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.

The property was absolutely beautiful. Peaceful and quiet. The pond is beautiful and the fish were fun to watch come up and eat. The house was decorated to the T. It was spacious and the amenities were to perfection.

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!

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.

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

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!

Peace in the Country
I visited the Twisted Oak for my birthday with a couple of friends. We loved it! I live in the city so being out in the country was really relaxing for me. The house is well maintained and comfortable. We'll definitely be going back at some point!

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.

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.

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 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.

Very relaxing!
We had a great visit at this property! Loved the fishing, the hot tub, the expansive grounds, and the pet-friendly booking. The primary bed was really comfortable, the oven and stove worked great, and the fireplace was a MUST in the chilly weather. Only issues: the grill did not work and the place did not have the best circulation; bedroom really hot while living/kitchen not so much. Overall, this was a wonderful retreat for our little family. Hope to go hack to catch the kayaking and spend some more time outdoors!

Fun for the whole family!
I can’t say enough great things about our stay at Twisted Elm. The kids loved fishing, kayaking and exploring the property. The dogs were in heaven with all the space to run around. The kitchen was stocked with all the cooking supplies we could need. The hot tub and fire pit are wonderful additions. Beds were comfy. AC was cold. We had the best time and are already talking about coming back when it cools down. Tom was a wonderful host. Thank you for everything!

Great for a little family get together
The house was big enough to share with other family members, and the open concept dining room and living room allowed us to all hang out together inside. It was the outdoor space that really made this place ideal. Both adults and children enjoyed the fishing. The kids were running around the huge yard, rolling down the hills, and chasing butterflies. With the 2 grills we were able to cook out multiple times. The hot tub was clean, and the fire pit was fun too. The part of the family staying in the area would have like to have extended their stay, and we are all looking at making this our regular place to stay in the area.

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!

Perfectly peaceful
Twisted Elm was the perfect house for our vacation. Came in for the Antique Show, but also took advantage of visiting the small towns. The house was spacious enough for 5 adults to spread out. We all enjoyed the sounds of nature and a surprise visit from 2 armadillos! The fisherman in the group was able to fish in the pond so he was super stoked about that. We also took advantage of having our morning coffee on the back porch while we discussed what we wanted to do for the day. The house was well stocked with everything we needed from pots and pans, my favorite type of coffee shaped mugs, to q-tips in the bathrooms. The beds were super comfortable and the host was very responsive. We will definitely return!

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.
