Buckhorn Cabin | Fredericksburg, TX
1/1 w/ Loft | 1790's Log Cabin | King Beds | Private Hot Tub | Golden Blocks/Walk to Main! | Indoor Seasonal Fireplace + more!
· · Rates for this property are based on double occupancy, additional persons beyond 2 will be charged $35 per person per night · ·

Buckhorn Cabin was originally built in 1790 in a small town in Kentucky. In 1995, the cabin was relocated and meticulously reconstructed on a private, tree-covered lot just three short blocks from everything downtown Fredericksburg has to offer! This original log cabin is loaded with Hill Country charm and amenities, making it the perfect location for anyone looking to experience authentic small-town charm and convenience.

Inside the cabin is a spacious bedroom with a King bed and an ensuite bath, featuring a rainwater shower-head. The main living area is home to an original rock wood-burning fireplace, vaulted ceilings, seating for your whole group, and a kitchenette with a breakfast nook! Upstairs is an open loft with an additional king bed, accessed by a ladder, original to the 1790s construction.

Outside, you'll find a large front porch with dual rocking chairs, a private hot tub, old-growth oak trees, and a stocked koi pond with a water feature. All the peace and quiet of a Hill Country homestead, paired with all the charm and amenities one expects at their home away from home!

The cabin was just lovely. I wasn't crazy about the lighting situation. I had to put my makeup on outside. You need a lamp upstairs. For older people sleeping in the loft and turning the light off down stairs. It's not safe. I have always stayed with absolute charm over the years. This cabin was amazing but the accommodations were absolutely minimum. For the money I was disappointed.

Beautiful Cabin

We booked this cabin stay for our 30th anniversary. The cabin itself is beautiful! It was wonderful to stay at a cabin that was mostly original and had beautiful wood floors and walls. But for us that was where the beauty stopped. The cabin is located 2-3 streets off of main so very convenient to Main Street shops, etc, but traffic could be heard from inside the cabin starting about 5:30 am and was constant for several hours and was a very busy road during the day to evening. Then the city was doing work on the road and so early each morning we heard maintenance and work trucks beeping and working; along with the road being blocked off several times making it difficult to get to the cabin driveway. Outside the yard is cute, but I wouldn't say it is private. Also the flowerbed had broken plant pot and was not well maintained. Inside the lighting was VERY dim and made it very difficult to see at times. Ladies, if you want to see in the bathroom to put on your makeup, you will need to bring your own lighted makeup mirror. The other issue with the bathroom was that the toilet ran to refill every 15-20 minutes all day and night. There were very nice TVs in the living room and bedroom which was nice for the evenings. The issue was there was not a comfortable place to sit in the living room. The couch was old and very stiff and low to the ground; the chairs were high winged back chairs and not comfortable either. The king size bed was nice and had a good mattress on it; the issue was that the sheets were slippery and would move several itches around under you every time you moved or rolled over. The pillows were very lumpy and off low quality. The metal bed frame at the foot of the bed blocked the view of the TV. There were boxes stored under the bed that stuck out, so you had to watch your feet as you got in and out of the bed. Overall, for the price we paid for a four night stay, this is not a place we would stay again. There is a for sale sign on the property which may explain why our experience wasn't the best we have had visiting Fredericksburg.

Beautiful cabin and property

We loved every second! We stayed here to be walking distance to Main Street and then we ended up just hanging out at the cabin most of the time. I didn’t even realize that there were 2 beds/bedrooms from the listing and the cabin was quite large. We loved the fireplace, but firewood/starters are not included so make sure to bring your own! We really enjoyed the hot tub, it was very clean and the temp was perfect… we also had a couple of neighbor kitties visit us everyday! One even tried to come inside lol… the bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was nice, although I could see it being a bit of a problem if there were 2 couples staying there since the toilet doesn’t have its own room. It did get a bit cold in the bathroom as well(it was freezing outside). Overall, wonderful stay and we would stay again!

Honesty

Very nice place. Very Good Beds. Quiet neighborhood and conveniently located. Lighting could be brighter, especially in bathroom. when we booked the cabin, it shows to have an inside jacuzzi and an outside jacuzzi. Upon arriving, the inside has been replaced with a big shower. Nice but really wanted the inside jacuzzi. Shower needs more water pressure. The advertising should be changed to reflect accuracy of cabin. Overall, it was a pleasant weekend.

Quaint but would not stay here again.

I never give negative feedback on my stays but I feel I need to, on this one. It's a beautiful cabin and could've been a wonderful experience. We were celebrating our 25th anniversary, therefore, I was very disappointed. Our stay was four days. First, there is no lighting outside the parking area, can't see the address. The house had a very strong smell of “smoked wood”. My eyes and throat took a beating the first 24hrs. The cabin stayed warm, so, we used the fans the whole time. My MAIN complaint. The shower didn't drain!!! We showered in a pool of dirty water. We literally had to wait 40min for the next person to shower. This should not happen!! The cleaning person should've noticed this. If all these items are fixed, it would be a great experience!! Thank you, Ymelda Vaughan

Buckhorn Cabin

We loved the charm of the Buckhorn cabin. It was cozy, comfy, rustic, and the location was unbeatable! My only suggestion would be some bathrobes, especially during the winter when we were running from the hot tub back to the cabin. Haha! Other than that, it was amazing! We will definitely stay again!

Birthday getaway

This was our first trip to Fredericksburg and won’t be the last. What a beautiful cabin and setting. We enjoyed our time on the porch with the view of the amazing trees and koi pond, so relaxing. Beds and linens were so comfortable. This cabin is very tastefully decorated, I would call it a little bougie. We absolutely loved the experience!

Buckhorn cabin

It’s a beautiful old log cabin that needs a little attention. Recliners for watching tv would be a huge plus. Cute little Koi pond that needs serious cleaning especially the filters. Need more light in the bathroom. We had a great trip and the manager promptly addressed the issue about the hot tub not working.

Pictures a bit deceptive….

Super easy to rent. Great location. HVAC struggles to cool first floor bedroom. Saw a couple cockroaches. Tub doesn’t drain worth a crap so you’re taking a shower in what amounts to a bath. The whole bathtub area is a disaster. It’s falling in and has mold and needs to be re done. Given the price, I was really disappointed.

Anniversary getaway 30 yrs.

We were very happy with the cabin , everything was very clean and great. I only have one complaint was going to use jacuzzi tub rinsed it all out and filled it just above the sprayer holes turned the pump on and it blew out mold and gunk into the water so un able to use it and hot water was barely warm . So the tub filter or pump should be turned on and cleaned but otherwise very satisfied with the place.
