About this property

Holland House, built in 1877 filled w/ character and charm located on the square

A building filled with character and charm built in 1877, one of only a few that survived the hurricane of the 1900's. The unique twist of the building is what we fondly refer to as "character". Located on the square, a private brick paved courtyard with large oak trees to unwind or simply enjoy the quiet that our small town has to offer. Shops are within walking distance or just minutes drive from eating establishments. The 2 bedrooms share a Hollywood bath (each bedroom has it's own vanity and toilet but share a claw foot tub/shower enclosure). The first bedroom has a queen and a twin. The second, has 2 full size beds. In addition, there's a hall half bath. The kitchen is fully equipped with the basics for meal preparation along with breakfast cereal, coffee and tea. Washer and dryer available for guest use. Minimal parking in the rear or free street parking in the front. No parking or blocking of the side or back alley. Free WiFi, Netflix and TV with 50+ local channels, DVD player

No smoking or pets.

Discounts offered for weekday business travelers or frequent/repeat weekday guests.

Great VBRO
Clean and comfortable. Plenty of hot water, the beds were all comfortable with the exception of the master which was creaky. All of the other beds, linens were soft and comfortable. I would highly recommend. Easy to get in and out with plenty of parking. Easy walk to the square and around Bellville! Will stay again!!!

Bellville Charm
Bellville is so charming, and the Holland House is a wonderful place to stay to enjoy the town. When we drove up, we couldn't believe the location - right on the town square. We were able to park on the street just outside the door. Are breath was taken away at how cute the Holland House is - and how authentic! It exudes old time charm while being up to date with all the amenities you could ask for. The decor is farmhouse style and is so tasteful. There are 4 beds and 3 bathrooms, so the four of us were very comfortable. The huge island in the kitchen was our gathering place. You literally walk out your front door to the town square full of restaurants and shops. We were in Bellville on Market Days, and on the 175th anniversary of the town so there was a lot of activity in the square. Couple your visit with a trip to nearby Brenham which also has a beautiful town square full of shops and restaurants. There are many other towns close by such as Round Top, which makes the Holland House a great "home base" for antiquing in the area. The owner was very receptive with entry codes. Definitely a 5 star rental.

About the host

Host profile image
I was born and raised in Bellville and proud to call it home. Brad and I live off site and are proud parents of our daughter who is a recent Aggie graduate.

Why they chose this property

The building was originally home to a newspaper that had been moved from where the library currently stands. Through the years it has been a bar, antique store and many restaurants. Built in 1877, it has lots of history. Brad and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary in the early 90's when it was a quaint, romantic restaurant called Holland House. When I purchased it, the floor and walls had many license plates covering holes. Some of the holes in the floor, we were told were bullet holes from the days when it was a bar. The 1936 plate which is hanging by the front door was taken from the floor and restored. The sign above the dining table was made with the flooring from the back rooms of the building in which the lumber is a mixture of species, textures and patterns.
