About the host

Hosted by Barbara Burton

Host profile image
I own a massage therapy office that is located between the two cottages. I am the self-proclaimed matriarch of massage therapy in Kerrville, as I was the first one here 20 years ago. Before becoming a massage therapist, I worked in construction and have subsequently rebuilt/renovated this property myself. As a riverfront property owner, I feel a strong sense of stewardship in maintaining the integrity of the land and the River.

Why they chose this property

I was fortunate to have purchased this riverfront property, 20 years ago, for my home. In 1997, I bought an historic building across the street, renovated it and it became my home. The 'Bird's Nest Guest Cottages' were renovated starting in November '08 and completed in May '09.

What makes this property unique

My guests have described how wonderful it is to be right in town, while at the same time having the peace, quiet and solitude of the country when you're out back. Breakfast items provided include coffee pot, juice, yogurt and pastries.
