The place was so relaxing and beautiful. Everyone was very pleased with our accommodations.

We had a family reunion and wedding event to attend nearby and were able to invite several additional family members to hangout and relax. The whole experience was very enjoyable.

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.

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!

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!

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.
