Great Property, Even Greater Host

The cabin is very cozy and generally comfortable. The location of the property is outstanding, on a wooded lot that fronts on the river. It's perfectly quiet and gorgeous. The kitchen was well-appointed and easy to cook in. The bathroom is small but well laid out and convenient. Our only minor complaint was that the bed was very old and needed to be replaced. When we mentioned this to the host, she was immediately understanding and said she would invest in something new soon. The host was out of this world! Friendly, generous with her time without being obtrusive, and always available to answer a question or make a helpful suggestion. We also found her great fun to hang out with. We would DEFINITELY stay here again when we're back in Kerrville.

Super VRBO in Downtown Kerrville

Super VRBO in Downtown Kerrville and close to everything. The Owner, Barb, and her dog are welcoming and helpful. Very quiet and the back yard leads to a walking trail from the park.

Great cottage, great location

The host and her dog were very friendly. You are very close to the river and can take a walk in the woods from your back door, or just watch deer and hummingbirds pass by. It is pretty small so I probably would only book for 2 with maybe a kid or two in sleeping bags. Please be aware that the back yard is on a steep hill toward the river.

About the host

Hosted by Barbara Burton

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.
