We loved the adorable cabin. We had the Arizona room…very spacious, super clean, had all the things we needed for our stay plus more. Peaceful surroundings to top it. We will definitely be back!!
This is a beautiful, quaint and peaceful place. Very convenient to Round Top! The manager is very responsive and goes the extra mile for her guests to have everything they need! We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay there again!
This was our second visit. It was perfect. Room very clean and had everything we needed! Hope to visit again!!
Great stay for my daughter and me! Convenient to Round Top, oh so peaceful, a friendly goose and deer in the clearing!

The Rocking Horse Retreat is outside of Carmine in a beautiful setting. I enjoyed the quiet and the green rolling grass and all the wildflowers. Rented this to attend Round Top Antique week. A good location. About 15 minutes easy drive to Round Top. The only problem is windows do not open and the wall air conditioner is above one bed --- did not need a/c --- but, could not have slept with this over me. Thunder storm early one morning work me -- but, what was scary was the wooden window blinds rattling like crazy in the wind. I thought the window was going to blow out. The property manager is very responsive to questions and requests.
