Our experience renting this cottage could not have been any better! The owners are the absolute sweetest, and they respond to Vrbo messages so fast! They truly care that your stay and experience are the best they can be - they even gave us all the materials to make smores!! The property and cottage are so beautiful, peaceful, and quiet! The property has anything you could ever want with a fireplace, bicycles, fully stocked kitchen cabinets, blankets, outdoor furniture, and so much more! I highly recommend this place!!!

We can’t wait to book another stay at this precious cottage!! We had a baseball tournament in Drippings Springs and didn’t have a lot of time to enjoy the beautiful, peaceful property but plan to return when we have more free time. It was a magical place! Absolutely perfect!

Everything we needed was here! Only suggestions are: please add grab bar or twoto bath and shower - since water is so wonderfully soft, soapy skin adds to slippery conditions; secure dishwasher to wall; and, add easier steps or railings to entrance onto porch from parking areas.

Best place to stay if looking for quiet, serene place that’s close enough to town to get groceries and shop. The owners did a perfect job of creating a wonderful space to relax and enjoy a Texas get away. All accommodations were well appointed and not to cluttered. Pet friendly with a good place to walk dogs and get great exercise walking the hills. We will definitely stay again.

We had an amazing stay at Monticello Cottage during the holidays. It was decorated beautifully and had the perfect amount of space for our family of 4 plus dog. It was well stocked with what we needed for cooking and relaxation. My kids loved the games and coloring activities in the upstair loft area as well as relaxing on the hammock, jumping on the trampoline and roasting smores in the fire pit. We enjoyed its proximity to Pedernales Falls state park for hiking. Our host, Nicolette, was super responsive to our needs and gave great recommendations before our stay. We would love to return!
