The two- story cabin offers ample space, excellent beds and furnishings, original oil paintings by hill country artists, views that inspire, a fully stocked kitchen for a big country breakfast, a two-person whirlpool tub. 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 not a through 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. We invite you to come and retreat to little piece of Texas hill country heaven.
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 three miles from downtown Fredericksburg, so the shopping, restaurants, and fun are only minutes away. The beautiful amenities and full kitchen make you feel right at home. A safe place for children, a great place to bike and walk and gaze at the moon and stars. This is a great place for bicyclists because we are at the entrance point to most of the great biking roads in the Hill Country.

Why Laura Jenschke chose Hill Country
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.

Wonderful!

Wonderful stay in hill country! Very accommodating hosts! Adorable home.
We stayed at the Moonrise Retreat for a girls weekend in the hill country. The house is so adorable! All of the beds are very comfortable. Laurie stocked the fridge with breakfast supplies, which made the mornings very easy and relaxing. The house is only a 10 minute drive into town, but you are far enough removed from the city. Overall it was a great stay and I would highly recommend it for your next trip to this area!
Wide open spaces
We really enjoyed Moonrise Retreat in Fredericksburg. The house was cozy and worked for us just great. I had a hard time finding a place with multiple king size beds and that would accept dogs, so thank you. The outdoor patio/porches were a nice addition too.
It wasn't the best place for a 11 month old to crawl around, but otherwise we enjoyed it. The kitchen was well equipped but older appliances. Overall it was a great place to stay and we enjoyed the goats, horses and cows out back!
Thanks, Julie
Quiet and relaxing!
My two daughters, 3 granddaughters and I met for a weekend of relaxation and visiting and were not disappointed. Other than one run into town for charcoal, which we forgot to bring, we did not leave the property. We spent most of our time sitting outside on the porches and around the fire pit in the evening. The house is comfortable and cozy, very neat and clean. The beds were great and we so enjoyed the fresh eggs, bacon and breakfast items that were in the fridge for us! All of us couldn't have enjoyed our time more.
Great Experience
This property was perfect for us. We travelled with another couple, one couple on the first floor, one on the second. The house was stocked with quality linens and staples. The beds were very comfortable. The Weber charcoal grill was a nice surprise that we took advantage of. The views of the surrounding countryside were fantastic. We enjoyed petting the kitties and watching the horses, sheep and deer. We spent our days in the wineries and in town and returned in the evenings for relaxation, grilling and visiting. The property is very convenient to Fredericksburg and easy to find. We plan to return next time we visit. Thanks Laura for sharing your wonderful property :)
Girls Weekend
Four of my friends and I stayed at the Moonrise Retreat for a long weekend and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The location is great. You are out in the countryside, but convenient to Fredericksburg. We spent a lot of time on the porches and cooked several meals there. It has a home like feel with very comfortable beds. We loved the design of the newly added bedroom. You will enjoy Daniel and Laurie's place.
wonderful country setting
If you want the feel of the country, this is the place. Comfortable accommodations and plenty of breakfast items in the frig. We really enjoyed our stay at the Moonrise Retreat. We think you will too!

The surrounding Texas Hill Country is home to lush vineyards, making up one of the country's largest viticultural areas. Fredericksburg and the surrounding areas host many wine-tasting events at the many local wineries.
