About this property

Alamo Springs- The Barn | Relaxing Retreat

Natures lovers, walkers, cyclists and motorcycle riders... we have found the property for you. Your host has a definite idea of what Texas is all about and is anxious to share this love of Texas through his cabins. Located just across the street from the well known and popular Alamo Springs General Store and Café these cabins are not only beautiful and private, but they are comfortable too. Each cabin is set up for a romantic or just a casual weekend driving through the countryside. Let us introduce you to Alamo Springs Country Cabins.

The Country Cabin (1) and The Barn (2)
The first two cabins “The Country Cabin” and “The Barn” offer a rustic elegance. Each cabin has a long front porch decked with comfy rockers to enjoy a view of woods and wildlife. Inside these one room cabins you will find a king bed topped with luxury linens and fluffy decorative pillows. The bed is facing the open living along with the leather sofa (also a full size bed) and both are placed to enjoy the television and fireplace. A fully equipped kitchen has a range/oven, large refrigerator, microwave, coffeemaker and toaster along with the table which can easily seat 3—4 people. Guests favorite part of the cabin probably will be the bathroom with it's large corner whirlpool tub so important for those special weekends. It also has a separate shower. Ever taken a shower or washed your hair in rainwater? These cabins are supplied with pure, sparkling, clean and refreshing rainwater- and it tastes so good, you'll want to take some home.

Just outside the cabin your host provides a parking pad for motorcycles. Along with the special treat of having Alamo Springs General Store and Café across the road, guests may also be interested in the Bat Tunnel located just a short walk away. The Bat Tunnel is open in the evenings during the summer months. The cabins are only a short drive to Luckenbach. This special property has quickly become a favorite of outdoor enthusiasts.

For each extra person after the first two in your party, there is an additional $32/extra person/night (before tax) charge.

The home is pet friendly and will accept up to four dogs. However, there is a pet fee of $32/dog/night. Due to the fact that HomeAway/VRBO does not allow us to charge for more than one dog at the time of booking, please let us know if you will be bringing more than one dog, so that we can make sure that you are charged the correct amount. If you bring more than one dog and do not let us know, you will be charged accordingly. Furthermore, please bring crates for your dogs and crate them in your absence from the house, do not allow the dogs on furniture or beds, and pick up and properly dispose of their waste. If these rules are not followed, there will be an additional $200 charge added to your reservation.

Please Note: You are renting a cabin in the Hill Country which means you may encounter wildlife (Snakes, Deer, Racoons, ETC). Please be aware of your surroundings, and take caution while driving at night. You may also encounter the various bugs, spiders, scorpions and mice that live in the country AND sometimes do make their way inside. All properties do utilize pest control services on a regular basis BUT this does not guarantee no pests or bugs will be visible.

Peaceful, Quiet, Comfy
The Barn was perfect for our long weekend in the Hill Country- just outside of Fredericksburg but close to all the local attractions. The kitchen was stocked with all we needed; there were plenty of towels and linens, and sitting on the front porch was a treat in the mornings and evenings. Definitely recommend for a couple's getaway!

5 Stars - We love this cabin!
My wife and I have made a few trips to Fredericksburg over the years and the last two trips we have stayed here at the Barn. We absolutely love this cabin, we love the peace and quiet we can have out there. It's a bit of a drive from town but it's well worth it. We've recommended this cabin to family and friends and we will stay here any time we come for a vacation. Thank you to our hosts!

Second Time
Second time stay at this cabin. It was awesome. I loved the privacy. This time we had friends staying at the other cabin on the property. Only thing missing is a firepit. But with Texas droughts in that area, it is too big of a risk I am sure. We will return again.

We loved this little cabin. It was perfect for our weekend getaway, we really enjoyed the jacuzzi tub, soft bed, and that there was breakfast to cook in the fridge for us.

Great wine getaway!
Location gave you a feel of being in a luxurious isolated cabin in the woods, but there was a local restaurant with amazing food a block away! We were worried it was a little too far from wine country but it wasn’t far at all! Highly recommend visiting French connection wine and Calais. Property has a dvd player with a selection of options, an intimate 2 person whirlpool, fireplace with instant logs, biscuits with breakfast sausage, and coffee with creamer (you may need to buy more creamer-only minor downside.) Theres a wine opener in the mini kitchen so you can enjoy one of the selections you bring back.

Weekend get away.
We had a nice quiet get away. We enjoyed our stay at this remote cabin. We viewed the Solar Eclipse from the cabin, visited Alamo Springs cafe and went to a concert at Luckenbach. This cabin is close to everything, while still being away from everything. We will book again. Thank you for such a wonderful stay.

Thank you for the breakfast stuff it was the icing on the cake. It is the perfect lil cabin for a weekend retreat to rejuvenate and catch up with life. Again, thank you for an amazing stay! Until next time!

Best anniversary ever!
This beat out our first anniversary (Key West Fl) by far. The location and rental was beautiful. Quiet and relaxing w a short commute to town. This is a place we would definitely return to. This exceeded our expectations and made for a very memorable 2nd anniversary! We wouldn’t change a thing!

Getaway
We really needed to get away from everything for a couple days, and this cabin fit our need perfectly. The Alamo Rd Cafe was nearby for one meal and we were close enough to Fredericksburg to do some sight-seeing meals there. We also did a lot of driving in the area looking at the beautiful wildflowers, old ranch buildings and school rooms, etc. We did decide we wanted to be sure to get back to the cabin before night fall since the roads would have been treacherous. I really made use of the whirlpool, which helped with my arthritis. Only thing I would suggest is jam for the biscuits 😊 and a more comfortable couch.

A perfect cabin for 2 people, beautiful view sitting on the front porch, really nice hot tub, about 15 minute or less drive into Fredericksburg, full size fridge so you can put all your food in, with freezer. Reason for answer on property manager? No complaints.

This property is perfect for those wanting to discount .... very little cell / data service, no satellite TV, just the stars and sky above you. Fireplace is perfect for the cool evenings and the oversize bathtub is perfect for romantic evenings.
