Fantastic country house close to town

We had a fantastic stay in Fredericksburg for a wedding of a close friend. My husband was best man and needed to have the groomsmen get ready with us on the day of so while this house was bigger than needed for just our family we appreciated the extra rooms and bathrooms to host them.

Family Vacation

We had a family vacation and needed space for everyone to sleep, gather and have outdoor fun. The Rockhouse nailed it. We also rented the little separate Tank house. We had 2 issues with the AC and the owner immediately sent someone out to fix it. Property is beautiful, very close to town yet out so you have privacy. We loved staying there for 6 days and we highly recommended it.

A good find

Great location, close to downtown. 1896 gem that has obviously been cared for over the years with awesome renovations, plenty of space. Did not feel like an old house. However, someone should go through and do some serious dusting. Would recommend just tossing the fake floral arrangements and knickknacks that are too coated in dust to add any appeal. Kitchen wasn’t used much, but could be better stocked and again, cleaner. When we arrived, there were clothes in a dryer and dishes in the dishwasher that weren’t cleaned, so I suspect it stopped mid cycle on accident. I didn’t really enjoy unloading someone else’s dishes on my vacay. All in all, we would stay there again due to the location and spacious layout. Thank you.

We had a reunion with group of old friends. The property allowed us to all come together for the day to fellowship with each other and catch up. 3 families stayed on property while others drove in from surrounding communities. Plenty of room to spread out.

Spring Break getaway

While the property has two rentals, we felt very cozy and enjoyed our stay and proximity to Fredericksburg and all the local State Parks. In your description you should mention the fabulous fire pit. We took a chance and brought wood and we were so glad we did!

Lovely getaway

The Rock House Hideway was a great choice for our family Christmas getaway. The house was clean and well cared for. Lots of seating and room for everyone. Our only issue was a broken dishwasher. It would have been nice If we had been told so wr could have brought paper goods rather than wash dishes.

An Absolute Blast in Fredericksburg Texas

We love the Rockhouse Hideway and the property owners are so awesome and readily available to help if you need anything. This house does not disappoint big and it has everything you need and a lot of sleeping space. When you stay make a reservation to go visit the Velvet Lounge you WILL NOT want to leave that place. We will make yearly trip and we will always stay at the Rockhouse Hideaway or The Tankhouse which is on the same property.

Perfect property for a group

My family enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property! The house is roomy and comfortable. There is a large back area with picnic tables and plenty of room for everyone to gather. The house is on a large plot of land so you have a lot of privacy and space but it is only a few minutes from wineries and downtown. Danielle is a gracious host and always responded quickly. You won’t regret staying here when you visit Fredericksburg and need plenty of room!

Fredericksburg delight!

This is the second time we’ve stayed at this property. We rented both the house and the small adjoining tankhouse both times. My group was 9 people and we were very comfortable for the four day stay. Both houses are very well appointed, very clean and very easy to locate. VRBO states Check in is at 3 pm. The manager texted me and stated it was 4 pm. Not a big deal but after a 4 hr drive to Fredericksburg we had to wait an hour to access the property. I would like the manager to consider offering the adjoining barn, used as an event space including a large fire pit and big screen TV , for a reduced charge to people who rent both houses. During our stay, the barn was locked seemed like it was used as a storage facility for spill over couches and tables. We were part of a larger group of several families staying throughout the town. It would’ve been fun to gather around the beautiful fire pit after dinner and live music in town. That being said, the entire property is quintessential hill country and cozy. The owners have gone a great job restoring and furnishing the property. I would definitely rent this property again .

Wonderful stay!

We loved our stay at the Rock house! Sitting on the front porch watching the kids play was my favorite! Secluded, but still very close to Main Street. It was perfect! We had an issue with the a/c and Danielle, the owner, came right away and had a guy there to fix it within 20 minutes, at 9:30pm! We hope to be back again one day!

Lots of space and good layout!

Loved the layout of the home. We went to the Peach Jamboree with family and kids. Loved the layout of the home. Upstairs has a room with a king bed, a room with a queen bed, and then the Bunk room (3 queen beds). DOwnstairs has a lovely living area, kitchen, dining. Then attached to that is the "guest house" which has (1) a small entry way, (2) a large master bed room, (3) a large master bathroom, and then (4) a smaller closet sized room with a full bed that is only accessible through the master bedroom and bathroom. The only caveat was that there was an oversight on the bedding/sheets on one of the queen beds but the house other than that - absoutely great stay! kids loved it, we loved it!
