About this cottage rental
Welcome to The Cottage at Chappell Hill. Some places are just places to sleep. This circa-1900 farmhouse is an experience. Known as the Healing House for decades, you'll feel it the moment you arrive. It offers a rare kind of peace - one guests keep coming back for. Relax on the porch above a pond as birds serenade at sunrise, deer prance at dusk, and fireflies light the night. Inside, stained glass, oil paintings, and antiques have stories to tell. Chappell Hill's darling shops and diners are 1/2 mile away, Brenham is 8 miles.
The Space:
The Cottage at Chappell Hill is old-world charm wrapped around modern comfort — the kind of place that reminds you why you love to travel in the first place. The Cottage faces Main Street in the tiny, Hallmark-type town of Chappell Hill (population 300) — tucked away enough to exhale, close enough to everything worth doing. Guests have full private access to the entire 800 SF cottage with 1 king bedroom, 1 bathroom, 1 full kitchen, 1 laundry room, 2 porches, and fenced yard plus a seasonal pond. No shared spaces or hovering owners here. This is the only home on the property.
Modern Touches: Blazing fast Starlink Wi-Fi · Vegan toiletries · Organic linens · Phone charging station · Eye masks · Remote fireplace · Streaming TVs + DVD · Door code entry. Room details and amenities are captured in the photos — take a peek!
Historic Charm: Original shiplap walls and wood floors · Victorian sash windows · Gingerbread trim · Cypress shingles · Oil paintings · Pressed tin ceiling · Stained glass front door handcrafted in England · A German "Willkommen" sign welcomes you at the entrance — a nod to the original owner who built this cottage in the final year of the 19th century. German heritage is deeply woven into the fabric of this home and this small town. My German ancestors settled in this county in the 1800s and are buried in Brenham. I love sharing the cottage with others so they can create new memories, experience the beauty, explore the sites, and learn about the local history.
THINGS TO DO: There are so many sweet treats and adventures that await you...
Within 1/2 mile:
Beaver's Kitchen for breakfast and lunch (a slice of lemon berry pie is a must). Grapevine on Main for dinner (yummy pizza and charcuterie) plus live music on the patio. Carol's Bar for a nightcap with the locals. Explore the unique shops, Chappell Hill Museum, Circulating Library, and Texas' oldest bank still in its original location after 115+ years. Texas Star Winery is just across the creek behind the cottage — best reached by car.

We spent the July 4th weekend at this charming place. It was exceptionally clean and has a very well stocked kitchen. You won’t need to take anything except your food and drinks. The front porch is delightful for drinking your morning coffee. It reminded us of my wife’s grandmother’s front porch. Our dog loved exploring the front yard which is completely fenced. The host was great at communicating with us. A great place to escape for some quiet time or Chapell Hill’s July 4th parade.

Cottage was quaint and cozy, a little close to the road, but not an issue unless you are on the porch. Internet speed was slow for streaming and outside areas could use some cleaning. Overall we enjoyed the relaxing getaway on a rainy weekend.

We absolutely loved our stay at this cottage! It was cozy, charming, and beautifully decorated with antiques that made it feel so special. The kitchen was incredibly well stocked, including food and water, which was such a thoughtful touch. The bed was very comfortable, and we slept great. Communication with the host was easy and helpful throughout our stay. We felt right at home and would love to come back!

This was our second time staying at this gem. We spent most of our time on the porch. It was truly relaxing and mind clearing. The place was very clean just like it was last time. Rechelle is a truly wonderful host with excellent communication. Will definitely stay here again. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful place!
