Amber was great … because she responded to questions almost immediately and we felt cared for. The house was awesome … because it was clean, organized and the attention to detail was obvious. The breakfast snacks, English muffins, bagels and cream cheese were thoughtful. Overall, the house definitely added to our memorable weekend.

Lovely bungalow in a great spot

Two mummies and two sets of twins. We stayed one night so that we could be close to an event the next day. We had a great experience - the building is huge - tons of space for the kids to play board games; big comfy sofas for the mums to have wine and coffee; very close to a few places for dinner. We went to Hound Song as suggested by our friendly host. 100% recommended as an overnight or weekend stay.

The cutest Bed & Breakfast

I was pleasantly surprised with our family stay at The Carriage Step!! Our family is all spread out between Austin, Houston & San Antonio. We picked Columbus as a mid point to meet & have our early family Christmas together here. We walked to the Santa Museum & antique shops. We opened our gifts around one of the beautifully decorated Christmas tree. We watched Christmas movies & drank coffee & tea with one of their many gorgeous tea sets in the sun room. The beds were comfy & everything was clean. We will most definitely be back soon!!

Historical Home

This is a beautiful old home. The owner is nice but very hard to communicate with unless you call her, I do know she is busy and the house is for sale. My experience probably isn’t normal but I had to call to get my check in information. I did have a question about breakfast being included but never got an answer. There was some packets of oatmeal and continental stuff on the counter.

The best yellow house in Texas!

My sister-in-law and I were delighted the moment we laid eyes on Amber’s Carriage house. It is charming both inside and out and provided the best weigh station for us as we toodled around Round Top. We had so much room to relax, whether in the Tv room with a glass of wine or on the back deck with a cup of coffee. The beds were comfortable, the ambience was perfect, and Amber was accessible to us when we had questions about local restaurants or needed help at the property. We definitely recommend you visit!
