Charming Carriage House

Enjoyed our stay at the Carriage House. The owners were precious and we loved visiting with them. They were extremely accommodating and the house was so cute with its unique touches. We also enjoyed the nice little walk down to the river. We definitely plan to stay again when back in the area!

Accommodating & Excellent

Excellent stay at an amazing property. Ray & Carolyn were very accommodating allowing us to change our dates due to family priorities. The property and cottage are amazing. Easy to access, well appointed and decorated in a French style that’s second to none. Truly a refreshing and wonderful stay hosted by very generous, accommodating and kind hosts. Highly recommend!

Such a beautiful home!

Our visit was short and a busy one that we didn’t even get a chance to meet Mr. Ray the host. but he was very responsive to our check-in details to make sure we didn’t get lost or if we had any questions or concerns about our stay. but we sure loved the guest house!! it was so private and spacious for us to stay at! We loved everything about it and specially how close it is to town! We sure will come back to stay another time if it’s available on next visit to kerrville!

All we can say is EXCELLENT about everything! Ray is such a sweet and gracious host. The house was perfect for our mini family reunion with my mother and myself in one room and my aunt and uncle in another. We had a great time and slept so comfortably. Thank you again, Mr. Ray.

Eclipse viewing trip

Our host was wonderful. He met us when we arrived and gave us a tour of the carriage house as well as of his property. He brought us eclipse glasses. He recommended excellent places to eat. The carriage house was lovely and very convenient for us. And it was only about a five minute walk from his backyard to the Guadalupe riverbank and adjacent open field dog park. Overall, everything was delightful.

Carolyn and Ray are such great hosts. The property is beautiful and the cottage is decorated so thoughtfully! We enjoyed our stay. Wish we could have had more time to explore the river and sit outside, but visiting grandbabies was our top priority! Thanks for everything.

Excellent. A fun and relaxing experience.

We wanted to explore the Texas Hill Country, and the barn house turned out to be the perfect location to work from. Thank you Ray! The house just immediately felt like home; although, I'm not sure our real home is quite as nice or interesting. The unique house is tastefully decorated, well-furnished, patio space everywhere, personal touches galore, comfortable arrangements, private, secure, easy access, great hosts, serene views..... This is the place to be for visiting the Hill Country and Kerrville. Great experience. Highly recommend.

Cozy & beautiful house

We were impressed with the beautiful furnishings and decor in the house. The comfy outdoor areas allowed us to enjoy the beauty of the hill country and we got to see deer running across the field. The property is private with a security gate and we felt very safe and at home. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Cozy & Secure Carriage House

This place is a hidden gem! Upon arrival we were very impressed with the iron gate. Knowing that not just anyone could get in was reassuring. The house is beautifully decorated and had a very cozy feel to it. Loved the wooden beamed ceilings, the patio area, and the large roomy kitchen. We highly recommend!
