About this property

Pickled Pepper Cottage -Texas Hill Country History, Heritage & Hospitality

Niki's Country Cottages - Oktoberfest is here! 20 minute drive to Fredericksburg where the fun has already begun - don't miss out on Texas Boot Stompin' fun in one of Texan's favorite vacation & shopping spots!

We hope you visit Kerrville, enjoy the town/activities/the wonderful resilient residents and see how quickly this town has turned around an unexpected flooding disaster.

This area of the Hill Country is known for their 279+ wineries, shops, restaurants/bars, music, dancing, unique boutiques, large ranches, German heritage with fabulous bakeries/restaurants. Enjoy Texan's History, Heritage and Hospitality..........

Driving into Kerrville will remind you of the European countryside with rooftops "peeking" out of the trees in rolling hills. Guadalupe River meanders through Kerrville and is abuzz with people swimming, kayaking, biking, walking along the river trail.

Many amenities nearby & short drives to Canyon Lake for boating, Boerne (darling town!), San Antonio is less than an hour drive. Unique towns each offering Texas world-renowned hospitality to visitors in their communities.

Enjoy the beautiful decorations, music, lights, Market Plaza, shopping & ice skating rink in downtown Fredericksburg during your winter stay in Kerrville.

We maintain our home continually & each season, we schedule larger projects. This spring/summer we installed a new HVAC system, new floor tile in the master shower, new roof and new front/back gutters, We want to assure our guests are comfortable and enjoy their stay at our cottage. Thus sometimes we block our calendar to complete a project - however, we always welcome inquiries, just in case we can open dates that may be blocked for an upcoming project - we'll "flex" our project, if possible!

Welcome to another one of our unique cottages, homey, comfortable, warm - we look forward to having you as our guests.

We welcome extended-stay guests (30+ days & no lodging taxes), as we have at all of our cottages, since 2013. Niki

Stephen - thank you, we appreciate your review and recommendations, so we have the opportunity of making our home a little nicer for our guests and their needs. We had discussed making the "sitting room" into an office space as it is perfect and nice size. Thus we are looking for a desk/chair which will fit and be a comfortable working space. We hope your trip home was good and y'all arrived safely. D&N

Jill - thank you, there are so many deer in Kerrville and in our neighborhood. Glad you enjoyed watching them & they don't seem to be afraid of people:) We like having deer roam (wish they didn't like flowers so much) but it's nice having wildlife. Hope y'all had a safe trip home and you're welcome back anytime! David/Niki

The property is beautifully updated and maintained, large gathering area and open floor plan. Drive up appeal A!Master bedroom is especially spacious and private. The kitchen has everything you need for any kind of meal prep, appliances seemed new. We loved the interior, decor was an added pleasure to the cozy feeling. Each bedroom had a dedicated bathroom, all updated and lavishly built out. Backyard sitting area was private, but open. Yard was perfect for our little canine friend. Very well put together, made our trip perfectly relaxed. Thank you!

About the host

Hosted by Niki Parks

Host profile image
Homes have always been a "love" of mine, since middle-school :), looking at black/white photos of homes, circling the homes I wanted to buy, nationwide. My Mom would ask "what are you going to do with all of those houses?" Little did we know I would have the opportunity and the blessing to follow one of my dreams. Growing up very poor, in a large family, it never occurred to me that I was just "dreamin".

I/we enjoy looking, finding, purchasing and decorating each unique home. We have been welcoming guests (national & international) to our homes since 2013 in Colorado and Texas. It is my favorite "hobby" :)

I currently work full-time in the Healthcare Industry and prior to changing careers, I started up, owned/managed my company for many years, specializing in providing "Ambassadors" (staff) for conventions, tradeshows & special events, nationwide.

I look forward to welcoming guests to our newest addition "Pickled Pepper Cottage" and hope you will enjoy your stay in our home , your time in beautiful Hill Country of Texas and will jump at the chance to follow your "dreams".

Welcome :)
Niki

Why they chose this property

Close to downtown, river, golf course; 1960s remodeled home (one of my fav home eras), smaller with character, street appeal, with a little "spiffing" up projects planned. David and I enjoy working on the homes as well as decorating, thus we have "projects" planned for Pickled Pepper Cottage.

What makes this property unique

Located in beautiful Hill Country, Kerrville has many amenities to offer guests and close to unique areas, towns, activities which guests can enjoy. Wineries, excellent restaurants, music (nightly - somewhere close by), dancing, rivers, lakes, fishing, boating, hunting, biking, hiking, shopping, ranches, hour drive to San Antonio and 1.5 hours to Austin. Many beautiful places in between.

Come enjoy the hospitality of Texas and Texans - Take home a Texas "Star" to remind you of Texas and to follow your "Star" .
