About this property

Private Hilltop Farmhouse in Wine Country with Llama, Jacuzzi & Amazing Views

Truly one of a kind, The Farmhouse is set on our 11.5 acre farm, at A Barn At The Quarry, on a scenic hilltop in Texas wine country. This charming, spacious and well appointed, house is ideal for relaxing family getaways, family reunions, holidays, club retreats, joint couples vacations and entertaining large groups of guests after a fun day of enjoying Fredericksburg's many attractions.

We have a super charming and very funny magical non-spitting llama named Lorenzo and 2 adorable mini-donkeys (Espresso & Latte) who roam our property freely. They love people and will be as excited to meet you as we hope you are to meet them. They'll definitely be stopping by to say hello during your stay and pose for fun selfies with your guests. Miss Cookie our 1000 lb Oreo cow will be in her 9 acre oasis and you're welcome to pop by to give her a pet, a treat and a hello. All of our animals can safely eat carrots and apples and you're welcome to bring your own to have extra goodies to feed them during your stay. We do offer extra treat bags as well. (* For the safety of our animals and yours pets are not allowed *)

Relax with loved ones outdoors on the spacious 2 tiered secluded back patio with covered 12 person dining area, fire pit, outdoor bar & grill, and jacuzzi hot tub, overlooking the beautiful hill country views that go on for miles and the endless starlit skies at night.

The Farmhouse has two master bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, two living rooms with large screen TVs, a fully equipped modern kitchen with high end appliances, Keurig coffee maker and fully stocked with everything you need to cook a home cooked meal including pots, pans, silverware, cutlery, cups, wine glasses, shot glasses, and dishes. Upstairs are two large bedrooms and a bathroom. Just off the main living room, down a hall is our 2nd private living room in La Casita which has a queen sized pull out couch, providing a maximum accommodations for 12 guests.

There are books, card and board games under the TV in the main living room for your family and friends to enjoy and outdoor games by the hot tub. Our outdoor gas grill is connected directly to our gas line. (The red gas valve underneath will be turned off when you get there. If you could please turn it back off when you're done we'd greatly appreciate it.)

You're always welcome to bring your own firewood, carrots and apples. We do offer firewood & Smore's packages, private cheffing, special gift deliveries, large outdoor table and projector rentals and extra animal treat bags all upon request. Every guests stay includes a complimentary bottle of wine and animal treat bag as a special thank you from us.

Right next to our property is Grapetown Vineyard & Bankersmith Bar & Restaurant which offer food, live music and safari tours to see the zebras, camels, baby alpacas, baby goats and many many more just minutes away. Check their calendar for upcoming polo matches, crab feeds, hot air balloon festivals, ghost tours, grape stomps and regular live entertainment just minutes away from the Farmhouse.

Our property is a beautiful 17 minute drive to downtown Fredericksburg where you'll enjoy the beautiful view of all the picturesque farms and wineries along the way with long horns, horses, donkeys, llamas, wild white tail and axis deer, armadillos, foxes and so many other sites and treasures. There are thousands of wild deer that are free throughout Hill Country and you're sure to see them grazing in fields by The Farmhouse and on your drive to town.

If you're looking for an unforgettable, truly amazing and unique private location to entertain family and friends, with all the comforts of home, while enjoying spectacular unparalleled Hill Country views, and live on-site comedic animal entertainment then this is definitely the perfect place for you!

Perfect location, perfect house!
Thank you for giving us an incredible home base for exploring Texas Hill Country! We loved all the spaces for gathering, inside and out. Renting both the "main house" and the Casita for my parents gave them plenty of privacy, which was wonderful. We adored petting and feeding Espresso, Latte, Lorenzo, and even Miss Cookie the cow! For the bird watchers among us, it was a thrill to watch a crested cara cara fly right over the house as we sat on the comfy couch on the patio! We enjoyed the hot tub nearly every night, and felt cozy and safe inside the one stormy night. The stargazing was spectacular, and the eclipse! Watching the April 8 total solar eclipse from the hill behind the house gave us nearly 360 degree views of that amazing, breathtaking event. Thank you, Gianna, for being so responsive and thoughtful before and throughout our stay! It was very hard to leave your lovely home and those spectacular views. We hope to return someday soon!

Hidden hill country
We took a mom’s and kids getaway here in January and had a blast. The house has everything you could need, and more. The huge fire pit and hot tub out back were so much fun. The best part hands down are the cute animals! The kids loved them so much and didn’t want to go home! We also walked the huge property and were in love with the views, so gorgeous! We will definitely be back for another mom’s getaway! P.S. the house is about 20 min from and gas station so make sure you have what you need.. you won’t want to leave once you get out there!

Best Place I Have Stayed!
We stayed here over Thanksgiving & it was the perfect house for our family. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to make our Thanksgiving feast and the common areas were big enough to hold all of us. The outdoor area was great, our nephews had so much fun with the animals, and it was the perfect distance from town where you get the views but are only a short drive to all of the stuff you want to do. The only complaint would be water pressure/not having much hot water but other than that I cannot recommend this place enough!

Girls Getaway
We booked this home away from town for our girls getaway and were beyond pleased with our stay. The drive up to the house was beautiful! As we arrived to the house we were greeted by Lorenzo and his crew, what a pleasant surprise. All the animals were a bonus and were the highlight of our trip! The house was equipped with everything we needed. Beds were very comfortable. Plenty of space for all 9 of us. The hot tub and fire area is where we spent most of our time taking in the beautiful scenery. Book it! You will be glad you did. Thank You for sharing this home with us! We will definitely be back :)

Peaceful Retreat
We booked this beautiful home at the last minute after our father passed away and we were in town for his memorial. It was the perfect spot for healing and time together. The home had everything we needed for a restful stay. The beds were comfortable and the views were incredible. The kids loved seeing the llama and donkeys come to greet us each day.

The view was amazing and the living space was perfect! We had 4 couples staying for a 40th birthday weekend. It was perfect, everyone had their own space and we were able to hang out and enjoy our time together without being on top of each other. The owners are very nice. The property was clean and it’s just far enough away from town to be relaxing. It was THE BEST weeekend away!!

Gorgeous home and view
There were 8 people in our group and we all enjoyed our time. The view from the backyard is gorgeous, we enjoyed the fire pit and cooked s'mores as well. Home was equipped with everything that we needed. In the check information ( once booked) it does say there is not ice machine located on premises or with the fridge so we brought our little ice machine and that worked out well. Once thing that I didn't notice in the overview was there was stairs for 2 of the bedrooms on the 2nd floor, not a big deal for us but just a little good to know information. The livestock were very friendly! 2 donkeys, 1 llama and a cow.. we brought apples and carrots in addition to the snacks the home owner left for us... The Llama did not spit one time lol. We truly enjoyed our visit here and intend on booking another time when we make our annual trip! P.S. Home owner is very nice and sweet and displayed great hospitality!

About the host

Hosted by Gianna Gragnani

Host profile image
My name is Gianna and I am the proud owner and operator for A Barn At The Quarry which includes this beautiful 4 bedroom Farmhouse for rent in the heart of Fredericksburg's gorgeous wine country. Our Farmhouse is located on an 11 acre farm with a magical non-spitting llama, a 900lb Oreo cow named Cookie, 2 adorable mini-donkeys who love to love and a great deal of privacy. I was an event planner for years and have always loved creating amazing unique spaces and experiences for people and our Farmhouse is definitely that. We are also happy to accommodate guests special requests and offer rentals of large outdoor projectors, do private cheffing, surprise gifts for special guests and event support to those doing retreats, special holidays and reunions. As the third female owner of A Barn At The Quarry a lot of love and attention to detail has gone into our property. We love to entertain our own family and friends at the Farmhouse so it's a fully stocked and very warm inviting space. We have indoor and outdoor games, a fully stocked kitchen with anything you would need to cook or entertain. Extra pillows, blankets and towels available and spices in the cupboard just like home. I fell in love with the property because of how peaceful, serene and absolutely beautiful the view is and how happy it made me to be there and we hope that you get to come and enjoy some of that beauty, peace and happiness too.

Why they chose this property

If a peaceful private getaway in nature is what you need then this is definitely the place to be so you can snuggle up in the center of it.

The house is set up on a hill so it has gorgeous hill country views that go on for miles in three different directions. Sitting outside you are likely to see white tail deer, armadillos and other peaceful animals grazing and passing by.

For awesome unique entertainment both Bankersmith & Grapetown Vineyards are within 7 min. of the house. Enjoy a burger, live music shows and feeding baby goats at Bankersmith or one of the many weekend festivals, safari tours or polo matches at Grapetown Vineyards just minutes away.

If you are looking for an unforgettable experience, in a truly beautiful peaceful part of Hill Country, this is definitely the place for you.

What makes this property unique

What makes our property even more unique and special is that we have 2 adorable and lovable mini donkeys, and an ever hungry curious llama, that roam freely on our 11 acre property.

They come to us after retiring from a petting zoo, so they are very friendly and love people. They come and go as they please, but love to pop by and say hello to guests in the hopes of making a new friend who might give them a treat.

We leave a bag with animal treats for every guests in case you run into them and want to get a selfie or just make a new friend. Our Oreo cow Cookie also enjoys treats. You are welcome to pop by her pen to pet her and give her a treat. She slobbers a little, but always appreciates the love.
