Beautiful Place to Stay
We were in town for a wedding and needed to be close by. This was the perfect place to stay. Hosts were welcoming and even left feed for our daughters to feed the chickens and cows that would come to the fence. We would definitely stay again if we had the opportunity.

Fantastic!
We LOVED this little Alsatian house. The property was very clean, well stocked with amenities and beautifully decorated. It’s in a nice neighborhood and located only about 2 miles from my husband’s parents, so we plan to stay here again in the future. The bed was extremely comfortable. It really was a perfect stay.

We LOVED this house! It was just perfect for our family and friend visiting from out of town. It was so clean, comfortable, and fun. Everything was very well thought out, and we didn't need anything, it was all there. Highly recommend!

A Taste of Old World Europe
Perfect for us! We were unwilling refugees from hurricane Beryl and found this spot to land while we waited for the storm to pass. It was an unexpectedly wonderful haven. We were able to work “from home” with all our usual amenities - which included space for our dog. Moreover, we were able to easily walk into central Castroville for the most amazing pastries at Baked and for superb pizza at The Dough Station. We also discovered the regional park which has amazing trails and was a lovely spot to enjoy the outdoors. The hosts were super kind and respectful of our privacy - they even left us fresh eggs from their onsite chickens. Imagine sitting on the front porch, waking up with the chickens over a nice cup of coffee and watching the cows graze in the pasture behind the house in the afternoons. The experience of the house in combination with the town struck us as a little slice of old world Europe, and we feel truly blessed.

Great stay and Awesome owners!
The communication from the owner was great. They answered every question we had and was very helpful. We traveled from Alabama and arrived late with no issues at all. They area was really nice. We were there visiting family. The house had everything we needed. We stayed with 3 teenage boys which stayed in the loft. We loved the house and how it was neatly organized. It has a country setting which we loved. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. The Whitten Family
