Wonderful Stay

The Chauncy Cottage is a beautifully renovated home in the middle of Brenham. The owner has thought of most anything that guests may need and was excellent in communication in this very clean home. With perhaps the only complaint about Wifi that sometimes went in and out, it was a perfect stay in a beautiful home!
