About this property

1851 Cabin at Wolf Creek Guest Ranch

This stunning log cabin was built in 1851 in Arkansas. The logs were carefully numbered, taken down and rebuilt at Wolf Creek Guest Ranch, in the Tx Hill Country just outside of Fredericksburg.
With an added bathroom, kitchenette, porch and private patio you will be very comfortable and love being here! This cabin is so private and quiet you will think you are really remote, while being very close to both Fredericksburg and Kerrville. 1851 cabin has a huge stone fireplace for you to enjoy on chilly nights.
This ranch has plenty of wildlife and birds to keep you looking outside for what you might see next.
Wolf Creek is a working horse ranch and home to Kerri April, a Happy Horse Happy Life Master Horsemanship Instructor. We have a pony pasture for you to interact with the ranch miniature horses, Moonshine and Smokey along with the petting goats, Goaty and Rosie.
Enjoy your private outdoor patio with a charcoal grill for a bbq. We also have an outdoor swimming pool, shared with our other guests, an outdoor fire pit and walking trails to the catch and release fishing pond. Nights are beautiful here with a magnificent night sky. The stars are stunning and seem so close that you could reach out and touch them.

Fabulous location and a great lodge. Kerri so easy to deal with and helpful. We had the most calm and tranquil few days but also so easy to get to Frederiksburg, a very cool town with awesome food options. Thanks Kerri, really hope to be back some day

Couldn't have picked a better place. From the scenery to the cabin we stayed in was perfect. The only problem is my envy of Kerri and her ranch!! Thanks again for being so welcoming.

A-Mazing!!!

The 1851 Cabin was beyond my expectations! It was a great step back in time in the absolute best way. Every night I fell asleep thinking about how it would be to live in that time period.

True Texas Experience

This cozy little cabin in the hill country of Texas was just what we needed for rest and rejuvenation. The stars! The quiet! The peaceful surroundings! The gentle little goats to brush and pet! All wonderful! And, all within driving distance of phenomenon wineries and great cowboy boots!

Rustic & Peaceful

We enjoyed our stay in this historic cabin. It was like stepping back in time but with all the modern conveniences. Great front porch for spending time with family. The fireplace was an added bonus as well as the array of livestock to pet and love on. The mattress was a little firm for my liking but overall it was a great place to stay. There is a great winery a couple miles south. I’d definitely recommended this cabin if you are looking for peace & quiet in a central location.

Great Escape

We went here for an anniversary weekend. It was a beautiful ranch and we really enjoyed not having tv or internet. The property is beautiful and in the mornings I saw deer about 30-50 yards from the house. The only negative of the whole trip was that I didn’t have one more day on this vacation. I went fishing while my wife read her books for a couple of hours each day. Overall lots of fun and would recommend for people looking to unplug and enjoy the beautiful scenery and fun of Fredericksburg.

Cozy Romantic Winter Getaway

I 100% would return to this amazing property. The check-in/check-out process was smooth and easy. Communication with the host was top notch. They are so sweet and caring. We were there during the most recent freeze and their concern for our warmth and comfort/ safety in the cold was heartwarming. We had everything we needed throughout our stay from toiletries, to kitchen needs, to blankets and puzzles and books. We slept in the loft bed because the mattress was more comfortable and the sheets and blankets were soft and snuggly. I slept better than I have in a long time. The cabin itself and the property were soul healing and magical. I was in the need for a quiet getaway after an emotional holidays and this cabin offered us the privacy and solice I was needing, well except from the sweet nosey horses that came to check on us as we were grilling our dinner and were there in the morning/afternoon to greet us a good day. There's always something healing about the way a horse can look into your soul. The stars were magnificent. Bring firewood, the wood burning fireplace was the icing on the cake. The terrain is a bit rocky so this may not be the place for people who struggle with stairs or uneven gravel. But other than that, there is no reason why you should not book this cabin or any other the ones on this property. If its available, just book it, you wont be disappointed.

Peaceful, lovely retreat

My family and I enjoyed a short hiatus here, seeking a quiet weekend getaway convenient to Fredericksburg and Kerrville. The cabin was comfortable, quiet and fine for our short stay. The kitchenette is small, but we made ample use of it and the grill to cook several meals. The sweet goats and horses made our trip all the more enjoyable! Kerri was quick to respond. Stay here!

Why they chose this property

With a glass of wine and a warm fire in the winter or outdoors, on your private deck or patio in the summer, truly creates a relaxing and romantic setting.
Wolf Creek Guest Ranch offers guests so many activities during your stay. Walk down to the catch and release fishing pond and enjoy the ducks and wildlife, or paddle around on the canoe for a bit.
