About this property

Romantic Historic Circa 1900 Farmhouse With Pond & Porch - 8 Miles to Brenham

Welcome to The Cottage at Chappell Hill. Some places are just places to sleep. This Victorian cottage farmhouse is something else entirely - stained glass, gingerbread trim, antiques with stories to tell. Sip coffee or wine on the expansive deck perched above a tranquil pond as birds serenade, deer prance at dusk, and fireflies light up the night. Known as the "Healing House" for decades, you'll feel it the moment you arrive. Only 1/2 mile from Chappell Hill's shops and diners. The perfect romantic retreat.

The Cottage is old-world European charm wrapped around modern comfort — the kind of place that reminds you why you love to travel in the first place.

The Cottage faces Main Street in the tiny, Hallmark-type town of Chappell Hill (population 300) — tucked away enough to exhale, close enough to everything worth doing. Guests have full private access to the entire 800 SF cottage, two porches, and fenced yard. The cottage sits on 0.60 acre, which you'll have all to yourself. No shared spaces or hovering owners here.

Modern Touches: Blazing fast Starlink Wi-Fi · Vegan toiletries · Organic linens · Phone charging station · Eye masks · Remote fireplace · Streaming TVs + DVD · Door code entry. Room details and amenities are captured in the photos — take a peek!

Historic Charm: Original shiplap walls · Victorian sash windows · Gingerbread trim · Oil Painting · Pressed tin ceiling · stained glass front door handcrafted in England · A German "Willkommen" sign welcomes you at the entrance — a nod to the original owner who built this cottage in the final year of the 19th century. German heritage is deeply woven into the fabric of this home and this small town. My German ancestors settled in this county in the 1800s and are buried in Brenham. I love sharing the cottage with others so they can create new memories, experience the beauty, explore the sites, and learn about the local history.

THINGS TO DO: There are so many sweet treats and adventures that await you...

Within 1/2 mile:
Beaver's Kitchen for breakfast and lunch — order the lemon berry pie. Grapevine on Main for live music and dinner. Carol's Bar for a nightcap with locals. Plus stroll the cute, unique shops. Explore the Chappell Hill Museum, the Circulating Library, and Texas' oldest bank still in its original location after 115+ years. Texas Star Winery is just across the creek behind the cottage — best reached by car.

Within 10 miles:
Blue Bell Creamery · Chappell Hill Lavender Farm · Chapelton Vineyards · Brazos Valley Brewery · Truth BBQ · LJ's BBQ · Chappell Hill Sausage Co. · Barnhill Center Theatre · Firemen's Museum · Antiques galore · Bird Trails · Bike trails · Music fans: Drake's ranch is 5 miles up the farm road

The house is wonderful. If you like old houses or antiques you will love this. It is small, so I would not recommend it for more than a couple. We stayed here for our honeymoon and loved the quiet area and that it was not in town but close enough to Brenham for convenience. The house is very clean and well stocked with linens, cooking utensils, basic pantry items. The fosge is small though, so if you want to cook you may need to grocery shop frequently. Loved it so much that my mom and I want to come stay again and go antique shopping.

It's such a charming cottage and was perfect for us to just get away and chill. Very nicely furnished and decorated. The sofa and bed were quite comfy, something u don't always get. Washer/Dryer helped us pack fewer clothes. Owner was great, very communicative, accommodating and helpful with food suggestions. We loved the porch and spent every morning and evening there.

December Stay

The property was a quaint little cottage that was decorated with an antique feel. Everything was as advertised and when our stay in early November has to be rescheduled due to multiple emergencies, the host quickly responded to my request to reschedule for December. The only issue was the house was a bit drafty during the cold temperatures. I would definitely recommend a friend to stay here.

Perfect place for weekend getaway!

We booked this nice little home in Chapel Hill for the weekend to attend the George Strait concert at Kyle field. It was the perfect place, not too far to drive to College Station and far enough to be out of the crowded city. If that's what you like, then this is the place. There are a couple nice restaurants just a mile or so from the house and the food was great. Rechelle, the host, was very friendly and communicated everything we needed to know well ahead of our arrival. We had a very pleasant experience. Thank you Rechelle!

This was our second stay. We've fallen in love with this place. There is something magical and peacefilled here. My favorite is sitting on the deck or porch having delicious coffee provided and reading a book early morning listening to the birds. Occasionally we see deer. Our dog loves the yard, porch and deck as well. It has all the amenities needed and much more. The location was great for our needs. The owner is quick to respond and very pleasant to work with.

Perfect retreat from the city

This cabin will take you back in time. Everything about the cabin and property was beautiful. It is located so close to the historic downtown and only a two hour drive from our home in Houston. The perfect getaway! We took our dog and he loved the grounds and we didn’t have to worry about anything because the yard is perfectly secure with a fence. The home had everything and I mean everything you could possibly need. They have definitely thought of everything when putting this place together for renting.

Charming Cozy Country Cottage

We were so impressed by this very charming Texas cottage. It is decorated so adorably cozy. Everywhere you turn it is filled with well thought out detail and amenities to make our stay comfortable. We loved sitting on the porch watching our dogs play in the fenced yard. I loved sitting on the deck early morning listening to the birds, watching for deer and having a cup of coffee or tea from the exceptionally well stocked adorable country kitchen. At night with the tiny twinkling lights in the yard and on the house it feels magical and romantic sitting on the porch. The host was always quick and pleasant to respond to my questions. It was a great location for us as we visited friends who live between Brenham and Bellville. Washington on the Brazos is just down the country road. Chappell Hill has some quaint shops, historic churches and nice restaurants. We travel often, have stayed in a variety of places, and must say we thoroughly enjoyed this cottage and would love to go back someday!

We spent the July 4th weekend at this charming place. It was exceptionally clean and has a very well stocked kitchen. You won’t need to take anything except your food and drinks. The front porch is delightful for drinking your morning coffee. It reminded us of my wife’s grandmother’s front porch. Our dog loved exploring the front yard which is completely fenced. The host was great at communicating with us. A great place to escape for some quiet time or Chapell Hill’s July 4th parade.

Thank you so much for giving us a 10 out of 10 rating. We're glad you found the cottage quaint and cozy, and that it still gave you a relaxing getaway despite the rainy weather. We use Starlink for WiFi, which is normally very fast, so the severe thunderstorms likely caused some temporary interruptions to the signal — we appreciate you flagging it so we can keep an eye on it. The recent storms likely affected the outdoor areas as well, and we'll make sure everything is freshened up for future guests. Thank you again, and we hope to host you for another getaway soon.

Why they chose this property

Historic Chappell Hill (population of 300) is known for its historic architecture, rich cultural heritage, the annual Bluebonnet Festival in Spring and Scarecrow Festival in the Fall. Founded in 1847, it's located in Washington County, which is in Stephen F. Austin's original colony. He is known as the "Father of Texas" and played a significant role in the colonization of Texas by bringing the first group of American settlers to the region in 1821. He was appointed by the Mexican government as an empresario (land agent) to bring 300 families to settle in Texas.

Most of the German immigrants who settled in Washington County were primarily farmers and craftsmen. They were attracted to the area by the fertile soil and the promise of land ownership. They brought with them their language, culture, and traditions and established their own communities, churches, and schools that taught in the German language. They also introduced new crops to the area, such as grapes and peaches, which helped to diversify the local agriculture.

The birthplace of Texas is considered to be Washington-on-the-Brazos. It was here that delegates from across Texas met in 1836 to sign the Texas Declaration of Independence, officially declaring Texas as a separate republic from Mexico. This event paved the way for the Texas Revolution, a critical moment in Texas history. There are several historical sites and museums that commemorate this important event in Texas history, including the Washington-on-the-Brazos State Historic Site and the Star of the Republic Museum.

It a magical place!
