Cottage by the River ~ Sunset Suite

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. Located right across the street from the Kerrville Nature Center, guests are steps away from the Kerrville River Trail, walking distance to top restaurants including Grape Juice, Thai Ocha, Francisco's, and Yeo Bo's, as well as several shopping boutiques, antique stores, and Pax Coffee & Goods. 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. This centralized location gives guests access to all that the Texas Hill Country has to offer! Please read the full PROPERTY DETAILS listed below.

PROPERTY DETAILS:

NO pets allowed
WiFi & basic cable included (55" Smart TV with Roku)
King Size Bed
Towels & linens provided
Shampoo & Conditioner only (Bring your own body wash)

The atmosphere is so relaxing. People our friendly. So much to do just at the cottage; biking, walking, kayaking, fishing. You don't have to even leave the cottage. Great food to eat along the Guadalupe River. Definelty going back. Oh and this was our 2nd trip to Cottage by the Sunset. Can't wait for the 3rd trip already :)

Wonderful respite!
This cottage is darling. It’s well decorated and appointed with every convenience. First aid kit, fancy dish soap, board games are all there. The outdoor space is gorgeous. There are multiple areas if there are visitors at the two other rentals. My favorite part is the location. Yes, the road outside is busy. I’d be careful with small children but it’s so convenient. I borrowed the super cute bike available. You can ride along the river on the safe path. It’s a gorgeous park. I had no car for 5 days and found it so easy yo get to restaurants, stores and the hospital.

Short Getaway in Cozy Cottage
The cottage was great! Right next to the river, the nature center and a beautiful trail for easy walking/biking. HEB down the street gives you everything you need for a cozy, chill stay. Listing was accurate - and yes you can hear cars going by, but it didn't bother us and the fan provided really helps if it is an issue. We did run into a few quirks (the lock on the door didn't seem to lock consistently from the outside and the stovetop sometimes didn't work/dial numbers were loose on the oven dial, so it made cooking interesting). But overall would recommend if you're going to be out and about most of the time and just need a place to crash or need a nice little retreat for a few days.

A little overpriced.
This property is a bit smaller than expected. It is right on the road so you an hear daily traffic. Bathroom is tiny. For the price and fees, its more than a local hotel stay.

Business trip
This is an adorable and very comfortable place to stay. I was there for business. The bed is great! Great coffee maker. Nice wine glasses. The details are nice and feels very trendy. I think the front welcome mat needs to be replaced and the front porch chairs repainted but those are very minor complaints. I would stay here again.

Simply Perfect!
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.)

Great amenities and location!
Super cute place! Comfortable bed. LOVED the provided bikes and kayaks! Across the water (and along a short dirt path out your backyard) is a beautiful island with a great paved path for walking or biking to a popular swim hole area! It is so close! We also kayaked to it! H-E-B is 2 blocks away and for a longer stroll you can walk to the downtown area! We did one evening. There is a nature center across the street and you are right on the river trail (the paved path mentioned above) that goes for miles to your right or left. We explored that one day. You can’t hear your neighbors at all through the walls and at night we can’t hear the traffic on the road. They offer a box fan as well for extra cooling or white noise. Thought the AC works great and you don’t need it. Nice, big shower with good water pressure and hot water. Owners give you a detailed email of everything included in the rental. There are 3 different, VERY nice sitting areas on the river, so plenty of room to have your own space with other renters next door. This is a fantastic place!

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!

Easy and beautiful stay!
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.

Kerrville Stay for TX Lions Camp Work Weekend
What a wonderful cottage! Very clean, private and inviting. The outdoor amenities were enjoyable. We had friends join us around the gas firepit on the deck for a very nice evening. The area by the river and wood firepit was relaxing. The bed was amazingly comfortable, especially after a long workday. We definitely recommend this beautiful cottage!

Great for a weekend getaway
We had a lovely stay in the Sunset Suite! The location is excellent for getting down to the river, accessing spots in Kerrville, or making jaunts out to Fredericksburg and other parts of the hill country. The unit is well appointed and had everything we needed for a weekend trip. We loved the outdoor spaces and fire pits. It is next to a somewhat busy street so you can expect some road noise right on the front porch, but we didn't find this to be a bother at all. It's basically unnoticeable inside and just a few steps away on the patios. All in all a great weekend space.

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.
