Great, fun historic building on beautiful property

My husband says it's the "coolest" place we've ever stayed. The view of the pond and countryside was beautiful and the peace and quiet was very refreshing.

Unique stay

Amazing unique property full of history set in lovely scenery. Cheryl couldn’t have done more as a host and we highly recommend a stay if you are in the area. We couldn’t have had a better first experience of Texas.

Peaceful retreat

I loved the rustic cabin. It was a calming peaceful place to stay, out on a ranch with all the wildlife and cows ant stars. A wonderful host making sure everything was good and always available for needs or information.

Great getaway

Me and my sister stayed here while we were going to round top to shop. It’s a great location and a place to rest and relax. We’re able to get away from all the craziness at round top and relax and enjoy yourselves on the beautiful back porch with a great view. We will be back again for sure

Perfect birthday with my best friend

The beer joint is exactly what we were looking for too celebrate my birthday. Every inch is decorated with care and thoughtfulness and the hostess went out of her way to make us feel welcome and at home. We’ve always booked our next stay!

Peace, quiet, nature, and BlueBonnets

Perfect place for us to get a little R&R. In the area for one day of work and found the perfect spot to relax. The Beer Joint was a great fit for us- quiet, sunrise on one side of the porch, sunset on the other and a place to fish in front. The Browns were the best hosts, very responsive to our questions and needs.

Girls Trip

Best friends coming into town for the Round Top sale. This was our second time to stay in The Beer Joint and it was amazing as always! Big enough for us to haul all of our goodies in each day and a beautiful view with our coffee on the porch each morning. Cheryl and Mark are top notch hosts!! We will definitely be back!!

Very peaceful

We had a very nice stay at The Beer Joint. The hosts supply everything you need. Started each morning with coffee and sitting on the porch, and ended the day with a cocktail and sitting on the porch. Do wish there was a couch, but it is exactly as pictured and described. Would definitely stay there again.

Tranquil and Unique

The porch was a perfect setting for the long talks between two dear old friends! The ranch is so peaceful and relaxing. The wildflowers were gorgeous and the fresh fragrances of Spring were invigorating! It’s exactly what the doctor ordered!

My daughter and I stayed at the Beer Joint for the Round Top fall shopping weekend. Cheryl was super responsive and the place was absolutely adorable! The decor was so cute!! . I especially loved the Elvis touches! Everything we needed was available to us. Cheryl thought of everything. The porch views were so peaceful to have coffee and plan our day shopping & had morning visits from a hummingbird.. only suggestion would be more comfortable mattresses. Maybe add a foam topper to help. But everything else was just great!

Beautiful landscapae

Enjoyed the weekend at the Beer Joint. Clean, comfortable, festively decorated for fall during our stay. Peaceful porch swing w/nice landscape, birds, deer, sunrise/sets. House has lots to look at and appreciate + books, magazines, games and movies -- and any toiletries you could think of you might have forgot to bring. I felt like someone hit a stress reset button after my stay here, and would return again when in the area.... or even when I'm not.

Uniquely memorable

For three nights we enjoyed the uniqueness of our rental. After our days spent in Round Top antiquing, we would play the jukebox and sit on the front porch gazing at the stars. It had all the amenities we needed and Cheryl even brought us fresh muffins in the morning. Such love and care has been put into every detail. Right down to the heart shaped stone placed on the hand towels in the restroom. We truly hated to leave.

Best friends trip 2022

The Beer Joint was amazing!! When we drove into the ranch we felt safe as the coded gate closed behind us. It was so peaceful and beautiful there! The house was stocked with anything we needed! Cheryl thought of EVERYTHING and was such a GREAT host!! The decor was so fun and made for some fun bestie pictures as well!! The view from the front porch was awesome and we watched a young buck circle the pond our first morning as the sun came up! We were so comfortable and “at home” here and we didn’t want to leave!! Thank you so much Cheryl! You are the best and The Beer Joint is on our favorites list for sure!! Thelma (Becky) and Louise (Deana)
