Lovely cottage, terrific host, fantastic neighborhood

Carol is a premier host! We loved her cozy cottage and fenced-in back yard with a covered porch and lovely views for us and convenience for our dog. I’ve already booked a return trip and highly recommend. The neighborhood is a very special pocket of Kerrville with an artsy flair and families of deer roaming about.

Perfect

Everything about my stay was perfect. Such a beautiful setting, so peaceful. This year there were so many cardinals! Also saw a fox, lots of deer, several baby deer, and able to feed a deer. She came up to me as I was sitting on the porch and my host had graciously provided peanuts for the squirrels and deer. God’s creation always speaks to my heart so beautifully. Thank you for this wonderful place!

It was our second time staying at this home. It's a perfect place to relax and enjoy all the beautiful birds and evening visits from deer. We loved doing day trips to Fredericksburg, Luckenbach, Hunt and Ingram and coming back to Carol's Cottage for a dip in the pool. The house is so comfortable and fully stocked. The beds were perfect! We were fortunate to visit with the property owner's granddog, Hero. Will definitely stay again soon!

Great atmosphere

This was a great place to stay. Very comfortable guest house. We enjoyed sitting in the chairs under the porch. We enjoyed the hot days by the pool. We used the grill to make some great steaks. The chickens were so fun - it felt like home as we have chickens, too! We loved the blackberries growing along the fence and how fun to have the deer greet us when we first arrived. Thank you for sharing your place. It was such a nice retreat for our family.

Everything we wanted!

What a beautiful and relaxing place to stay! We enjoyed the quiet neighborhood, the cool, refreshing pool, the abundance of birds and flowers and the many deer just sauntering by in the neighborhood. It was a short drive to the farmer's market, shopping, the brewery and restaurants. The entire place was very comfortable. Looking forward to visiting Kerrville again - Carol's Cottage is the perfect place to stay!

Delightful charmer

Carol has put her time, talent and affection into every square inch of this cottage. It is stylish, comfortable, functional, quiet and has numerous great antique furnishings. There is a spunky little weiner dog that lives on the other side of the fence who is always happy to greet you.

Great stay

Lovely area. House decor was perfect. The wildlife increased our enjoyment and safety was evident. We had a bit of a problem upon arrival, probably our fault. We never found the door code on our email so that caused a minor problem. The owner explained she was tied up with clients so that explained not being able to reach her when we arrived. Otherwise a wonderful experience.

All we hoped for!

The cottage was attractive, clean, well-appointed, comfortable. We were looking for a brief respite from the current heat wave as experienced in the city. This was perfect - good AC, beautiful pool, and a shady and beautiful place to sit outside in the mornings. The neighborhood was also very pleasant for a morning walk. We could not have been happier.
