About this property

Private Hilltop Farmhouse Incredible Views, Petting Zoo Animals & Hot Tub

Perched atop a scenic hill overlooking miles of breathtaking Texas Hill Country views, The Farmhouse at A Barn at the Quarry offers a truly unforgettable escape unlike anything else in Fredericksburg.

Nestled on 11.5 private acres in the heart of Texas Wine Country, this spacious hilltop retreat combines the comfort of home with the charm of a farm, spectacular sunsets, endless star-filled skies, and unforgettable encounters with some very special furry friends.

Wake each morning to sweeping countryside views and spend your evenings relaxing in the hot tub beneath a blanket of stars. Gather with family and friends on the secluded two-tier patio featuring a covered outdoor dining area for 12, fire pit, outdoor bar, and grill—all overlooking rolling hills that seem to stretch forever.

What truly sets The Farmhouse apart is the experience. Meet Lorenzo, our charming and famously friendly non-spitting llama, along with Espresso and Latte, our adorable miniature donkeys who freely roam the property and love greeting guests. Just beyond them, you’ll find Cookie and Leche, our beloved miniature Highland cows, waiting for treats, photos, and plenty of affection. Every stay includes a complimentary animal treat bag, giving guests a unique opportunity to interact with these lovable farm ambassadors.

Perfect for family reunions, retreats, girls’ weekends, couples’ getaways, holiday gatherings, and wedding groups, The Farmhouse comfortably accommodates up to 12 guests. Inside, you’ll find two master suites with ensuite bathrooms, two spacious living rooms, a fully equipped kitchen with premium appliances, large-screen TVs, games, and everything needed to enjoy memorable meals and meaningful time together.

Need more space? No problem. We also have 4 other uniquely themed bed & breakfast cabins available. Close to walk to, and far enough for total privacy.

While you’ll feel worlds away from everyday life in these beautiful and peaceful surroundings, you’re only minutes from Fredericksburg’s renowned wineries, distilleries, restaurants, shopping, and live music. Grapetown Vineyard and Bankersmith are located right next door, offering wine tastings, live entertainment, safari tours, and seasonal events throughout the year.

Whether you’re sipping wine while watching the sunset, sharing stories around the fire pit, feeding miniature Highland cows, or simply enjoying the peace and privacy of your own hilltop retreat, The Farmhouse offers a one-of-a-kind Hill Country experience that guests remember long after they’ve returned home.

Come experience the beauty, tranquility, and magic of Texas Wine Country from one of Fredericksburg’s most unique and memorable vacation destinations.

Beautiful home with breathtaking views! The house was impeccably clean, thoughtfully furnished, and the hot tub made our stay even more relaxing. The host was wonderful—friendly, responsive, and made the booking process seamless from start to finish.What truly made this place unforgettable were the animals on the property: donkeys, llamas, turkeys, armadillos, deer, so many different colorful birds, and more. It felt peaceful, unique, and full of charm. The location was perfectly located between downtown Fredericksburg and Luckenbach, making it easy to enjoy everything the area has to offer.We absolutely loved our stay and can’t wait to come back!

My name is Gianna and I am the proud owner and operator for A Barn At The Quarry which includes this beautiful 4 bedroom Farmhouse for rent in the heart of Fredericksburg's gorgeous wine country. Our Farmhouse is located on an 11 acre farm with a magical non-spitting llama, a 900lb Oreo cow named Cookie, 2 adorable mini-donkeys who love to love and a great deal of privacy. I was an event planner for years and have always loved creating amazing unique spaces and experiences for people and our Farmhouse is definitely that. We are also happy to accommodate guests special requests and offer rentals of large outdoor projectors, do private cheffing, surprise gifts for special guests and event support to those doing retreats, special holidays and reunions. As the third female owner of A Barn At The Quarry a lot of love and attention to detail has gone into our property. We love to entertain our own family and friends at the Farmhouse so it's a fully stocked and very warm inviting space. We have indoor and outdoor games, a fully stocked kitchen with anything you would need to cook or entertain. Extra pillows, blankets and towels available and spices in the cupboard just like home. I fell in love with the property because of how peaceful, serene and absolutely beautiful the view is and how happy it made me to be there and we hope that you get to come and enjoy some of that beauty, peace and happiness too.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with A Barn At The Quarry from the moment we saw it. It's such a special and unique fun getaway that allows you to fully experience the Hill Country farm life with all the comforts of still being close by everything.
