About this house rental
Forget your worries in this spacious and serene space.
Get away from it all and immerse yourself in nature from the comfort of a distinctive modernist home, where floor-to-ceiling windows and soaring ceilings bring the outdoors in, affording endless views across the rolling landscape of fields, woodlands, and wildlife.
Greet sunrise from the expansive bedroom with two luxe queen-sized tempurpedic beds, one with massage functions. Unwind in the spa-like ambiance, with two bathrooms separated by a unique, open double shower featuring multiple jets and hand-held shower heads. Luxuriate alone or with your partner in the deep, two-person tub with jets.
Enjoy meals at the large handmade table in the spacious, open-plan kitchen/dining/living room. Begin your day with eggs fresh from the chicken coop. The chef’s kitchen is fully equipped and generously provisioned with beyond-basic cooking essentials.
A large, cushy sectional sofa beckons for reading and conversation, but don’t feel surprised if you fall into a dreamy nap. Or kick back on the deck, shaded by live oaks. Count the variety of birds flying by or stopping at the feeders. The resident deer tends to wander by every afternoon; you can feed her by hand if you like.
While most guests come to unwind, unplug, and recharge, the library does have a television set with access to the internet through your phone, numerous vintage dvds and cds, and a fabulous collection of books. WE HAVE NO WI-FI. UNPLUG, RELAX, and INTERACT with NATURE and EACH OTHER.
Hidden Gem encompasses 30 acres. Explore the rolling landscape on rustic trails mowed through woods and fields, along streams and ponds. Marvel at the architectural follies and large-scale sculptures strewn across the land. Stroll through our extensive gardens.
There are four private homes spread across on the property, each with their own acreage. Your guesthouse is set away from the others in a private glade. You’ll be left to enjoy your own space, but your hosts will be on call should you need assistance with anything.
Hidden Gem is the perfect place to put away your devices, disconnect, and recharge your mind. Cell phone and internet access is very weak to non-existent at the guest house.
The nearest town, historic Navasota, is about 8 miles away; there you’ll find a supermarket, several restaurants, and some shops. The larger town of Brenham—Washington’s county seat—has more stores and restaurants. Texas A&M in College Station is 23 miles away. The antique wonderland of Round Top is only 43 miles away. Also nearby is Santa's Wonderland (22 miles) and the Texas Renaissance Festival (29 miles).
We are dog-friendly; feel free to bring your house-trained dog to stay with you. Please protect our wildlife.There’s also a large, shaded pen so Fido can safely enjoy being outdoors. Several large, friendly dogs live here, and you might cross paths with them as you explore the property.

The Hidden Gem truly is a gem! We arrived in the evening and walked in to find one of the most lovely VRBOs we’ve ever stayed in. Every effort was made to make us feel at home. Hillary had not only left the place immaculate but fresh cut flowers adorned every room. She left us a dozen delicious fresh eggs and fresh herbs and veggies from her garden. The architecture of the home is so unique and from the comfy bed we felt we were staying in a treehouse. We had such a lovely stay that we are trying to plan another trip to the area just to have the opportunity to stay in this gem of a place. We highly recommend it to anyone needing a place close to Navasota, Brenham or Washington.

Great place!
From the start the host was great and communicative, and we were able to check in and check out at times that worked great for us. The house itself was wonderful, very different from what I'm used to.
Definitely beware with the wifi, as warned this house is not set up for that, so drive out to a coffee shop in Navasota if you need to work.
The full on floor to ceiling windows with no curtains were quite the vibe, absolutely lovely during the day. Thank you for the eyemasks! Double shower was awesome, and just the overall aesthetic of everything in the house was dope
Thanks so much

I couldn’t believe how wonderful this house was when we walked in! That was my first WOW moment! As we toured the rest of the home all I could say/think was “WOW.” I had never seen anything like this. We spent 5 nights, never ate a meal outside of the house. With no tv, we watched the birds at the bird feeder, listened to the wonderful library of music. We just unplugged. The antiques and the architectural elements of this house were mind blowing. We hope to return very soon! Another thing I’d like to point out is this is very handicap/wheelchair accessible. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
