About this property
Walk to Everything Round Top | Historic & Charming | The Bybee @ Round Top Motel
The 1880's Bybee Cottage was purchased from the Bybee Foundation - an organization responsible for helping preserve German immigrant structures in Round Top. The cottage features a king bed, fully renovated bathroom with soaking tub/shower and preserved patina. The front porch includes a French bistro table and a great view of Round Top. Located in downtown Round Top and walking distance to some of our favorite local spots.
