Big Sky Guest House, 2bd, 1bath, Enjoy the stars in Fredericksburg TX!

Get away from it all at the Big Sky Guest House. Located 15 miles from Downtown Fredericksburg, Big Sky Guest House is the perfect spot to get away from the stress of everyday life. The only traffic jam you'll experience here is when the local cows, goats, or sheep decide the grass really is greener on the other side!

Bring your telescope or your camera to enjoy a night sky unspoiled by the lights of the big city, or just sit out on the front porch with the beverage of your choice and drink it in with your eyes. In the morning, enjoy a cup of coffee or tea on the back landing while you watch the sun come up to the sounds of nature and feel your stress melt away.

Into riding a motorcycle or a bike? Our back roads offer a beautiful ride, with 8.3 miles to Highway 87 and 8.7 miles to Highway 290. For hikers, we are just a short drive (22 miles) to Enchanted Rock.

If you decide you need a little more excitement (and live music), Hilltop Cafe is a mere 10 miles away and in 20 minutes you can be enjoying brisket mac and cheese at Hondo's. Fredericksburg offers a variety of shopping opportunities, the National Museum of the Pacific War, The Pioneer Museum, and many delicious eateries. Multiple Fredericksburg wineries and distilleries are within a short drive, and you can't miss going to Luckenbach for some live music at the dance hall!

The Big Sky Guest House is located on a 28-acre ranch, and your hosts live on property in a separate residence. Feel free to wander! Some of the wildlife you may see: hawks, humming birds, painted buntings and other songbirds, wild turkeys, white tailed deer, fox, roadrunners, jack rabbits, and armadillos. You'll also see and hear the not-so-wild goats, sheep, cows, llamas, and donkeys on neighboring ranches.

The rustic, metal roofed guest house offers:
Bedroom 1: king bed;
Bedroom 2: queen bed and twin-size bunk beds;
1 bathroom with walk-in shower;

My wife and I have 3 requirements for a VRBO; cleanliness, quiet, & comfort. Big Sky nailed all 3 plus we enjoyed beautiful sunrises, no city noise, an amazing array of wildlife to watch, and a beautiful drive through the country to reach Big Sky. We wanted to stay close to Fredericksburg, but just far enough away that we could see stars at night and not hear the city. Big Sky is perfect. This is definitely our "go to" place for future Fredericksburg trips.

This was so surprisingly awesome. It is a perfect getaway from suburban life. The owners made us feel like family. The guest house is on their property but far enough away that you feel on your own piece of heaven. We truly enjoy the animal life around us. We will be back (I hope).

Came for Oktoberfest, will come back for the breathtaking sky and amazing hosts.

The home is so inviting and comfortable. We really enjoyed our weekend at the property. We spent Saturday in Fredricksburg at Oktoberfest, the drive into town is fun with the winding roads, views and animal sightings. While at the property our family had fun watching and talking to Rocky and Bullwinkle. We also brought our telescope along and were not disappointed with what we could see. The sky is beautiful. Jenny and Eric went above and beyond. We were celebrating our 13 yo birthday and they decorated the table with balloons and flowers, gave her a card and her favorite dessert. She definitely felt special!! They even sent us easy to follow directions. Thank you for being a part of our fantastic weekend getaway.

Wonderful Hosts and Property

We loved our stay. It was the perfect location for us we had family about 5 miles away. The property was immaculately clean and they provided many great items. They had coffee, toiletries and even made us ice and put water in the fridge. We loved the view, fire pit and longhorn cows walking around. The hosts were very communicative and helpful. Overall it was just a great experience.

Eric and Jenny's guest house is an extremely nice, very comfortable place to stay while exploring Texas hill country and local wineries. They are amazing hosts and excellent communicators about everything related to the stay and the area. We had lots of questions which they very promptly answered. We would highly recommend Eric and Jenny's guest house to anyone wanting to spend some time exploring Texas hill country and enjoy some peace and quiet!

Stars and Longhorns

We really enjoyed our stay! The kids loved seeing the longhorns walking around close by. We got to relax and enjoy the scenery by the fire pit. With the clear sky, the stars are so pretty! The house has ample space and games inside. My daughter loved making hot chocolate in the coffee maker, so it was great that was an option! We liked chatting with Eric and Jenny when we saw them. It is about 25 minutes to town, but there are a lot of animals to see on the drive!

Great long weekend!

We drove in with our three littles from Houston for a long weekend. The drive is fun as there is a lot of livestock to see that entertained the kids on the country roads. The hosts were very gracious with things like bottled water and firewood and were extremely great communicators prior to and throughout the stay. We enjoyed walking the property with the kids and long camp fires in the evening. We had a great time!

The property is gorgeous, and the hosts were beyond kind and accommodating. The guest house has most items you would need to have a comfortable stay, and there's two extremely cute longhorns who live on the ranch that will come by and say hello in the mornings. I really appreciated some of the little touches provided in the home, such as, little bottles of shampoo/conditioner, makeup removal wipes. Small amenities that just made our stay a little easier. Enchanted rock is about a 35 minute drive away, and there's plenty to eat and drink in Fredericksburg which is about 20-30 minutes away. This is a working ranch that is surrounded by another working ranch, so be cautious driving in or out as there are livestock roaming but it was fun to see sheep, goats, and cattle hanging around just doing their thing. I highly recommend this location, and I will be staying here if I make it back to Fredericksburg in the future.

Outstanding

I’m a seasoned “VRBO-ER” and this is the best experience we’ve had. Guest house was beautiful, spotlessly clean, and exactly as pictured and described. Our hosts were super! They helped us with things to do, added a night to our stay on the day we were scheduled to leave, and most importantly, when a nasty spring storm rolled in they texted us several times to make sure we were ok. Thanks Eric and Jenny! We hope to make a second trip.
