The beautiful and new construction sits on 11 acres on the hilltop with a million-dollar view overlooking the gorgeous Fredericksburg hills and valleys. It offers a remote location on Flying Ranch, perfect for those who need to get away from it all; however, you are only 14.5 miles from the heart of Fredericksburg.

This cabin features an inviting front and back porch to sit and relax on - the provided gas grill is perfect for warm-weather barbecues with your group. You'll love taking advantage of the hot tub after a day of adventure. When lounging outside, you are welcome to feed the deer some corn if they show up. Inside, you will find a cozy living space with sofas, a TV with DirecTV, and an electric fireplace; a four-person dining table; and a fully appointed kitchen with all the essentials, including a full-size fridge, stove, oven, microwave, and coffee maker.

Enjoy the Crabapple Creek on Kesse Rd to sit and relax with beautiful rocks to walk and sit in the water. You're just four miles away from the old General Store/Frontier Outpost - stop by, grab a cold drink and enjoy listening to music on weekend nights.

Perfect anniversary get-away!

Very private location, loved the front porch and the view, relaxing in the hot tub was perfect after a long day of walking/hiking. This cabin definitely gets 5 stars from us.

Great Place

This is a great place to stay, secluded and very private. Couple of suggestions to make it even better. Turn on the hot tub a day before arrival, it took 24 hours to get it up to operating temperature. More wash clothes would be ideal, 2 for 2 people for 2 days is just not enough.

Getaway

Perfect place for a quiet secluded weekend getaway. Hot tub didn’t work but that wasn’t that big of a deal to us. It was nice and deer were everywhere. Not a bad drive into town to do shopping and restaurants.

Peaceful Hideaway

We truly enjoyed watching the deer all around including the cows! If you enjoy being away from town and have your own space this is the place!

No hot tub. Awful bed.

The primary reason I chose this property was because it offered a hot tub. Once we checked in, I noticed the hot tub water was cold and not in good condition, so I called and texted the contact person, Ashley. She told me the hot tub was not working and I “should’ve been notified sooner.” She said she would be sure I got a refund. I have never received a refund, even after checking back with Ashley. As multiple reviews stated, the bed is uncomfortable because it does not have enough support under the mattress and the whole bed moves when you do - it was awful. There were nicer aspects of the cabin but these two issues prevented good rest and relaxation.

Great Stay in Fredericksburg

The cabin was just the right size for my wife and I! We received excellent service from the cabin caretaker Ashley, she was very helpful. It was a great relaxing getaway in the hill country, not to far away from the Main Street, it was about a 20 min drive to the Main Street.

Beautiful secluded property

My husband and I had a really nice, quiet 3-night stay here at the end of September. The cabin looks pretty new so it was very clean and decorated very nicely. It had pretty much everything we could need. I found the bed very comfy! We put corn out for the deer and had a few each day come by. We really loved the porches on front and back. The rocking chairs were great to sit and enjoy the peacefulness and watch the spotted burros grazing next door. The drive to town was less than 15 minutes so we had plenty of time to come back to the cabin in the heat of the day. The barn doors from the bathroom to the bedroom were a bit quirky because they didn't close good or stay open completely but they had lots of character. There were plenty of towels and hot water. We would definitely recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a nice getaway.

Need to Unplug

Great place if you want to unplug. Pretty scenery, saw deer every day, very secluded. Things to know: 1) cabin is 15 miles south of Fredericksburg. (2). TV gets very few channels (3) Wi-Fi is slow.

Cabin review

We really loved the coziness of the cabin . And also the cleanness. Cabin had everything you need from cooking utensils to outdoor and indoor games . I hate to even have anything bad to say but the bed was really uncomfortable.
