50th Birthday Getaway

Loved Distant View! The view and the wildlife was amazing. Close to downtown Fredricksburg but out where you can relax and here the birds and quietness. Will definitely stay here again.

Oh, such a perfect little place!

Breath-taking sunset view. The bottle of wine and a basket of the best snacks ever were so tasty and perfect. The hosts thought of everything. The fireplace didn’t work, but the cute little fireplace DVD was a sweet little touch. We were obsessed with the birds (even cardinals and bluebirds!) and the deer. Can’t say enough good things about this place. Can’t wait until next time!

Amazing Views & Cozy

The B&B was perfect for our anniversary stay. The views are spectacular and those sunsets will be the thing I miss the most! The deer feeder is such a sweet touch and awesome to experience. The wonders thought of everything we may have needed to make it a cozy stay with my husband.

We absolutely loved our stay here. The pictures on the website don't do this place justice, and they already paint a very pretty picture. Highly recommend staying here if you love picturesque views of hill country, sunsets, and wildlife.

Great Location

This quaint property was perfect for a getaway to Fredericksburg! Location was out of town but easy to access town and many wineries. The house is located on a property with the owners house but still has privacy. The bottle of wine and homemade banana bread were a sweet addition as well. My only disappointment was that the fireplace was not working.

Fantastic stay!

My husband and I stayed here and it was perfect! 7 miles outside of town, no hustle and bustle. The zip line to feed the deer is genius! The kitchen is stocked with utensils, there’s a mini fridge, and comfy couch. All you need to sit back and relax! The sunset on the deck is beautiful. Gene and Lyn truly have a piece of heaven. Rent this space, you will not be disappointed!

Adventure for TX wine

My husband and I sought to escape the bright lights of the city and go in search of TX wines. This property fit our needs for the days we were seeking. The unit didn’t have a working fireplace and we were gifted a bottle of wine in exchange. The property was comfortable and quiet. Easy to come and go.

Great little getaway in the Hill Country

My wife wanted to get away over the 1st couple of days of her Thanksgiving break from teaching, and we had long been trying to find time to get down to Fredericksburg to see the National Museum of the Pacific War, so I started looking for a place to stay in the area back in early September. Unfortunately, even then, normal hotels were booked solid or overpriced for their amenities. I started looking on AirBNB and VRBO and found the Distant Views property and decided to reserve it. It was a great choice, and my wife was thrilled with it. It is quiet, private, and well-equipped for a couple of days of relaxation away from our busy lives, but still close enough to town that we could come and go and not feel like we were spending our trip driving around. There is a large herd of deer that live in the nearby woods and come out periodically. The owners provide food that you can give to the deer (either by a zipline or by throwing it off the balcony) and seeing them up close was my wife's favorite part of the trip. Overall, this was a great couple of days away from our normal hectic schedules and we enjoyed the cabin.

Nice Little B&B With a View

We purposely wanted a quaint little place outside Fredericksburg, that allowed small pets. The picture on the posting sold us, as we love sitting outside in the morning and evening. The star view at night was amazing, along with the distant lights of Fredericksburg. One enjoyable bonus was the ingenious zip line deer feeder, allowing us to remotely feed bags of corn to the animals, along with the container of corn. The welcome basket, with wine and banana nut bread was awesome, the place was neat and clean. Perfect for us and we plan to rent again, when heading back to the Texas wine country.

So cozy and charming!

We really enjoyed our stay! If we’d known how much we would have loved it, we would have booked a longer stay! The owners thought of everything and even provided a bottle of local wine for us to enjoy! We loved feeding the deer morning and evening and star-gazing at night! Will definitely stay here again!

Private, well-stocked and great views

What a great property! Loved the view and the deer. One of the best stocked properties we've ever stayed at. Snacks, yogurt, banana bread, milk, coffee, local bottle of wine. Gene was super friendly and everything we needed was there. Feeding the deer each morning and evening was a bonus. We'd definitely stay again and will recommend to friends.

Stunning experience!

The pictures cannot convey all the special touches that make up this incredible experience. Waiting for us when we entered the apartment was a beautiful basket of snacks that included homemade banana nut bread and a bottle of wine from a local vineyard. The view and sunsets from the balcony are breathtaking, the wildlife is abundant and put on a show daily! The owners rigged up a system where you ring a bell and send feed down to the deer! They come running from all over when you ring the bell! This is our new “go to” spot for our Hill Country stays in the future. LOVED it!
