About this property

Alamo Springs- The Barn | Relaxing Retreat

Natures lovers, walkers, cyclists and motorcycle riders... we have found the property for you. Your host has a definite idea of what Texas is all about and is anxious to share this love of Texas through his cabins. Located just across the street from the well known and popular Alamo Springs General Store and Café these cabins are not only beautiful and private, but they are comfortable too. Each cabin is set up for a romantic or just a casual weekend driving through the countryside. Let us introduce you to Alamo Springs Country Cabins.

The Country Cabin (1) and The Barn (2)
The first two cabins “The Country Cabin” and “The Barn” offer a rustic elegance. Each cabin has a long front porch decked with comfy rockers to enjoy a view of woods and wildlife. Inside these one room cabins you will find a king bed topped with luxury linens and fluffy decorative pillows. The bed is facing the open living along with the leather sofa (also a full size bed) and both are placed to enjoy the television and fireplace. A fully equipped kitchen has a range/oven, large refrigerator, microwave, coffeemaker and toaster along with the table which can easily seat 3—4 people. Guests favorite part of the cabin probably will be the bathroom with it's large corner whirlpool tub so important for those special weekends. It also has a separate shower. Ever taken a shower or washed your hair in rainwater? These cabins are supplied with pure, sparkling, clean and refreshing rainwater- and it tastes so good, you'll want to take some home.

Just outside the cabin your host provides a parking pad for motorcycles. Along with the special treat of having Alamo Springs General Store and Café across the road, guests may also be interested in the Bat Tunnel located just a short walk away. The Bat Tunnel is open in the evenings during the summer months. The cabins are only a short drive to Luckenbach. This special property has quickly become a favorite of outdoor enthusiasts.

For each extra person after the first two in your party, there is an additional $32/extra person/night (before tax) charge.

The home is pet friendly and will accept up to four dogs. However, there is a pet fee of $32/dog/night. Due to the fact that HomeAway/VRBO does not allow us to charge for more than one dog at the time of booking, please let us know if you will be bringing more than one dog, so that we can make sure that you are charged the correct amount. If you bring more than one dog and do not let us know, you will be charged accordingly. Furthermore, please bring crates for your dogs and crate them in your absence from the house, do not allow the dogs on furniture or beds, and pick up and properly dispose of their waste. If these rules are not followed, there will be an additional $200 charge added to your reservation.

Please Note: You are renting a cabin in the Hill Country which means you may encounter wildlife (Snakes, Deer, Racoons, ETC). Please be aware of your surroundings, and take caution while driving at night. You may also encounter the various bugs, spiders, scorpions and mice that live in the country AND sometimes do make their way inside. All properties do utilize pest control services on a regular basis BUT this does not guarantee no pests or bugs will be visible.

Great secluded cabin

We loved this little cabin. It was perfect for our weekend getaway, we really enjoyed the jacuzzi tub, soft bed, and that there was breakfast to cook in the fridge for us.

5 Stars - We love this cabin!

My wife and I have made a few trips to Fredericksburg over the years and the last two trips we have stayed here at the Barn. We absolutely love this cabin, we love the peace and quiet we can have out there. It's a bit of a drive from town but it's well worth it. We've recommended this cabin to family and friends and we will stay here any time we come for a vacation. Thank you to our hosts!

Weekend get away.

We had a nice quiet get away. We enjoyed our stay at this remote cabin. We viewed the Solar Eclipse from the cabin, visited Alamo Springs cafe and went to a concert at Luckenbach. This cabin is close to everything, while still being away from everything. We will book again. Thank you for such a wonderful stay.

We loved our stay at the barn. Deer roam by at night and morning. Very quit and tons of stars can be seen. Right next to the best burger I have ever eaten at Alamo Springs Cafe.

Great Stay!

A relaxing and quiet retreat close to Fredericksburg. Just the right size with everything we needed. The design and decor of the cabin was a rustic style, very fitting for the area. We saw deer right in front of the cabin. We loved the rockers and the front porch with a relaxing breeze. I would highly recommend Alamo Springs The Barn to anyone needing to stay near Fredericksburg.

“The barn”

My wife and I had a perfect weekend getaway at the barn! Perfect for a couple or small family looking to stay in a cabin overlooking beautiful scenery. The barn is in a very quiet neighborhood with a restaurant and walking trails within walking distance. Would recommend to anyone looking to plan a weekend getaway!

Perfect Cabin to Escape

The Barn was the perfect place for us to escape to on our 1 year anniversary. It's smack dab in the middle of hill country with great views during the day and tons of stars at night. It being dog friendly was a huge plus for us too. Everything was clean and comfortable, and we loved being able to make ourselves breakfast with all the fixins already ready to go. We would definitely stay here again on our next venture to Texas Wine Country!

Loves the stay

We enjoyed the stay and wish we could have stayed longer! We will definitely be staying here again. Centrally located to everything we wanted to see. We also love the country drive. Thank you for the breakfast stuff it was the icing on the cake. It is the perfect lil cabin for a weekend retreat to rejuvenate and catch up with life. Again, thank you for an amazing stay! Until next time!

Best anniversary ever!

This beat out our first anniversary (Key West Fl) by far. The location and rental was beautiful. Quiet and relaxing w a short commute to town. This is a place we would definitely return to. This exceeded our expectations and made for a very memorable 2nd anniversary! We wouldn’t change a thing!

Off The Grid

This property is perfect for those wanting to discount .... very little cell / data service, no satellite TV, just the stars and sky above you. Fireplace is perfect for the cool evenings and the oversize bathtub is perfect for romantic evenings.
