Wildflower getaway
Nice quiet cabin in the country. Loved the wraparound porch, view of wildflowers and Henry the goose. The cabin has comfortable furniture and is nicely decorated. Linda was great, we had her over for coffee and a visit. The porch swing after a day of touring was wonderful. We’ll be back for sure!

We have such a relaxing weekend. We enjoyed the cabin, fishing and sitting on the porch watching the sunsets. Definitely in the country just the way we like it!! But antique shopping is nearby in Carmine, Round Top and Brenham has some wonderful shops and things to see. Good barbecue at Truths BBQ near Brenham. We would definitely stay here again!

Perfectly peaceful!
Peaceful property away from it all. Just what we needed. The cottage is adorable and exactly as pictured. Plenty of towels, dishes and other supplies. The toiletries were very appreciated (as we forgot ours!). Owner’s son was super responsive and helpful. Highly recommend the rocking horse retreat if you’re looking to get away from it all.

We loved the cabin and the area. We were able to relax in the porche, the kids had space to run, see wild flowers and birds, we went fishing and rode our bikes around Lake Somerville and the host answered our questions in a very timely manner. Recommended.
