In the perfect place

The 6 of us had a Wonderful stay at Starkey House! The host decorated everything with USA flags in honor of our 2 Veterans, making our stay memorable. We enjoyed the fire pit and the hot tub relaxed us for peaceful nights. The local deer wandering through the neighborhood were a surprise! And the river walk right down the street was perfect!

Cute, clean and comfy!

This house was perfect! Loved the collected decorations and attention to detail. The beds and pillows were very comfortable and everything was very clean. We only stayed for one night but would love to come back and stay longer. There was a great area to hang out outside with fire pit and dartboards. Highly recommend, we will be back!

Wonderful gem of a house in a great location!

The Starkey house is a great house with all the amenities a family needs/wants. We rented the whole house for our family of 4 and used everything at the house including the hot tub, fire pit for s’mores, washers, and darts. Nothing is left undone at the property, and comminucating with Keri was a breeze. She provides a list of fun things to do/places to eat in the area, and we took advantage of her suggestions. We are an active family so we took the bikes on property to the trail and we also ran on the trail, right by the house. We tubed the Medina River (close to Bandera) and drove to Canyon Lake to tube the Guadalupe as well. We also went horseback riding at a ranch outside Bandera. Overall, we had a great vacation exploring the hill country and just doing things and experiencing the culture of Kerrville and surrounding areas. This property is a gem and did not disappoint at all. A major plus for us is they accept pets because we travel with our 2 pups. Definitely check out the Starkey house! It’s artfully decorated, and it had everything we needed!

The Carter-Marshall stay at the Starkey House

My husband and I, along with our canine family, had a lovely time staying at 201 Starkey Street. It was convenient to the River Trail and all the major cross streets in Kerrville. We spent most of our time exploring the River Trail and the surrounding towns. The bikes were a plus for my husband and he did much of his explorations on his own. The dart boards were appreciated as well. The home had everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable, (as we are accustomed to Sleep Number beds.). So that is saying a lot! I slept like a baby there. Our dogs enjoyed being in a new place and we had no problems with the fenced yard the owners provided. Since we are scouting out potential hill country retirement destinations, we will definitely return to the Starkey House. My husband slept in "The get Away" and enjoyed his man cave immensely. Keri is a wonderful host and answered all my questions perfectly. Thank you Keri and Patrick.

Cute house, excellent service.

The house was very comfortable and nicely distributed. It has a fun back and front area for play and hanging out. Walked the trails just a couple of blocks behind the house and the kids and dogs enjoyed it very much. The owner was very sweet and her customer service was great.

Five stars! Stayed here for a Bachelorette weekend

This property owner leaves no detail unnoticed, this home was very clean and beautiful. Every bed and even pullout couch was comfortable with memory foam mattresses, soft pillows and bedding. They provided a cute message board that they customized for the bachelorette, games to keep us entertained, and even had prepared the fire pit for us to just light and enjoy. The property is already perfect, So any future additions are just an extra added bonus :)

Perfect Birthday Weekend!

We knew the Starkey House was going to be amazing but we never could have guessed just how much our expectations would be exceeded! No detail was left unnoticed. Everything we needed for a full weekend away was made available for for us! The outside space was perfect for us to sit around and enjoy drinks and play games. The bedrooms could not have been cozier, everyone in my party had the best sleep! We cannot wait to visit this property again. Owners Keri and Patrick truly went out of their way to ensure our stay was top notch!

About the host

Hosted by Keri Wilt

FROM YOUR HOSTS: We love our Hill Country Community and own a popular restaurant, wine & craft beer bar in Kerrville’s Historic Downtown District called Grape Juice. Locals refer to GJ as Kerrville’s Living Room because of the warmth and hospitality found inside, but we simply strive to be what we call “5-star in Flip Flops”. So come as you are, dress up or dress down, get outside your box to sip something new, and make sure to order the brussel sprouts. Reservations Are Strongly Encouraged.

NEED HELP? Being foodies and travel junkies ourselves...we know all of the great spots to eat, drink, and experience our corner of the Hill Country to it’s fullest, so feel free to reach out for suggestions!

Why they chose this property

This newly renovated 1950’s bungalow is perfectly located just steps from the Kerrville River Trail, the Guadalupe River and mere blocks from Historic Downtown filled with coffee shops, cafes, & shopping and boasts some pretty awesome amenities.
