Super VRBO in Downtown Kerrville and close to everything. The Owner, Barb, and her dog are welcoming and helpful. Very quiet and the back yard leads to a walking trail from the park.

The host and her dog were very friendly. You are very close to the river and can take a walk in the woods from your back door, or just watch deer and hummingbirds pass by. It is pretty small so I probably would only book for 2 with maybe a kid or two in sleeping bags. Please be aware that the back yard is on a steep hill toward the river.

The Blue Heron Cottage was the perfect place to stay for us. The peaceful backyard was the best place to begin my day with a cup of coffee. The amenities were exactly what we needed.

What an incredible place and location. The hike to the river is wonderful. And from there you can hike for miles. Although I tried fishing I didn't catch anything. Didn't matter because we came prepared with HEB trout fillets and some TX wine. The outdoor grill was great. The pictures don't do the place justice - the place is very clean and has everything. Can't say enough about it - just that I hope it's not booked when we want to come back.

The "Bird's Nest" cottage was clean, cozy and outfitted with any possible required supply. Barbara was easy to work with, attentive, very responsive and provided suggestions about the local area. The setting was nice with a couple of outdoor seating spots overlooking the slope to the river and a good spot for viewing deer and a variety of birds. We would highly recommend this location and would consider staying her again in the future!

I went with my adult daughter and appreciated the fold out sofa in the living room. Barbara didn’t forget any detail - we were comfortable and conveniently located to the river trail, Louise Hayes, and downtown. Would definitely stay again.

The highlight of the cottage is the back porch with birds, deer and other critters going about their day. Inside is clean and creative. It’s probably best for a couple or one person because the pull out means one person has less sleep comfort. But it was a wonderful getaway, with a wonderful host!

We enjoyed our stay at The Bird’s Nest. This is a nice little historic bungalow that is a few minutes drive from downtown Kerrville. The landscaping is immaculate and taking time to sit in the backyard was wonderfully relaxing. You are also very close to the Kerrville River Trail on the Guadalupe River. However, if you are tall, this may not be the bungalow for you. A short bed, short shower and short door to the bathroom made for some interesting situations. An older loveseat was the only semi-comfortable seating in the house. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay and enjoyed speaking with the owner. We did have to cut our stay short to only one night due to other engagements.

Back of property incorporates the nature preserve of the Guadalupe River. Great for exploring the river access under the watchful gaze of the local deer population. Paved trail lined with Cypress and Century old Oaks that starts at your front door. Nice well lit neighborhood with walkers, joggers and bikers that frequent the area. Bed was very comfortable. Owner has done an amazing job of resurrecting the property to modern standards but has retained much of the original construction charm.

This place was totally awesome. Me and my fiancé loved it here. This might be a good retirement place in the future. Would definitely stay here again. Wish I could stay longer...

This was the perfect location for us - in Kerrville for exploring the Hill Country in every direction and in this peaceful place by the Guadalupe. We timed every day to be home on the back porch in the early evening to watch birds feed and deer pass by. Barbara and her rescue wonder dog Jasper were wonderful hosts!

Perfect location for two. I loved staying right on the Guadalupe river. We were able to walk directly to the trails & walking distance to a very nice restaurant right on the river. It was a perfect view at sunset.

This is a cute little cottage, with the Guadalupe River greenbelt right behind the house. Access to the excellent riverside trail (paved, 10ft wide, and 5+ miles long) is steps away. The host, Barbara, is perfect.
5.0
This was our third time to stay at the Bird's Nest and as in the past, we had another great stay. Loved the fenced backyard for our dogs with a nice view where we got to see some deer. Barbara goes out of her way to make sure all is fine. Would definitely come back again.
