About this property

The two- story cabin offers ample space, excellent beds and furnishings, original oil paintings by hill country artists, views, brand new walk in shower upstairs, and comfy king beds.

We are extremely dedicated, during this time of the covid-19 pandemic, to cleaning, sanitizing all surfaces, washing all linens in hot water with bleach, and switching and sanitizing bed pillows and mattress covers for each bed for every new guest.

It is a great place for up to 9 people to get away for a weekend or for a family to reconnect for a week in the country air. The road it is located on is a dead end road so there is almost no traffic. A great place to walk and bike. A wonderful place to sit on the balcony and look over the Palo Alto Creek Valley with a glass of wine and watch the moon rise! If you are a cyclist, it is the perfect location to connect to the best biking roads in the hill country.

A beautiful place to retreat....: This is a beautiful place to let your hair down and enjoy the views of the Texas Hill Country. This cabin is located on a farm with cows, chickens, clean air, peace and quiet. It is only 3.5 miles from downtown Fredericksburg, so the shopping, restaurants and fun are only minutes

We have base price that adjusts per season for six guests. We charge $35.00 per day for each guest over six.

We have elegant, clean linens that are ALL laundered for each guest. We provide all of essentials you need for any length of stay.

The kitchen and gas grill have all of cooking essentials to make great meals for your friends and family. We provide coffee and teas and creamer for you to enjoy.

We have a pac and play if you need one! We have swings and a small bike and tractor for your children to play with!

This is a space that you will love to make your next vacation spot!

Perfect!

Everything was as advertised and better. House was clean, comfortable and had everything needed. Spent most of our time in the evenings grilling and around the fire pit.

Beautiful Moonrise Retreat!

This beautiful home is aptly named. We watched the moon rise dramatically one night and saw a beautiful sunrise the next morning. So convenient to Fredericksburg and Enchanted Rock and so clean and comfortable. This was our second time to stay here--and it will not be our last!

Anniversary get away with best friends!

A beautiful, quiet place to enjoy sitting outdoors. A perfect place to relax as a couple or with others. A little disappointed that Mother Nature didn’t allow us to enjoy a fire in the fire ring but the rules are the rules! Very clean, and comfortable! Watching the wildlife across the fence and the of the sunrise and sunset amazing! We chose not to try out the hot tub but it did look very tempting. Would definitely recommend and stay again!

Beautiful home in the country

What a lovely place to look at the stars and see a beautiful sunrise. It’s only a short jaunt to the historical district in Fredericksburg and Enchanted Rock. And those big beds are so comfortable! We enjoyed grilling, hanging out on the back patio, and relaxing in the hot tub. I have already made a reservation for next year!

Peaceful wine country weekend

My family stayed here for a cousins wedding weekend. The property was lovely and peaceful. They even allowed me to bring my elderly dog, which was a wonderful last trip for her. I recommend this place!

Why they chose this property

We bought this property because of the beautiful houses, amazing trees, views and its short distance to downtown Fredericksburg. You are out in the country but minutes from town.

What makes this property unique

The guest house has beautiful touches of wood trim and tile floors, high ceilings, beautiful views, peace and quiet. All duvet covers and pillow shams are laundered after each guest. The beds are extremely comfortable and luxurious. The upstairs bathroom is freshly remodeled with a beautiful walk in tiled shower. The new third bedroom is a very romantic and cozy retreat with ensuite bathroom. We just updated the kitchen with new granite countertops, fresh paint and finally a dishwasher!! We also provide a pac and play and high chair upon request!
