Thank you for such a lovely review. We’re so glad the cottage felt peaceful and comfortable. It was a pleasure hosting you in Georgetown, and we hope to welcome you back again sometime.
Cheryl was a great host!!! The property was wonderful and very clean. Having our son at SU for 4 years prior we stayed at many homes around the area, and I have to say this one is one of the best places that we have stayed! There were many personal touches that made it comfortable. We will definitely make sure to rent this place again in the future!

This place is truly exceptional, as are the hosts. The amenities are endless. Maybe the best part is the ease of checkout - just lockup and leave! Thank you for a perfect experience.
Our stay was perfect. The host was very accommodating and the attention to detail was excellent. There was something for everyone and more than enough space for us all to feel right at home. We were spoiled and the personal touches were the icing on the cake. Book this property ASAP!

I was concerned about the beds with a bad back however the mattresses exceeded our expectations in comfort & quality. Communication with the owner is spot on.Our son lives in Georgetown we will definitely be back

Cheryl was a great host, she was attentive and communicative. The house was clean and comfy anything you would need for a weekend or week long getaway. She also welcomed us with a nice handwritten note and snacks and drinks to enjoy during our stay. Would highly recommend anyone for their stay in Georgetown.

We were so happy to host your family last weekend! You were wonderful guests and we're happy to have you stay again any time!
The house is absolutely beautiful and has everything you could possibly need. I love that each bedroom had sound machines. The host left lots of little extras such as Topo Chico, different flavor coffee syrups, extra toiletries in case you forget anything and a lovely outdoor area. I wish we were staying longer. Communicate was fabulous and our house was ready early so we could check in at 1pm. Beds were amazingly comfortable too. Area very quiet bit close to downtown. Definitely highly recommended.

Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m so glad you enjoyed the home and had a comfortable, relaxing stay, from the beds to the little extras around the house. It’s wonderful to hear those details helped make your time here feel easy and enjoyable.
I’m especially glad the early check-in worked out well for you. We’d love to have you back anytime, hopefully for a longer stay next time!
This house is a gem, and so are the hosts! I have stayed in a lot of short term rentals, and this home is by far the most well-stocked, beatifully curated, with the most thoughtful hosts we have ever encountered. Every room has amenities that are intentional and anticipated. If we forgot it, they already had it ready. Labels are throughout to make finding what you need effortless. We were surprised with each discovery, but by the end of the first night, we would all say, "Thanks, Cheryl!" They truly thought of EVERYTHING! Hostess with the mostest! We will absolutely be back and are already planning for next time.

I’m so glad the home felt well-prepared and that all the little details made your stay easier and more enjoyable. Hearing that you were discovering things along the way (and saying “Thanks, Cheryl!”) is the best kind of feedback.
It was truly a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to have you back--hopefully very soon!
About the host
Hosted by Cheryl
Originally from San Antonio, Texas, I moved around a lot as a kid. Eventually, I settled in North Carolina but managed to find my way back to Texas about a decade ago. Through that process, I've learned how to make spaces matter and how to make them feel like home. I love hosting people in our family's home, so this feels like a natural extension to that.
Why they chose this property
When we first started looking to buy a home, we fell in LOVE with downtown Georgetown. It felt a lot like the homes I loved back in North Carolina - older, unique homes with charm that you can't find with newer homes. We are so excited to finally have an opportunity to own a home downtown. It's a great, active neighborhood and we love being there!
What makes this property unique
We live nearby and put real care into every detail of the cottage, from the organic bedding to the custom blended tea hiding somewhere in the kitchen. We hope the cottage feels less like a rental and more like the home of a friend who thought of everything. Come in. Slow down.
