Annie's River Cottage is located in Center Point, Texas overlooking the Guadalupe River. Secluded property in the beautiful Hill Country. Guests have access to 600 feet of the river right outside the back door. A Texas Ranger originally built the Cottage in 1890 for his family. The present owner bought the house from the Ranger's last surviving daughter, Annie, who lived in the house for 99 years! Annie's River Cottage has one private bedroom with a king-size bed and private bath and an open room with two twin beds and a second bath. The lovely sun room has two sets of French doors, which provide guests with beautiful views of the river from the inside, just outside the doors is a large patio in which to sit and enjoy your morning coffee or a glass of wine under the stars in the evening. The owner has furnished the Cottage with period pieces distinct to the hill county. The Cottage retains the flavor of 1900s Hill Country living with features such as a claw foot tub and a wraparound front porch. This is the perfect Cottage for a weekend retreat to just unwind and get back to a slower time. Just down the road in Comfort you can enjoy the Wineries such as William Chris Vineyards, Grape Creek, Bending Branch and Newsom just to name a few. This is truly a Hidden Gem.

We had stayed here before, so that should tell you all you need to know. The best part is sitting on the patio watching the river and wildlife. The house is like staying in a museum , so many neat antiques and furniture. They should tell the armadillo about quiet time, it got under the porch and made a racket from 2 to 4 a.m. The owner was very responsive to problems. The air didn't work and he had someone out to fix it the same day. The rental Co. said there was no Wifi, but there was and also streaming tv. There is so much to do in the area you will never see or do it all.

Return visitor.....we love this place
Shopping for a stay in this area we saw A’s Cottage
And on checking it out it met all our hopes
Staying there was even better
Renovated rustic to perfection
Great escape for us
Enjoyed the area, restaurants
We were at home.
We absolutely loved our stay! We were a little confused with how to access the gate (we thought there would be an actual key pad), but the Property Manager was very quick to respond and help. We hope to return! This truly is an adorable and very relaxing space!
Accommodations were sufficient for a small group- would be nice if there was a curtain or doors for privacy in second “bedroom” .
The river is private but challenging to get to-

It was so very relaxing and peaceful. It was nice to see all of the deer, racoon and birds.
This was surprisingly quiet place even though we were literally in town. Loved watching the deer and humming birds. Our family got exactly what we were looking for in this little historic house.
We would surely love to go back another time. Thank you for sharing this house with us.

I LOVED Annie's Farmhouse! Very quiet and peaceful and we were surrounded by LOTS of deer! Loved watching them from the front porch. The house was very clean and so cute! Would definitely stay again!
We were a little nervous when there were no reviews on the site, but we were delightfully surprised when we arrived. Beautifuly restored cabin, they really paid attention to the details. The property has beautiful views of the Guadalupe River and lots of wildlife to watch. We woke up to many deer and wild turkey in the front pasture. Would definitely recommend!
This beautiful old home is exactly what we needed to unplug. No television helps too. The deer are abundant, the river is relaxing and the location is perfect for venturing out into the Texas Hill Country.
I was aching for a quiet weekend retreat away from all screens and devices, and this charming farmhouse was sweet perfection. We thoroughly enjoyed all of the quaint, vintage farmhouse furnishings and spent the weekend exploring every inch of the property. Finding arrowheads, cooling off in the river, watching the dozens of deer grazing the property, enjoying the sunset on the porch swing, reading, playing games and puzzles...it really was ideal. The beds were comfy, the towels were plush, and there were several small towns in the surrounding area to visit and grab a bite and do some antiquing, which is just our speed. We can't wait to come back.
We enjoyed our time at Annie's. It's a quaint little cabin that evokes a bygone era, complete with working windmill. It was comfortable, had substantial privacy, and was a great spot for casual walks/hikes. I would recommend potential visitors check out contemporary river flow measurements if you are going because of access to the water. The Guadalupe has been reduced to a chain of puddles, which is likely the new norm. Even so, we found the privacy and solitude to be worth the trip.
Pros: location on river, no neighbors close, new wi-fi and tv
lot of interesting antiques in house, center of hill country lots to do, good motorcycling in any direction
Cons: would be nice to have better privacy for the second bedroom for adults, even a curtain. Lot of Things (junk) outside, some people might find charming?

Liked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy
Great "Bones" on the river
Pros: Close to Comfort, on the river. Nice renovation. Set back from road. Nice outside property. Great back story of previous owner. Cool layout of house. Liked locked front gate (see below).
Cons: Mixed neighborhood, surprisingly unclean inside. Struggled to find the heat control (behind door - should of asked).

This was EXACTLY what me and my family were looking for to getaway for a nice Christmas escape for a few days. We brought a little tree and put it up, baked Christmas cookies, played board games, and "unplugged" for a few days and it was perfect! There is wi-fi available if you want/need to stay connected, and a small TV you can plug in and use your streaming options, but we left it unplugged the entire time. The property was amazing, and exactly as described. We sat on the front porch rocking chairs each morning and early evening and counted upwards of 40 deer coming to the 2 feeders about 50 yards away from the front porch. We took walks all around the property, including down by the river. We also took a day trip to Fredericksburg the day after Christmas. It's about a 30 minute drive. The beds were comfy, the kitchen stocked with everything we needed, and plenty of seating and space for the 3 of us. PERFECT!!
