This little cabin was perfect for our couples getaway! It’s off the beaten path yet close to everything we wanted to do! The cabin was clean and cozy. Has everything you need if you want/need to cook. Bed was comfortable. Nice quiet relaxing spot! Will definitely be staying again on our next visit to NBTX.

Escape the City

We really enjoyed our stay. Far enough away from the tourists for a peaceful getaway, but close enough to drive to town when we wanted to. We never stayed in a tiny house but is was nice and cozy for my husband and I. We would definitely recommend it!

Above and beyond happy with our stay. Everyone is so kind, and friendly. The accommodations are perfect for your home away from home. I simply can’t say enough good things about our stay & their level of care. Peaceful, quiet, location that is still close to everything you need. Plenty of great walking areas for our dogs.

Lovely spot

We really enjoyed our stay. Candy was very friendly and helpful. The little house was very clean and comfortable and in a beautiful spot. We came for the eclipse and after getting a glimpse of that we really enjoyed sitting on the porch listening to the frogs and crickets.

Second stay

This is the second time we’ve stayed at this property for a few weeks. It’s ideal for us because it’s close to our daughter and it’s nice and quiet and we can see the stars. Candy and Larry are great hosts.

Perfect

We were so impressed by this property. It was clean, quiet and had everything we needed. The management was so nice and accommodating; even though it wasn't a requirement we had forgotten our crate & they provided one for our two little terriers. We will definitely be staying here again.

Wonderful tiny house!

I stayed for a week with my 2 boys. So much packed into a tiny place! We loved it. It’s in a pretty rural location away from everything which I loved. The house was clean. The beds were so comfortable. My boys slept better than they do at home. My 10 year old said it was his favorite place we’ve ever stayed. Both boys said they wanted to stay all summer, ha! There is no washer/dryer on the premises, which is clearly stated in the description. That’s the only thing that would make it better. I packed accordingly and it was not a problem! Candy is a very responsive host!! Really great experience. Loved it. Hope to be back again!

This is our second stay here. The hosts are the friendliest people you could ever meet. We had a few hiccups but they were there to help. The house was very clean from top to bottom and very comfortable. Kitchen area has just what you need while staying there and the bed was super comfy. We will be coming back next year!!!

Amazing spot to stay! The house was so cute, the perfect size. Love that they’re pet friendly! The owner was super helpful, fixed an alarm we heard outside within 20 minutes. They even had all the instructions for the house, access, and amenities readily accessible. It was a peaceful, fun stay. Would love to come again!
