My husband, dog, and I had a wonderful time staying at The Cottage for a long weekend away! It was just the quiet, peaceful stay we needed while still being just a 10 minute drive to historic downtown Bastrop for live music and dinner. Our dog loved running around the closed in fence with us and had fun exploring the little paths on the property. Highly recommend!

The property was in a very private setting, approximately 8 miles from the Bastrop CBD. The cottage was clean and cozy - the air conditioning worked phenomenally! Every amenity was thought of by the owners and the fenced in yard made it super easy for my dogs to come and go.
