Great hill country get away.

Great Property, Even Better Managers

This property was exactly what we needed. It is clean, fun, and feels so peaceful. Above all, the property management was fantastic!! They communicated with me when needed, checked in to make sure everything was going well, and handled the one small issue we had very quickly. Would definitely recommend. We have rented it for another week already!!

Perfect place to stay in Fredericksburg!

Great Time Was Had!!!

We had a fantastic time at this property, and Jess, the hostess, was wonderful—extremely responsive and attentive. We stayed here to celebrate my wife’s 65th birthday with family and friends, and the location couldn’t have been better. It’s conveniently close to downtown Fredericksburg and several nearby wineries, making it easy to enjoy all the area has to offer. The pool was a pleasant surprise—larger and cleaner than we expected. Overall, we had a memorable and enjoyable stay!

The perfect little getaway!

This was exactly what we wanted. A relaxing space to unwind for a little bit. The location provided lots of entertainment simply watching the wildlife. Floating around the pool was wonderful. Although this property is a short two hours from home, it felt miles and miles away. We would definitely come back!

Great family stay at 5-acre Texas ranch

Overall, we had a great family vacation stay for 6 adults and 3 kids. Rural property just north of a famous Texas town. See whitetail deer every day. The pool is great for the kids. The kids enjoyed the ping-pong table and the adults the TV in the rooms. Kitchen accommodates meals for a full family. And the charcoal grill is good for outdoor cooked meals. It has a firebox to add wood for a smoked flavor. Over the week we did the following: a. The Alamo and Riverwalk, b. Enchanted Rock Park, c. Shopping in Fredericksburg, d. Fishing & Swimming at Blanco State Park, e. Natural Bridge Caverns, f. We ate at Cooper’s BBQ in Llano and The Rathskeller in Fredericksburg, g. Nimitz Museum and Pacific War Display, h. Used the BBQ for two dinners, i. Shopped many in town stores and j. Ended the week at Fredericksburg Trade Days all morning. During this week, we swam every day except one in the pool. 7/20/2024.

Eclipse viewing

My family and I stayed at Jess's property for four nights for a mini-vacation and eclipse viewing. The property is amazing: immaculate, well-appointed, and lovingly cared for. In particular, we were impressed with the high quality of the mattresses, sheets, and towels. Not to mention the pool towels ... My grandkids had a blast swimming in the pool. Everything was as described on-line and even better. All the instructions were detailed and clear. Jess always got back to me within 10 minutes or less. She is a gracious hostess and I hope to be back. Thank you again, Jess!

Girls Trip 2023

This property was exactly what we wanted!! Easy to get to, close to town, secluded, clean, spacious, and the pool was perfect! The main house is open with lots of natural light. The bedrooms all big and roomy with a king sized bed in each! There is also a guest house with 2 double beds and 1 queen and a full bath, but so close, all under one roof with easy access to main house and pool. The house had a few pool toys, but if you're planning on making that you purpose you may want to bring your own. Watching the deer in backyard went great with our morning coffee. The night swims were fun! We felt very safe. The kitchen utensils were there, but if your planning on cooking you ight bring what you need. There were 2 coffee makers (Keurig and 12 cup pot) both worked great. We had plenty of bath towels and pool towels to accommodate the 8 of us. Internet was spotty in the guest house, but not worth complaining about as we were there for fun and fellowship trying to stay "unplugged". I highly recommend this place for a large family, girls trip or couples retreat, it was a wonderful place to spend a few days and very relaxing in a quiet neighborhood~ Our hostess Jess was very accommodating and responsive to our communication. We would definitely stay here again if we come back to Fredericksburg!

Great getaway location

Had a great couple of days enjoying this property with my family. We were promptly taken care of by the Host (Jess). Quiet neighborhood, wide front, rear yard, and friendly neighbors(They told us about the fawns around the neighborhood and our kids got a chance to see them). Also, there are so many restaurants and grocery stores within a 10-15min drive from this property. Couldn't ask for more, spent a lot of time in the pool and in the backyard. what more could you ask for near Fredericksburg? We took a lot of pictures, and friends and family members requested info on the property. We will definitely be back if we come to Austin/ Fredericksburg, Texas.

We absolutely loved this clean, spacious, lovely home! Set on acreage with lots of trees, the property offers wonderful privacy. We enjoyed being out in nature. One of the highlights was waking up to the sight of deer through the kitchen window. Our family members ranged from 18 months to 68 years. Everybody agreed the beds are comfy and the bedding is soft. The big kids, including the adults, had a blast playing ping-pong. All of us loved dipping in the pool- so refreshing. The host Jess was great, attending to our needs and maintaining regular communication throughout our stay. It was a fantastic place to stay, and we will definitely return when traveling to Fredericksburg!

Amazing Hill Country Experience

We had the pleasure of staying at Jess' house in the Texas Hill Country and we cannot recommend it enough! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stunning natural beauty of the property. The large outdoor private pool was a particular highlight for us. It's the perfect place to cool off on a hot Texas day. Plus, with the ping pong table and TVs in every bedroom, there was always something fun to do. The interior of the home is just as impressive as the outdoor spaces. The living space is thoughtfully designed and beautifully decorated, with plenty of room for a large group of guests. Jess is a fantastic host and very responsive too! When we are in the area next, we will definitely be staying here again!
