Cottage by the River ~ Sunset Suite

Circa 1924, this cozy cottage sits on the riverbanks of the beautiful Guadalupe River right downtown Kerrville, with immediate access to Kerrville's top attractions. Located right across the street from the Kerrville Nature Center, guests are steps away from the Kerrville River Trail, walking distance to top restaurants including Grape Juice, Thai Ocha, Francisco's, and Yeo Bo's, as well as several shopping boutiques, antique stores, and Pax Coffee & Goods. Spend the day kayaking, paddle-boarding, biking, fishing, swimming, or exploring Kerrville's parks, museums, and golf courses. Relax on the private riverfront, or take a short 30 minute drive to Fredericksburg, Comfort ("an antique town"), Bandera (the "Cowboy Capital of the World"), or Lost Maples State Park. This centralized location gives guests access to all that the Texas Hill Country has to offer! Please read the full PROPERTY DETAILS listed below.

PROPERTY DETAILS:

NO pets allowed
WiFi & basic cable included (55" Smart TV with Roku)
King Size Bed
Towels & linens provided
Shampoo & Conditioner only (Bring your own body wash)
Shared detached utility room with washer and dryer. Detergent to be purchased by guest.

***This suite is one of three attached units on the property. Sunset is located closest to the road so there is some road noise during the day. Inquire with owner to check availability of the other suites if you are in need of additional rooms/accommodations!

Awesome Anniversary

My husband and I stayed here for our anniversary and we loved every part of this place. I’ve already recommended this place to a couple of people and hope they stay. I was nervous after reading the reviews about being near a Main Street but we hardly noticed it. I will definitely bring my kids back to stay at the bigger cottage next time!

Great location and amenities.

We spent a week in the Sunset Suite and were very happy/satisfied with our stay. JT and Trissa were wonderful hosts and made us feel at home. The cottages's close proximity to the river trails, restaurants and grocery store was great. Overall our stay was very enjoyable and relaxing.

Simply Perfect!

My daughter and I loved our stay while in Kerrville. The cute little house was perfect for our needs. It has been beautifully updated and the grounds/amenities was an added bonus! The location was amazing as well. Loved our stay. (Not a problem for us, but there are about 5 steps to go up in order to enter the property.)

Great weekend getaway

Cottage by the River is a super nice place right on the river! This is our second time staying here. There are 2 individual cottages in one building. The one we stayed in this time is small but perfect for 2 people. Very cozy with a fireplace. There is also several outdoor areas to sit and enjoy wildlife. A group of deer visited Avery day. There were quite a few different birds also. Will definitely come back.

Great stay in Kerrville

We loved this property so much. The river, the care that went into the unit, the exterior areas to relax in, everything was amazing. I would stay here again (and again) when visiting Kerrville. I loved this property so much, plus seeing the deer down by the river was so cool.

Great location

This is a small VRBO that was just the perfect size for 2; we enjoyed kayaking and walking on the trail and the wildlife right out the back door. This is 1 of 3 sections of one property and the other guests were friendly and we all sat and chatted. On my stay again list if I am back in Kerrville.
