Formerly owned by Kiki Neumann, a Houston-based Folk Artist, the cottage is a magical place that has touched the hearts of so many people. It has been known as the "Healing House" for several decades. Many guests return time and time again to rejuvenate their minds, re-prioritize their lives, mend their hearts, and/or search and soothe their souls.
You’ll be taken back to a simpler time where you'll relax in early-American, 19th century luxury - just as the European settlers experienced. Enjoy the splendor of The Cottage's original features: Cypress siding, shiplap walls, wood door knobs, high ceilings with pressed tin ceiling tiles,Victorian sash windows, stained glass door from England, Willkommen sign from Germany.
This is more than just a place to stay; it's an invitation to experience the true essence of this one-of-a-kind historic property surrounded by God's beautiful creations such as spectacular sunsets, brightly shining stars, whirling breezes, wild grapes and garlic, native plants, plus wildlife: Deer, fox, armadillos, skunks, etc. Plus Pecan, Oak, and Bois d'Arc trees, wild grape vines, wild garlic, and native plants abound.
Come and experience the charm of the country in tiny Chappell Hill, a historic town with a rich history. Sit for a spell in the front porch rocking chairs, inhale the country breezes, view the wildlife, spot an eagle, hear the birds songs.
