About Us

The Property

Located on the edge of town near Festival Hill along the banks of Boggy Branch Creek, Red Antler Accommodation consists of 1300+ sq ft. two bedroom, two bath bungalows. As well as the Branca Bungalow, featuring interior design by Alessandra Branca and The James Cabana, featuring interiors by Meredith Ellis. Each bungalow comes equipped with a full kitchen, gas range, washer/dryer, dining area, living room with a fireplace and screened porches. Along adjacent walking paths the property also includes a fire pit, gas grilling area and a swimming pool. Red Antler Bungalows are situated just on the edge of Round Top city limits, a short walk or drive to many restaurants, shops, cultural venues, and historic local sights.

Thoughtfully Designed

While on the exterior the units are all similar in design, the interiors are unique to each. Ranging from a more contemporary unit complete with Knoll dining chairs, a polished chrome wet bar and photography by Kurt Markus to one with lacquered bright green dining chairs, chinoiserie fabrics and works by Harrison Howard, each bungalow has its own unique personality.

The bedrooms feature king sized beds with sustainably sourced, 1200 thread count, and Supima cotton bedding. Walk in showers in each bathroom. Additionally each room has a walk in closet. The bungalows have been thoughtfully appointed for both short or long term visits. Our goal is to make sure everything has been provided so that no matter how long the stay, everyone feels relaxed and at home.

Discover the James Cabana at Red Antler

The James Cabana serves as a vibrant gathering space where guests can unwind with a book, enjoy a game night, host an elegant catered dinner, or mix a drink at the Honor Bar. A central fireplace offers warmth on chilly evenings, while expansive picture windows provide stunning views of the crystal-clear, circular swimming pool—an inviting retreat on sunny days. Outside, plush black-and-white striped lounge furniture pairs effortlessly with oversized Chinese blue-and-white porcelain urns and fish bowls, creating a sophisticated yet relaxed ambiance. A lush green wall frames the pool area, where a variety of indigenous trees thrive along the banks of a serene, spring-fed creek. Whether you’re seeking tranquility or lively conversation, The James Cabana is the perfect setting.
