Ginger Jar house in La Grange

We enjoyed staying at this sweet house in La Grange for our daughters wedding at the Ice Plant. The location was very close and the house is very cute!

House was perfect!

The house was perfect for our sister getaway! The only downside of our stay was the lawn was overgrown and the bike tires needed some air other than that the stay was great! We really enjoyed the porches!

Wonderful stay at a beautiful house!

If you are a fan of HGTV, you will see that this house is the "after," the big reveal on your favorite design show. The house is absolutely beautiful, and if you're like me, you'll take a lot of photos so you can copy parts of the design when you get home. But not only is it beautiful, it's totally comfortable. Every thoughtful touch you can imagine is there. We couldn't have asked for a better stay. The bathrooms have great tubs, clawfeet, and one corner tub that is huge. The beds are comfortable and there are lots of warm covers and pillows if you need them. The kitchen is equipped for anything. I couldn't think of a single thing that I might have needed that wasn't there. The yard and the porches are also beautiful. We had some very nice weather while we were there and enjoyed sitting outside in the comfy chairs. I can't wait to come and stay again. I was there this time for Round Top (very convenient but out of the fray) and I would go back just to enjoy the house. And I live on Long Island. ;-) You will not regret choosing this house. You will just not want to leave. Caroline was a great host (and, again, decorator!) and she responded within minutes to any questions we had. We didn't have many--there is a book that tells you all about the house, not to mention that Caroline provided all the information you need to check in and get settled before we even arrived.

Charming Home

Wonderful home. Excellent host. Plenty of towels and extras. Very nice rental. While next to the train track, the passing trains never really bothered us.

Great weekend getaway

The house was perfect for two couples. All the amenities you would need for cooking and lounging. Beds were very comfortable and everything was clean. The host was easy to contact and gave very clear instructions for checkin and out. Yes it is next to the train tracks but it didn’t affect our sleep. Overall, great location, welcoming and comfortable house that has been beautifully decorated. Would book again!

About the host

Hosted by Caroline

I’m Caroline and live in Austin with my three children. Life is super busy! Which is why I love the slower pace, sense of community and ease that comes with staying in a small Texas town like La Grange.

I also love anything that has a story behind it and has character that can be felt- like antiques and old homes! Whether you are on a girl’s trip to reconnect, a visit to Round Top or just to unwind in a quieter space, I truly hope you enjoy it here as much as I do!

Why they chose this property

The house is a restored Victorian guesthouse. There are 2 bedrooms on the main level, one with a king-size bed and one with a queen; two twins on the second floor and a queen pull out sofa in the living room. One bathroom features a claw foot tub and a hand held shower, one bathroom has a full size bathtub and there is also a stand up shower on the main level. There is a clawfoot tub upstairs that has been converted into a shower.

In the kitchen please help yourself to bottled water in the fridge and Keurig coffee, drip coffee and tea selections. Powdered creamer, sugar and salt and pepper are provided.

If you are joining us for Round Top Antique Festival we have a full size garage that you are welcome to store your finds in. There is an automatic side gate that leads to the driveway and garage. The driveway can accommodate 2-3 cars for off street parking.

What makes this property unique

La Grange is a charming little town and you are just three blocks away from the town square and courthouse, where there is a coffee shop, wine bar, antique shops and boutiques. Round Top and Warrenton are both just a short drive from the house. If you are attending a wedding at The Ice Plant Building, you are literally around the corner from the wedding venue!

There are a number of fun activities including a winery, brewery and historical sites that you can visit from La Grange. Also don’t miss the famed Kolache Trail! Check out the La Grange Visitors Guide here!

Please remember that La Grange has a working train that comes through the heart of town. The whistle blows at various times throughout the day and even at night. Most guests find it charming and part of the small town experience, but ear plugs are provided if needed.
