Texas Thanksgiving 2024
Once again, we enjoyed our time at Off the Beaten Path very much. It’s such a lovely, quiet, cozy spot. We’ve stayed here several times & this time appreciated rocking on the porch in the mornings & evenings. Thanks to both Tammy & Chris. 👏

Cozier than it appears
It is definitely “cozy.” The pictures don’t show it but the pool is in the owners backyard so private only when they aren’t home. Those things are only minor issues…the biggest issue was the ant infestation in the kitchen. The owner told me that the last visitors saw ants. I don’t know what she did or didn’t do, but I had to replace food twice because ants attacked two different days. The only offer was to have her son come and spray, with me and my dogs in the cottage. The whole situation was disappointing, I went home two days early

Great getaway
Tammy’s cottage was amazing! I needed a weekend to get a way from everything. My social battery was as depleted. This little cottage and pool was exactly what the dr ordered! Comfy, quiet, and peaceful. Close enough to town to get a few things for snacks and supper, but far enough away to feel “alone”. Perfect get away! Tammy was responsive to messages and made sure everything was on par. 10/10 recommend if you need an escape.

Couples Getaway
My hubby and I needed a weekend away together wo kids and craziness of life, just to recharge and spend time together. This place was perfect. It was secluded which was nice but only 20-40 min away to big towns to shop and food etc. We enjoyed an evening in pool and enjoyed dinner pool side after a day of antique shopping. Wanted to hike which there are many trails close by but all closed due to recent storm damage. Only surprise was description didn’t indicate another house on property so we were surprised to see it when we pulled up. We almost thought we had wrong location. It wasn’t an issue just surprised. Would stay there again!

CUTE little house! Very quiet
Very cute little house. Easy to find but far enough off the road to be super quiet. Super clean and pretty comfy bed with great pillows. The only thing is they listed a hot tub we never found.
