  • Niki's Country Cottages - Oktoberfest is here! 20 minute drive to Fredericksburg where the fun has already begun - don't miss out on Texas Boot Stompin' fun in one of Texan's favorite vacation & shopping spots!

    We hope you visit Kerrville, enjoy the town/activities/the wonderful resilient residents and see how quickly this town has turned around an unexpected flooding disaster.

    This area of the Hill Country is known for their 279+ wineries, shops, restaurants/bars, music, dancing, unique boutiques, large ranches, German heritage with fabulous bakeries/restaurants. Enjoy Texan's History, Heritage and Hospitality..........

    Driving into Kerrville will remind you of the European countryside with rooftops "peeking" out of the trees in rolling hills. Guadalupe River meanders through Kerrville and is abuzz with people swimming, kayaking, biking, walking along the river trail.

    Many amenities nearby & short drives to Canyon Lake for boating, Boerne (darling town!), San Antonio is less than an hour drive. Unique towns each offering Texas world-renowned hospitality to visitors in their communities.

    Enjoy the beautiful decorations, music, lights, Market Plaza, shopping & ice skating rink in downtown Fredericksburg during your winter stay in Kerrville.

    We maintain our home continually & each season, we schedule larger projects. This spring/summer we installed a new HVAC system, new floor tile in the master shower, new roof and new front/back gutters, We want to assure our guests are comfortable and enjoy their stay at our cottage. Thus sometimes we block our calendar to complete a project - however, we always welcome inquiries, just in case we can open dates that may be blocked for an upcoming project - we'll "flex" our project, if possible!

    Welcome to another one of our unique cottages, homey, comfortable, warm - we look forward to having you as our guests.

    We welcome extended-stay guests (30+ days & no lodging taxes), as we have at all of our cottages, since 2013. Niki

Great get away!

My 2 daughters and I stayed here for a girls’ weekend and thoroughly enjoyed our stay!! We LOVED the fact that we each had our own bedroom and bathroom. The convenience of Fredericksburg only being a quick 20 min drive was also wonderful! House was clean and comfortable, and we felt safe during our stay! Would 10/10 stay here again!!!

Thanksgiving

My family used the house to host more family for the holiday. The house had plenty of space and was very clean. The only things that stood out for us is the walkway to the front door was not great for older guests so we all ended up walking in the mulch. Also two of the bathrooms are ensuite the third is not but the third bathroom is in the hallway. We would definitely book again.

Excellent House & Stay

I wish I could give 10 stars. The house was excellent and just what we needed in Kerrville for my son's wedding. The bedrooms were perfect and the master suite was just beautiful! The house was so comfortable and well-stocked! This kitchen had everything we would/could have needed. I had to decorate 125 cupcakes and had ample room to do so. The neighborhood was very quiet and pleasant. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. Our hosts were easy to contact and very helpful. Thank you so much!

A Comfortable House

I was quite pleased with how comfortable this house was. It is very roomy, especially the main bedroom even with the king size bed, a large dresser of drawers with a big screen tv, a closet, and two sitting chairs in it! There are two other rooms where one can sit and read (the living room which has a big screen tv and a separate room). The two back bedrooms each have their own bathrooms. The backyard is quite private. The neighborhood was very quiet. If you enjoy walking, this is a nice neighborhood to walk. One mile down the road is the Trailhead Beer Garden (a must visit) and the trailhead for the river trail. Lots of deer in the neighborhood, too! There were supposed to be three of us staying there for the Texas Woodcarvers Guild week but I was the only one able to make it. Next year we’ll all be there at this house.

Great place for our Girls Trip 2024

We had our girls trip to the area and stayed at the Cottage for four days. It was so clean and comfortable, and we found some little homey touches that we were't expecting. The best surprise was that the listing said that the bedrooms had a King, Queen, and Twin bed. They actually had a King and two Queen beds, so nobody had to cram into a twin. The instructions for check in and out were sent to me ahead of time as well as left out in the house for us to follow easily. The neighborhood was quet and peaceful, but it got a little tricky during school release hours, as there is a school close by and the traffic pattern and speed changes. We were conveniently located within a half hour of all of the places we wanted to see (Bandera, Fredericksburg, San Marcos), and we even found a little pub down the street with friendly people to meet and enjoy the nightlife with . Overall, we all made plans to come back again, and maybe even bring our hubbies.....
