About this property

Private, quiet, rustic cabin. Minutes from Old Tunnel State Park

Experience rustic charm and warm hospitality at the Y Knot Cabin, perched on Mount Alamo just outside Fredericksburg. This cozy retreat features a queen-size bed with blackout curtains in the bedroom and a full-size pull-out sofa in the living room, making it perfect for couples. Start your mornings with fresh farm eggs from our free-ranging chickens and enjoy a cup of coffee, stocked with regular and decaf options, plus sugar, creamer, half and half, and stevia to suit your taste.
Relax on the back porch as you watch deer wander by in the morning and take in breathtaking sunsets in the evening. Conveniently located just 13 miles from Fredericksburg’s Main Street and the 290 Wine Road, the Y Knot Cabin is also a quick 10-minute drive to the historic town of Luckenbach. Don’t miss dining at the renowned Alamo Springs Café or exploring Old Tunnel State Park, lovingly known as The Bat Tunnel. Whether you’re here for the sights, serenity, or adventure, the Y Knot Cabin offers a welcoming haven you’ll adore."

Great little cabin on private property. No housese in site although the owners are nearby if you need them. Randy was very a great host. We enjoyed the quiet of this place. We watched deer morning and evening at the deer feeder located off the back deck. The cabin was clean and provided most everything that we needed. We look forward to coming back the next text we come to Fredericksburg.

Wonderfully Furnished and Perfectly Quiet

We wanted a really quiet place to stay for a weekend getaway, and Y Knot Cabin did not disappoint. Randy & Michelle were very communicative throughout the entire weekend (in a positive way, not an oppressive/pushy way). The property is lovely, and the cabin was just perfect. The kitchen was wonderfully well stocked (oils/seasonings/honey/dishware/coffee pot/pots & pans), and the fresh eggs in the fridge were a really nice touch. All of the linens were in good shape, the bed and furniture was perfectly comfortable. We really enjoyed staying here and talked about wanting to return (which seems to be a common theme from the other reviews and the guest book).Thanks!

Exceeded Expectations!

Randy’s cabin is a total gem! Exceptionally clean, spacious, and with beautiful views. If skies are clear you will have spectacular stargazing opportunities and you will see deer - lots of ‘em - all over the area. It’s located about 20 minutes from Fredericksburg so you can enjoy that quaint town and then sleep in the country, with the windows open, and enjoy the sounds of the nearby rooster doing his thing each morning- but not too loudly. Randy is a superb host and we enjoyed our stay immensely. Highly recommended!!

My husband and I along with our great Dane stayed at the cabin for a weekend so we could go to Fredericksburg and the surrounding areas. What I like about this place is you feel very isolated from other people. There are no other dwellings right next to the cabin. So it was nice to have silence in the mornings, and really dark skies to be able to see bright stars. It’s a great change of pace coming from the Houston area to be able to see deer, hear goats, chickens, and the birds chirping. We even saw a horse.The cabin is sparkling, clean and very cozy. The hosts had it decorated for fall and it made it feel very cozy, warm and welcoming. The hosts are excellent communicators, and everything about the process was super easy.

This was one of the BEST places we have stayed! From the minute my husband and I drove up we felt immediately at home. The cabin was spotless and so inviting and comfy, and the fresh farm eggs in the fridge were a nice touch. I loved the patriotic decor; it added such a homey feel to the place. The wildlife and scenery made the trip. We saw countless numbers of deer and axis on the property itself, and many more on our drives around the area. If you are looking for a secluded place that makes you feel right at home, this is your place. The hosts were extremely easy to communicate with. A 5-star stay for sure!!!!

About the host

Hosted by Randy

Host profile image
After moving to Alamo Springs in 2014, we fell in love with the peaceful hill country views and the unique charm of this area. We knew we wanted to share our love for this tranquil paradise with others, which inspired us to build a bed and breakfast on our property. It's been a joy to welcome guests to our slice of heaven, sharing the natural beauty, serene atmosphere, and quiet moments we cherish every day. Seeing others enjoy this special place as much as we do has been a truly rewarding experience.

Why they chose this property

After spending our entire lives in the Houston area, we decided to embark on a new adventure in Fredericksburg. The quiet hill country views of Alamo Springs immediately won us over, offering the peace and beauty we had been searching for. Every day, we find joy in watching and feeding the whitetail and axis deer, and our approximately 30 free-ranging chickens and four playful Nigerian dwarf goats add an extra touch of charm to our lives.
We’re proud to share this special place we call home with our guests at the Y Knot Cabin. Our passion for wine and our work with Fiesta Winery bring us closer to the vibrant wine culture that makes Fredericksburg so unique. For us, this journey is about more than just a change of scenery—it’s a celebration of the simpler, sweeter things in life.

What makes this property unique

The Y Knot Cabin is a labor of love, owned and personally cared for by us. From cleaning to adding thoughtful touches, we take pride in making it feel like home for every guest. With so many bed and breakfasts run by lodging services or out-of-town owners these days, we take special care to provide the small, personal details that truly make a difference.
We live right at the back of our peaceful 10-acre property, so we’re readily available should the need arise during your stay. It’s this hands-on approach and genuine care that sets the Y Knot Cabin apart, offering an experience as warm and welcoming as the hill country views that surround it
