A Wonderful Stay
We came for the eclipse, and a relaxing weekend. The Monticello Cottage did not disappoint. The house and property are wonderful, with beautiful views off the front porch. The kids had a great time with the toys upstairs and trampoline while my wife and I relaxed on the porch. The property is less than 20 minutes from Pedernales Falls State Park where we spent a day hiking. Thanks for everything!

Nice get-away
We were there for a wedding in nearby Dripping Springs. Wanted a place for our family to stay besides the typical hotel rooms. Was nice to relax and have a LR and kitchen area. Two bdrms were on main level so didn't need the loft area but could have slept another couple up there

Nice little cottage
We had a great stay at the cottage. The special coffee mix they have is great to make and sit out on the porch with in the mornings and listen to the sounds of the surrounding hill country. Gas stove was great as was the gas fireplace and outdoor gas fire pit. Nicollete is a great host and responds quickly to communications.

I am a violinist, conductor and educator, as is my husband. We both love art, concerts, hiking, cycling, cooking, entertaining, traveling and spending time with our friends, children and grandchildren . I spend my life teaching the violin, viola and conducting youth chamber orchestras all over the world. Monticello Cottage is our haven.

Why they chose this property

We bought this land as it reminded us of the bushveld in South Africa, where we were born and raised.
