About this property
Private home with pool on 3+ acres within 15 minutes of Round Top & Brenham!
Nestled within the rolling pastures and under the shining Texas stars is “The Retreat”. Located just 12-miles from Round Top, 13-miles from Brenham and 11-miles to Burton, you will find this sweet sanctuary to be the “heart” amongst all the happenings! It is a delightful, single-story retreat with private pool & perched over 3+ acres with amazing views that provide front row seats to the sunset & stars. This private home is sure to sweep you off your feet with its happy blue doors, lovely finishes, open-concept design, and serene atmosphere. Enjoy the afternoons discovering the charm of the easily accessible surrounding towns, wineries, antique shops, the Blue Bell Creamery, and some incredible eateries. After exploring the local offerings, come back and relax in a rocking chair on the porch or around the firepit to soak up the most beautiful sunset; the one you promise yourself to never forget. Escape from the hustle and bustle to fresh air, a cool country breeze and the tranquil sounds of Mother Nature. This destination is ideal for a relaxing girlfriend get-a-way or special time with your loved ones. The Retreat was created to ignite that smile within your soul and fill your tank with peace & joy…and of course a touch of Dolly is awe-inspiring!

This is our favorite vrbo home, the host does not leave out a single thing and it is always incredibly clean. Charming decor, beautiful elevated sunset views and amazing location close to Round Top. She has plenty of activities like puzzles and games and the pool is perfect. The setup of the home is perfect for everyone.
Loved the property. Great location. Beautifully decorated and equipped with all the essentials (and more)! Would highly recommend and will be returning!
Great weekend, beautiful house, everything was perfect! Amanda was super friendly, answering all our questions and making sure our weekend went smoothly. We highly recommend!
Amanda thought of every detail preparing for our stay! The house and pool were incredible! Our family discussed this place being the best we've ever had.
Beautiful property close to round top! We went with our 1 year old and another family and their 2 year old. The kids loved the pool and the open floor plan of the house made it easy to keep an eye on them. Amanda thought of everything stocking the house with toiletries, cooking supplies and smores kit. Adorable welcome gift. Nothing but positive things to say about the house. We’ll definitely be coming back!
This was a great house for a girls weekend in Round Top. The house is beautiful and is located on an equally beautiful property. The owner thought of every detail to make your stay easy and pleasant. We will make this house part of our annual girls trip.
This gorgeous home was the perfect home away from home. The owners thought of everything to ensure we were comfortable and that we had everything we need to have restful nights. Amanda was easy to work with and made us feel very welcome. Thank you for a great stay. Will certainly look to stay here again on our next roundtop adventure!!
This was the perfect place for our family, right between Austin and Houston. The house had everything we needed, we did not need to leave once. The host was fantastic, very accommodating and communicative. We will be back!
The home is spacious and beautifully decorated. The kitchen I thoughtfully labeled and stocked with all that we needed, included snacks, treats, coffee and accoutrements. The bathrooms had an abundance of towels, bath robes, slippers, and even advil and makeup remover wipes!
The Rental was a perfect weekend getaway. The entire home was beautifully designed and so accommodating. Definitely a 5 star experience. We made wonderful memories. The Perks that were left for us to enjoy just put everything over the top.
Not only is the house fantastic, Amanda is the most thoughtful host. Virtually anything you need is already in the house. We love the country setting, the pool, the shuffleboard table, the fire pit (with s’more supplies!) and so much more.
I cannot say enough good things about this home. Nothing was overlooked. By far the best Vrbo I’ve stayed in. Every single detail was thought of. Stayed with 8 friends for a Round Top wknd and we CANNOT wait to go back!!! THANK YOU!!!
We were so impressed from the moment we drove up, until the moment we walked in the beautiful house. Pictures didn’t do this place justice. Large kitchen and living space. Great back patio. Beautiful rooms and the master bedroom
And bath are spectacular! We want to come back in the spring. Thank you Amanda! What a sweet welcoming package!
This property was absolutely beautiful. Every room was immaculately clean, and well thought out. The owners did not miss a single detail in making this home the perfect place for a retreat. Every amenity was available, from coffee and tea in the morning to blankets and house shoes in the evening. The property is lovely and peaceful. It’s close to Round Top as well. I came here with my mom and aunt. We had a wonderful girls weekend! We will be back!
We booked The Retreat for a short family get together and were looking for a ranch style home for my mother. This home exceeded our expectations. We loved all of the thoughtful touches that Amanda included, such as plenty of pool towels, paper goods, coffee, snacks, and toiletries. Small things make such a big difference! The house was very clean, pool was clean, and everything worked great. Communication with Amanda was easy, and it is apparent that she takes great pride in providing a wonderful guest experience. The Retreat was exactly what we were looking for and we had a great time.
