Just right!
Wonderful stay, clean and cozy property just right for three friends meeting in the middle to visit. We would stay here again, and loved seeing touches of the town in the house as we visited and saw the table was from the Amish furniture store. Also highly recommend the Shiner Coffee House! Thanks for a wonderful stay.

Nicely updated cottage
We were just visiting for one night, but we were impressed with the comfort and cleanliness of the cottage. It was in a quiet location (other than a few chickens), and it was walking distance to the steakhouse where we had an awesome chicken fried steak dinner. It was also very conveniently located to the brewery which has great BBQ and beer. My only wish would be to have a swing or rocker on the front porch, but that’s not a dealbreaker. We will definitely stay here again the next time we visit Shiner!

The little house was so cute. We had a wonderful time. Cynthia was very accommodating and the area is very quiet. The only thing I would say is there are not a lot of food places close by that one might normally be used to if from the city so be prepared for that. However, you have a perfect kitchen set up for that in the house!! Thanks Cynthia!! We enjoyed it. :)

Just What We Needed!
We took a 2 day road trip from Houston. This was a perfect place to stay. We loved the common area/shed! The kids played jenga and my wife and I drank a Shiner in the rocking chairs. The place does not have a stove or an oven, but does have grill. That was not a deal breaker. Bed and pillows were super comfy. It's a few blocks from restaurants, a donut place and the brewery! We will stay here again!
