV hookup that can be used.

About the host

Hosted by Tim or Karen Garrett

Host profile image
The land and house are owned by a descendant of Hempstead Watermelon farmers that had been farming the land for over 100 years on this and several adjoining acres of land. The land surrounding the cottage now is used for cattle grazing and a small apiary farm. The owner was born and raised in Houston, but enjoyed weekends on the farm when the "old folks" were still around. The land has now been passed to his generation, and he has retired out "to the country" himself. The owners have lived in and loved raising their family of three children in Waller County since 1995. The children have moved back to the big city of Houston, but the owners enjoy the privacy and slow pace of the country.

Why they chose this property

This property is a quiet comfortable place to decompress. It is close enough to Houston for a weekend getaway, but also far enough away to just slow life down. There are many quaint little towns in neighboring counties that are only minutes away that have a lot of Texas to offer. Plenty of space to park your horse trailer and includes an RV hookup for additional guests in your party.

What makes this property unique

Peaceful sunrises and beautiful sunsets in a private quiet country setting.
Plenty of space and RV hookup for additional guests.
