Peaceful spot
Peaceful home outside Roundtop that we enjoyed for a few days while attending the antique show . We were a group of 8 ladies and enjoyed the space with the extra Texas room and 1/2 bath . Breakfast is provided and was an excellent coffee cake the first morning , the 2nd day was a hot casserole that was covered with some sort of chili powder so we did not enjoy that. Other than that the stay was wonderful and the house was very clean !

What a sweet group of ladies. Ww have had small groups that destroyed the house and here were 8 ladies that took excellent care of the Kottage. The first day I brought breakfast they were having a morning devo or Bible study which was really neat. We'd love for them to come again. I won't sprinkle chili powder on the casserole next time.

Shobana and her family were delightful and seemed to sincerely enjoy our little piece of the country here. They are the kind of guests you like to have because they are respectful of your property and appreciative of your efforts to make them feel comfortable and welcome. We do hope they come back and we get a chance to talk more with them.

We enjoyed our stay!
The house was clean, comfortable and pleasant. The breakfast was food both days. The view is so beautiful, especially in the spring! The only part that was just a little bit inconvenient was the checkin. We are accustomed to a “self checkin” approach. That way we are not keeping anyone waiting if we run late. Overall, the accommodations and host were wonderful!

Cute little country getaway minutes from Round Top
Me and my girlfriends stayed here for Antiques Week and had a great time. Eric and Deborah were very communicative the entire time. This was a great little find just outside of Round Top set on a quiet little piece of land, yet literally six minutes from Round Top square. They made us fresh breakfast every morning. The Cowboy Coffee Cake was awesome! The house was clean and charming. There are two bedrooms and then a little add-on space (which May have been a garage at one point) through the second bathroom that had an open concept with another kitchen and more beds. You could also access the ad on from outside. The porch was excellent for relaxing! We were able to feed the cows and took a short little walk down to the pond to feed the catfish.

Better than advertised!!
The drive alone was gorgeous! Rolling hills, beautiful countryside. The cottage was so charming and very clean. The cows greeted us and the cool front blew in just in time for our Round Top trek! Hosts were so gracious and kind. We paid a little extra for the Texas room to be opened up, since we added another family member. That by itself was an awesome, huge room! Thank you, Erik and Deborah for a wonderful weekend! Can’t say enough nice things about this place! We’ll be back!!

Our family of six (including four children age 6 and under) enjoyed a long weekend at the property. Eric and Deborah were wonderfully gracious hosts; very helpful but never intrusive. Our children loved feeding the cows and walking down to the stocked pond to feed the fish. The location is perfect - very quiet and out in the country, but only about a 5-7 minute drive to the restaurants and shops in Round Top. Highly recommend.

Cute little country cottage not too far from antiquing in Round Top & the surrounding areas which brought us to Texas. Hosts were very gracious.

I stayed at this property with a group of ladies for the Round Top spring show. The property was easy to find and close to all of the main show shopping. We enjoyed homemade breakfast every morning delivered by wonderful hosts. The property had enough beds/bathrooms to accommodate our party of 8.

Wonderful home!
Our stay was very comfortable and pleasing. We stayed in Kardinal house. The home is very lovely and very well kept. The Kolber's hospitality is superb! The best part was having hot muffins and fresh hand picked blackberries for breakfast. We were in town for the BP MS 150 and it was a short drive to the camp grounds. I highly recommend staying at any of the Kolber's homes.
