Jumping Goat Ranch is a beautiful property with several rentals places of all sizes. We stayed at the Guesthouse, which is near the main residence. It was very private and well situated on the property, taking advantage of a gorgeous, hill-side view. We thoroughly enjoyed the porch in the morning and evening, as well as the spacious, beautiful home. It is impeccably decorated, yet very welcoming. We will definitely consider staying here again when visiting the Fredericksburg area.

To begin, I must express my profound admiration for the accommodations we recently enjoyed. We shared the property with another couple, and it proved to be an ideal size for our group of four. The view was breathtaking, and the overall cleanliness was exceptional. The beds were exceptionally comfortable, and the panoramic view was simply stunning.After a day of sightseeing and visiting Brooke’s Bubble Bar, the hot tub provided a welcome respite. It was particularly enjoyable to observe the playful donkeys and graceful deer roaming nearby.Our sole recommendation is to install a wooden walkway between the stairs and the hot tub for enhanced safety and convenience. We will be back in 2026!!

Our stay was excellent! One thing, which isn’t a huge deal, is there is a loud ‘click’ noise when first putting pressure on the bed in the master bedroom. This seemed to happen from both sides of the bed, but once settling in, the bed didn’t make noises. Additionally one of the brown stools at the kitchen counted needs to be thightened up or repaired. Other than those 2 extremely minor items, that was it. This in no way took anything away from our stellar experience, but something I feel the property owner should know about.. Thank you for everything!!
