We stayed at The Cottage on Main for my daughter’s wedding in Brenham….it was perfect! We enjoyed everything about the property. Lots of space and loved that we could walk across the street to Volare for dinner! Would have loved rockers on the porch as pictured but appreciated the chairs that were there. Only negative comment might be the condition of the yard but we absolutely loved staying there and would stay again!

Thank you so much for staying with us and for your kind review — we’re honored to have hosted you during such a special occasion for your family! We’re so glad you enjoyed the space and the location (Volare is a favorite of ours too). We appreciate the note on the porch seating and the yard. We’ve since made improvements to the landscaping, including bringing on a new crew to ensure the property is consistently well-maintained. Thank you again for choosing to stay with us — we’d love to host you again anytime you’re back in Brenham.

Room for improvements…yard was awful with knee high weeds. Back door lock not working was inconvenient since it was next to where you park. The alarm going off was scary. If we would have been told ahead of time that it does that then we wouldn’t have gotten scared. Or better yet, change the lock!

Thank you for your feedback — we appreciate you bringing these items to our attention. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced during your stay. Since then, we’ve made several improvements, including replacing the back door lock to ensure smooth and reliable access, addressing the alarm behavior so it no longer causes confusion, and bringing in a new landscaping crew to maintain the yard at a much higher standard. We’re always working to improve the guest experience and appreciate your input in helping us do so.
