Old Fellow's Farmhouse

The Old Fellow's Farmhouse near Kerrville once played a role in the rich farming and ranching history of the Hill Country. It's been amazingly restored and renovated, while keeping its rustic country charm, including; new furniture, hi-tech amenities, new appliances and other added comforts for visitors to this beautiful region! The farmhouse sits handsomely on five scenic acres in the heart of the Hill Country and is loaded with comfortable and welcoming amenities. It's an amazing getaway!

You'll see you're in for something special as you approach the farmhouse, with its unique and striking barnboard-style construction and decorative filigreed woodwork circling the front porch. The mountain views from your rental cabin are beautiful, and lots of birds and wildlife call the area home. It's a treat for nature lovers, and with Kerrville 13 miles away, you'll have opportunities to spend time in town, too!

The shaded porch and gazebo are well-furnished, including a swing on the porch and ceiling fans for outdoor comfort, and they're adorned with strings of lights to add glittering magic to your nights here. An elevated deck off the upstairs bedroom offers even more stunning Hill Country views. Enjoy conversation, s'mores, and stargazing around the fire pit, with free firewood for the pit and the fireplace inside! Want a Texas-style cookout? There's a smoker and BBQ on hand, too!

Central air keeps this gorgeous Texas-themed guest home comfortable, and gorgeous woodwork gives the farmhouse a glow and personality all its own. Roku-ready TVs can be found in the downstairs media room and upstairs bedroom, with Wifi Internet service throughout. With a king-sized bed in the master (downstairs) bedroom, and a king-sized bed upstairs and a queen sofa bed in the media room, there's comfy sleeping space here for up to six, and clean bed and bath linens are provided. The downstairs master bath has a roomy shower, and upstairs you'll find a soothing and nostalgic clawfoot tub.

Great but could use a couple of improvements
In order to help make this a better rental would suggest 3 things. A shower head in the wall instead of the ceiling that does not get your head wet and gives you a more enjoyable shower. Screens on the doors and windows to allow a breeze without having to use the A/C and a curtain in the upstairs bathroom. Washcloths in the downstairs bathroom would be nice.

Weekend Get Away Trip
We came to visit our oldest son and stayed at your lovely renovated farmhouse and had the best time. It was the perfect retreat to get away and relax. We loved playing games inside and then going outside at night to enjoy a fire in the fire pit and look at the stars!! We truly enjoyed everything about it!!!
