The Cottage At Axis Hill Farm with Private Riverfront

“The Cottage” At Axis Hill Farm

The Cottage at Axis Hill Farm is the perfect spot to relax and refresh or enjoy a family gathering at the river or on the patio. The night boasts a beautiful sky with a multitude of twinkling stars.

We endeavor to provide our guests with as much of an “at home” feel as any vacation rental can provide. It sits within a fenced yard; a patio and privacy garden so that you may enjoy the tranquility of the Hill Country well distanced from the entrance gate. There are also lots of hiking and walking places both on and off of our property, as well as private river frontage to enjoy during your stay.

We are located ¼ mile from Hunt, Texas, between Schumacher Crossing and the Hunt Crossing, and next door to Bridget’s Basket and The Market. Numerous summer camps are within just a few minutes of our gate, and we are in close proximity to several good restaurants. Also in close proximity are several golf courses, wineries, and museums.

The 2 bedroom / 2 bath cottage is behind gated access and sits comfortably on the side of a hill overlooking the Guadalupe River Valley. It is nestled off to the side and slightly behind the main home in the yard area. There is a nice privacy garden that provides separation between the two. The cottage is well equipped with each room having its own new HVAC system and new ceiling fans to provide maximum sleeping comfort. The front bedroom has a King bed and the back bedroom has 4 Twin beds. There are sleeping accommodations for up to 6. Each bedroom has its own separate bathroom including new washbasins and new tile and glass showers. Each bedroom comes with wall mounted Direct HD TVs and fast Wi-Fi. All of the kitchenette appliances are new and include a fridge / freezer with icemaker, gas cooktop, and Breville Smart Oven. A Mr. Coffee maker is provided for your comfort and convenience. There is also a gas grill for outdoor cooking on the patio and a fire pit with a grill on top. For our guests who plan longer stays, The cottage is complete with a washing machine with a gas dryer and optional housekeeping can be arranged. Otherwise, cleaning is completed following your stay.

We own private access and deep water frontage on the Guadalupe River. There is plenty of room for access in and out of the water from our concrete and rock facility. In addition, we provide tubes for your floating pleasure and there are 4 Kayaks available. Swimming, fishing, kayaking, and floating in the tubes are but a few of the enjoyable activities that the river has to offer. Our private river facility can be accessed by vehicle or a short walk from the house and sits at a comfortable distance from the highway for your privacy.

Another wonderful stay!
As always this property is an amazing stay! The private riverfront is so peaceful and tranquil it takes the stress right out of you. It reminds me so much of my time at nearby Camp Stewart when I was a kid. The cabin is very nice and I love the hill country view from the porch. The only thing I would like is for the cabin to have a full size oven instead of a toaster oven, but it wasn't anything that was going to hinder our stay. We will definitely return soon!

Perfect spot for us!
The location couldn't have been better, and the host as well! What a lovely spot near everything we wanted to do and see. Nancy was delightful, and so helpful! The cottage had everything we needed, and we slept so well. Wish we'd had more time to relax on the porch or the patio, because it was delightful.

Axis Hill Farm was a wonderful place to stay. Nancy was the best host! Location was so close to everything in the Hunt area. The river dock located on rare deep water of the Guadalupe River was very private and beautiful. The Cottage immaculately clean. It had two spacious room that were appointed in charming Texas Hill Country style. The beds were comfortable for all. The internet access was strong. The grounds were beautifully maintained. The views were breathtaking. Excellent value for the rate. I look forward to staying there the next time we visit the Texas Hill Country.

My happy place
My daughter and I think of Dick's property and river front as our place of Zen! I have a picture of the river as my screensaver. We've been twice and used both cabins. They are wonderful as is Dick as a host. We plan to return often.

River Relaxation
We love the area and the river access was perfect. We had everything needed to relax on the river. The cottage was perfect. We had expected two private bedrooms but was actually two rooms. But worked out fine for three of us. Place would be great for camp pick up and we will stay again!

Outstanding stay in Hunt TX!
We stayed at this property for three nights after we dropped our kids off at nearby Summer camps. It was one of the best decisions we ever made! The cabin is very cozy and has all the essentials. The beds were very comfortable and vastly exceeded my expectations. Our group slept better there than we have in a long time. A good bed can make or break a trip and these beds helped. The cabin is quiet and secluded with nice views of the nearby hills. We did a lot of relaxing outside in the evening. There are two grills on-site and a fire pit, while we didn’t use them, we just might the next time we return. The waterfront is the best part of this rental. There were plenty of floats, canoes, and other pool toys there for us to use including a bathroom which was unexpected. The river is quite simply an amazing experience that brought back many pleasant memories of nearby Camp Stewart where I went when I was a kid. The waterfront is private so you don’t have to worry about sharing it with the public. It was so quiet and peaceful that we spent most of our time at the riverfront. The riverfront is well shaded and offers perfect relief against the 100 degree temperatures we were experiencing while we were there. The water was also quite cool and was very inviting to swim. One other note worth mentioning is that both the property and riverfront have been well treated for pest control. I didn’t see a single fire ant the entire time we were there. The grounds have also been well maintained. Mr Colvin is a great host and he checked on us personally to make sure our stay was first rate. Our family cannot wait until our next opportunity to return!
