Lovely Place
A lovely old home and was nice to spend the night at. Loved learning the history of the home as well. We went to Bryans on 290 for dinner and it was in walking distance from this home.

Relaxing cottage
The house was as described and accommodating. Lots of history and info on LBJ and his brother. Front bedroom bed was very comfortable. Kitchen had plenty of what we need to make meals when we didn’t eat out. Owner made checking and checked out easy.

Disappointed
We didn’t actually end up staying at the property. We were there for a total of 5 minutes and decided to find a hotel instead. The house does not look like the photos online. The yard was unkept and the nearby homes were as well. The primary issue was the very strong smell in the house (stale and old). The owner refused to refund our money. This was our first bad vrbo experience.

The inside was clean but the porch and steps were filthy. We could not sit outside. The pots and pans were unusable. The mattress in the master bedroom was very uncomfortable. The place was quaint and quiet. However we would not book the place again. Consuelo R. Hughes

Great Location but needs some TLC
Overall we enjoyed our stay. The location is in a great location 3 blocks from the Court House in Johnson City. It was very convenient for our plans to get out and explore the winerys around Johnson City and a short walk to the restaurants in downtown. The road noise at night is not too bad. Them only time I noticed noise from 290 is when a 18 wheeler would go by, but it wasn't too bad. We had planty of room for us (2 adults & 1 child). The property manager, Wilma, was very responsive and great to deal with. There are some things that kept us from giving a higher rating. With an older home you need to expect that it needs a little more TLC. The other issue we had was that the listing states in the description that it has a King bed and double bed. Actually has a queen bed and a double bed.

Memorial Service
Came for memorial service of friend. House is old, but historic, apparently part of LBJ’s immediate family. Convenient to 281 and things in Johnson City. No dishwasher, but we knew that going in so we brought disposable dishes and cutlery. Be aware that pic of kitchen shows a Mr. Coffee but had a Kuerig. Coffee isn’t provided so plan accordingly. Bring ice, as well, no ice trays. It’s dog friendly and worked well for us with our puppy dog. I suggested to owner she provide written instructions for operating TV. It’s FUBO or something, but we weren’t familiar with how to use it. Just got lucky!

Charming, historical home in great location!
This home was perfect for an overnight stay in Johnson City. My mom and I were celebrating her 70th birthday and wanted a convenient location to the restaurants and shopping. This was right in the heart of downtown Johnson city and walking distance from the restaurants and shops we wanted to check out. Very charming and loved the historical aspect to it. Wilma was very responsive and was also flexible when our first date didn't work out due to severe storms. Really appreciate how accommodating she was throughout the process! :)

major disappointment
Property seemed uncared for and showed no pride of ownership: carpets stained and dirty, house had an unpleasant odor, bathtub was chiipped and the surround moldy, a mere drizzle of water out of the lavatory, and more.

We certainly enjoyed our stay in Johnson City in this stone house. Wonderful display of LBJ. Host was very attentive and helped us when we needed it. We did have a small issue with toilet flushing, but let Wilma know and I’m sure she will take care of it promptly.

Vintage & cozy
Cute little old house perfectly located in JC near town square, shops, and great restaurants…. Only 30 minutesish to Fredericksburg and Dripping Springs. Communication great! It’s an old house, but has historical charm and perfect for some game time after exploring and a good night of rest. Thank you for a nice stay!
