Guest Access:

The Neighborhood:
Located in a rural area, the Cottage is located 1/2 mile to Round Top, though you will need a vehicle to drive into town (unless you're feeling super ambitious!). On the same property, about 200 feet away, is the Main House which may be rented to other guests during your stay. The nearest neighbor is across the fence, but the Cottage has plenty of space and nearby trees to make this feel like a secluded getaway!
Being a rural area, there are no sidewalks that connect the property to Round Top city limits.
Getting Around:
You'll need a vehicle to get from the home into Round Top and the surrounding area. Consider renting HOSTIE's chauffeured luxury sprinter van during your stay. Ride sharing apps, like Uber/Lyft, aren't available in this rural area.
