The Cottage At Axis Hill Farm with Private Riverfront

“The Cottage” At Axis Hill Farm

The Cottage at Axis Hill Farm is the perfect spot to relax and refresh or enjoy a family gathering at the river or on the patio. The night boasts a beautiful sky with a multitude of twinkling stars.

We endeavor to provide our guests with as much of an “at home” feel as any vacation rental can provide. It sits within a fenced yard; a patio and privacy garden so that you may enjoy the tranquility of the Hill Country well distanced from the entrance gate. There are also lots of hiking and walking places both on and off of our property, as well as private river frontage to enjoy during your stay.

We are located ¼ mile from Hunt, Texas, between Schumacher Crossing and the Hunt Crossing, and next door to Bridget’s Basket and The Market. Numerous summer camps are within just a few minutes of our gate, and we are in close proximity to several good restaurants. Also in close proximity are several golf courses, wineries, and museums.

The 2 bedroom / 2 bath cottage is behind gated access and sits comfortably on the side of a hill overlooking the Guadalupe River Valley. It is nestled off to the side and slightly behind the main home in the yard area. There is a nice privacy garden that provides separation between the two. The cottage is well equipped with each room having its own new HVAC system and new ceiling fans to provide maximum sleeping comfort. The front bedroom has a King bed and the back bedroom has 4 Twin beds. There are sleeping accommodations for up to 6. Each bedroom has its own separate bathroom including new washbasins and new tile and glass showers. Each bedroom comes with wall mounted Direct HD TVs and fast Wi-Fi. All of the kitchenette appliances are new and include a fridge / freezer with icemaker, gas cooktop, and Breville Smart Oven. A Mr. Coffee maker is provided for your comfort and convenience. There is also a gas grill for outdoor cooking on the patio and a fire pit with a grill on top. For our guests who plan longer stays, The cottage is complete with a washing machine with a gas dryer and optional housekeeping can be arranged. Otherwise, cleaning is completed following your stay.

We own private access and deep water frontage on the Guadalupe River. There is plenty of room for access in and out of the water from our concrete and rock facility. In addition, we provide tubes for your floating pleasure and there are 4 Kayaks available. Swimming, fishing, kayaking, and floating in the tubes are but a few of the enjoyable activities that the river has to offer. Our private river facility can be accessed by vehicle or a short walk from the house and sits at a comfortable distance from the highway for your privacy.

Beautiful property, great location

I really enjoyed my stay at the cottage. It was very clean and comfortable. The inside is nicely updated and the outdoor patio area was lovely with lots of shade. The property sits up on a hill with lovely view and nice breeze. River access is right across the road so very easy to get to. The owner is very friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be back.

Beautiful river - a little piece of heaven!

We were welcomed like family and helped with everything we had questions about, the hosts are amazing! The cottage was small but what we needed. The river access is amazing- a piece of heaven! There is a very nice dock to get in the water that has ample seating/sitting area, it is a nice deep part of the river with amazing trees all around. They have kayaks, inner tubes, and a big floating foam mat in the water that kept our kids and us entertained in the water for hours! Do note, you have to drive from the cottage to the river which is just across the highway, but it’s not even a 5 minute drive. Also noteworthy is that the bedroom with the 4 twin beds is one big room that is open and continuous with the kitchen and dining room. We enjoyed the beautiful property up on the hill from the porch for coffee in the mornings and cooking out and making s’mores over the fire pit in the evening. It was a great stay!

Another wonderful stay!

As always this property is an amazing stay! The private riverfront is so peaceful and tranquil it takes the stress right out of you. It reminds me so much of my time at nearby Camp Stewart when I was a kid. The cabin is very nice and I love the hill country view from the porch. The only thing I would like is for the cabin to have a full size oven instead of a toaster oven, but it wasn't anything that was going to hinder our stay. We will definitely return soon!

The location couldn't have been better, and the host as well! What a lovely spot near everything we wanted to do and see. Nancy was delightful, and so helpful! The cottage had everything we needed, and we slept so well. Wish we'd had more time to relax on the porch or the patio, because it was delightful.

Family Reunion 2023

Axis Hill Farm was a wonderful place to stay. Nancy was the best host! Location was so close to everything in the Hunt area. The river dock located on rare deep water of the Guadalupe River was very private and beautiful. The Cottage immaculately clean. It had two spacious room that were appointed in charming Texas Hill Country style. The beds were comfortable for all. The internet access was strong. The grounds were beautifully maintained. The views were breathtaking. Excellent value for the rate. I look forward to staying there the next time we visit the Texas Hill Country.

Outstanding stay in Hunt TX!

We stayed at this property for three nights after we dropped our kids off at nearby Summer camps. It was one of the best decisions we ever made! The cabin is very cozy and has all the essentials. The beds were very comfortable and vastly exceeded my expectations. Our group slept better there than we have in a long time. A good bed can make or break a trip and these beds helped. The cabin is quiet and secluded with nice views of the nearby hills. We did a lot of relaxing outside in the evening. There are two grills on-site and a fire pit, while we didn’t use them, we just might the next time we return. The waterfront is the best part of this rental. There were plenty of floats, canoes, and other pool toys there for us to use including a bathroom which was unexpected. The river is quite simply an amazing experience that brought back many pleasant memories of nearby Camp Stewart where I went when I was a kid. The waterfront is private so you don’t have to worry about sharing it with the public. It was so quiet and peaceful that we spent most of our time at the riverfront. The riverfront is well shaded and offers perfect relief against the 100 degree temperatures we were experiencing while we were there. The water was also quite cool and was very inviting to swim. One other note worth mentioning is that both the property and riverfront have been well treated for pest control. I didn’t see a single fire ant the entire time we were there. The grounds have also been well maintained. Mr Colvin is a great host and he checked on us personally to make sure our stay was first rate. Our family cannot wait until our next opportunity to return!

Wonderful Vacation Rental w-nearby Guadalupe River Access

We are active grandparents and took 4 grandchildren ages (4 - 10) to Hunt, to attend the Memorial Day Weekend Kerrville Arts Festival, and spend time on the Guadalupe River. We've been to the Arts Festival many times over 10 years, but have never taken little children with us. We had a remarkable stay in this Cottage, and it was perfect for children because there is a large side yard that is completely fenced, roomy and safe for the children to play. There is an outdoor table and chairs, and chairs on the front porch to sit and watch the children. The River is literally across Texas 39 from the Cottage, and has private access to the Guadalupe. If you have children, they can't just run down a hill and be in the River, so this is safer. The family has had this property on the River for decades (we were told), and it is classic Hill Country Guadalupe, with cool green water about 8 feet deep, towering Cypress Trees and a white stone deck patio area just like the pictures show. The famous Hunt Store is literally 6/10ths of a mile west on 39. The interior of the Cottage is actually better than the pictures show, because there are now 3 twin beds and one queen bed. Easily room for 4 children. It is also perfect for two couples, with the two separate rooms providing adequate sleeping areas and privacy. There are some seasonings in the kitchen. I would suggest that you bring your own coffee to use in the coffeemaker. There were adequate kitchen cookware and utensils to cook with. No dishwasher, but there is a washer-dryer in the attached laundry room. If you want to be in Hunt near the River, I can't think of a better location.

Perfect Getaway

Host was spot on with directions and gave us helpful info about surrounding area before our trip so it was an easy checkin/checkout experience. Property was beautiful and had a relaxing atmosphere. We had an amazing time at this house and on the river. My main concern was that we would have to go far for the river access but it was closer than I thought and easy to get to. All the water toys/equipment (kayaks, noodles, life jackets, foam mat, etc) were well taken care of and the gazebo, picnic table, extra chairs, bathroom, were pluses. Everything was clean and there were no issues inside or outside the property. We all enjoyed our stay and our kids are asking to go back again!
