From the linens to the selection of coffee on the custom made Cypress Coffee Bar. Whether you are enjoying a morning coffee on the back patio bistro set, or a glass of wine during sunset on the front porch rockers. We want you to enjoy and relax.

The neighborhood is older, like 1920's older, so you'll see some homes in need of repair and some that are beautifully refreshed.

Once you arrive, feel free to park in the driveway. There is room enough for 2-3 cars in the drive, if parked behind each other. The gate into the back yard should remain closed. This helps keep the deer out.
From the moment you open the door with your smart phone you'll notice the large sparkling clean rooms, with attention to every detail, from the extra-ordinary luxurious bathrooms, to the custom built 90 year old barn door, and hand crafted, locally sourced, Cypress coffee bar. Dimmers on all the lights and remotes on all the fans to set your mood. No detail left unturned.
Take your pick from the romantic aire of Bedroom 1 to the modern chic splash of Bedroom 2 with French Doors that lead out to the back porch and your outdoor experience.
Once outside in the back yard discover an incredible hand painted-by a local artist, Kerrville themed mural on the side of the Game Barn. Play corn-hole, grill some steaks or sit around the fire pit with a glass of Kerr County wine while making S'mores. You'll never want to leave.
We want you to remember your stay here in Kerrville and to continue to make the Blue Heron Cottage your go to stay location. We are so close to town that you could walk if you think a mile is no big deal. However, if you prefer to drive there are plenty of parking spaces and it never seems to be an issue. There are NOT many Uber's in town, so if you are going out for some adult beverages, please have a sober driver, or call a cab.

We were here for a quick weekend stay & the house was perfect for our family of four. Beautifully updated and clean, with plenty of extra amenities. The ping pong table was a huge hit with the kids as well! Would highly recommend!

Fourth consecutive year!!!
As always, we love our stay in the Blue Heron Cottage every summer. While my son has fun at a nearby camp, my husband and I chill in the comfy and well-appointed house - what we now call our "summer place." Thanks to Erin, Tom and Sophie for making us feel welcome each and every year!
Nice place to stay. Was in town for work so didnt get to use all the great amenities.Only issue was the fire alarm went off in middle of the night for the first two nights randomly. In addition to that another alarm of some sort plugged in to wall socket beeped every few seconds. Outside of

Beautiful house
First of all, the town of Kerrville is a quaint town and a relaxing place to visit. The Blue Heron is a great house that has been so well remodeled. The decor is amazing and plenty of room in this 2/2. This is our second time to stay in this house as it is such a great property. I love the backyard with the cornhole pit on the side and the fire pit to relax and gather in the evening.

Wonderful Cottage in Kerrville!
The Blue Heron Cottage was absolutely perfect! We had a wonderful stay with our son, and our dog especially loved the spacious backyard. The location was ideal—close to our friends’ house, great restaurants, and everything we needed. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the kitchen was fully stocked for our short stay. We’ll definitely be staying here again the next time we’re in Kerrville!
Excellent house, it was a great short term getaway for our family. Very nicely updated with touches of the original home left. We really enjoyed our stay.

Love our "summer home!"
Yet again, the Blue Heron Cottage became our home away from home. We just adore staying there! Two small things: we ran out of coffee filters for the final day, and there was dirt at the bottom of the stairs stepping up onto the porch that one had to avoid.
P.S. That newer sofa in the living room is oh so comfy!

Amazing Place!
I've been to a lot of rentals. Many had something about them that were special, but nothing like this. You can tell this place is a labor of love with all the work and attention to detail that went into it. Everything was amazing and our host was fantastic. Check-in was easy, everything was well thought out in the place, and the location was very convenient.
Unfortunately, due to the heat, we weren't able to take advantage of all the place had to offer, but we'll definitely be back when the weather is cooler.

Fantastic...as always!
Erin and Tom provide a truly superior rental experience in the Blue Heron Cottage. This past week was our third consecutive year staying in what we affectionately call our "summer home" in Kerrville and we adore the comfy beds, modern bathrooms, and little extras. The ping-pong table in a former garage with its game-room decor, the grill, bike repair rack, outdoor fire pit (not that we've ever used it in m-summer!), and porch with rockers are just so charming. And the inside decor itself is just so inviting! The only suggestion is to replace the sofa with a more comfortable option, but it is a small price to pay for an otherwise wonderful place. Thank you!
A sorority sister and I stayed here while in town for another sorority sister’s mother’s funeral. The house was beautiful and had all of the amenities that we could even think about needing. The house next door was being renovated and when we first got there, the men working on the house made us a little uncomfortable. But after that. Everything was fine. I would recommend getting non see through curtains on the main parts of the house. Other than that, everything was perfect!
We loved this house so much we came back again; this was our second stay at this awesome property! Great location, close to state parks for day hikes and a great home to come back to and relax in. House has a nice kitchen and is also close to a delicious restaurant, Grape Juice, for when you do not want to cook. Kids love the back yard and call it the Ping Pong house and want to come again already :) Thanks Tom and Erin!
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed staying here. Everything felt fresh, clean, comfortable and updated. The backyard and game barn made the property feel larger with more space for activities (my 7 and 11 yo loved the games)! Furthermore, there is a definite attention to detail with these property owners and managers.
In town with our group participating in a Community Theater competition. Facility was a wonderful place to unwind, relax, and distress at the end of the day. All of the attention to what may seem like small details make it a very memorable space. Appreciate the ice, drink mixers, water and premium coffee and tea. Heated mirrors, white noise machine in the bedroom, premium makeup removal cloths, marshmallows for roasting andAlexa….who does that? Would absolutely stay again and recommend to others.
The Blue Heron was a great place to stay for our family of 4. The kids loved the outdoor games, especially ping pong, and I loved that the back yard is gated with comfy chairs for adults around a fire ring. The house had everything needed, and I liked that many things were labeled for ease of use. We spent most of our time at the house due to our kids getting sick and the house was comfortable with everything needed to make the best of our stay with sick kids. There was an issue with city workers needing access to the backyard during our stay and Tom and Erin reached out immediately to check in on us and the house. We look forward to coming back again!
