Star gazers and sanctuary seekers!

Unique rock masonry tells the story of a property in the family for 6 generations -- 1850 and a time when Indians still called it their land too. It's an oasis far enough from the city to hear only nature sounds, but just 20 minutes from Fredericksburg restaurants and Main Street wineries. Hang out by the firepit, grill, watch the birds and soak in a panoramic star view at night -- free of tall buildings, bright lights and urban noises. Take in a an unforgettable dark sky experience.

Stars and Serenity
We absolutely loved our stay at this remote location. The house was cute and clean. We really enjoyed the hammocks at night stargazing. The Milky Way was visible! Loved seeing the deer and cows. The quiet at night was something I will miss. We will be back.

Perfect!
Beautiful property with amazing history! Perfect setup for 3 couples. Bedrooms are spacious & beds were so comfortable! Kitchen, dining room & living room were just what we needed! The chairs around the firepit were perfect but the wind was too strong for us to attempt a fire. We set up the rolling hammocks anticipating a beautiful star-filled sky but the clouds put a damper on that but we are already planning a trip back!! We did have a little hiccup but the host is awesome & he worked hard to make everything right! We definitely recommend this property & we will recommend it to all our friends heading to Fredericksburg! It is out in the country but it’s a short drive to town or to Enchanted Rock.

Star gazzing
It was a great secluded location. No lights around near by great for star gazzing and remote location experience. Our kids loved the open field to play and enjoyed the night camp fire spot. Sofa, floor and laudryroom sink was not clean properly. Otherwise it was a perfect getaway location.

Wonderful retreat from the city!
This beautiful home in the Hill Country was absolutely perfect! The peace and quiet were amazing. We had everything we needed and felt completely secluded. It was spotless and everything smelled so clean. We can't wait to stay again!

Breathtaking view.
Had a relaxing stay with a fantastic view. Nice and quiet but not too far out of town. Watched deer and had coffee every morning. We would come back easily.

Apt House Name
The house is aptly named with considerate hosts. In an ideal location, away from everything and close to Hill Country activities. You can see the Milky Way at night relaxing in comfortable hammocks, watch the sunrise on a bench swing on the front porch with a large cup of coffee and see deer walk by, and are within minutes to vineyards, shopping, and restaurants. The house is spacious and comfortable, in all a very relaxing place.

Early Thanksgiving with family
This property is very remote, which is what we wanted. My cousin lives nearby and we searched properties near their home. We were very pleased with our stay. The stars were beautiful from this property, and the firepit was very enjoyable.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Loved that the house is secluded and completely private. Truly a perfect star gazing location with the multiple hammocks provided. The house is Clean, well designed with ample storage and open concept. A little far from Fredericksburg town, but you can drive back to come & relax at this private wide open sanctuary. Note: Google maps does not direct you to the exact location of the house, while Apple Maps did.
