Get away from it all and immerse yourself in nature from the comfort of a distinctive modernist home, where floor-to-ceiling windows and soaring ceilings bring the outdoors in, affording endless views across the rolling landscape of fields, woodlands, and wildlife. Greet sunrise from the expansive bedroom with two luxe queen-sized tempurpedic beds, one with massage functions. Unwind in the spa-like ambiance, with two bathrooms separated by a unique, open double shower featuring multiple jets and hand-held shower heads. Luxuriate alone or with your partner in the deep, two-person tub with jets. Enjoy meals at the large handmade table in the spacious, open-plan kitchen/dining/living room. Begin your day with eggs fresh from the chicken coop. The chef’s kitchen is fully equipped and generously provisioned with beyond-basic cooking essentials. A large, cushy sectional sofa beckons for reading and conversation, but don’t feel surprised if you fall into a dreamy nap. Or kick back on the deck, shaded by live oaks. Count the variety of birds flying by or stopping at the feeders. The resident deer tends to wander by every afternoon; you can feed her by hand if you like. While most guests come to unwind, unplug, and recharge, the library does have a television set with access to the internet through your phone, numerous vintage dvds and cds, and a fabulous collection of books. We have no internet. Hidden Gem encompasses 30 acres. Explore the rolling landscape on rustic trails mowed through woods and fields, along streams and ponds. Marvel at the architectural follies and large-scale sculptures strewn across the land. Stroll through our extensive gardens. There are four private homes spread across on the property, each with their own acreage. Your guesthouse is set away from the others in a private glade. You’ll be left to enjoy your own space, but your hosts will be on call should you need assistance with anything. Hidden Gem is the perfect place to put away your devices, disconnect, and recharge your mind. Cell phone and internet access is very weak to non-existent at the guest house. The nearest town, historic Navasota, is about 8 miles away; there you’ll find a supermarket, several restaurants, and some shops. The larger town of Brenham—Washington’s county seat—has more stores and restaurants. Texas A&M in College Station is 23 miles away. The antique wonderland of Round Top is only 43 miles away. Also nearby is Santa's Wonderland (22 miles) and the Texas Renaissance Festival (29 miles). We are dog-friendly; feel free to bring your house-trained dog to stay with you. Please protect our wildlife.There’s also a large, shaded pen so Fido can safely enjoy being outdoors. Several large, friendly dogs live here, and you might cross paths with them as you explore the property. ## Property amenities ### Parking and transport - Wheelchair-accessible parking and van parking available ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Jetted bathtub - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Music library - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair - Printer ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming cats and dogs only - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - 3 accessible parking spaces - Front entrance ramp - In-room accessibility - No lift (single-level property) - Single level property - Smooth flooring in public areas - Thin carpet in public areas - Well-lit path to entrance - Wheelchair-accessible parking - Wheelchair-accessible path of travel - Wheelchair-accessible van parking - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Change of bedsheets (on request) - Change of towels on request - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a hospital ### Things to do - Kayak - Birdwatching nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Theme park nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Bed sheets changed on request - Cleaning products are eco-friendly - Composting - Double-glazed windows - Garden - Recycling - Towels (changed on request) - Unit size: 2,800 square feet ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/50000000/49110000/49108800/49108794/03e2c8ef.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### A&M Country Living little sunset College Station - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 47 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-15&endDate=2025-10-16&selected=49108794&PinnedHotelID=49108794&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior detail](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/108000000/107920000/107910300/107910298/0f9724c4.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Charming recently renovated bungalow in historic downtown Navasota with WiFi, AC Navasota - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-15&endDate=2025-10-16&selected=107910298&PinnedHotelID=107910298&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/102000000/101340000/101332600/101332514/94283ce5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Birthplace of Texas home with wood-burning firepit, porch, & private W/D Washington - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.6 Exceptional 4 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-15&endDate=2025-10-16&selected=101332514&PinnedHotelID=101332514&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/91000000/91000000/90990300/90990205/a20d4b54.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Private Cabin in the woods with Hot Tub in Aggieland 5 minutes -College Station Navasota - Hot tub - Kitchen - Free WiFi - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 56 reviews £135 includes taxes & fees 8 Oct - 9 Oct [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-08&endDate=2025-10-09&selected=90990205&PinnedHotelID=90990205&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/58000000/57230000/57225800/57225772/27f1c96d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Mustang Creek Hideaway | Hot Tub | Fire Pit | Outdoor Shower Washington - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 68 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-15&endDate=2025-10-16&selected=57225772&PinnedHotelID=57225772&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV, fireplace](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/97000000/96390000/96387300/96387218/793db319.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Ranch house in historic Washington, Texas.
