Cute and charming sums it up.

My wife loved all of the antiques and furnishings. The cottage provides surprising amount of space with two separate indoor living areas with plenty of seating for all. (Big plus). In addition there is lots of seating/living space outside! Close to town but not a lot of traffic. Systems heat/cool, showers all worked great. Check-in/out was seamless. Was there for 6 days. Great stay - would not hesitate to stay there again.

The house was adorable, well kept, and charming. With ample outdoor space, multiple sitting areas and great porches. The bonus was the carport and long private drive for parking. Loved the great central heat and hot water. The greenhouse out the master bath window was such a beautiful amenity. Loved our stay.

Loved the vintage charm of this home. Just off the Main Street. Walkable for some but a quick drive for those who don’t want to walk. Comfortable beds. Loved the clawfoot tub. Loved the 2 living areas. Gazebo is great for morning coffee❤️

Super Charming Home

A really beautiful home overflowing with charm. Had just about everything you need to make it a comfy stay. The beds/couches were extremely comfy, soft, and clean, and the bathrooms were also very clean and well stocked. We had a small pet and he enjoyed the yard and quietness of the house. The location is walkable to Main street, but the touristy area is a very long walk so it was much easier to drive there. The neighbors were slightly noisy, but not enough to be an issue and you can't hear them inside the house at all. Also, the back neighbor (not the noisy one) flies a good-sized confederate flag. It's mostly obscured by trees and a good distance away. Check In and Check Out were hassle free, which is always appreciated.

My cousin and I thoroughly enjoyed our girls’ weekend. Beds were comfy with nice sheets. We had an issue with the TV and the property manager came out in the cold and dark and fixed it for us. She even built us a fire while she was there. Would stay there again. Thanks!

Lots of space, comfy beds. Two full bedrooms and bathrooms was very nice to have. Process was easy start to finish. We weren’t there much but it has enough space to really enjoy with friends/family if you wanted a longer stay. Middle of summer in Texas and the temperature inside was very comfortable and didn’t seem to fluctuate.

Nice quiet stay in a great location

The house was offset from the Main Street, giving us a quiet stay, but in walking distance to the downtown restaurants. We walked into town every day, it was fantastic. Would stay there again.

The property was great. Everything was within super short driving distance. Would have walked it, but there was a small section that was out of the busy part of town which made us nervous since it was just 2 ladies. But it wasclose enough to walk to everything in town.

Cousins Trip

This property is so well kept, clean, comfortable and met our needs perfectly. It is located off Main Street and several blocks away from downtown. So you’ll need to drive and park when shopping. The neighborhood is quaint and quiet. Outside is very picturesque and has several different sitting areas. We enjoyed our stay immensely and would definitely stay there again.

Friendly feedback

Hello! We had an amazing stay at the Butterfly Cottage. We were comfortable and the property decor was outstanding. Our rooms were comfortable & the accommodations were fantastic. We’d like to give a little constructive criticism which would’ve made our stay 100%: 1. The coffee maker was broken and the initial pot took around 2.5 hours to brew. We found 2 more coffee makers in the cabinets and only one of them worked (and it was the small 4 cup one that worked, unfortunately). 2. The toilets were incredibly low and small!! We barely fit on the seat & with every ‘sit’, it took a lot of effort to stand. We are tall people. That is all! Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!
