Old shiplap from home was used in dining room and bathroom creating a really neat, meaningful look. Bertazzoni appliances for a great cooking experience. Walk-in closets. Bath has marble flooring, marble/tile rain shower with bench. Fenced backyard with matured trees.

Adorable House

This place was so cute! Great spot to unwind at the end of the day. We walked to a couple different restaurants and bars in the area that were a little farther away and the walk was really easy.

Fun girl’s weekend

We rented this for a girls weekend and enjoyed it very much! It was clean and very comfortable for 4 of us. There’s not much of a view from the front porch but we were out shopping and eating most of the time. There’s a wonderful Italian restaurant across the street and it’s very close to all the downtown shops. Great rental!

Antiquing Weekend

This cottage was so charming, cozy and clean, it’s perfect set up. Perfect location for restaurants, stores and little towns all around Brenham. I want to make note if you read previous reviews about lack of coffee makers and coffee, host took care of it. They created a small coffee bar, create coffee anyway you like it, K-cups, pot of cofffee or instant.

Sweet house on Main

I just visited Brenham for a twostay at the house on East Main. You can walk to all the shops and historic Brenham. I was provided with all the information I needed for a great get away for me. It appears to be recently updated and everything went perfectly. I would recommend this for a couple or 2 friends. The bathroom and two bedrooms are separated by the bathroom. Super clean.

The Cottage on Main in Brenham Texas was a hidden gem. We throughly enjoy our stay at this Farmhouse Modern Chic Home. We had the opportunity to have front row seating to the Juneteenth Parade and enjoyed all the restaurants within walking distance from the location. Next time we're in Washington County Texas we will definitely check to see if the Cottage on Main is available. Ross communicated very well with me and made the visit easy peasy!!!

We stayed at The Cottage on Main for my daughter’s wedding in Brenham….it was perfect! We enjoyed everything about the property. Lots of space and loved that we could walk across the street to Volare for dinner! Would have loved rockers on the porch as pictured but appreciated the chairs that were there. Only negative comment might be the condition of the yard but we absolutely loved staying there and would stay again!
