Property details

A peaceful getaway from the city, Christmas Hill Cottage A is nestled minutes away from Lake Somerville. Here, idyllic, sun-filled days will be full of boat rides, sandy reading sessions at Welch Park, and peaceful hikes or mountain biking at Lake Somerville State Park & Trailway. You're also only 30 miles away from College Station, home of Texas A&M University.

The space
Combining the perfect mix of farmhouse charm and modern elegance, the interior was designed by Houston's Williams House LLC. You'll love the open-concept layout, well-equipped kitchen, restful sleeping quarters, and sizable bathroom with a walk-in shower. The upstairs loft (accessible by a loft ladder) is perfect for younger guests if you are visiting as a family. A stackable washer/dryer is even available for your convenience.

Outside, enjoy each other's company and the radiant weather from the porch or opt for scenic strolls along the walking trails in the back.

This cottage can be rented together with Christmas Hill Cottage B as The Christmas Hill Cottages for a discounted rate.

The place is beautiful and very peaceful. It was a very relaxing stay even though we had a tiny power outage. Unfortunately we had to reach out late at night but they were quick to respond and extremely helpful. Communication was great and we felt taken care of. Anyone wanting a peaceful stay out of town should stay here! Exactly what we needed.

The Christmas Cottage was located in a quiet area outside of town and easy to find. Just a 10-15 minute drive into downtown Brenham to shop and eat.
