About the Cottage
More than just a stay, this is an experience. A historic 1920s limestone home set on land with deep local roots, offering a peaceful escape with a story to tell. Perfect for slowing down and enjoying something truly different.
The Cottage has been shaped by time, craftsmanship, and the people who have cared for it over generations.
Built in the 1920s, the main stone house was constructed from hand-cut limestone and locally sourced cedar beams. Its structure is unlike most homes today, with solid stone walls supporting the entire weight of the house. That enduring design is part of what gives the home its quiet strength and lasting presence.
By the mid-20th century, the home had already taken on much of its current form. The upstairs addition, along with the enclosed porches that now serve as the butler’s pantry and sunroom, were thoughtfully integrated by skilled local hands, preserving the character while adapting the space for modern living.
Inside, you’ll find details that carry their own stories, like the owl chandelier in the salon, brought from Germany by Ernest and Iva Rue Montgomery, antique dealers in Austin in the 1970s and 80s. It remains a distinctive part of the home today.
The land itself reaches even further back in history. Once part of the Antioch Colony, a post–Civil War Freedmen’s community, it holds a deeper connection to the area’s past. Near the creek, a limestone fountain carved by a man named Cole once served as a vital water source for nearby families. Over time, the road leading here became known as Cole Springs Road in his honor, a name that still ties the property to its origins.
At the base of the hill sits the small yellow cottage, originally used as servant quarters, complete with its historic outhouse, a quiet reminder of another era.
We’ve done our best to preserve the spirit of this place while creating a comfortable, welcoming experience so guests can enjoy not just the home, but the story it carries.
