Everything we wanted!

What a beautiful and relaxing place to stay! We enjoyed the quiet neighborhood, the cool, refreshing pool, the abundance of birds and flowers and the many deer just sauntering by in the neighborhood. It was a short drive to the farmer's market, shopping, the brewery and restaurants. The entire place was very comfortable. Looking forward to visiting Kerrville again - Carol's Cottage is the perfect place to stay!

Lovely and comfortable

We loved the house and the neighborhood. We're birders so the feeders there attracted lots of birds which definitely added to our enjoyment. The deer wandered the area and were nice to watch from the porch. Great stay!!

Great hosts and charming cottage

We enjoyed our stay in this cottage hosted by Carol. They live in the neighborhood and we enjoyed being welcomed into their space. The cottage is well set up and while small, we had everything we needed. It’s a quiet, clean, lovely place to stay. We recommend it for couples or singles.

Very clean nice place to stay

Parking wasn’t great and tv was only streaming so my husband had a hard time with that. The house was very nice and there were deer in the yards at times. We would stay there again. Much better than a hotel

Cozy Kerrville getaway

Carol's property is beautiful, and the pictures don't do it justice! The backyard was the perfect size for our small-medium dog. The interior of the cottage was super cozy, well appointed, and comfortable. We really enjoyed the pool as well! Highly recommend booking here and we hope to return in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Carol Triola

Joe and Carol Triola and have been in Kerrville for 36 years. We moved from Houston to raise our children in this wonderful town. Joe is a retired Real Estate Inspector and chief grandpa and Carol is a Licensed Professional Counselor. We are well known around Kerrville and take great pride in our reputations, for being ethical, hard working people you can count on.

Why they chose this property

We built the cottage (2014) as an addition to our property, and so we could continue to enjoy visitors. The Methodist Encampment location makes it an especially appealing vacation home for those who appreciate esthetics and/or are visiting one of the many fun festivals in Kerrville or Light on The Hill for Emmaus retreats, or other events.

What makes this property unique

We love the coziness of the home, as well as it's preserved wood and stone. It has a 100 year old antique pine counter top in the kitchen, oak floors and native field stone on the house. As always, it is "the cleanest house in town". The location is close to everything, quiet and feels like you are in the woods, 5 minutes from town.
