I couldn't have been happier with my stay at the Beehive! I arrived in the middle of the night, but Kerthy had made arrangements for me to get the key, and provided ample instructions via email. The Hive is hidden away amongst the trees, and the architecture is somehow stunning, simple, silly and cozy at the same time. Overall the house is small, but every turn provides something of interest, from the lighting fixtures, to the shelves, the cozy bench in the shower, the LBJ commemorative plates in the kitchen, and the books on obscure independent films. I could easily lock myself in this home for a week.
Favorite amenities:
- Coffee, coffee press and handmade ceramic mugs! Plus Kerthy left some fresh milk in the fridge, which was all I need.
- Internet access, for those of us in town on "business"
- Outdoor shower.... how exotic?!
- Office workspace, overlooking the living room. Very chic.
- Open Kitchen with giant cheese board - allowing 5-7 people to easily hang for a wine/cheese happy hour.
- Good knives. Nothing worse than a kitchen with dull knives.
- Laundry
- Dimmable lights - is soft lighting an amenity?
- Privacy - I was worried about all of the windows when I arrived, but the home somehow feels private from the neighbors. I didn't see anyone nearby for over 3 days.

I will definitely book the Beehive again - hopefully in the summer when the greenery returns. It was a fun, quirky, comfortable place to stay, and could serve as a small social meet-up site for anyone coming to town to visit with friends. A perfect getaway.
