Sweet house on Main

I just visited Brenham for a twostay at the house on East Main. You can walk to all the shops and historic Brenham. I was provided with all the information I needed for a great get away for me. It appears to be recently updated and everything went perfectly. I would recommend this for a couple or 2 friends. The bathroom and two bedrooms are separated by the bathroom. Super clean.

Fun girl’s weekend

We rented this for a girls weekend and enjoyed it very much! It was clean and very comfortable for 4 of us. There’s not much of a view from the front porch but we were out shopping and eating most of the time. There’s a wonderful Italian restaurant across the street and it’s very close to all the downtown shops. Great rental!

Antiquing Weekend

This cottage was so charming, cozy and clean, it’s perfect set up. Perfect location for restaurants, stores and little towns all around Brenham. I want to make note if you read previous reviews about lack of coffee makers and coffee, host took care of it. They created a small coffee bar, create coffee anyway you like it, K-cups, pot of cofffee or instant.

Fun in Brenham

The house is great. There were some things left from the last visitors that made it seem the cleaning crew didn't do a good job. The coffee pot situation was not good. Overall my sister and I had fun and enjoyed our stay.
