Bright And Comfy Home In The Eclectic, Antique Methodist Encampment Neighborhood
About this cottage rental
Guests will enjoy this bright and spacious home, the comfort and luxury of freshly updated spaces and furnishings blended with charming antique decor and fine art including works of Joe G Russell (an original Cowboy Artist) and paintings by your hosts, Steph and Linda Stone. The spaces include: A beautifully updated kitchen with granite counter tops, full-size stainless steel appliances, a dish washer and most everything you might need to cook and serve a meal besides the food. We leave some coffee, waters and a few other snacks for our guests, so please help yourself to anything you find in the home during your stay. The full bathroom, also freshly updated, is tiled with a roomy walk-in shower. There is also a small half-bath, and there will be fresh towels for guest use, a hair dryer, shampoo, conditioner and body wash available. Both bedrooms are bright and spacious. The master bedroom has a queen-size bed and the second bedroom has a full-size bed. Both bedrooms have closet space and hangers. The living room is open to the dining area and kitchen and also sits along side the sunroom. The living room is bright and comfortable with seating consisting of two love seats and an extra chair. There is a Roku smart TV that has Spectrum TV service and can also be used to watch free streaming channels. You may also be able to add your own subscription viewing channels (such as Netflix) or plug in your devices/players using an HDMI Cable. The dining area has a large and solid table that can be expanded. You'll be able to set a lovely table with our selection of place mats, cloth napkins, dishes and glasses. The sun room is an indoor/outdoor space (not air conditioned) that serves well in bathing the entire home in sunlight. This is the perfect place to relax and enjoy your morning coffee, read a book, have a drink or play a game. Guests can open the windows between the main house and the sunroom to climate control that space somewhat, and we provide a tower fan to further help guests enjoy the sunroom space. There is also a closet in the kitchen and dining space where you'll find cleaning supplies, an iron and small "counter-top" ironing board, games and art supplies for your use. The home also has excellent outdoor spaces. The side and front of the home have been landscaped with mostly native plants, culinary and medicinal herbs. The treed back yard has a table and chairs, and there is an antique outdoor "fireplace" that guests are welcome to use (fire wood is available at nearby stores). The back yard has a rough cedar fence, and feels very natural with limestones to walk on, a gentle hillside canopy of trees, and common wildlife sightings. Deer will visit you daily! The garage is available upon request in advance of your arrival, and it is large enough to park one vehicle inside as well as sufficient parking in the washed-aggregate driveway for two vehicles. On the side of the garage is a small room where we have added a washer and dryer that guests are welcome to use. Venturing out into the neighborhood, you'll find popular walking streets that are windy and shaded by canopies of trees arcing over them. The Methodist Encampment Neighborhood is home to a diverse mix of people including many artists, writers, musicians, a Tai Chi and Reiki studio and photographers. Guests often enjoy walking in the neighborhood and seeing the many unique, eclectic and artsy antique homes with rustic rockwork terracing on the hillsides. We recommend a walk up to the Bolivian cross for a phenomenal sunset view (you'll find a neighborhood walking map in our home's info binder). Guests may also enjoy checking out our neighborhood's little free library (built by your hosts :) up the street on Lazy Lane. The neighborhood has recently received a historic designation, and the Texas State Historic Marker can be found at the corner of Methodist Encampment and McAllen. There's also an enlarged drawing of the neighbor created by a resident in the 1950's available for viewing in front of The Painter's Cabin a few houses downhill. It's been our joy to host many travelers and repeat guests at our three Methodist Encampment guest homes! We take great pride in making the spaces sparkle and shine for each guest and offering you the best possible experience when visiting our home. Please reach out if you have any questions or would like personalized recommendations for your time in the Hill Country.

My husband and I stayed with our teenage son for two nights. The beds are super comfy, the space is beautiful and homey with eclectic decor. The sunroom on the front of the house has a nice view of the sunrise over the hills. Out back, there is an old fire pit/chimney and a table for four. The walk in shower has great water pressure and plenty of towels. Stephanie is a gracious host and even let us check out a little late! Highly recommend this adorable little home!!

This house is beautifully decorated and in a very quiet neighborhood. There are deer everywhere and it was so enjoyable to sit in the sun room and watch them each morning.
Stephanie is very responsive and makes sure the house is lacking nothing. The towels are thick and plentiful, the kitchen has everything you need and the beds are comfortable.
We are going to be coming back and forth to Kerrville while we search for our retirement home and hope to stay here for each trip. It's in a great location just minutes to everything.

Perfect Getaway!
This is an exceptional property! It is in a very cool neighborhood with the extra added treat of seeing deer every day! My friend and I wanted a relaxing girls weekend with a triathlon thrown in.
Stephanie was a pleasure to work with and we loved the very detailed binder of all the fun activities, restaurants, etc.
It was decorated beautifully and was very comfy and cozy. We will definitely be back!

This house was the perfect place to spend almost 2 months in Kerrville while dealing with family estate matters. It is in a quiet, safe and very beautiful eclectic-artsy neighborhood. Its lovely and thoughtful décor provided the best environment to decompress and relax, and Stephanie was very responsive to my needs with a friendly and courteous demeanor. Checking in and out was simple, and I feel this house was the perfect choice for my extended stay.

The house is in a quite neighborhood and made for the perfect place to get away to. I almost felt like we were out in the woods because of some many deer that come out in the evenings.

We loved everything about Tanglewood Cottage. The property manager was wonderful. She responded to our questions promptly and was proactive with giving us advice for enjoying our stay.
The house itself is fab. Kitchen is excellently appointed and has storage space, bedrooms are comfortable and neat, the house is full of beautiful art, and the gong in the sunroom makes a fantastic sound that makes you get out of your head and enjoy the moment.
Location is easy to get to off I-10, which makes day trips to neighboring towns easy. The neighborhood is wonderfully unique and hilly.
Overall this is one of the best VRBO properties I've ever stayed at. (I've stayed at about 15 properties across the US). I highly recommend Tanglewood Cottage for anyone/small group looking for a relaxing Texas Hill Country getaway.

If your planning an over night trip to the Texas Hill Country the Tanglewood Cottage is located in a perfect location. The cottage is well equipped for long or short stays. We stayed for 10 days and have absolutely no complaints. The host was easily accessible for questions and very responsive. After long days it nice to come home to comfortable and cozy accommodations. I would recommend this destination and will be returning for another stay on our return to the Kerrville area.
