The cottage was lovely! The location was great for me and my husband as it was only 7 miles from my son’s apartment. It was nice to be close but away from all the hustle and bustle of CSTAT. We will definitely be back.

A cozy and comfortable home away from home! The house is decorated so adorably. It was clean, had everything we needed, was quiet and secluded yet close to town. The bed and pullout couches were very comfortable. If we ever find ourselves staying overnight in college station again we will definitely stay here.

Traci, we are so thrilled you thought our cottage was a great place to stay. Thank you for taking the time to leave such a kind 5-star review. You're spot on about the sleeping capacity – it's something I struggled with a lot. You've perfectly captured our dilemma: the cottage is really ideal for up to 4 adults when utilizing the sleeper sofa, but I also wanted to be a welcoming space for parents traveling with kids. We know how tricky it can be to find a place that fits a group of littles. I have considered changing the sleeping cap, because we are definitely not suited for 6 adults. We truly appreciate you staying with us and are so glad you had a wonderful time at Pondview Cottage. :)

The cottage was perfect for my husband and me for a weekend to see a game at TAMU. The space was nice. The bathroom was extremely well equipped. The bed was comfortable. Two couches were sufficient for 2 people to watch tv. The stars were much more visible from the patio than from where I live. We loved hearing the frogs and birds at night from the patio. We could not hear them from inside the cottage. We also could not hear the roosters from inside the cottage. There was no table where you could sit and eat. A card table that could be pulled out when needed would be adequate for two people to eat meals. Just know: There were no knives in the cottage except the table knives typically used for spreading butter, or cutting what's on your plate. There were 2 cutting boards, however. There was no salt and pepper or other things we typically see in a VRBO. This wasn't a big deal, but I would have preferred knowing ahead of time.The only bad part was easily fixable, and that was the fan blades needed dusting in both the bedroom and in the living room. They were so gross, I couldn't turn them on for fear that the grunge on them would spray all over us. If the fan blades were dusted, I would stay here again, and then I would be much more prepared.

About the host

Hosted by Christine Lawrence

Host profile image
Welcome! Our journey to becoming hosts in College Station is a story we love. We moved here from out of state, so that we could attend Texas A&M (Class of '18!). While we originally came for the university, we quickly fell in love with the warmth of community and the unique blend of peaceful country living and town energy.

We chose to make our home here and build "Paddison Estates" as a way to share the tranquility and charm we've come to cherish. For over two decades, our family has been dedicated to providing rental homes for long term tenants. More recently, we've been thrilled to branch out and channel that experience into creating this special retreat for travelers. We truly enjoy crafting beautiful, comfortable spaces and love having the opportunity to provide a welcoming getaway for fellow travelers, Aggie parents, and anyone looking to experience the best of the Brazos Valley.

Why they chose this property

What we adore most about our little corner of College Station is the wonderful sense of seclusion without the isolation. Our property is a quiet, wooded, 9-acre retreat where you can hear the birds, see the stars, and feel like you're miles away from it all. It's the perfect place to unwind and enjoy the peace of the countryside.

Yet, the best part is that all the excitement of College Station is just a short, easy drive away. We love being able to pop over to Kyle Field, visit the Texas A&M campus, or enjoy local restaurants in minutes. It truly is the best of both worlds, and we're so happy to share this peaceful-yet-convenient location with our guests.

What makes this property unique

Pondview Cottage is unique because it's more than just a rental—it's a private getaway on our family's 9-acre homestead. Guests have their own tranquil space with serene views of the pond and access to a private walking trail that winds through our wooded property.

What also makes it stand out is the friendly, community atmosphere. We, your hosts, live on the property, so while you have complete privacy in the cottage, we are nearby if you ever need anything. You may see us out for a stroll with our two gentle giant Newfoundlands, and you'll certainly hear the happy sounds of our chickens and geese, which adds to the homestead charm. It’s a unique blend of a private retreat with the warmth and security of having a helpful host right here at home.
