Pool! 8 bdrms/ 4.5 baths/ 2 living, close to town and wineries!

Big Red Bunk Haus is a 3,500 sq. ft. home just minutes from wineries, shopping, museums, and hiking is the perfect place for family and friends to gather. This 8 bedroom, 4.5 bath home offers two living areas, a kitchen fully-stocked with professional-grade pots, pans, knives & utensils, and a swimming pool for your ideal getaway. It's perfect for night owls and early birds, as no one is expected to sleep in the downstairs common area. 11 ft. ceilings and 8 ft. solid-core doors accommodate even the tallest of Texans. Downstairs there is an open-concept living/ dining/ kitchen great room, 2 master bedrooms (both with king beds) with en suite bathrooms, a 3 bedroom suite (bdrm 1-queen, bdrm 2- double, bdrm 3- queen + twin) with a full bathroom, bedroom off kitchen with queen bed, half bathroom, and laundry room,. Upstairs you will find 2 more bedrooms (bdrm 1- queen + twin floor mattress, bdrm 2- full over twin bunk bed + twin floor mattress), a second living room (with 2 full-size futons), and another full bathroom. Outside relax on the wide back porch, in the pool or the picnic tables under the shady oaks.

It's easy to take advantage of all the attractions just minutes away- 7 minutes to shopping on Main Street, 10 minutes to HWY 290 wineries, 15 minutes to Luckenbach, and 30 minutes to Enchanted Rock State Natural Area. Groceries and supplies are also nearby- 10 minutes to Walmart, 12 minutes to HEB and 7 minutes to Short Stop convenient store.

Big Red offers the serenity of the country with the convenience of the city.

Big Red is situated on pastoral farmland. The home feels very private, but there are neighbors nearby and ask that all guests act accordingly. Quiet hours must be observed between 10 PM and 7 AM. House Rules must be adhered to; no guns, no fireworks, and fires are the biggies. These rules protect our neighbors. Violating these will result in losing your deposit and being asked to vacate the property without a refund. We want everyone to have a good time at our home, but we can't stress enough how important it is to protect those around us.

Start of Summer Tradition

We get a VRBO every year for two families over Memorial Day Weekend in the Texas Austin/Hill Country area. This was our favorite to date. Easy drive to all wineries and Main Street Fredericksburg. But the rustic spot was such a plus!!! The patio and pool and tree swing and cows were blissful. Fantastic set up for 3 families with kids or a girls trip.

Family Christmas

The location was fantastic , there was 18 of us and we were very comfortable. More than enough room . They had made a cake for us ,it was great. The showers were great and for me , the best part was the kitchen . I love the cabinets and drawers . The home is so much bigger than expected . So much bigger. You won’t be dissatisfied. Plus, there was a Christmas tree already made for us . It’s a beautiful home.

Amazing views

We absolutely loved our stay here! The views are excellent and the barn feels like home. Some of our favorite times were spent eating around the dinner table, and hangout on the couch or in the back yard. Lots of room and an excellent place to stay. Did I mention the owners are super nice and accommodating.

Dirty 30 Birthday Weekend

This property was fabulous for our 30th birthday celebration. The home is so comfortable and the surroundings were beautiful. We so enjoyed having a bed for everyone and plenty of bathrooms to keep all 14 ladies perfectly happy. The cows and deer were an added bonus. We hope we have an opportunity to stay there again.

Perfect getaway for a big group!

Big Red exceeded all our expectations and was truly the perfect place for our group of 19 girls for a bachelorette weekend in Fredericksburg. The home has every single amenity you could want, and comfortably sleeps 19 people with no one on the floor. We had a blast and loved having such a fun bachelorette pad for the weekend!

Great place for a girls getaway!

15 women in our family and extended family gathered to celebrate my daughter’s upcoming wedding. There were plenty of rooms and plenty of bathrooms to accommodate our group. We walked into the kitchen to find a homemade lemon Bundt cake that was delicious. We have already started talking about staying there next year!

Relaxing views.

Our agency was lucky to find this home for our staff retreat. It was perfect for all seven women to have their own bedroom and privacy within such a large, open space. We enjoyed the view out back with the mooing cows and the deer close by. We had some questions about the property and the property manager was quick to respond. Thank you for the great stay!

Great place for relaxing!

We loved our stay at Big Red! It is a great place for a big group to have an awesome time. We came for a Bachelorette party however I loved seeing that the house had everything set up for kids too (baby gates, kids utensils, etc.) It's a quick drive to Main Street or the wineries. We had no issue having our wine tour bus pick us up here. It was a very enjoyable weekend and I definitely recommend this house to anyone!

40th Birthday Surprise

Loved this house!! I got it for a bunch of friends to surprise my husband for his 40th birthday. Everyone talked about how neat of a house it was and how great the layout was. I can’t express how much fun we had and how great this house is.

About the host

Hosted by Trisha Tanner

Host profile image
We live in Austin but have deep ties to Fredericksburg. Our family settled in Fredericksburg in the 1850's.

Why they chose this property

My father grew up on this land, and this is where our family has gathered for generations. We feel very fortunate to have built a home to share with family, you, and future generations to enjoy. This particular parcel of land offers pastoral views and views of the hill country in the distance. It is quiet and secure; the property is fenced and gated. And a final small but important note... even though our home is very private, we do have neighbors and we expect all guests in ways that protect them... Please no guns, fireworks or fires.

What makes this property unique

We designed this home to accommodate lots of folks to come and enjoy time together. There's a big 'ole great room where everyone can be together, but there are also 8 rooms that offer privacy when you need it. There is ample parking for guests in our driveway. Watching cattle and deer meander through the pastures is a favorite pastime.
