This cottage was exactly what I was looking for to celebrate our anniversary weekend getaway. It was within walking distance to all the shops and eateries and the cottage was decorated so cute as well.
A perfect stay for our romantic overnight. The Bybee was charming, impeccably maintained and showed attention to every detail from the fresh flowers, a hand-written welcome note, the water for the coffee maker, the snacks, the plush and ample towels to the sumptuous bedding and many other comfortable touches. The host made every touchpoint of our stay easy and enjoyable.
This is a well-maintained and comfortable cabin. There is one living space and a separate bathroom, both of which are rustic but very nice. There is central a/c in the unit as well as windows that open. There is a small television, as well as a well-stocked snack/drink station. The bed was comfortable. Very well-located, walking distance to central Round Top.
