For being within walking distance of everything you would want to do in Round Rock, this piece of heaven helps you easy forget how centrally located you are .This home is beautifully decorated, a bed that I wish I could take with me. And the eye for detail that is out of this world.

The cottage itself is very whimsy.Lots of beautiful stained glass All the colors and decor are welcoming. We called it home the three nights we stayed. The cottages is filled with things that will make you happy. I loved playing house and reading books and literature inside the cabin. The shower had the best pressure. The grounds are lit brightly at night with twinkling lights.We were in town for a volleyball tournament which the facility was only a short ride from Main St. I highly recommend this relaxing cottage.it would be great for a staycation too. Serenity at it’s finest.

A hidden GEM in the heart of Round Rock!

I can’t say enough great things about this charming cottage! From the moment we walked in, it was spotless—super clean and clearly well cared for, which made us feel right at home. The location is absolutely perfect—tucked away in a quiet spot, but just a short walk to downtown Round Rock and literally minutes from the beautiful Woodbine Mansion (which was perfect for a wedding weekend!).But hands down, the showstopper was the queen size bed—I’m not exaggerating when I say it might be the most comfortable bed on the planet. I slept like a dream every night and actually looked forward to crawling into bed (which never happens when I travel!).If you’re looking for a cozy, clean, and incredibly comfortable place near everything Round Rock has to offer, this is it. Can’t wait to come back!

This was the cutest little place we could have picked to stay. Me and my husband are locals and we're getting away for one night for our anniversary while my mother babysat our kids. This was the perfect pick!!!This cottage has so much character and history. It was beautiful inside and out. The location was amazing. We walked over to downtown Round Rock in the evening. It was gorgeous! The only complaint we had was that there was a lot of noise from Main Street specifically in the morning but the owner even had eye masks and ear plugs provided probably for that reason. We are already planning on staying again next year.And we felt so welcome. The personal touches were the kindest!Thank you Sara for a great stay!!!
