About this property

Big Sky Guest House, 2bd, 1bath, Enjoy the stars in Fredericksburg TX!

Get away from it all at the Big Sky Guest House. Located 15 miles from Downtown Fredericksburg, Big Sky Guest House is the perfect spot to get away from the stress of everyday life. The only traffic jam you'll experience here is when the local cows, goats, or sheep decide the grass really is greener on the other side!

Bring your telescope or your camera to enjoy a night sky unspoiled by the lights of the big city, or just sit out on the front porch with the beverage of your choice and drink it in with your eyes. In the morning, enjoy a cup of coffee or tea on the back landing while you watch the sun come up to the sounds of nature and feel your stress melt away.

Into riding a motorcycle or a bike? Our back roads offer a beautiful ride, with 8.3 miles to Highway 87 and 8.7 miles to Highway 290. For hikers, we are just a short drive (22 miles) to Enchanted Rock.

If you decide you need a little more excitement (and live music), Hilltop Cafe is a mere 10 miles away and in 20 minutes you can be enjoying brisket mac and cheese at Hondo's. Fredericksburg offers a variety of shopping opportunities, the National Museum of the Pacific War, The Pioneer Museum, and many delicious eateries. Multiple Fredericksburg wineries and distilleries are within a short drive, and you can't miss going to Luckenbach for some live music at the dance hall!

The Big Sky Guest House is located on a 28-acre ranch, and your hosts live on property in a separate residence. Feel free to wander! Some of the wildlife you may see: hawks, humming birds, painted buntings and other songbirds, wild turkeys, white tailed deer, fox, roadrunners, jack rabbits, and armadillos. You'll also see and hear the not-so-wild goats, sheep, cows, llamas, and donkeys on neighboring ranches.

The rustic, metal roofed guest house offers:
Bedroom 1: king bed;
Bedroom 2: queen bed and twin-size bunk beds;
1 bathroom with walk-in shower;
Kitchenette including a Keurig coffee maker (we provide pods for coffee and tea), drip coffeemaker (bring your own coffee), toaster oven, microwave, refrigerator/freezer, electric skillet, double burner hot plate. If you prefer to cook outside, there is a gas grill on the back porch. There is a large living/dining area where you can gather to talk about your adventures, as well as a DVD player with 32” smart TV and a selection of DVDs available.

Need to stay connected? Cell service and satellite internet are present. Video conferencing will have latency -FYI.

***NOTE: We provide pillows, sheets, blankets/quilts, and towel sets. However, we know that you may prefer to bring your own pillows, linens, and towels. Not a problem!

My wife and I have 3 requirements for a VRBO; cleanliness, quiet, & comfort. Big Sky nailed all 3 plus we enjoyed beautiful sunrises, no city noise, an amazing array of wildlife to watch, and a beautiful drive through the country to reach Big Sky. We wanted to stay close to Fredericksburg, but just far enough away that we could see stars at night and not hear the city. Big Sky is perfect. This is definitely our "go to" place for future Fredericksburg trips.

About the host

Hosted by Eric Voigt

Host profile image
My wife, Jenny, and I are both native Texans, but we have traveled extensively and many of our travels included stays at vacation rentals. We've experienced the good - and the not-so-good. Our goal in renting our guest house is to provide our guests a chance to experience the natural beauty of the Hill Country and a lasting memory of a vacation well-spent.

Why they chose this property

As native Texans, we always knew we wanted to retire outside the big city of Austin. Fredericksburg always called to us, and we were lucky enough to find this property. We fell in love with the view and the quiet. We hope our guests will find it enjoyable as well.

What makes this property unique

If you've never seen the night sky away from the light pollution of the city, now is your chance! There is nothing more relaxing than sitting outside, listening to nature and watching the stars come out - or the sun come up, if you're an early riser! Spring and summer bring a wealth of flowers, butterflies, and hummingbirds. We enjoy being away from it all, but close enough to town that we can have brunch or an evening out. Every day brings something new to see.
