About this property

Round Top bound? Find this Quiet Artist Cabin in the Woods w/ Park-Like Setting

A charming, lux cottage on 5 acres of beautiful old oak trees. You'll love the 9-foot-long chandelier (controlled with your voice over Google Home) over the wood table with velvet chair cushions for long leisurely meals. The large screened porch has great views of wildlife. There is interesting lighting throughout the property even the trees are lit at night.

A fully stocked chef's kitchen includes vintage colorful crockery bowls, a Cuisinart Fondue, a KitchenAid mixer, Great Jones pans, a professional waffle maker, real silverware, fabulous drinkware, stacks of paper, and fine dishes, etc.

You'll love the range of high-end appliances, knives, and goodies. Everything you'll need to create a quick or elegant meal is supplied. The kitchen is packed so you'll need to only bring your food and beverages.

A new outdoor kitchen includes a Blaze-all aluminum egg grill, stainless steel tables, a canopy over the area with an artistic picnic table, and a child-sized one, too. There's an electric smoker and a regular propane grill too so you can cook and eat BBQ like the pros!

The main bedroom (queen metal canopy) is called The Romper Room because of the exotic handmade linens, art, decorations, and happy colors. You will not be disappointed. The guest linens sheets and towels are all white and all new.

The 2 baths are split: 1. has a shower and sink 2. has a toilet and sink. So much easier for a crowd.

Steps away from the cottage is the well-air-conditioned trailer with elevated views of the trees. It has a queen bed with a metal canopy and velvet curtains you can close to keep the room dark for lazy mornings. A second bed is a full bed. There is also a velvet chair also converts to a bed for maximum guests. Extra linens are provided under the bed in case they are needed.

The location is VERY private! Dance naked in the moonlight or pick up ancient hand tool rocks and petrified wood scattered all over the ancient Indian grounds. An old creek rings the property so you are truly in nature.

All of the accent pillows and blankets are handmade to keep with the artistic theme. Bring the outside to lay under the stars!

It's a Google home so just tell Google to turn on the music or turn on the chandelier. Even "Turn the lights blue!" Enjoy colorful, holiday lights at night or turn off the lights to enjoy the dark and trees lit by solar lights. So pretty!

There is also a Wi-Fi Bose speaker to take on the porch and we have Starlink WiFi that is very fast! You will find books, dominos, cards, Uno, current magazines, and a frog pond!

A firepit with a ring of comfortable chairs and benches is great for adding cushions from the porch. You can actually watch the stars. You're only 2 miles to Lake Somerville! It's SO QUITE! Also, so many stars!

Birds and deer love it here and so will you. There is bird seed and deer corn to call in the critters.

The homeowner is a jewelry designer so you will also see her jewelry stars and artwork everywhere. This house is wonderful.

Real fossils and natural gem specimens make it interesting as they charge in the moonlight. They are inside the house and also ring the porch as a "discovery zone" for kids.

You will love the very private Little Star Ranch! Come stay a while and watch the stars!

Weekend trip
I brought my 3 teenage children for a 2 night stay. We enjoyed the property and nature.
Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2021

6/10 Okay

Description of property was deceptive as listed on VRBO. It never mentioned that the two bedrooms were not in the main house. The second bedroom was in a pod adjacent to the main house, with no bathroom. The pod had no heat that we could find, and it was freezing. To use the bathroom when sleeping in the pod, You had to go down stairs outside and walk to the main house, put in the code and enter the house to use the toilet. In the middle of the night, when you have to use the toilet, you need to get there fast!!! There also were not two bathrooms in the main house. One “bathroom” had a toilet and a sink, and the other a shower and a sink. To be a bathroom, it must have a toilet. The main house was so over decorated and had so many of the owners personal items that there was no room to place your own personal things. Even though the house had been cleaned, it felt dirty with so much stuff everywhere. It was an artist’s nightmare. I would not recommend this property. Will never stay here again. Marty B

Perfect for me and my boys
Excellent place for me and my boys to get away for the weekend. Easy access to the lake, cozy beds, and the kitchen had everything we needed for our stay! The host wanted up to feel at home, and we did! Thanks!

About the host

Hosted by Gay Isber McMillan

Host profile image
I'm a jewelry artist and painter. I decorated this with a passion of all things luxe and handmade. I wanted to create a place my grandchildren would always remember.

Come be happy surrounded by minerals, fossils, and crystals. It's about velvety fabrics, handmade pillows, braided rag rugs, and those beautiful trees!

Why they chose this property

Full of characters. 2 miles to Lake Somerville! The oak trees! The hills!

What makes this property unique

The trees! You see no neighbors! So quiet. The artist retreat is all about the experience of art. Run around naked and no one will care or know.
