The Christmas Hill Cottages
A peaceful getaway from the city, The Christmas Hill Cottages are nestled minutes away from Lake Somerville. Here, idyllic, sun-filled days will be full of boat rides, sandy reading sessions at Welch Park, and peaceful hikes and mountain bike rides at Lake Somerville State Park & Trailway. You’ll also be just 30 miles from College Station, the home of Texas A&M.
Combining the perfect mix of farmhouse charm and modern elegance, the cottages are designed by Houston’s Williams House LLC. In both, you’ll fall in love with the open-concept layout, well-equipped kitchen, restful sleeping quarters, and sizable bathroom with a walk-in shower. Accessible by ladder, the upstairs loft space is perfect for younger guests if you are visiting as a family. A stackable washer/dryer is even available for your convenience.
Outside, enjoy each other’s company and the radiant weather from the front and back porches as well as walking trails in the back woods.
