About this cottage rental
The Mission is a warm, welcoming and comfortable home situated in the unique and historic Methodist Encampment neighborhood. As you sit on the large 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. 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 Mission from the front patio into a bright, open-concept living space with a small dining area and a well-stocked kitchen adjoining. Off of the main living space is a full bathroom that will be stocked with fresh towels. The Mission would comfortably sleep up to four adults. The home has two bedrooms. The first bedroom has a queen size bed and a rather large closet with hanging space. The second bedroom has a queen size bed, a letter desk and a smaller closet with a few shelves available. There is sufficient parking for 3 or more cars in the rock driveway and possibly more available spaces along the road. In the living room, there is a Roku smart TV that has Spectrum TV for channel flipping and free streaming channels preloaded, allowing you to access shows, movies and music. Guests may also load their own subscription channels such as netflix.
If you venture outdoors, there's even more to enjoy. Right out the front door is a wonderful patio with a fire pit, table and seating, a great space for relaxing, having your morning coffee, reading, visiting, or having a meal or cocktails. The yard is beautifully 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. Children and adults alike may have fun swinging on the red swing in the front yard. The neighborhood's windy streets are popular with walkers. If you take a stroll around the neighborhood, you will be rewarded with hill-top views, look at many unique homes and limestone rock work. The Methodist Encampment neighborhood is an eclectic mix of old and new, and home to many artists, musicians and writers, among others. It's common to see neighbors out talking with each other or getting together on someone's patio for food, drinks, fellowship and music.
The Mission 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.
In a 10-15 minute drive, you can reach most any other part of Kerrville, including the hospital, downtown shopping, the mall, Riverside Nature Center, Kerrville Farmer's Market, Playhouse 2000/Callioux Theater, antique and thrift shops and galleries. 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.
Kerrville is surrounded by several other charming, historic towns that make excellent day trips including:
Fredericksburg - Highly-walkable downtown, Shopping, German food & dining, wineries, farm stands, Wildseed Farms
Comfort - Antique shopping and dining, distillery, Old Tunnel State Park
Boerne - Highly-walkable downtown, shopping and dining Cave without a Name, Cascade Caverns, Cibolo Nature Center
Bandera - Cowboy Capitol of the World

Another wonderful trip to Kerrville, this is the second time we’ve rented from this family. Communication is amazing as well as suggestions on what to do and where to eat in Kerrville.
We will definitely be renting with them again!

This house was very nicely redone. The stucco facade on the front adds a lot of charm. The location is in a really eclectic neighborhood, full of unique homes. There were deer walking throughout the neighborhood. And lots of hummingbirds. Great place to stay. Plan to stay here again next year.

We loved everything about the Mission and really appreciated the superb communications with the host. She made everything easy. It was all we expected and more. We especially enjoyed the patio, decor, comfortable bed, and kitchen set-up...and the special touches, including the welcome snacks. We hope to return soon.

I come here once or twice a year (the anniversary of my daughter’s death, when I need quiet time with memories and with Goe), always staying at one of several of Stephanie’s houses. It is peaceful, and I get beautiful walks and nature. Stephanie is always very responsive to my messages. Wonderful home in the perfect setting!

Excellent Residence
The "Mission" was a very comfortable residence with all the amenities for a vacation home located in the secluded Methodist encampment community. We will definitely return to the "Mission" on our next vacation to Kerrville, TX.

A week at the “Mission”
My friend and I, visiting Kerrville for a week to participate in an archeology dig, were very happy to find that our house was all it was advertised to be and more! First, the surrounding neighborhood is a collection of interesting houses, all in different styles and colors and very well maintained. We enjoyed several evenings sitting outside on the patio enjoying the birds and deer, and relishing the absence of city noise! The house itself is small, but well furnished and very clean, and is perfect for 2 or 3 guests. A great place for a getaway in unusual surroundings!

The Peaceful Mission
Property was just as advertised. The house is cozy and the front patio was great for grilling after a day of riding the hill country.

Antiquing weekend with bestie!
The home was even better than we expected! So eclectic! We had to cancel our original trip because of a death in the family. We could have lost all the money we had already paid but instead, management worked with us not charging any extra fees or penalties! We were able to re-book with ease !

Beautiful & peaceful
I loved my stay here. The surrounding area is beautiful. I went on multiple walks daily. The many birds and deer were so beautiful and peaceful. This was exactly what I was looking for and needed. Stephanie was always very responsive to my messages and replied very quickly. My one complaint is the bed (I would have taken off 1/2 a star, but that isn’t an option, and the bed issue does not make it 4 stars). I did not find it comfortable (didn’t try the other one as I like to close the door to my bedroom and there was no door.) Everything else was absolutely perfect. Thank you, Stephanie!!

Charming little place!
We give this place a 10 out of 10! The property owner was amazing at communicating with us. We were there for a Regional Tennis Tournament so we didn't get to stay at the house as much as we wanted because we were at the courts all day but easy drive to everything we needed to be at. We did find time to enjoy the outdoor firepit one evening. Amazing details to the home with perfect touches of decor that were a perfect fit. Very clean and the beds were very comfortable. Scenery was amazing- live deer all around. I can't wait to go back!

Eclectic vibe in a unique community
If you are a fan of architectural detail, funky neighborhoods, and thoughtfully curated art and books, you will love this property! It’s great for a couple, or a small family in our case, my wife and I and our 8 year old son. We didn’t cook or eat meals in the house, but enjoyed the ground coffee and snacks that were provided on the front patio. The AC worked nicely, the water pressure was great and there are an abundance of soft fluffy towels to use. The house was very clean and the furnishings very much fit the eclectic vibe.

We loved it!
We truly enjoyed our time at the Mission. The house and neighborhood are totally charming! The house is very clean and comfortable, well kept and has everything you need. The patio and fire pit were wonderful. Deer were roaming the yard and lots of happy birds were singing while we had our morning coffee on the patio. We visited Fredericksburg and surrounding towns as well as Kerrville. Great escape.

Over and above my expectation.
We absolutely adored this property. The charm is off the chain. I brought things that I didn't need, because Stephanie leaves no stone unturned. Her forethought is amazing. Deer sightings every day, rare for a rental. Quiet, peaceful, relaxing. The perfect escape from traffic, noise, and bustle. No traffic. Just friendly neighbors on a leisurely stroll. Excellent kitchen amenities. I'm definitely going back. Steph, I thank you for a wonderful Christmas retreat with my family. Truly a gem!
