The stay was in a great location for our festivities. The train track was quite close and we heard the trains especially at night and in the early morning. We appreciated having a washer and dryer. The number of towels for our party was a little slim. We understand that the ROUND TOP weekend might have made the price higher than normal.

Great place for our groomsmen in Brenham—spacious, clean, and comfortable in a nice secluded setting. The only downside was the train track right in front of the house but it passed just once in the evening and wasn’t a big issue. Overall, a wonderful stay for our group

Perfect place for a weekend stay! The home was listed perfectly. The property was in fact located by a train but the noise did not bother us a bit. The home had a large backyard.

Adorable house, well appointed. We loved it! The only downside was the very close proximity to very active train line that ran all day and night. The hosts were kind enough to supply a couple of white noise machines that did help some.

This was a great place to stay with the family the great location to downtown and the grocery store. Plenty of room to run around with the children in the backyard bring a ball while the family enjoys a cookout. The rooms were all very comfortable and the house is way bigger than it looks from the outside. Downtown Brenham is very close with lots of fun shopping. We plan to book in the future again for our reunion.

Spring Round Top Fair

Property is very nice. I would stay there again. Some negative feedback in the reviews about loud trains passing by, but honestly, it was not bad at all. Loud for less than a minute at a time. Very clean, nice furniture and amenities, comfortable beds, and plenty of room. What else do you need.

Great house, some train noise

We knew there would be a train factor when we booked, and it wasn’t quite as bad as we expected. The house worked great for mom and dad and 3 adult children for a weekend stay. Close to downtown and 1 block walk from a Shirley’s Donut shop. Centrally located in Brenham

We enjoy this property very much. The only thing that I could complain is the train track. It is located next to the train track that could be noisy during the night

Great for family visiting Brenham

Place was clean and in great location within walking distance of downtown. Did not have problem with Trains passing through. All in all met all expectations. Only suggestion is to leave more information regarding such things as wifi, and how to leave house (sheets, towels, garbage) on departure.

The house and the host were just great! It was roomy, clean, well-supplied, comfortable, accessible, and safe.My family of seven adults had a wonderful time the short time we were there. We even had a fire in the back yard fire pit one night. There was also plenty of driveway for our four cars. The host was available as needed, which was very little. And, we really appreciated and used the supplied ear plugs. (The house is beside the fairly busy railroad tracks.)

Girl cousins weekend

House was very cute & cozy. We all had our own room. House was well stocked in kitchen and bathrooms. It was next to the railroad tracks but it wasn't loud and it didn't effect our stay. Grocery store was right around the corner and very close to downtown shops. We would stay at this property again.

Close to town. Cute House!

The house was really cute and super close to Main Street in Brenham. Lots of space! The only downside other than occassional trains passing by was that there were no check-in/out instructions (do we strip beds, where to leave trash, etc.) in the house or provided in advance other than how to access the lock on the front door and where to park.

Everything was great, the house was perfect but the house is right next to the railroad tracks and I’m a light sleeper. Although they don’t sound the horn, I heard them coming through town the entire night.

Exactly as Pictured

Don’t let the outside deceive you, this house is huge. Very charming, just steps away from the square in Brenham. Very lovely home, my only issue was the the two levers on the front door, it made it impossible to open the door with anything in your hands, small detail. The home is exactly as pictured.

June 23-25, 2023 Dragonfly House, Girls Weekend

My (3) three girlfriends and myself had a weekend stay at the Dragonfly. The photos online are very representative of the house. We will possibly stay at the Dragonfly again but the biggest surprise was the railroad tracks across the street from the house. Trains go slow and frequent since it is in town and are loud but not to disruptive if you are in the house. The owners were very responsive to all our questions.
