About this property

Cottage by the River ~ Sunset Suite

Circa 1924, this cozy cottage sits on the riverbanks of the beautiful Guadalupe River right downtown Kerrville, with immediate access to Kerrville's top attractions. Located right across the street from the Kerrville Nature Center, guests are steps away from the Kerrville River Trail, walking distance to top restaurants including Grape Juice, Thai Ocha, Francisco's, and Yeo Bo's, as well as several shopping boutiques, antique stores, and Pax Coffee & Goods. Spend the day kayaking, paddle-boarding, biking, fishing, swimming, or exploring Kerrville's parks, museums, and golf courses. Relax on the private riverfront, or take a short 30 minute drive to Fredericksburg, Comfort ("an antique town"), Bandera (the "Cowboy Capital of the World"), or Lost Maples State Park. This centralized location gives guests access to all that the Texas Hill Country has to offer! Please read the full PROPERTY DETAILS listed below.

Awesome Anniversary

My husband and I stayed here for our anniversary and we loved every part of this place. I’ve already recommended this place to a couple of people and hope they stay. I was nervous after reading the reviews about being near a Main Street but we hardly noticed it. I will definitely bring my kids back to stay at the bigger cottage next time!

We enjoyed our stay in The cottage by the river. It was clean and had everything we needed. While it is next to a street the traffic and noise were minimal. We would stay there again.

Great location and amenities.

We spent a week in the Sunset Suite and were very happy/satisfied with our stay. JT and Trissa were wonderful hosts and made us feel at home. The cottages's close proximity to the river trails, restaurants and grocery store was great. Overall our stay was very enjoyable and relaxing.

Easy and beautiful stay!

The property is well thought out and beautifully maintained. The location was perfect for us to explore Kerrville. We visited with friends and made use of the outdoor seating areas; taking in lovely view with our fine conversation. Loved the access to the River Trail and the restaurants within walking distance. Another visit is in the works for Sunset Cottage. Thank you for a great stay.

Simply Perfect!

My daughter and I loved our stay while in Kerrville. The cute little house was perfect for our needs. It has been beautifully updated and the grounds/amenities was an added bonus! The location was amazing as well. Loved our stay. (Not a problem for us, but there are about 5 steps to go up in order to enter the property.)

Perfect weekend at the “sweet” sunrise suite!!

Our Weekend at this house was so fun. It is in a perfect location. Right on the River. Has chairs to sit in and watch ducks and geese along with other wildlife. The house was clean and well equipped. It is also right across the street from the Nature Center and the walking path along the River. I can’t wait to plan our next trip here!

Business trip

This is an adorable and very comfortable place to stay. I was there for business. The bed is great! Great coffee maker. Nice wine glasses. The details are nice and feels very trendy. I think the front welcome mat needs to be replaced and the front porch chairs repainted but those are very minor complaints. I would stay here again.

Great weekend getaway

Cottage by the River is a super nice place right on the river! This is our second time staying here. There are 2 individual cottages in one building. The one we stayed in this time is small but perfect for 2 people. Very cozy with a fireplace. There is also several outdoor areas to sit and enjoy wildlife. A group of deer visited Avery day. There were quite a few different birds also. Will definitely come back.

The atmosphere is so relaxing. People our friendly. So much to do just at the cottage; biking, walking, kayaking, fishing. You don't have to even leave the cottage. Great food to eat along the Guadalupe River. Definelty going back. Oh and this was our 2nd trip to Cottage by the Sunset. Can't wait for the 3rd trip already :)

Wonderful respite!

This cottage is darling. It’s well decorated and appointed with every convenience. First aid kit, fancy dish soap, board games are all there. The outdoor space is gorgeous. There are multiple areas if there are visitors at the two other rentals. My favorite part is the location. Yes, the road outside is busy. I’d be careful with small children but it’s so convenient. I borrowed the super cute bike available. You can ride along the river on the safe path. It’s a gorgeous park. I had no car for 5 days and found it so easy yo get to restaurants, stores and the hospital.

Short Getaway in Cozy Cottage

The cottage was great! Right next to the river, the nature center and a beautiful trail for easy walking/biking. HEB down the street gives you everything you need for a cozy, chill stay. Listing was accurate - and yes you can hear cars going by, but it didn't bother us and the fan provided really helps if it is an issue. We did run into a few quirks (the lock on the door didn't seem to lock consistently from the outside and the stovetop sometimes didn't work/dial numbers were loose on the oven dial, so it made cooking interesting). But overall would recommend if you're going to be out and about most of the time and just need a place to crash or need a nice little retreat for a few days.

A little overpriced.

This property is a bit smaller than expected. It is right on the road so you an hear daily traffic. Bathroom is tiny. For the price and fees, its more than a local hotel stay.
