About this bed and breakfast
The Carriage House is a converted Barn located in the owner's gated compound. The barn was previously used to stable horses and store carriages for the family. The entire house has been recently renovated and redecorated. The owners are Antique dealers and travel to France and England to shop for their business. Ray is also a realtor with deep experience in the Hill Country and Carolyn is an award-winning artist and has a studio in the compound.
The home is furnished with European Antiques with modern touches. Guests love the charm and character of the home and garden. The garden is enclosed by a fence with antique gates from Europe. It has seating around a gas fire pit, tables and chairs for outside dining, umbrellas, gas grill, garden art from Europe, two covered porches, and a large deck with a view of the Guadalupe River. Guest love the wildlife and the scenic view of the river and rolling hills. The river is a short walk down the hill to a picturesque walking park along with huge cypress trees lining the river. River equipment is available to rent near or you may bring your own and enjoy the river.
The Carriage House features an open concept that includes the living room, dining area, and kitchen. It is very private and the design of tall french entry doors and a wall of window to the garden allows exquisite light into the house.
Flat-screen televisions in the living room and the master bedroom. Free Wi-Fi is provided for our guests.
This is a great place to relax and enjoy the beautiful Hill Country and visit places like Comfort, Fredericksburg, Bandera, and Hunt. All a short drive. Great restaurants located in Kerrville (5 minutes to downtown) and other easily driveable areas.
There is a full kitchen with all appliances including a coffee maker. The refrigerator has an ice maker.
If you are looking for a romantic weekend away, a girl's get-a-way, a family Hill Country Adventure or possibly a small wedding have found a place that will create special memories for you and your loved ones.

Our host was wonderful. He met us when we arrived and gave us a tour of the carriage house as well as of his property. He brought us eclipse glasses. He recommended excellent places to eat. The carriage house was lovely and very convenient for us. And it was only about a five minute walk from his backyard to the Guadalupe riverbank and adjacent open field dog park. Overall, everything was delightful.

Our visit was short and a busy one that we didn’t even get a chance to meet Mr. Ray the host. but he was very responsive to our check-in details to make sure we didn’t get lost or if we had any questions or concerns about our stay. but we sure loved the guest house!! it was so private and spacious for us to stay at! We loved everything about it and specially how close it is to town! We sure will come back to stay another time if it’s available on next visit to kerrville!

Quaint European Charm
Carolyn and Ray are such great hosts. The property is beautiful and the cottage is decorated so thoughtfully! We enjoyed our stay. Wish we could have had more time to explore the river and sit outside, but visiting grandbabies was our top priority! Thanks for everything.

Perfect balance of elegance and rustic

Excellent. A fun and relaxing experience.
We wanted to explore the Texas Hill Country, and the barn house turned out to be the perfect location to work from. Thank you Ray! The house just immediately felt like home; although, I'm not sure our real home is quite as nice or interesting. The unique house is tastefully decorated, well-furnished, patio space everywhere, personal touches galore, comfortable arrangements, private, secure, easy access, great hosts, serene views..... This is the place to be for visiting the Hill Country and Kerrville. Great experience. Highly recommend.

Cozy & beautiful house
We were impressed with the beautiful furnishings and decor in the house. The comfy outdoor areas allowed us to enjoy the beauty of the hill country and we got to see deer running across the field. The property is private with a security gate and we felt very safe and at home. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Cozy & Secure Carriage House
This place is a hidden gem! Upon arrival we were very impressed with the iron gate. Knowing that not just anyone could get in was reassuring. The house is beautifully decorated and had a very cozy feel to it. Loved the wooden beamed ceilings, the patio area, and the large roomy kitchen. We highly recommend!

Lovely property
This property WAS truly charming and loved the outdoor spaces and the proximity to the river. The outside entrance to the half bath was a bit inconvenient at times, especially the evening of the rain storm. Ray is an excellent host and everything was well organized for check-in and departure.

THE PERFECT GETAWAY
The Carriage House was the perfect getaway for my hubby and I. Spacious, with an interesting collection of antiques, and very comfortable with all the amenities provided for a relaxing stay.
The hosts are absolutely delightful, and have provided travelers a fabulous location in which to unwind, and enjoy the natural beauty of the area. Take a short walk down to the riverbank and sit awhile!
You'll want to return to this location again, and again.

A touch of France in the Texas Hill Country
We chose this VRBO for a quick anniversay trip for several reasons - we are postponing a trip to France due to Covid, and found the Carriage House the perfect substitute close to home! If I hadn't known I was in Kerrville I would have believed I was in France. The entire visit exceeded our expecations for a VRBO in every way - the house itself was not only beautifully decorated, but comfortable in every way. River views and easy access to walking along the Guadalupe added a perfect outdoor touch - along with all the several spaces to have morning coffee, late evening fire chats and al fresco dining. Ray and Carolyn are enjoyable and considerate hosts, full of warm Texas hospitality. We're returning, without doubt!

Hill Country Get Away
I live in the heart of a big city, Dallas, so we were looking for a a relaxing country feel & the Carriage House didn't disappoint. There were views of the Guadeloupe river from the back terrace & an easy walk down the hill. This was a great location for touring the Hill Country. Host Ray & Carolyn are friendly & very accommodating.

Great Home Base for our Hill Country Week
Our family really enjoyed the Carriage House. Ray and Carolyn stopped in to introduce themselves the very first evening and were so kind and helpful during our stay. We took advantage of the short walk to the Guadalupe River and enjoyed a number of walks along the trail. So much great patio seating along the back of the house - would definitely be a favorite spot as the flowers and foliage return in spring & summer. (Our trip was early March and after the February Freeze that turned everything brown.) The kitchen and bathrooms were very well stocked. They have a Keurig and a regular coffee pot for your beverage needs. We had dinner at Grape Juice one night and would recommend it as a nice local wine & dine option. Overall, a wonderful place to stay if you want Kerrville area as your "home base" during your stay.
