We had a wonderful stay. Extremely charming cottage in a beautiful location. Delightful continental breakfast. Joan was a wonderful host. The only downside was that we weren’t able to stay longer!
My husband and I needed a weekend to unplug. We enjoyed the quiet surroundings and the antique/vintage vibe. We were still close enough to Bandera to go get dinner and hang out in town but far enough out that we felt secluded. Bonus for us were the longhorns that came up in the pasture to graze in the evening. We will absolutely stay again.
If you want to rest this is the place to go. It is beautiful, peaceful, and just far enough away from civilization to be able to think but close enough to go enjoy it also. Wonderful accommodations. Highly recommend.
Not every day you have longhorn cattle as your neighbors for a overnight stay. Great place to stay to experience rural Texas but with all the mod cons. Great bath. Highly recommend
My husband and I had a wonderful time. We had everything we needed and enjoyed the seclusion. The night sky was absolutely breathtaking. Would definitely recommend this cottage.
Beautiful property, peaceful and quiet. The cottage was very comfortable and lovely. Joan greeted and showed me where everything was in the cottage. She was warm and friendly and I really enjoyed visiting with her. I would definitely love to stay there again.
Very comfortable. Cute decor. Nice to have breakfast items (cereal, yogurt, muffins, juices) and a coffee maker. Located on a beautiful and peaceful ranch.
We enjoyed the stars, animals, peace and quiet. The bed was cozy and ac kept us cool! Breakfast and treats left for us were very sweet. The owners are very friendly and helpful. I would have liked a better separation from bedroom to the restroom but overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be back.
I stayed two nights and loved it. The property is gorgeous, and the cottage is charming and comfy. It was a very relaxing experience overall. Joan was warm and welcoming and readily available if needed. I liked that the property was close to the Hill Country State Natural Area, which was the purpose for my visit. I left my stay feeling recharged - I was a little sad to leave. I would definitely stay here again.
Cute little cottage in country setting with nice views, decorated well! Slept with the windows open and slept really well, very tranquil. We will come back.
Cute, cozy 1 bedroom/1 bathroom w/great claw foot tub.very peaceful, country setting. 3 long horns visited me in the backyard. A simple continental breakfast is provided & appreciated. Only things i could think that would make it better is a small microwave & some bottled water.
I give 4.5 rating on Sophie's Cottage. We knew going in that the cottage was small and cozy. It was very cute and charming and had everything we needed. My husband was disappointed that he had to take a tub bath and not a shower. To make this a 5 star rating here is what I would improve upon:
1. Trim the hedges and shrubs near door of cottage. The rose bush was creeping in with thorns! The outdoor furniture was not as in picture and not usable! The cushions could be replaced and one chair did not have a place to sit on. The coffee was stale and old and the condiments was hardened. {Glad that I brought my own] The information said water would be supplied in the mini refrigerator. We had plenty of juices but no water. There needs to be a softer cushion in the one chair that my husband used. He was not comfortable in it. With those changes, It would definitely be a 5 star.
This is a tiny cottage on a piece of property nestled in the hills. Is is a lovely drive out, very rural.
The cottage is a tiny place, but the price is right. If you are a fan of the Hilton this might be a shock but it is clean, nice linens and just what you need (except for a microwave or tea kettle). Very much what you might find in Normandy France.
My husband and I enjoyed our stay immensely. We loved being out away from the business of the city and the beautiful starry sky. The host was a sweetheart and chatted with us about the property and animals. We were able to disconnect from our cell phones and just enjoy each other. 5 stars!
