The space
JJ's Retreat Studio Apartment is nestled in a quiet neighborhood minutes away from downtown Bryan. It's 4 miles to Texas A&M and to the Brazos County Expo Center as well.
We’re Aggie owned and operated and we love hosting Aggies, Aggie families, and Aggie fans! Whether you’re visiting for a large or small Aggie event, let us know … We truly enjoy connecting with you.
We of course welcome visitors to the Brazos County Expo Center and traveling workers too!
And now more about this gorgeous studio :-)
This fully renovated garage studio apartment offers many extra comforts and conveniences:
- A white noise machine for the light sleeper that masks inside and outside disturbances
- The king size bed has a brand new cooling memory foam mattress from Zinus - a brand with 200,000 4+ star reviews on Amazon.
- The bed is dressed with high quality bedding - 100% cotton duvet and luxury Egyptian microfiber sheets.
The updated kitchen offers:
- quality dishware
- large coffee mugs (not the tiny white ones that come
in cheap sets)
- stemmed and stemless wine glasses (not plastic) as wine cannot be fully enjoyed while drinking from a plastic cup (though we do provide plastic for the cautious and/or clumsy)
- large bowls for the complimentary popcorn
- complimentary gourmet coffee from local favorite Polite Coffee Roasters
(plus sugar, Whole Earth monk fruit sugar substitute, and Half n Half) to start your morning off right
The kitchen is well-stocked with all of the necessary cookware for preparing meals. (Note: There is no dishwasher.)
The bathroom has been completely renovated and features a beautifully tiled walk-in shower.
Enjoy 100% vegan and cruelty-free products from Ginger Lily Farms. We provide shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and hand soap.
We also provide individually wrapped makeup remover wipes for your convenience :-)
New linens, rugs, and furniture throughout.
There's a diffuser if you'd like to bring your own essential oils and make this cozy space smell and feel even more like home.
High-speed Wifi (138.6 Mbps download, 20.0 Mbps upload) and a dedicated workspace make this a great choice if you need to work while in town. If you’re planning an extended work trip, send us an inquiry to discuss a discounted long term rental price.
A 60” HD Roku Smart TV allows you to log in to your favorite streaming apps and enjoy your favorite shows. It’s fully movable so you can position it to watch from bed, the couch, or the bartop table.
Come relax and watch a movie, cook up a light dinner, enjoy a glass of wine at the bartop table, read a book, work if you must, and end with a long hot shower. You'll love this completely renovated, beautiful, and inviting space!
