Shady House with River Access , Sheep & Donkeys! | Cabin in Fredericksburg

Your own stretch of the Pedernales River with canoes & kayaks on 27 acres of working Texas ranch land — just 4 miles from Fredericksburg’s world-famous Main Street shopping, restaurants, and wine tasting. Peach orchard, friendly sheep, fire pit & BBQ grill. Hill Country the way it’s supposed to feel. Hill Country River Ranch isn’t just a place to stay — it’s a one-of-a-kind living piece of Texas history. The centerpiece is a recreated Old West town built around our original 1876 homestead, complete with a Feed Mill, Bunk House, water tower, oil derrick, antique wagons, and a vintage Texaco sign standing next to our barn. The sheep and baby lambs roam freely through it all, making this as much an experience as it is a getaway.
The three-bedroom, two-bathroom River Ranch house sleeps your group comfortably while 27 acres of wide open ranch land gives everyone room to breathe.
Just 200 yards from your door, the Pedernales River is the heart of the property. Kick back under the shade of the trees with a cold drink and a fishing line — bass, sunfish and catfish are all regular catches, and our record largemouth bass tipped the scales at 5 pounds. Grab a kayak or canoe and get out on the water, then gather at the riverside BBQ pit and picnic tables as the sun goes down. It doesn’t get more Texas than this.
When you’re ready to explore, you’re perfectly positioned for the best of the Hill Country — 4 miles to Fredericksburg’s Main Street, 15 miles to the legendary honky-tonk at Luckenbach, and about 20 miles to Enchanted Rock. With over 50 wineries and tasting rooms along the 290 Wine Corridor practically at your doorstep, you’ll never run out of reasons to linger.
Traveling with a larger crew? The property is home to four additional cabins, each with their own story. The iconic Silo — a restored 1921 peanut silo originally built to hold 10,000 bushels in Fredericksburg and relocated here in 2008 — is a guest favorite. Alongside it sit the Bunk House, Old West Cabin, and our Historic House, an original 1876 Texas Hill Country homestead. Rent all five and unlock our stunning 2,400 sq ft event center — a fully decorated barn venue with soaring draped ceilings, string lights, and a grand Texas flag deck with a moveable trellis and 32 benches. Perfect for weddings, family reunions, and celebrations you won’t forget.
Kayaks, canoe, and bikes are shared amenities available first come, first serve across the property — you might just share the river with four other lucky families. By appointment, guests can also access our private game room featuring Skeeball — just reach out to Mark to set it up.
Every stay includes a complimentary welcome basket stocked with cereal, bars and nuts, plus individual waters, orange juices, and milk in the fridge to get your morning started.
Pets: Well-behaved pets welcome with a $50 non-refundable fee per pet. As a working ranch with baby lambs and roaming sheep, all pets must stay leashed and cleaned up after at all times.
