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.

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.

Well appointed and comfortable space. We enjoyed being so close to town and the river trail. Drank my morning coffee at the chairs overlooking the river and saw deer.
Great location for our holiday visit. Communication with hosts was excellent, cottage was exactly as described and fit our needs well. Convenient access to river trails, shops, and restaurants while also being private.
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!
We enjoyed our stay in The cottage by the river. It was clean and had everything we needed. While it is next to a street the traffic and noise were minimal. We would stay there again.
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.
The Sunset cottage was perfect for our little getaway to relax. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed for our two night stay. We would definitely recommend and stay here again!
Thanks JT
Cozy and Comfortable Cottage located on Guadalupe River
My wife and I enjoyed a short two night stay here. The place is small but lovely. Has everything you need. Nice sitting area for guest overlooking river, ducks and deer. Overall highly recommend this property. Great value.
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.
The property is well thought out and beautifully maintained. The location was perfect for us to explore Kerrville. We visited with friends and made use of the outdoor seating areas; taking in lovely view with our fine conversation. Loved the access to the River Trail and the restaurants within walking distance. Another visit is in the works for Sunset Cottage. Thank you for a great stay.
This cottage was lovely! Great location, roomy bedroom, efficient kitchen. Firepit and viewing deck were awesome. Owner responded very promptly to all of my inquiries. Would recommend to anyone interested in enjoying comfortable accommodations with the enjoyment of seeing deer, turtle, ducks, and more !
We loved our time in the suite! Everything was just as it was described, and iur hosts were so responsive to our questions. We plan to visit again. Thank you!
My boyfriend and I came to visit my family and this place was perfect for us. I felt like I was on vacation in my hometown! From the super comfortable bed, to the fire pit, to the water access, everything was so nice. We will definitely be staying here on our future trips to the hill country. The host was nice and fast responding as well! Highly recommend!
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.)

Why they chose this property
All three of our VRBO properties were chosen because of their centralized location and accessibility to a wide range of Kerrville's attractions. This specific property was built around 1924 and boasts nearly 200 feet of guadalupe river frontage, and is one of only a few riverfront properties available for rent within city limits!
