The large kitchen was wonderful for cooking. And the pool was enjoyable. This is an ideal place to stay in Round Top if you have a large group. ##### julie s.

Plus, having one room with direct access to the living area. Perfect for my sister who is 88 and legally blind. I didn’t have to worry about her negotiating the exterior door thresholds on her own to exit the bedroom. Thank you. ##### Aldon B.

We absolutely loved our stay at this property and our group is already thinking about how and when we can come back. The house was perfect for our girls weekend—lots of space to hang out together, a fabulous pool, and everyone got their own bed. Hostie also went above and beyond to make sure our stay was enjoyable. I highly recommend staying at a Hostie property for your next getaway! ##### Macie H. Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Charles L.

The bedroom configuration was a little strange, and probably more for multi family, and the oven wasn’t working (which property management immediately offered to send us a pizza). Overall, a great stay and would stay there again. ##### Charles L. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Donna R. Apr 18, 2025 ##### Donna R.
