Excellent Getaway Spot

We had an awesome time spending a couple nights at this place. It's about 25min from Fredericksburg, but worth staying at for the space and views. I do recommend looking ahead on how to get there.

Super nice property about 20 miles outside of Fredericksburg with lots of animals and beautiful scenery. It’s a private, fully setup and stocked guest house with everything one would need except for food items. We would not hesitate to come back it was that nice!

The photos do not do this place justice. Vickie and Don were beyond hospitable upon our arrival. They have the most beautiful property and guest home. The amount of intention Vickie put into decorating the guest house shows and you’ll feel at home as soon as you step inside. We enjoyed our coffee on our private porch and watched as deer and goats explored in the distance. We intend to come back here again before we move out of state at the end of the year.

Hills and stars

This property is very luxurious and the owners did not miss a single detail! Deep in Hill country with nothing but peace and quiet. The stars and hot tub were everything we needed it to be! Can’t wait to go back!

A Quick Escape

Just had the best last-minute sister trip! We really needed a getaway, and this spot was absolutely perfect. Vickie and Don are such wonderful hosts. I got a bit turned around with directions, but Vickie swooped in to save the day! I wouldn't change a thing about this place. It was exactly what i needed to recharge-so peaceful and quiet. Waking up to those stunning views and sipping my coffee outside while soaking in the sounds of nature was pure bliss. Honestly the pictures online do not do this place justice. I'll definitely be back and can't wait to recommend this hidden gem to everyone!
