About this property
Tivy Cottage | Texas Hill Country Home
A bit of GRACE, we are under stage 4 water restrictions. Our grass, yard and plants are paying the price.
Tivy Cottage is an 1940's bungalow that has been fully remodeled to add a modern take on its vintage characteristics. This Texas Hill Country home is close to restaurants, coffee, bars, theater, river trail, breweries, wineries. Located only a few blocks from downtown Kerrville! Tivy Cottage is the perfect place for your next getaway. This home has many amenities like a private hot tub, outdoor shower, lawn games, fire pit and record player with records.
The Tivy Cottage has a open floor plan with lots of natural light that fills the home. This home also has very comfortable memory foam King beds, luxury linens, bamboo sheets, and comfortable furnishings to create the perfect setting for your stay. Master bedroom has an ensuite bath with large walk-in shower. Second bedroom has a bathroom just out its door with a bath/shower combo and an original 1940's sink. Sunporch has twin bunk beds with memory foam mattresses and luxury linens that even adults will love them. The room is just off the kitchen and has its own door that can be closed off to the rest of the house. Beautiful working fireplace.
Large front yard with mature pecan trees (help yourself to their bounty). Pink porch swing adorns the front porch. Backyard has a large patio and beautiful outdoor furnishings for entertaining. String lights to light backyard. fenced backyard, Six person HOT TUB. FIRE PIT area, Barbecue Grill. Outdoor game area. Outdoor shower. WIFI.

NO CATS and Please DO NOT allow you dog to get on the beds. If we see that the pets have been in the bed, we will keep security deposit.
I pride myself in having more than just the basics. For example, the house has iPhone chargers that are next to the beds, well-appointed kitchen, fabulous barware, great books on mixology, beautiful throws, blankets for by the fire pit, outdoor shower, luggage racks in both rooms, essential oils with a defuser, and paper and plastic goods.
The entire place is yours to enjoy. You will be given an entry code and will have a self-check in. If you need anything at all we are just a few blocks away. A very safe and friendly neighborhood. About a six block walk to downtown and some of the best restaurants and coffee shops.

We booked the house for camp pickup and it was perfect. The house was adorable, very clean and convenient! The host was extremely helpful. Would definitely book again.
We came in for a friends wedding in Kerrville and we wanted to stay in a more homey setting. The house was great, clean, great location and very cute. We will stay here again when needed!
Wonderful house! The home was very clean with comfortable beds as well as comfy living room furniture, bar stools, and dining table. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, utensils, soap, dish towels, etc. The appliances were very clean and worked well. The pictures show the fun the design of the property well. The neighborhood was safe, quiet, and close to the historic downtown area and Louise Hays park for swimming in the Guadalupe. Kim kindly provided restaurant recs prior to our visit. We plan to stay here again!
This house checked all the boxes for us: clean, comfortable, well decorated, and well appointed. Kim was great to deal with when a question arose regarding check in.
Complete perfection, already talking about another visit. Super easy to find location. The attention to visitor needs was amazing. Could not have asked for a better place to stay.
Beautiful house, clean, and functional. Everything worked as advertised and the check in/checkout process couldn’t have been easier. Highly recommended!
Great property located in the heart of town. Nicely decorated, comfy beds, hot showers and cold A/C. We had a very short but enjoyable stay. Thanks Kim!/
We loved staying here. I think she’s thought of everything you would need. The layout is great for families and everything is beautifully done. We loved the mini bar and the record player with great music. Our new favorite house for camp drop off!
This house is eclectic and offers so much fun for all ages. We especially enjoyed the record player and I have 2 out of the 9 albums on her wall. Located close to town.
This home is gorgeous and so comfortable! The place was so stylish, I just wandered from room to room, appreciating all of the thought and detail that went into designing this space. We all wished we could have stayed longer to enjoy the hot tub and fire pit, and the big backyard was perfect for our pup. We will be checking this property for availability any time we visit Kerrville in the future!
We were looking for a hill country getaway and ended up booking Kerrville not because of the location but because of this cute property- and boy did it not disappoint. The home is much comfier than the photos lead on. The backyard is a true oasis. We made homemade pizza, crafted on the large kitchen table, and even walked to a wine bar down the street. Kim was more than responsive, and we had everything we needed for a perfect getaway. I would book this home- or any other property they manage - in a heartbeat!
We stayed here for one night in our way home from a road trip and I wish we could have stayed longer! The house has been very nicely updated (makes me want to redo my house!). The fenced yard was great for playing fetch with our dog while our kids loved the hammocks. Our favorite parts of the house were the record player, the honor bar and the board games. We spent the evening playing Operation on the back patio. It was a perfect Texas summer night.
My religious organization has an annual conference every year, simultaneously across the US and internationally. Originally, I had booked a trip for San Miguel de Allende. Well, #Covid. My daughter and I weighed our options and, by the time we finally decided it would be Kerrville, lots of the places I had saved to my board had already been booked. What pops up, unfinished as of yet, but Tivy Cottage. I looked at the other properties that Kim has and believed this would work. Boy am I glad I booked it. Every base covered. Most prompt and courteous responses. Many brethren and family members were staying nearby but our place was the place to be. Everyone adored the place. I’m looking for an opportunity to return soon.
Tivy Cottage is everything you could hope for in a Hill Country getaway. The home itself has tons of character, and it's been updated lovingly with unique decor and modern conveniences. We immediately felt right at home.
The house is comfortable throughout -- from the living room/dining room to bedrooms and baths. For a small house, the rooms are very open and our party of three had plenty of space.
Plus, Kimberly provides all the basics and much more. Everything is well appointed and you'll find everything you need -- from coffee in the morning to an honor bar at night!
Tivy Cottage is also in a perfect location for exploring downtown Kerrville's breweries, wine bars and antique shops. And Boerne and Fredericksburg aren't far away.
Important to note: the house is not just pet-friendly -- the backyard is completely fenced, secure and private. That's something you often don't find in a "pet-friendly" VRBO.
Kimberly was also very responsive and easy to work with.
I heartily recommend Tivy Cottage for your Kerrville visit!
My husband and I were in town for my son’s wedding and we couldn’t of picked a more perfect place! Not only is this place immaculately clean, well maintained with some restored original features (which were so cool), it has a TON of “extras” beyond the usual amenities. Essential oils and a diffuser, robes, the most comfortable beds, records, games, an awesome backyard and the list goes on. I wish we had time to enjoy the hot tub and relax in the hammocks outside but we had a bunch of wedding festivities to attend. Kim was AMAZING from booking until check out. She bent over backwards to accommodate our crazy flight schedule and was always quick to respond to any message. Not only that she sent us encouraging well wishes the day of the wedding to let us know she was thinking about us and praying for our day. WOW!!! I never met her in person but if I did, I’d probably give her a massive hug lol. If you’re looking for an amazing time away, this is the place to stay!
