About this property

Hill Cottage | Historic and Charming

Cain City was founded as one of the stops along the Fredericksburg and Great Northern Railway. It was a thriving town and until just about 30 years ago part of the old bank was still standing just a short distance from Hill Cottage.

Located only a few miles from Fredericksburg this delightful quaint, little cottage boasts phenomenal views. The yard has a wonderful array of birds. The outside patio has comfy chairs and charcoal grill and is ideal for watching our feathered friends, rabbits, deer, and all the other nature so abundant to the area.

The Adam's family built Hill Cottage in 1912, and also were founders of Cain City. Pine floors, pristine white trim, fluffy white lace curtains, and rich rose walls enhance the playful mix of patterns in the floral sofa and plaid armchair creating a warm and inviting glow in the living room. Enjoy the Direct TV with DVD player. Two bedrooms (both with queen-size beds) are found on both sides of the bath. Comfy reading chairs are found in both bedrooms along with antique dressers and chests. The bath has a claw foot tub with shower.

A completely equipped country kitchen has a range/oven, refrigerator, microwave, toaster and coffeemaker. The adjacent dining room has a table for four and antique china cabinet. Windows are conveniently arranged to enjoy the countryside views. The large patio and screened-in porch both have comfy chairs to sit and relax. Broadway Cottage is next door and also sleeps four—makes a perfect getaway for eight people.

$27.00*/extra person after the first 3 in the group/night
*plus 13% tax

Great

The place was wonderful It had the same floorplan as my grandmothers Craftsman. It was clean, had a great front porch and Kitchen Beds were comfy. Don't let the post about the front door scare you It does have a look on the front door that is like a hotel lock. We felt very safe Very close to Fredericksburg and Luckenbach.

Hill Country

Loved the location. Comfortable beds, furnished well. Kitchen was well equipped. The bathtub and floor are dangerous. Unstable, slippery, and no handrails. One of our party could not safely use it.

Hill Cottage in Cain City

We had a wonderful time in the Hill Country staying here at the Hill Cottage. The home was very clean and we loved the solitude, wildlife, and charm of such an old home! We're already looking for a reason to go back! A note for the owners: We enjoyed reading through the history of the house and town of Cain City, and found that my wife's Great Grandfather is first cousins with all of the Strieglers mentioned in the "Cain City Lived & Died by the Railroad" article!

Quiet and cozy

Plus side - this place was very cozy and quiet. Downfalls - the coffee pot was dirty and the coffee and creamer were very much expired. This is the first bnb we have stayed in that didn't provide coffee, water bottles, or something quick for breakfast, such as granola bars or oatmeal packets.

Relaxing

The house was secluded enough to be relaxing and peaceful but close to Fredericksburg’s main attractions. It could have used a bit more tidying before our arrival. There was food from the previous tenant left in the fridge and dead crickets in one of the rooms along with a dead scorpion behind the door. The rest of the house was quaint and what would be expected of an old ‘farmhouse’.

Cute house in quiet neighborhood

It was a beautiful house. Reminded us so much of our grandma's house growing up. Beds were super comfortable and all linen was clean and fresh. Had direct TV so we were able to enjoy some resting time. Loved the back yard. Saw deer everywhere and the house is about 8 minutes away from the downtown area. The only downside was the power and lights did not work in one of the rooms. But we managed just fine using the light from the bathroom and just charged our electronics in another room. Had central air and heat and made the house feel so cozy. Definitely would stay again.

Probably not the best choice for two old ladies. It was cute, comfortable and clean but had several safety issues: Front door did not lock, blinds did not close completely and a tub/shower that was impossible to use. Also, we could not get the TV to work or WiFi.

Cleanliness and Responsiveness Needs Improvement

The kitchen, bathroom and outdoor areas looked good. It was peaceful, semi-private and comfy rustic. We were on a girl's weekend, the first night we noticed that both bed fitted sheets appeared to be soiled. New sheets were requested the next day via email and call to property manager but no answer, email back or call back. Living room sofa area and floor could use a thorough cleaning.

Hill Cottage

I was VERY disappointed in this property to charge this kind of price for it and not have a working tv, no wifi, and then on top of it to have Gasthaus Schmidt charge me a $49.00 "fee" for cleaning or whatever. I've rented from Gasthaus Schmidt for years but will try to find other means to make my reservations in the future. I plan on trying to find the owners name and email address and write her regarding what she charged us.

I sent you a email yesterday. We like the little house , but the bathtub / shower we could not use because we couldn't get in . And the coffee pot didn't work. And the kitchen wasn't full stock and the stove was uneven . But we loved the porches . It was a very cute place . We enjoyed the Broadway cottage a lot better. It would have been perfect for us . We will be calling you again soon.
