Huntsville Getaway
We flew in from Ohio to go to our son’s Ring Ceremony at SHSU. The owners asked what time we would be arriving and were kind to leave lights on for us outside and inside. They left baked goods from a local cafe and the house itself was stocked with things most vacation rentals do not provide. Loved the location and walked to a local restaurant for lunch. Would definitely recommend this home!

Our stay at the sensational cedar cabin was perfect. We loved the sustainability, functionality and funkiness. Mid-century modern meets Texas, yeehaw! The story behind the builder is inspirational. Attention to potential needs was top notch (best of any VRBO where we have stayed). And thank you for the cookies!

Unique Art House (TX Cedar House)
This unique home is a property everyone needs to experience at least once while visiting Huntsville, TX. The property is a “sleeper”. The curb appeal is completely different than the inside of the home. The owners provide everything minus food and beverages. The home is impeccably clean and detailed. One bedroom on the ground floor with a bathroom living area and stocked kitchen. While ascending upstairs, the stairwell is equipped with lights that turn on once a sensor is passed. Two bedrooms upstairs with one bathroom. Many remotes for lights and fans too. TVs in alll bedrooms and the living area. The home appears to be constructed with select salvaged or recycled materials with nostalgic appliances. All bathrooms are well stocked and include spare toothbrushes if you forgot yours. The home is cool with many fans and an AC system. This home is a must see and stay. We will return if we ever revisit Huntsville. TYVM for the opportunity to visit this home.

Cool house and better hosts
We stayed at cedarhousetx for my daughter’s SHSU graduation. The house was the perfect size for our 4 adults. Everything is current. The house has an older vibe, but with all the latest and best tech. The bathtub is incredible, it may be worth a trip to Huntsville just for the claw foot tub. Lots of deck area for entertaining, and it has an immaculately cared for propane grill. There is a turntable with some vinyl records available to help set the mood. The hosts were beyond accommodating, and responded to question almost instantly. This was by far our most carefree trip via VRBO.

Wonderfully Eclectic
Myself and two of my friends who live in different areas met in this general location to reconnect for a few days. We chose this wonderful location because it was so close to the square. We could walk anywhere. There were lots of shops and restaurants that were very delicious. The house itself and the proprietors were wonderful. The house is filled with so much charm and so many interesting items. It was also filled by the proprietors with wonderful drinks and ice cream and cookies lots of condiments, dishes, silverware, kitchen appliances, and everything else to make a fantastic stay for us. We were so happy that we chose the little Art house as our place to meet up and reconnect. You will not be disappointed as it had All of the admin that you would ever need.

Mags Family visits Sam Houston State
We took our teenage boys to Huntsville as we’re getting ready for college life in a few years to just show them around campus and a college town. It’s changed immensely since we went there, but is still a neat little big town. The Cedar House did not disappoint! Very close to town, yet, you don’t feel like you’re in town at all - it’s a quiet neighborhood. The house has everything you need and the owners were very accessible. I highly suggest visiting this cute little cottage hou, we definitely plan on returning!!
