A Peaceful Retreat

I recently had the most wonderful stay at The Twisted Elm. This place is truly a haven for anyone looking for a peaceful retreat. Tom was incredibly welcoming and attentive, his passion for sharing this beautiful slice of nature is evident in every aspect of the experience. I cannot wait to return!

Wonderful country getaway

We absolutely loved our stay here and the house had everything we needed. It was so nice to sit out back and watch the fireflies while listening to the frogs sing. We didn't want to leave!

Wonderful gateaway so close from Houston

We had an absolute great time at Twisted Elm Ranch. The outdoor is fantastic, so much to enjoy: the hot tub, the pond for kayaking and fishing, the grill, the fire pit for s’mores ! We had a lovely time outside despite the already warm temperatures. This is a very cosy place, perfect for chilling out. Tom was super helpful.

Twisted Elm

Everything was great. The pond was full of fish and the guys had a ball! The location was fantastic, very peaceful. The house was furnished with everything you could possibly need. Mr. Tom was a great host. We arrived at the perfect time to see the bluebonnets. Hope to go back soon!

Quiet in the Country

This place met or exceeded all our expectations. Communications with the owner before and during the stay were great. Used the Kitchen, laundry, hot tub and fishing pond. All were very good. Close to both Sealy and Belleville with good food options and grocery stores. Restful sleep and near many places to visit. Would highly recommend. Thanks for a great week Tom.

Beautiful, Relaxing Stay

I wanted a relaxing birthday weekend to celebrate my 40th with my husband and friends. This was everything I wanted and more! The house was beautifully decorated and I was surprised multiple times at the small details that made it feel like home. The beds are very comfortable and huge. We spent most of our time outside on the deck or on the dock. Let me tell you-- the hot tub at sunset and watching the colors reflect off the pond is breathtaking.The host was very friendly and kept communication open. Everything was so smooth and easy with check in and out. Thank you again for opening your home and allowing us to make memories. PS: The wine was fantastic! Thank you for the birthday gift!

Terrific spot for a family weekend

We spent a long weekend at Twisted Elm with our adult children and little grandson and had a delightful time. The house had everything we needed -- three comfortable bedrooms and a roomy living area plus a large deck in the back. From watching the sunrise on the front porch to finding turtles and fish in the pond, it was a relaxing time. The property is quiet and peaceful, a pleasant getaway from the city. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals, though there are also some good restaurants in Bellville. Tom is an excellent host and was quick to respond to any questions. I highly recommend Twisted Elm.

Beautiful property

The house and property are lovely. It was overcast and drizzly most of our stay, but we (me, my mom, and sister) had a wonderful time just hanging out, watching movies, and sitting on the front and back porch just enjoying the peace. We did get to see some deer...and antelope across the road. Oh...2 zebras! :) Tom is really kind and a very responsive host. Truly grateful he shares this little slice of heaven with others. We will absolutely stay here again if we have the opportunity.

Loved this House!

This house is amazing. We were looking for a place to getaway, not too far from home, but far enough to get a break and that we could bring the dogs and up popped this house. This house is amazing. It's got everything you could want. You want to grill? Ok, fire pit, propane, or charcoal? Want a fire? Inside or outside? Want to sit under the stars? Pick a seat, there's plenty of outdoor seating on the wrap around porch or down by the pond or maybe try the hot tub. Looking for peace and quiet? This is the house. We will definitely be back. It was easy to check in & out, the owner was super prompt to respond, & the house was clean. This house has everything you are looking for.

Cozy Home on Beautiful and Peaceful Property

My husband, daughter and I rented this home for our visit to the Round Top Antique show. The drive to Round Top was a 40-45 minute drive through some beautiful countryside. The property itself was secluded and peaceful and the home was so comfortable! Sitting on the back porch watching the rain and enjoying the welcoming bottle of wine was the perfect start to our trip. Tom, the host, was great in communicating with us from the moment we made our reservation to checkout. We definitely hope we have the opportunity to return!

Quiet country getaway

Took my aging MIL to this quiet getaway for some peace and quiet, and relaxing family time. Did a lot of porch sitting! Very comfortable house, everything we needed. Never even left the property! The grounds alone were a beautiful view.

Great Country Get-Away-Beautiful Setting!

We were a group of friends traveling to Round Top for some weekend shopping! The house was about a 40 minute drive to the Round Top Antiques Fair but it's a beautiful drive and the wild flowers were gorgeous! The house was perfect for our group! We loved sitting on the front porch drinking coffee in the morning and saw lots of baby deer playing in the field across the street. The house had everything we needed and we were welcomed with a nice bottle of wine and a note from the host. Communication with the host was easy and he was always very friendly! As we were leaving, one of our group couldn't find a couple rings that she had set somewhere. We let the host know and he messaged me a day later saying the cleaning crew had searched high and low for us and located the rings...amazing! Then he sent them back...so nice!! If you're looking for a beautiful country setting as a quiet family get away or for your Round Top home base...we highly recommend this home!

Peaceful and Relaxing

Great house for relaxing, either in the house or in the hot tub. And my son loves fishing everyday!! House was clean and nicely decorated. Beside fishing there was other games and plenty to explore outside. The hot tub was wonderful to relax in at night. The beds were very comfy! Highly recommend!

Beautiful Hill Country Property

Our girls group planned a trip for the fall RoundTop antiques show and stayed here for three nights. The pictures did not disappoint because the house was everything and more as described. Lots of everyday useful items and a lot of unexpected. This area is hill country and is very beautiful without all of the light pollution of the city. There are multiple exotic animal ranches in the area and one even right across from the house! Tom kept in touch with us during our stay and was only a text away when we needed something. We were all very pleased with our stay and would highly recommend visiting this property.

Peaceful Getaway in Nature

This place was exactly what we were looking for. Quiet, peaceful, with plenty of nature around. We enjoyed taking long walks around the property with the dogs, building a fire, hot tub, and dinner on the patio during sunset! We also visited a local blacksmith and made really cool knives and did “tomahawk throwing.” 10/10 would stay again
