About this property

Romantic Historic Circa 1900 Farmhouse With Pond & Porch - 8 Miles to Brenham

  • Welcome to The Cottage at Chappell Hill. Some places are just places to sleep. This Victorian cottage farmhouse is something else entirely - stained glass, gingerbread trim, antiques with stories to tell. Sip coffee or wine on the expansive deck perched above a tranquil pond as birds serenade, deer prance at dusk, and fireflies light up the night. Known as the "Healing House" for decades, you'll feel it the moment you arrive. Only 1/2 mile from Chappell Hill's shops and diners. The perfect romantic retreat.

    The Cottage is old-world European charm wrapped around modern comfort — the kind of place that reminds you why you love to travel in the first place.

    The Cottage faces Main Street in the tiny, Hallmark-type town of Chappell Hill (population 300) — tucked away enough to exhale, close enough to everything worth doing. Guests have full private access to the entire 800 SF cottage, two porches, and fenced yard. The cottage sits on 0.60 acre, which you'll have all to yourself. No shared spaces or hovering owners here.

    Modern Touches: Blazing fast Starlink Wi-Fi · Vegan toiletries · Organic linens · Phone charging station · Eye masks · Remote fireplace · Streaming TVs + DVD · Door code entry. Room details and amenities are captured in the photos — take a peek!

    Historic Charm: Original shiplap walls · Victorian sash windows · Gingerbread trim · Oil Painting · Pressed tin ceiling · stained glass front door handcrafted in England · A German "Willkommen" sign welcomes you at the entrance — a nod to the original owner who built this cottage in the final year of the 19th century. German heritage is deeply woven into the fabric of this home and this small town. My German ancestors settled in this county in the 1800s and are buried in Brenham. I love sharing the cottage with others so they can create new memories, experience the beauty, explore the sites, and learn about the local history.

    THINGS TO DO: There are so many sweet treats and adventures that await you...

    Within 1/2 mile:
    Beaver's Kitchen for breakfast and lunch — order the lemon berry pie. Grapevine on Main for live music and dinner. Carol's Bar for a nightcap with locals. Plus stroll the cute, unique shops. Explore the Chappell Hill Museum, the Circulating Library, and Texas' oldest bank still in its original location after 115+ years. Texas Star Winery is just across the creek behind the cottage — best reached by car.

    Within 10 miles:
    Blue Bell Creamery · Chappell Hill Lavender Farm · Chapelton Vineyards · Brazos Valley Brewery · Truth BBQ · LJ's BBQ · Chappell Hill Sausage Co. · Barnhill Center Theatre · Firemen's Museum · Antiques galore · Bird Trails · Bike trails · Music fans: Drake's ranch is 5 miles up the farm road

    Within 20 miles:
    Washington-on-the-Brazos State Historic Site · Antique Rose Emporium · Saddlehorn Winery · Windy Winery · Circle P Antiques & Collectibles

Cottage was very clean, with great attention to details. I’ve never stayed anywhere where the owner has thought of just about anything you could possibly need. The bed is comfortable, with incredibly soft sheets. Kitchen is well equipped. Decor is very quaint, and the front porch is very inviting.

The house is wonderful. If you like old houses or antiques you will love this. It is small, so I would not recommend it for more than a couple. We stayed here for our honeymoon and loved the quiet area and that it was not in town but close enough to Brenham for convenience. The house is very clean and well stocked with linens, cooking utensils, basic pantry items. The fosge is small though, so if you want to cook you may need to grocery shop frequently. Loved it so much that my mom and I want to come stay again and go antique shopping.

Little Yellow House

This house was not so little! Incredible location, right in town, loved the bikes and rode them to breweries and when I woke in the morning I went for a nice bike ride around town - lovely! I highly recommend staying here.

Well appointed little cottage

This was a terrific little get away spot! It felt like I was a world away from hectic everyday life, but really was just about 30 minutes from my home in Cypress. The rental is well done with lots of little details that helped me feel at home. Check in and check out were super easy! This was a perfect location for me to get away for a day or two.

Perfect place for weekend getaway!

We booked this nice little home in Chapel Hill for the weekend to attend the George Strait concert at Kyle field. It was the perfect place, not too far to drive to College Station and far enough to be out of the crowded city. If that's what you like, then this is the place. There are a couple nice restaurants just a mile or so from the house and the food was great. Rechelle, the host, was very friendly and communicated everything we needed to know well ahead of our arrival. We had a very pleasant experience. Thank you Rechelle!

Quaint Cozy Cottage

This was our second stay. We've fallen in love with this place. There is something magical and peacefilled here. My favorite is sitting on the deck or porch having delicious coffee provided and reading a book early morning listening to the birds. Occasionally we see deer. Our dog loves the yard, porch and deck as well. It has all the amenities needed and much more. The location was great for our needs. The owner is quick to respond and very pleasant to work with. We hope to return.

Love this place!

2nd time staying in 4 months. The property is just perfect for our needs and the host is so nice. The refrigerator is a little small but wasn't an issue for us especially with 2 good places to eat right down the road. This is a truly dog-friendly place and our pup enjoyed the fenced in front yard.

Perfect for our decompress trip

It's such a charming cottage and was perfect for us to just get away and chill. Very nicely furnished and decorated. The sofa and bed were quite comfy, something u don't always get. Washer/Dryer helped us pack fewer clothes. Owner was great, very communicative, accommodating and helpful with food suggestions. We loved the porch and spent every morning and evening there. Would 100% return.

December Stay

The property was a quaint little cottage that was decorated with an antique feel. Everything was as advertised and when our stay in early November has to be rescheduled due to multiple emergencies, the host quickly responded to my request to reschedule for December. The only issue was the house was a bit drafty during the cold temperatures. I would definitely recommend a friend to stay here.

The perfect weekend!

We loved this cottage in cute & charming Chappell Hill. Our dogs loved the yard and the porch, and we did too. All of the amenities were awesome and the bed was so comfy. We really loved our stay in this very clean and comfy weekend getaway. Shopping and stores in Brenham are close by but far enough to feel like you're in the country - which you are! Being there during bluebonnet season was also a plus. :) We hope to return!

Perfect retreat from the city

This cabin will take you back in time. Everything about the cabin and property was beautiful. It is located so close to the historic downtown and only a two hour drive from our home in Houston. The perfect getaway! We took our dog and he loved the grounds and we didn’t have to worry about anything because the yard is perfectly secure with a fence. The home had everything and I mean everything you could possibly need. They have definitely thought of everything when putting this place together for renting. The host was very nice and great communication. We will definitely be back.

Charming Cozy Country Cottage

We were so impressed by this very charming Texas cottage. It is decorated so adorably cozy. Everywhere you turn it is filled with well thought out detail and amenities to make our stay comfortable. We loved sitting on the porch watching our dogs play in the fenced yard. I loved sitting on the deck early morning listening to the birds, watching for deer and having a cup of coffee or tea from the exceptionally well stocked adorable country kitchen. At night with the tiny twinkling lights in the yard and on the house it feels magical and romantic sitting on the porch. The host was always quick and pleasant to respond to my questions. It was a great location for us as we visited friends who live between Brenham and Bellville. Washington on the Brazos is just down the country road. Chappell Hill has some quaint shops, historic churches and nice restaurants. We travel often, have stayed in a variety of places, and must say we thoroughly enjoyed this cottage and would love to go back someday!
