About this property

Hill Cottage | Historic and Charming

  • Cain City was founded as one of the stops along the Fredericksburg and Great Northern Railway. It was a thriving town and until just about 30 years ago part of the old bank was still standing just a short distance from Hill Cottage.

    Located only a few miles from Fredericksburg this delightful quaint, little cottage boasts phenomenal views. The yard has a wonderful array of birds. The outside patio has comfy chairs and charcoal grill and is ideal for watching our feathered friends, rabbits, deer, and all the other nature so abundant to the area.

    The Adam's family built Hill Cottage in 1912, and also were founders of Cain City. Pine floors, pristine white trim, fluffy white lace curtains, and rich rose walls enhance the playful mix of patterns in the floral sofa and plaid armchair creating a warm and inviting glow in the living room. Enjoy the Direct TV with DVD player. Two bedrooms (both with queen-size beds) are found on both sides of the bath. Comfy reading chairs are found in both bedrooms along with antique dressers and chests. The bath has a claw foot tub with shower.

    A completely equipped country kitchen has a range/oven, refrigerator, microwave, toaster and coffeemaker. The adjacent dining room has a table for four and antique china cabinet. Windows are conveniently arranged to enjoy the countryside views. The large patio and screened-in porch both have comfy chairs to sit and relax. Broadway Cottage is next door and also sleeps four—makes a perfect getaway for eight people.

    $27.00*/extra person after the first 3 in the group/night
    *plus 13% tax

    Please Note: You are renting a cabin in the Hill Country which means you may encounter wildlife (Snakes, Deer, Racoons, ETC). Please be aware of your surroundings, and take caution while driving at night. You may also encounter the various bugs, spiders, scorpions and mice that live in the country AND sometimes do make their way inside. All properties do utilize pest control services on a regular basis BUT this does not guarantee no pests or bugs will be visible.

We ended up staying a weekend with a cold front and we got to enjoy the fire pit outside with wood provided! Instructions were clear and house was cozy. Would stay again!

Music in Luckenbach

Great location and quaint quiet place. We were gone majority of the time out in Fredericksburg Friday night then in Luckenbach all day. Location is great in the sense that we were easily able to get an Uber there and back. It was an all day festival so we didn’t want to risk having fun then having to drive on unfamiliar roads. All and all cute and comfy place.

Hill Country

Loved the location. Comfortable beds, furnished well. Kitchen was well equipped. The bathtub and floor are dangerous. Unstable, slippery, and no handrails. One of our party could not safely use it.

Relaxing

The house was secluded enough to be relaxing and peaceful but close to Fredericksburg’s main attractions. It could have used a bit more tidying before our arrival. There was food from the previous tenant left in the fridge and dead crickets in one of the rooms along with a dead scorpion behind the door. The rest of the house was quaint and what would be expected of an old ‘farmhouse’.

Probably not the best choice for two old ladies. It was cute, comfortable and clean but had several safety issues: Front door did not lock, blinds did not close completely and a tub/shower that was impossible to use. Also, we could not get the TV to work or WiFi.

The house was in a great location to Main Street in Fredericksburg to Luckenbach. Great view of the hills, Cute older farmhouse. Few minor things wrong. The tub had hair in it, toilet could use a pumice stone scrubbing.Understanding this is an old house. Overall had a peaceful weekend.

Cottage in the Country

Attractive, comfortable cottage in the quiet of the country, surrounded by pretty pastures and wildlife, yet only a short distance to Fredericksburg. The historic house was very clean and furnished with cozy touches and beautiful antiques. Would love to stay again!

Lovely Cottage

This cottage was wonderful for our weekend stay in Fredericksburg. The cottage is centrally located from wineries and downtown Fredericksburg. The cottage is very well kept and has all the essentials, central AC is a big bonus in the Texas heat! Would recommend this cottage to anyone.

Beautiful views!

Absolutely loved the Hill Cottage! It rained on Saturday night and the views of the lightning in the distance were amazing! There's nothing better than sitting on the porch with a glass of wine and watching Mother Nature. We had a great experience!

It is a cozy cottage to stay in. I would rather sit on the back porch and watch the deer than go in to town and fight the crowds of "different" people that are taking over Fredericksburg.
