You'll have private access to the entire house and yard. Plenty of parking in the driveway. Enjoy our outdoor area's with a fun game of Ping Pong or Corn Hole or relax by the fire pit and enjoy a glass of wine in front of our custom Blue Heron mural painted by a local artist.

Once you arrive and enter the house you'll find our "Tech " center which will help guide you to great restaurants, fun things to do, and you will have access to tons of videos that will inform you on how to use everything in the house, so you get the most out of your stay. You'll also be emailed a link to our Digital Guidebook before your arrival.
The Blue Heron Cottage is just a few blocks from historic downtown Kerrville. We often just walk or jog down to our favorite coffee shop, PAX Coffee for a latte and scone in the mornings after our run on the River Trail. There is so much beauty to be seen here in Kerrville.

The neighborhood is older, like 1920's older, so you'll see some homes in need of repair and some that are beautifully refreshed. In the early mornings or around sunset you can sit on the front porch and watch the deer stroll down the block.
Guests will be provided with a personal door code that can be accessed via key pad or app on your smart device. You'll receive emails leading up to your stay will all the details of the house, house rules and what to expect once you arrive, and what our safety precautions are for our guests.

Anyone wishing to stay longer than 30 days, please reach out to us for availability and possible discounts.

No photography or filming for commercial purposes allowed without prior written authorization.

No events without prior written authorization.

Once you arrive, feel free to park in the driveway. There is room enough for 2-3 cars in the drive, if parked behind each other. The gate into the back yard should remain closed. This helps keep the deer out.

From the moment you open the door with your smart phone you'll notice the large sparkling clean rooms, with attention to every detail, from the extra-ordinary luxurious bathrooms, to the custom built 90 year old barn door, and hand crafted, locally sourced, Cypress coffee bar. Dimmers on all the lights and remotes on all the fans to set your mood. No detail left unturned.

Take your pick from the romantic aire of Bedroom 1 to the modern chic splash of Bedroom 2 with French Doors that lead out to the back porch and your outdoor experience.

Once outside in the back yard discover an incredible hand painted-by a local artist, Kerrville themed mural on the side of the Game Barn. Play corn-hole, grill some steaks or sit around the fire pit with a glass of Kerr County wine while making S'mores. You'll never want to leave.

We want you to remember your stay here in Kerrville and to continue to make the Blue Heron Cottage your go to stay location.
We are so close to town that you could walk if you think a mile is no big deal. However, if you prefer to drive there are plenty of parking spaces and it never seems to be an issue. There are NOT many Uber's in town, so if you are going out for some adult beverages, please have a sober driver, or call a cab.

Beautiful house
First of all, the town of Kerrville is a quaint town and a relaxing place to visit. The Blue Heron is a great house that has been so well remodeled. The decor is amazing and plenty of room in this 2/2. This is our second time to stay in this house as it is such a great property. I love the backyard with the cornhole pit on the side and the fire pit to relax and gather in the evening.

About the host

Hosted by Erin Truslow

Host profile image
Welcome to Finish Line Properties. Tom and Erin (your hosts) are avid Triathlete and fell in love with the Kerrville are through the annual Kerrville Triathlon weekend. After coming here for about 10 years to race and ride our bikes we decided this was the place to purchase a vacation home. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We love being so close to downtown and the Kerrville Urban Trail on the Guadalupe river. It's just a quick jog or walk to go for a long run along the river, or grab a coffee at Pax Coffee & Goods. We bought the home sight unseen, and when we first got our eyes on this home we knew we could make it shine and bring out it's true self. The home is inspired by the beautiful nature we see on our runs along the river. So take a walk and hopefully you'll get a glimpse of a Great Blue Heron doing some fishing.

What makes this property unique

Every detail taken into consideration. Stay, play or relax. You can do it all at the Blue Heron Cottage.
