I think what impressed me most was how comfortable I felt in the living/sleeping area of this space during my three night stay. The kitchen and bathroom areas were also very good, and the location in Johnson City was just right. I definitely hope to return.

Wonderful, comfortable small cottage. The owner is great. Highly recommended.
Great location and cute place. Really needed a place in the bathroom to place items when getting dressed so they would not get wet. Also it would have been nice to have more than one hand towel and two wash rags for a three night stay for two people.

My sister and I visit the hill country about once every two or three months. We are one club members and come to pick up shipments. We happened upon Kara’s cottage a couple of times ago and found it very comfortable and just what we needed.

The carpets had sticker burs on them and the coffee pot had not been cleaned. The bathroom stayed very warm and I prefer to not have have AC window units. The setup for relaxing and watching movies was conducive and therefore not as relaxing as we hoped. With two people in the full size bed it was very difficult for that second person to crawl out of the bed. The interior door knob came off the first time we touched it but we managed to repair it so that we could lock the unit up that night before bed. The amenities and thought put into the place is lacking but it meets the essential needs.
