First time stay but we all agree it’s where we want to be any time we’re in the Kerrville area; clean, quiet, comfortable beds, nice kitchen, beautifully decorated, a highlight of our visit to the hill country.
We have stayed many places in the Kerrville area over the last several years. This is nicest and best equipped property we have stayed in.5 stars across the board.
Beautiful house in a great location and extremely clean inside and out . Host was super responsive and accommodating. Our kids loved the games and toys provided by the host. Would not consider the cottage secluded as described in the property description however for us, we were perfectly fine with the location as it was quite enough yet close to amenities like restaurants and the grocery store.
Visited Catalina Cottage with friends from out of state who had never been to TX. It was a great jumping off point for day trips to San Antonio, Austin, Fredericksburg, Wimberley, and Luckenbach. The cottage was very clean with upscale linens and towels. The kitchen is well equipped. The house had plenty of room for two couples to have privacy with the split bedroom design. The screened front porch was bigger than it appears online with seating and a table. The cottage sits back from the road, so very private. We didn’t use the fire pit or gas grill, but both were clean and ready for use. The owner was friendly and helpful and easy to contact. Kerrville is a nice size town with plenty of stores and restaurants as well. Would definitely recommend.
This home has been taken care of. The layout was nice, the location felt secluded and it was quiet. Compared to many places we have stayed, this one felt much more like a home, very comfortable. The kitchen has everything you would need and then some. While we didn't cook, it was nice to see so many utensils and cookware available. There are so many little extra touches that are provided here you just don't see at other rentals. This is a place we would stay again.
Cary put alot of thought, care & love into making her home a beautiful place to stay. The location was amazing & just a hop, skip & a jump to everything in town.
We were in the area to visit friends who were camping nearby. On line this house checked all the boxes I needed for myself, wife and another couple. Split bedroom plan worked well for us. This house was spotless and was stocked very good. Every thing I needed was there. I asked one question about a fan control and it was answered quickly. I will stay again when I’m in the area.I can recommend this house to anyone.
We absolutely loved staying in this beautiful hill country home! The screened porch was my favorite! I highly recommend this home if visiting Kerrville!
We stayed here the night before picking up our daughter at Camp Mystic. The house was very comfortable and clean, in a little neighborhood tucked away just south of town. The hostess was very communicative and responsive, and we will definitely stay here again.
Our second stay at this wonderful house. Perfect for couples getaway. Very well maintained in quiet neighborhood. Great host. We'll definitely be back again.
A friend and I stayed for one quick night to pick up our daughters from camp. It was a beautifully peaceful setting and the cottage is adorable, very well appointed and very clean. I’d stay again in a heartbeat.
