Summary:

Escape to Shady Lane Lodge-a dazzling luxury log cabin sitting secluded on 3 acres in the heart of Texas Hill Country. With space for 16 spread out over 3500 exquisite square feet and a separate game room, Shady Lane Lodge has enough space for the whole family. Plus, it's wheelchair accessible. Located just two miles from town, you'll enjoy the calm serenity of this remote-feeling location while still being close to the shopping, dining, and entertainment of bustling Main Street Fredericksburg.



The Space:

Six Minute Drive to Main St. | Pet Friendly (with fee) | Wheelchair Accessible



The rustic log cabin facade of Shady Lane Lodge is reminiscent of a classic Texas farmhouse, surrounded by mature shade trees and acres of picturesque countryside. Once inside, the entire home is finished with charming knotty pine paneling. A double-sided stone fireplace anchors the soaring vaulted ceilings in the living area in the center of the room. Sun-kissed skylights allow the natural light to flow in and highlight the leather sofas, plush armchairs, and large HDTV.



On the other side of the fireplace is the farmhouse dining table with seating for six—a peninsula bar with seating for four leads into the bright and pristine kitchen. Natural wood cabinets continue the rustic vibe, while sparkling granite countertops and high-end appliances add chic and modern convenience. Brew a pot of coffee in the mornings, warm some blueberry muffins, and let your whole crew linger here while you discuss the day's upcoming adventures.



The primary suite on the main floor is entirely accessible and features a sumptuous king-size bed, HDTV, and a leather armchair. The ensuite bathroom has a double marble vanity and a zero-edge step-in shower with handrails, a bench, and multiple showerheads. The second guest bedroom also includes a king-size bed and HDTV. Another full bathroom has a tub/shower combo surrounded by unique, artistic tiles. The main floor consists of a spacious laundry room with a washer, two high-efficiency dryers, and a sink.



A lofted catwalk overlooking the living area below leads to the third and fourth bedrooms on the second floor. The third bedroom has two queen-size beds wrapped in vintage-inspired, colorful quilts. The attached bathroom has a step-in shower with elegant subway tiles. The fourth bedroom also features two queen-size beds.



The detached, two-car garage has been transformed into the most fabulous game room you've ever seen. A large leather sectional sofa faces the flatscreen television, creating the perfect spot to catch the game with a couple of cold beers. There's a regulation-size pool table, too— for challenging your crew to a game or two. Knotty pine walls and rugged metal paneling on the ceiling give the game room a laid-back, rustic style. Outside, a fire pit is surrounded by colorful, comfortable Adirondack chairs— a perfect spot to sip some wine and stargaze.



Shady Lane Lodge is designed to accommodate large groups of friends and family easily. You'll all be able to stay close together yet still have plenty of space to spread out. When you're ready to explore the gorgeous Texas Hill Country, vineyards, horseback riding, and hiking are nearby. Plus, the excitement and charm of downtown Fredericksburg— only two miles from your door.
