Roundtop Get-Away
We really enjoyed our stay at Kalina’s Cottage. The location was perfect being in close proximity to the Roundtop Antique Show. The cottage was clean, beds were comfortable, farm was quiet. Would definitely stay here again.

Needs a lot of work
While the property was well located for our needs, it is not up to the usual VRBO standards. First, the furnishings were a hodge podge of old flea market type pieces, but not in a charming way. The ONLY television was at least 30 years old (an old box tv) and we were never able to get the Direct TV to work, despite the property manager coming in person to help. The yard is overgrown with weeds and has actual vines growing on the side of the house. There is no outdoor area to sit and enjoy the weather. Even worse, there was an old vehicle and a travel trailer (plugged in) adjacent to the house which was creepy to say the least. The only positives; beds were comfy and sheets and towels clean. The property manager was very responsive to the tv issue and apologized for the condition of the property. She really did her best.

Peace and Quiet
This is the perfect private, quiet, peaceful getaway for anyone needing to get away from the world's noise. Owners were quick to respond when I locked myself out, reassuring and calm. Gary, my guardian angel was there in 10 minutes to unlock the door. I will be visiting Kalina's Kottage again and again for those "no noise" weekends we all need!!

Wonderful spot, accommodations and host
Our stay was very nice and a good location in between Brenham and Round Top. The host was very responsive when I asked questions. The only negative was the water - I don't know what made it smell so bad, but it was pretty rough. Would not recommend for those with sensitive noses especially.

Great Quiet House -- perfect for Girls weekend
Great House, very quiet and secluded...the only draw back was dealing with Evolve, as I had to change my reservation dates and it was difficult contacting a real person -- got a lot of canned emails. I put this for awareness -- nothing against the property-- it was lovely and we will be booking again!

Clean and near Round Top
The house was perfect for our needs! We spent the weekend shopping at Round Top and it was clean, spacious, nearby the markets, and had plenty of towels and linens for us. Would definitely rent again the next time we go to Round Top!

Girls Weekend
The house was a great place to stay, comfy beds and nice kitchen. Pond was not truly visible from the back yard, high grassy area. The swings on the tree were old and moss growing on the rope. But overall the experience was nice and we would rent it for the weekend again.

A peaceful retreat in the country
This mid-century cottage is nicely furnished with period pieces. It is clean and comfy and the towels and bedding are of good quality, The tableware is quite adequate, but baking pans and other supplies are rather limited. It's located in the "middle of nowhere" and surrounded by farms, ranches, and wildlife. The nearest towns are quite interesting and reminiscent of another time.

Beautiful, quiet, relaxing property out in the country!
We actually ended up staying in the log cabin house on the same property. It was perfect for our needs. The house was clean & well furnished, beds were comfortable, plenty of fresh linens for our stay. We had several contacts with the owners, both on the phone & in person. They were super friendly & very accommodating! Perfect location for shopping & dining in Brenham, Carmine & Giddings. We will definitely be back!
