About this property

The Painter's Cabin - Hill Country Charm in Eclectic Methodist Encampment

The Painter's Cabin is a warm, welcoming and comfortable home situated in the unique and historic Methodist Encampment neighborhood. As you sit on the patio enjoying the gardens and native wildlife, you will get the feeling of being at a retreat, even though the heart of Kerrville is just minutes away. You will see deer wandering through the yard every day! The home boasts artful craftsmanship in every detail and is well furnished and stocked with practical items to make your stay as enjoyable, convenient and homey as possible.

You enter The Painter's Cabin from the front patio into a bright living space that adjoins a dining area and a well-stocked kitchen. Also off of the main living space is The bedroom with a queen-size bed. The Painter's cabin sleeps four with the couch in the living room converting to a bed. Extra linens will be available for the convertible bed. There is sufficient parking for 2 cars in the rock driveway. In the living room, there is a TV with Spectrum TV service for channel flipping, and it also has some free Roku streaming channels set up. Guests may also load their own subscription channels such as Netflix or you may plug in your own devices using an HDMI cable. The wifi is very good.

If you venture outdoors, there's even more to enjoy. Right out the front door is a wonderful patio with a table and seating, a great space for relaxing, having your morning coffee, reading, visiting, or having a meal or cocktails. The patio includes a small fire pit for guests to enjoy with wood available for purchase nearby. The yard is newly landscaped with mostly native, edible and medicinal plants, and it's common to see many birds, squirrels, deer, and occasionally other wildlife visiting the property. There is also a table and seating under the trees in the side yard.

One in a Million
We have had many experiences with short term rentals, and this sweet little place was among the best! From the thoughtful touches (art supplies to use, snacks, extra linens, crystal glassware) to the peace and quiet and the daily yard visits from deer, we will not soon forget this place. The authentic vintage gleaming floors and unique artistic touches made us never want to leave. Thank you, thank you for making this special retreat available for our getaway. We will be back!

Great Host, lovely home
We love this house! It is sweet and cozy, and the neighbors are friendly. The home is well stocked and cleaned, and the host is very communicative and accommodating. We look forward to coming back every year. Also, a mama deer left her new baby at the back door for a while and we babysat while she went to eat!

About the host

Hosted by Stephanie Perry

Host profile image
I grew up in Kerrville, Texas and am happy to offer a few outstanding vacation rentals where my guests can simply relax or launch from to explore all the Hill Country has to offer. My parents, the home owners, are well known locally as artists, craftsmen and for their work in restoring some of Kerrville's most significant historic properties, and they have beautifully renovated these vacation cabins in recent years.

Why they chose this property

My family loves the Methodist Encampment neighborhood of Kerrville. It is home! Over the years, my parents have lived in this eclectic neighborhood and remodeled many homes here, some dating back to the 1920's and 1930's. The Methodist church used to own all of the neighborhood, and the buildings were all retreats, cabins, cottages, parsonages, etc. Over the years, many of the homes have been remodeled as permanent residences. The neighborhood is a nice mix of old and new, nestled in the hillside, with native limestone rock work on the homes and terraces. The windy streets are popular with walkers who enjoy the shade of the canopies of trees over the roads. It's common to see neighbors out visiting or having a meal or drinks together on a patio.

What makes this property unique

The Painter's Cabin has a brilliant blend of beauty and functionality. While it feels like a retreat, the Heart of Kerrville is just minutes away.
