Charming Cottage - Central Location for Johnson City

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the property. The rental is centrally located in Johnson City and there are numerous bars, restaurants and historic sites/museums within walking distance. Johnson City is a small town but is a great home base for all of the wonderful activities that TX Hill Country has to offer.

Lovely Place

A lovely old home and was nice to spend the night at. Loved learning the history of the home as well. We went to Bryans on 290 for dinner and it was in walking distance from this home.

Wow! Gorgeous home. Reminded me of my grandma's house. All the comforts of home; cozy. Relatively quiet for being close to 290. Perfect getaway with the hubby. Hiked Pedernales Falls, enjoyed a hotdog from Fat Boy burgers, went back to the house and listened to music on the turntable. PERFECT!!

Cute historic home

We enjoyed all of the historical memorabilia in the home. It was cold and rainy and the house was very warm and cosy. Bed is more of a queen size than a king.

Charming, historical home in great location!

This home was perfect for an overnight stay in Johnson City. My mom and I were celebrating her 70th birthday and wanted a convenient location to the restaurants and shopping. This was right in the heart of downtown Johnson city and walking distance from the restaurants and shops we wanted to check out. Very charming and loved the historical aspect to it. Wilma was very responsive and was also flexible when our first date didn't work out due to severe storms. Really appreciate how accommodating she was throughout the process! :)

Disappointed

The house is so cute and in a great location, just seemed neglected and could use some updating. The yard was not mowed, trash bins were stuffed full, could not enjoy the outdoor spaces for the overgrowth. Beds were comfortable.

Quaint home, walking distance to Main St

We came to see the Johnson City Lights for the holidays and had a great time! We were able to easily walk from the house to the lights, and the kids loved it. The house was cozy & we loved all the Johnson family memorabilia. My kids (7 & 10) thought the sunroom and record player were really cool. It is pet friendly, and we brought our dog. The yard was not enclosed, so we kept him on a leash. Hoping to come back next time when we can explore a little more on Main Street & spend some time at the Science Mill!

Memorial Service

Came for memorial service of friend. House is old, but historic, apparently part of LBJ’s immediate family. Convenient to 281 and things in Johnson City. No dishwasher, but we knew that going in so we brought disposable dishes and cutlery. Be aware that pic of kitchen shows a Mr. Coffee but had a Kuerig. Coffee isn’t provided so plan accordingly. Bring ice, as well, no ice trays. It’s dog friendly and worked well for us with our puppy dog. I suggested to owner she provide written instructions for operating TV. It’s FUBO or something, but we weren’t familiar with how to use it. Just got lucky!
