Romantic Farmhouse - Pond - Fenced - Private - 8 Miles to Brenham

Welcome to The Cottage at Chappell Hill. Imagine waking up in a charming Victorian farmhouse cottage perched above a private pond. Built in 1900, this historic jewel faces Main Street and is only 1/2 mile from unique shops, diners, and landmarks in a tiny, Hallmark-type town (pop. of 300). Brenham is just 8 miles away. Once known as the “Healing House” owned by artist Kiki Newmann, this is the perfect romantic spot to unwind, celebrate special moments, explore nearby wineries, and create cherished memories.

This cottage is the epitome of old world charm blended with early American luxury. Modern amenities include Starlink Wi-Fi, king bed, sofa bed, stove/oven, vegan toiletries plus a stocked kitchen with complimentary coffee, tea, and snacks.

It is more than just a place to stay; it's an invitation to experience the true essence of a unique cottage that envelops you with peace, romance, and charm. Guests return time and again to unwind, explore the lovely countryside, and thrive in the small town vibes.

Upon arrival, you'll step onto the large front porch, adorned with gingerbread trim and rocking chairs. It’s the perfect spot for coffee, tea, and/or local wine while being surrounded by native pecan trees, wild grapes and garlic. The cardinals and bluebirds will welcome you with songs. You'll likely spot deer and fireflies too. You may even spot the local fox and armadillos.

A sign from Germany welcomes (Willkommen) you as you as enter the stained glass front door, made in England.

Inside, you'll marvel at the original shiplap walls, victorian sash windows, tin ceiling, antiques furnishing, and more. A drawing of the original owner, Mr. Charles Meister, is on the shiplap in the living room closet. Born in Germany in 1865, he became a prominent local figure in interior architectural ornamentation. His contributions are documented in scholarly works on Texas decorative arts.

Chappell Hill is known for its historic architecture and cultural heritage. The town is located inside Stephen F. Austin's (the Father of Texas) original colony.
