This is our favorite vrbo home, the host does not leave out a single thing and it is always incredibly clean. Charming decor, beautiful elevated sunset views and amazing location close to Round Top. She has plenty of activities like puzzles and games and the pool is perfect. The setup of the home is perfect for everyone.

This was the perfect place for our family, right between Austin and Houston. The house had everything we needed, we did not need to leave once. The host was fantastic, very accommodating and communicative. We will be back!

Thank you, Khoa for your kind words and 5-star review. We look forward to your next stay!
The home is spacious and beautifully decorated. The kitchen I thoughtfully labeled and stocked with all that we needed, included snacks, treats, coffee and accoutrements. The bathrooms had an abundance of towels, bath robes, slippers, and even advil and makeup remover wipes!

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay, Hue! Thank you for the great 5-star review. We always want to be sure our guests have everything they may need. :)
The Rental was a perfect weekend getaway. The entire home was beautifully designed and so accommodating. Definitely a 5 star experience. We made wonderful memories. The Perks that were left for us to enjoy just put everything over the top.
Not only is the house fantastic, Amanda is the most thoughtful host. Virtually anything you need is already in the house. We love the country setting, the pool, the shuffleboard table, the fire pit (with s’more supplies!) and so much more.

Hi Rachel! Thank you for your repeat stays and kind review. We would love to have your group back anytime.
Beautiful property close to round top! We went with our 1 year old and another family and their 2 year old. The kids loved the pool and the open floor plan of the house made it easy to keep an eye on them. Amanda thought of everything stocking the house with toiletries, cooking supplies and smores kit. Adorable welcome gift. Nothing but positive things to say about the house. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Thank you, Sheri! You’re kind words are so appreciated. We look forward to having you gals back to stay & shop RoundTop!
We were so impressed from the moment we drove up, until the moment we walked in the beautiful house. Pictures didn’t do this place justice. Large kitchen and living space. Great back patio. Beautiful rooms and the master bedroom
And bath are spectacular! We want to come back in the spring. Thank you Amanda! What a sweet welcoming package!

Hi Diane - Thank you for your stay, kind words and 5-star review! We are so happy that you and your family enjoyed your special time. We would love to have you back!
This property was absolutely beautiful. Every room was immaculately clean, and well thought out. The owners did not miss a single detail in making this home the perfect place for a retreat. Every amenity was available, from coffee and tea in the morning to blankets and house shoes in the evening. The property is lovely and peaceful. It’s close to Round Top as well. I came here with my mom and aunt. We had a wonderful girls weekend! We will be back!

Thank you so much, Carmen for your stay and kind review. We hope you ladies can come back and see us soon!
We booked The Retreat for a short family get together and were looking for a ranch style home for my mother. This home exceeded our expectations. We loved all of the thoughtful touches that Amanda included, such as plenty of pool towels, paper goods, coffee, snacks, and toiletries. Small things make such a big difference! The house was very clean, pool was clean, and everything worked great. Communication with Amanda was easy, and it is apparent that she takes great pride in providing a wonderful guest experience. The Retreat was exactly what we were looking for and we had a great time.

Thank you for visiting our listing. We are a Christian-loving family that reside in Katy with our 2 young daughters. We fell in love with the easy commute, small town feels and fresh air in Washington County! My Mother has lots of good childhood memories of their time in Burton/Brenham growing up, and it has been enjoyable for us to offer the same to our family. Our hobbies include trying out different coffee shops, walking, golfing and being with our family & friends. Thank you for letting us share our special spot with you!
