2 Bedroom Cottage in Columbus

Staying at Mae Mae's Cottage provides the experience of quiet country living. This newer built property allows for modern conveniences and comforts with definitive country life accented with beautiful antique decor. Nestled on a small working cattle ranch between the main house (100 yards away) and ranch-hand living quarters (200 yards away), this property is quaint and peaceful. Sit on the front porch and experience a Texas sunrise or on the back deck experiencing a glorious sunset. Guests have enjoyed birdwatching, reading a book surrounded by nature, occasional coyotes howling in the evenings and sitting by the fire pit and looking up at those beautiful stars over Texas.
Mae Mae's Cottage is a wheelchair accessible property. The living area of the house is on one level including the front porch, back porch and patio deck. Maneuverability in the Grand Room (which includes the kitchen, dining area and living area) is easy for wheelchairs, walkers and strollers. The master suite provides an accessible king size bed, adjoining ADA accessible bathroom with a roll under sink, a roll-in shower with ADA grab bars and a bathing chair if needed. The driveway and parking area are all paved and connect straight to the house.
The second bedroom suite has a full size bed and connecting bathroom with a walk-in shower. (Please note that this bedroom is not wheelchair accessible.) The laundry area includes a full size washer and dryer and connects with the second bedroom and also the garage.
The spacious Grand Room holds a brand new, queen sleeper sofa, swivel rocker, recliner and round accessible dining room table.
The kitchen is fully outfitted with everything you will need to cook away from home. We do provide some staples for your kitchen in the way of flour, sugar, salt and pepper and a few miscellaneous spices. We also provide a coffee bar which includes a burr coffee pot system and an espresso brewing system. And, we do keep a regular drip system in the pantry.
There are two small work/office areas, one in the Grand Room and one in the Master Suite. We provide unlimited WIFI and Amazon sticks on all TVs.
We are dog people and want you to feel free to bring your fur babies with you. Our entire property, over 10 acres, is fenced and gated. However, we encourage you to keep your babies on a leash at all times outside. We have two large, overly friendly and sometimes zealous giant Schnoodles that have access to the entire property off leash.
