Came to Kerrville for a girls weekend with my college roommate. We had a wonderful time. Carol’s Cottage was the perfect landing spot. The house was very clean, the beds are comfortable, and the kitchen has all the essentials. We enjoyed watching the wildlife through the picture window. We hope to comeback.

Carol's cottage was perfect for my needs. I had my dachshunds with me, and I was able to just open the back door and let them out into the secured yard. The landscaping was really cute, the pool sparkling clean, and she even left a bottle of wine out for our enjoyment! Clean, pleasant stay.

The cottage was incredible when we stayed. If I could give this a better rating than excellent I would!! Carol was so wonderful as well. Her yard is beautiful and she had lots of toys and a sand box for our grandkids to play in!! The pool was a nice added touch as well!! We will definitely stay here again as we frequent Kerrville often to visit the grandkids. Thanks so much Carol for making our stay so comfortable!!

Very clean, comfortable cottage and a beautiful property. Kitchen was well equipped and the home was well furnished. The backyard is fully fenced and pet friendly. It has a nice pool area with a patio in a nice adjacent backyard area with cushioned chairs, tables and lounge chairs. There is a barbecue grill and outdoor fire pit. The hosts graciously included a complimentary bottle of local wine. My only suggestion to add to guest comfort would be a couple of new pillows in the bedroom and perhaps a Pyrex measuring cup. Excellent accommodations!

Beautiful, cozy rental. Everything was super clean, and owner/management had thought of every detail a visitor might need. We enjoyed our stay and hope to return next year. We particularly enjoyed morning coffee sitting out on the nice back covered porch: comfy outdoor chairs and privacy of the pretty little backyard! Lovely quiet neighborhood!

About the host

Hosted by Carol Triola

Host profile image
Joe and Carol Triola and have been in Kerrville for 36 years. We moved from Houston to raise our children in this wonderful town. Joe is a retired Real Estate Inspector and chief grandpa and Carol is a Licensed Professional Counselor. We are well known around Kerrville and take great pride in our reputations, for being ethical, hard working people you can count on.

Why they chose this property

We built the cottage (2014) as an addition to our property, and so we could continue to enjoy visitors. The Methodist Encampment location makes it an especially appealing vacation home for those who appreciate esthetics and/or are visiting one of the many fun festivals in Kerrville or Light on The Hill for Emmaus retreats, or other events.

What makes this property unique

We love the coziness of the home, as well as it's preserved wood and stone. It has a 100 year old antique pine counter top in the kitchen, oak floors and native field stone on the house. As always, it is "the cleanest house in town". The location is close to everything, quiet and feels like you are in the woods, 5 minutes from town.
