weekend with girls

My two daughters (in their 20's) and I went for Round Top shopping weekend. The cottage is several miles away but the drive went quickly into town and the setting is beautiful. The hosts of the property were friendly and helpful. The cottage was clean and comfortable. We particularly enjoyed the firepit and roasting marshmallows one evening. This was a very comfortable and nice stay.

Trip to Round Top

I would highly recommend this tiny home, we had a fabulous stay! The house is well appointed, very comfortable and has everything you need. Its also surprisingly spacious and has a gorgeous outdoor porch and entertaining area, complete with a fire pit with beautiful outdoor lighting. The Hosts were extremely friendly and welcoming and had left snacks, assorted drinks in the fridge, ice creams in the freezer, tea and coffee. This tiny home is a real gem and very close to Round Top and all the fairs (Blue Hills, Marburgher, etc). I would highly recommend it for anyone coming to the area. We will definately be back. Thank You so much Jim and Jean, it was a real pleasure meeting you both.

About the host

Hosted by Jean & Jim

Host profile image
We are Jim & Jean, a loving couple who enjoys hosting and entertaining others. We welcome you to our property!

Why they chose this property

We've been on this 60+ acre property for almost 30 years now. We looked all over the countryside for the right place, and immediately knew this was the one when we drove down the long, tree-covered driveway. We built our dream house here (took 12 years, debt-free!) and eventually added 2 vrbo's on the property.

What makes this property unique

We wanted to host others and show them the comfort that the country brings. It's peaceful out here- no traffic, emergency vehicle and car noises. You hear birds, and can see deer most mornings.
