Introduction
Return to a simpler way of life...
Elm Cottage Bed & Breakfast rests in one of the most beautiful valleys in the Texas Hill Country at The Hill Country Sculpture and Meditation Garden. The cottage is surrounded by 18 acres of natural beauty and tranquility.
Perfect for writers, artists, and those just wanting to get away from the hustle and bustle..."I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately..."Henry David Thoreau
Native trees and plants thrive as well as a gourmet herb garden and lush flower garden. Native and exotic deer roam the hills and come down to be hand fed each evening. Walking paths wind through the property along a deep set box canyon where there are many areas for rest and contemplation.
The nearby town of Kerrville offers fine dining, antique shops, theatres, and museums.
Only a 1 hour drive from San Antonio, the cottage is easily accessible from IH 10.

Elm Cottage is the newest addition to "the Garden" which was started in 1980. Since then the owners/hosts have lovingly added the unique details which have made it known as a haven of beauty and tranquility in the Hill Country.
The Garden received the Beautification Award from the Kerrville Women's Chamber of Commerce in 1996-97. It has been the site of weddings, memorial services, writing workshops and poetry readings.
