We appreciate your kind words about the views and design, Mary. We look forward to welcoming you back!
It is an excellent and beautiful property. The attention to detail and comfort in design and experience are well done. A perfect location that is far enough from Fredericksburg proper for a peaceful retreat but close enough to get to all the things to do in the area.

Thank you for your review, Blas! We're glad to hear you found our property beautiful and appreciate the attention to detail in design and comfort. It's wonderful that you enjoyed the peaceful retreat while still being close to Fredericksburg's attractions. We hope to see you again soon!
Celebrated my 60th here with some good friends. Always love TX hill country wine visits. Property is ~10 mins from downtown Fredericksburg so easy access to shopping, restaurants, and the road into the wineries. Loved the regular visits from the local deer population. Would stay here again

Thank you for celebrating your milestone with us, Tim! I'm so glad you enjoyed the location and local wildlife. We look forward to welcoming you back for another visit!
This house is so beautiful!! It’s even better than the pictures and the back patio with the benches (that light up btw..) and the fire pit was the end to a perfect day. The bathrooms are amazing with that huge shower. 10/10 would love to stay there again!! And my guests were very impressed as well!

We are so excited to hear that y'all enjoyed the house, especially the back patio and bathrooms, Brianna! We appreciate your kind words and would love to host you again in the future!
Stayed here for 5 days with husband and sister. Loved the property! Very well decorated. Was very impressed! Had great bathrooms. Great place to sit outside in the evening’s watching the deer. Just a few miles out of Fredericksburg, so easy to go into when you wanted too. Don’t hesitate to rent this property!

Thank you, Joni! We're so pleased to hear you and your family enjoyed the property, especially the outdoor area and the décor. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to hosting you again!
This is a beautiful property outside of Fredericksburg. It is only a short drive into town. There is only a kitchenette, small refrigerator and no stove, but we were on vacation and didn't want to cook anyway. Only real draw back, no washer and dryer available to guests.

Thank you for the kind words, Lynn! We appreciate your feedback and are delighted to you enjoyed the property's location. We understand the inconvenience of not having a washer and dryer available and will take this into consideration for future improvements. We hope to host you again soon!
Lovely property out in the country. Furnished nicely. Figuring out how to lock the door was challenging.. and felt a little exposed in the bathroom with no curtains on the door. Even so, we enjoyed our stay and would return

Thank you for your feedback, Connie! We're pleased you enjoyed the lovely property and its furnishings. We'll take your comments about the door and bathroom privacy into consideration. We hope to welcome you back soon!
When my husband and I were looking for places to stay in Hill Country, we wanted somewhere beautiful, close to town but that felt secluded. This place was all of that! The pictures you see are what you’ll get plus more! One of our favorite things about staying here was watching the deer every evening 😍😍😍. We will be back for sure!

Hi Kerrie! We're thrilled to know you were able to enjoy the property and nature surrounding it! We look forward to hosting you again 🥰
This property is without doubt one of the very best in the Fredericksburg area. Superb rural location where you get the opportunity to truly relax and enjoy nature. The deer, in particular, love to come and visit with you, in some cases coming all the way up to the house.
If you want a 'get away from it all' experience then this is the place for you.
The standard of the accommodation and decor is second to none.
