We had an excellent experience at the adorable Barby Haus. The layout of two cozy decorated bedrooms, two baths was perfect, allowing for privacy for three adults. All amenities provided. Convenient between Brenham and Bellville for visiting our friends, sightseeing and shopping. Walked over to the Kenney Store for great music and food. We enjoyed peaceful morning coffee on the porch to start the day and the late afternoon sunset breeze listening and watching a variety of birds and enjoying a yard full of cottage flowers. We definitely enjoyed our stay and would recommend.

Only spent one night here while in town for a wedding in Chappell Hill and found the home to be very clean, home temperature was easily controlled and comfortable, plenty of pillows and blankets, towels, beds were comfortable, and the decorating was on point. Communication was excellent with the host, responded to messages very quickly and offered to help if we needed anything. Only downside was the house is located very close to the train tracks and the train went through frequently, not so great, especially if you are one who cannot easily go back to sleep once awakened.

The Barby Haus was super cute and so clean. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking and the coffee bar was a treat! It was such a cozy spot to return to after a day of shopping at Round Top. The house was an added perk to our trip to Warrenton each day. Only took us about 20 minutes to get to shopping!

The train tracks being so close is very unfortunate. Not something you might expect to be included in the listing as I'm sure it would immediately be a negative for many potential visitors, but it was an unhappy surprise. The house is lovely, but there are too many knick-knacks on the counters and furniture for my taste. I would have liked having more space to work in the kitchen and put my things in the master bedroom. Otherwise, all of the amenities were very nice. No dishwasher, so keep that in mind if you don't like washing dishes and you plan to cook meals.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the house and the amenities, and I appreciate your kind words about the space. I’m sorry that the proximity of the train tracks came as a surprise; and I’ll take another look to be sure this is as clear as possible. I also appreciate your note about the décor and counter space. Everyone has different preferences, and your perspective helps me continue improving the experience for future visitors. Thank you as well for pointing out the lack of a dishwasher — that’s something I always want guests to be aware of before booking. I truly appreciate your stay and your thoughtful comments. Wishing you all the best in your future travels. Sincerely, Cleide Aitken
