Welcome!
Come
and experience a country setting where "nothing to do" is the
activity of choice. Located just outside the small community of Joppa,
total privacy awaits you upon your arrival. You can read a book from the
owner's collection of Texana or bring your own. Go for a walk, fish in
the river or pond, mountain bike the meandering country roads, watch the
deer feed in front of the cottage, or stargaze from the privacy of your
own hot tub.
Accommodations
The
guest house offers first class accommodations with a western flair. Southwestern
furnishings, including a handcrafted sassafras bed and numerous family
antiques accent the cottage. A cowhide rug sits at the foot of the queen
bed. In the bath is a claw foot tub and an old style pedestal sink. The
guest house also has a large living area with a stone fireplace and a
queen sleeper sofa. A private porch with two rocking chairs looks out
over an open pasture and the San Gabriel River.
What
We Offer
Wake
up each morning and enjoy breakfast in the privacy of your own room or
outside on the front porch. Hidden away in the country cupboard are homemade
pastries and gourmet coffee. The cottage also includes a full-size refrigerator,
coffeemaker, and microwave. The kitchen is fully equipped and has all
the necessary kitchen utensils for those who wish to cook. There is a
gas grill outside and a hot tub for those cold winter nights. The cabin
is also equipped with a CD/cassette/radio along with a TV/VCR and a small
collection of videos.
History
In
1991, an old Victorian home located in Burnet, Texas was moved to the
present location on the San Gabriel River and restored to its original
condition. Several years later, a guest house was added near the main
house to accommodate the many visitors to the ranch. The guest house has
now been converted into a quiet bed and breakfast retreat. The cottage
is the perfect sanctuary for those who prefer absolute privacy and seclusion.
We are located only 40 miles northwest of Austin near Bertram, Texas.
