We loved the view and how peaceful it was. Really enjoyed seeing all the wildlife! The cabin was perfect, just far out enough to get away from town but not too far of a drive to go explore Fredericksburg.

Awesome weekend getaway!

We really enjoyed our stay and the location. We were just a few moments from town but could have been a thousand miles away. There was a great breeze each morning on the back porch and we enjoyed our coffee and watching the deer and humming birds. The cabin is perfect for two people very private and comfortable.

Fantastic place to stay. Plenty of wildlife to see, clean cabin, fantastic for a couple. We've waited 17 years to be able to have a honeymoon and this was a perfect place to be. Definitely will want to come back. The hot tub was great as well with its lay down feature and no issues to report.

Great Secluded Cabin

This property was close to Fredericksburg, but still secluded enough away. The hot tub was great for relaxing in the evenings after a day in Fredericksburg. Wildlife in the morning for you to see when sitting on the porch having coffee. Can't wait to return for another relaxing weekend.

A must book cabin!

My husband found this cabin for a weekend getaway and it was absolutely perfect for two people! The location feels secluded but is still a short drive from Main Street in Fredericksburg. We absolutely loved seeing the deer in the back yard both morning and evening. The gas fireplace was an additional bonus! Super cozy cabin, can’t wait to come back.

Recharge with nature!

My husband and I loved our stay. The cabin is in a nicely secluded area and felt very private, yet we were only a short drive from Main. The wildlife is amazing! We saw so many deer! We had coffee on the back porch with the deer and birds every morning, explored the area which offers so many things to do, then relaxed under the stars in the hot tub each night. Highly recommend! We will be back!

Relaxing escape in the Hill Country

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We wanted a place just outside of town so that we could see the stars and that's exactly what we got! The privacy of the cabin, which is a single unit, was perfect to make this feel like a true getaway. The hot tub was the cherry on top after a long day of...relaxing and drinking a little wine! Make sure you make some time to walk the labyrinth. Right before dusk was a magical time and we saw many resident deer. We would absolutely stay here again and hope to do so soon!
