About this cottage rental
The Painter's Cabin is a warm, welcoming and comfortable home situated in the unique and historic Methodist Encampment neighborhood. As you sit on the patio enjoying the gardens and native wildlife, you will get the feeling of being at a retreat, even though the heart of Kerrville is just minutes away. You will see deer wandering through the yard every day! The home boasts artful craftsmanship in every detail and is well furnished and stocked with practical items to make your stay as enjoyable, convenient and homey as possible.
You enter The Painter's Cabin from the front patio into a bright living space that adjoins a dining area and a well-stocked kitchen. Also off of the main living space is The bedroom with a queen-size bed. The Painter's cabin sleeps four with the couch in the living room converting to a bed. Extra linens will be available for the convertible bed. There is sufficient parking for 2 cars in the rock driveway. In the living room, there is a TV with Spectrum TV service for channel flipping, and it also has some free Roku streaming channels set up. Guests may also load their own subscription channels such as Netflix or you may plug in your own devices using an HDMI cable. The wifi is very good.
If you venture outdoors, there's even more to enjoy. Right out the front door is a wonderful patio with a table and seating, a great space for relaxing, having your morning coffee, reading, visiting, or having a meal or cocktails. The patio includes a small fire pit for guests to enjoy with wood available for purchase nearby. The yard is newly landscaped with mostly native, edible and medicinal plants, and it's common to see many birds, squirrels, deer, and occasionally other wildlife visiting the property. There is also a table and seating under the trees in the side yard.
The Painter's Cabin is also in a great location for accessing all that the town of Kerrville and the Texas Hill Country has to offer:
In less than a 5 minute drive, you can reach grocery stores (H-E-B and Walmart Super Center), shopping, restaurants, the Guadalupe River, The River Trail, parks, and the Salvation Army Kroc Center (for sports, exercise and recreation) and churches.

Kerrville is home to some outstanding festivals including the Kerrville Folk Festival, Kerrville Fall Music Festival and Kerrville Chalk Festival, as well as some trade fairs.

Perfect little house!
5.0 / 5.0
This was our 3rd stay at The Painter’s’ Cabin, and we are always happy with cleanliness, privacy, and thoughtful inclusions.
5.0 / 5.0
Everything exceeded our expectations! We were already stoked by the photos alone of the property, but upon arrival we were blown away. Pictures don't do the cabin justice. Once inside, the cabin genuinely radiated a true "Texas Hill Country" appeal. I grew up in the area so I feel I can truly be a judge of character of the Texas vibe.
Stephanie was a phenomenal host and made the experience that much better. Out of 50+ vacation properties I've rented in the past 10 years, Stephanie truly has been the best. Thank you, so so much! Hospitality is definitely her thing. She makes guests feel so important, welcomed and comfortable, that I would probably rent a cardboard box as long as she was hosting it! :D

Awesome place, nice neighbors, cute houses. Great view up the hill, good walking. Because we cooked a lot I should have booked a place with a bigger kitchen but that’s on me. Perfect place for a getaway.

We have had many experiences with short term rentals, and this sweet little place was among the best! From the thoughtful touches (art supplies to use, snacks, extra linens, crystal glassware) to the peace and quiet and the daily yard visits from deer, we will not soon forget this place. The authentic vintage gleaming floors and unique artistic touches made us never want to leave.
Thank you, thank you for making this special retreat available for our getaway. We will be back!

We love this house! It is sweet and cozy, and the neighbors are friendly. The home is well stocked and cleaned, and the host is very communicative and accommodating. We look forward to coming back every year.
Also, a mama deer left her new baby at the back door for a while and we babysat while she went to eat!

This is my second stay in one of Stephanie’s properties. It was a beautiful home; the Methodist Encampment is a perfect place if you are looking for rest, peace, quiet, birds, deer. Perfect for writing, praying, reading; could not ask for a more perfect place. I love Stephanie’s little touches: snacks, water, rubber bands (didn’t think to bring chip clips, but she had me covered!) Stephanie is always very quick to reply to my messages.

Hill Country Charm
Adorable vintage cottage in delightful Kerrville historic neighborhood. Beautifully decorated with period furniture and good Texan art , with all modern conveniences. Highly recommend.
5.0 / 5.0
Amazing little piece of The hill country!
We absolutely loved our stay here! First time ever to stay in a rental instead of a hotel and it was awesome. We loved the painter cabin look and all the amenities it offered. So much better than a hotel room stay and we got to see a hidden piece of Kerrville!
Enough sleep space and the opportunity for us to eat at the location. Clean, accommodating for all! We will definitely be back!
5.0 / 5.0
Quiet solitude near everything!
This historic, quiet, charming and unique location called Methodist Encampment is a hidden treasure located less than 10 minutes drive from Kerrville restaurants, HEB, Walmart, etc., etc.
For just the two of us, we loved staying in the Painter's Cottage, but the owners also have recently remodeled many larger properties nearby if your next Texas Hill Country vacation needs to include mama, daddy, Mary Ellen, Elizabeth, Jim Bob, John-Boy plus a few extra cousins.

Friendly, cozy, and warm
We loved this property and will return. Stephanie was very helpful, and had great suggestions. We enjoyed Kerrville and many of the surrounding towns. The Painters Cottage was fantastic, cozy, and stocked with all the items we needed. Thank you for a great vacation which also was a anniversary celebration for us.

Cute house!
Love the house, it was cute, clean and grateful they had a binder of things to do and places to eat. First time in Fredericksburg, so the information was helpful.
Communication was fast and courteous with owners. Would stay there again!

Just as described. Tranquil neighborhood and setting, great getaway
The listing matches the experience, so don’t worry about that at all. The neighborhood and surroundings are quiet and beautiful. The property is well cared for and managed. We asked a few questions prior to arrival about places to eat and gluten free options - replies were always detailed and prompt. Arranging to have flowers delivered before we arrived was easy and flawless. Highly recommend this location!

Great place to stay in Kerrville!
It is a very nice, older house that has been nicely upgraded and the owners keep in great shape. There is sense of history everywhere in and outside. We especially appreciated attention to details by the owners. It is little things like bottled water in the fridge, snacks, basic cooking supplies, ground coffee etc, that made it click for us in a way not too many other places do. We are thankful to the owners and would strongly recommend this property!

Terrific charming cottage
Everything you need to enjoy yourselves. Two-burner stove and both microwave and convection oven. Lots of solid supplies not all rentals have. More to the point, this was a comfy weekend getaway.

Great Christmas Getaway
I stayed at the Painter’s Cabin for 5 weeks over the Christmas holiday. Super cute and comfortable place with everything I needed for a long term stay. The neighborhood is very unique - feels like a small mountain town. Quiet and restful, but still close to restaurants, shopping and the river. I hope to return soon!

A perfect stay at the perfect place
When looking at the site online it looked great so we booked. When arriving we were blown away. Such a beautiful cabin inside and out. Perfect location too. It’s was very tucked away but also 6-7 minutes away from everywhere we wanted to go. We loved it and we will be back again and again.

Excellent stay, nice location!!
Painters corner was very cozy, owner was very respectful of our privacy and was a great hostess. The neighborhood was very safe and quite. A perfect place to get away from the big city. We plan on coming back soon.

Weekend Getaway
The cottage was great and comfortable. The neighborhood is charming and great for evening walks, and deer roam around. Our only qualms would be the shower is kinda small. Overall, it was amazing & would stay again.
5.0 / 5.0
Really nice going back in 2 months.
Very responsive management (family) who lives nearby in case of emergency. Older home that was updated in the nicest way. Great hideaway for a few days to explore Kerrville or Fredericksburg. We did both. Did not give 5 stars on “listing” because it was understated. Would go again, safe area. Nice experience. Exceeded expectations. Experienced traveler here.

Extended Weekend
The home has everything you would need with lots of good restaurants, cafes, vintage shops, and used book stores close by. The host, Stephanie, was amazing - she goes above and beyond for her guests and is super easy to communicate with. We really wished we can stay longer, but had a wonderful time enjoying the hill country! Hope to return one day!

You will enjoy this place.
Great for 2 people in secluded neighborhood that is very reminiscent of Europe with winding hillside streets. The outdoor sitting area is excellent way to enjoy the day or night. Interesting artwork and artifacts inside. And of course your hosts are super hvaing thought of everything you will need in your stay. Highly Recommended!

Beautiful property. Loved the feel of country inside this little cabin which is good for families.
Had a great time in this cottage. Its perfect for a couple or family. Every standard amenity was included. It’s conveniently located from the town. They have a big folder with helpful suggestions for restaurants and things to do around town. Also got to see some deer around the area which my kids loved. Communication with Stephanie was excellent. We will definitely stay here again when we visit next.

Beautiful, clean cabin, tranquil town
Our family of three had a fantastic experience at the Painter's Cabin. Really cozy, inviting house. While the house is small, it is designed thoughtfully and has everything you would need. Everything was very clean. We basically felt at home all the time. Also Steph is a great host and she is very responsive to email and texts.
The neighborhood is very nice as well, quite walkable and you can see deers in the evening. Steph has a binder full of information about things to do around, which we found to be useful. It was very relaxing and quality family time for us.
From beginning to end it was a great experience and we look forward to another opportunity to stay over there.
