One of award winning builder Richard Laughlin's creations is a limestone rock home designed from a turn of the century Australian outback home with the decor of “Victorian Ranch”. Many of our guests have enjoyed Richard's first creations, Das Jager and Anastasia. The aged metal roof on Diamond Belle is topped with a cupola. Lattice conceals the private front porch.

Inside this one room home is a wonderful queen-size bed with an extraordinarily unique Mission style head and footboard. An array of wonderful fabrics have been tastefully combined and layered to create an awesome duvet cover. To emphasize the bed, a large mirror is featured on the wall behind the headboard. In the middle of the room hanging from the glass cupola is a masterful chandelier surrounded by natural wood ceilings adds that perfect touch of elegance to this rustic cabin. Limestone floors showcase an array of rugs including animal skins.

The large romantic whirlpool tub is surrounded by a collection of antique mirrors, but there is also a separate bathroom with a shower and a fabulous antique vanity. The coffeebar has a microwave, small refrigerator and coffeemaker.

Double doors lead to a “grouse” porch and courtyard. Cedar fencing surrounds the courtyard creating a true sense of privacy. As in Richard's previous creations you will find an outdoor shower (not available in the Winter). There is also a charcoal grill.

Located only a few miles from Fredericksburg “in the bush” this romantic home is a “fair dinkum beaut”. As they say in Australia “give it a burl”, bring your “coldie” enjoy a “bludger” evening, and you will discover that your stay is “rapt”.

Please Note: You are renting a cabin in the Hill Country which means you may encounter wildlife (Snakes, Deer, Racoons, ETC). Please be aware of your surroundings, and take caution while driving at night. You may also encounter the various bugs, spiders, scorpions and mice that live in the country AND sometimes do make their way inside. All properties do utilize pest control services on a regular basis BUT this does not guarantee no pests or bugs will be visible.

    This property was great - we visited Fredericksburg and climbed Enchanted Rock. We had to pick the key up in town, but the instructions were spot on. The property is isolated but close to town. Plenty of space for the two of us. The decor is very unique and locking the front door is a little tricky. Would definitely stay here again.

    Very fun unique property. Tons of positives to say about it. Two slight negatives: No closet or place for hanging clothes and trees need trimmed in driveway so you can park without getting your vehicle scratched. Other than these minor things it had a great location and was a very comfortable place to stay.

    We've stayed there over several years and really enjoyed it. But its getting old. Front door lock and skeleton key were a nightmare. Several minutes of jiggling to get inside on arrival. Both of us tried, and then had great difficulty getting the key out of the lock. Same thing happened after we returned from a day of shopping. Took almost 20 minutes. Back door is hard to close because the weather stripping is torn and kept folding over on itself.There was a lot of ice build up in the freezer.We were left only 1 bath towel. We called the office for more before noon Friday but they weren't delivered until the morning we checked out. We've never had ANY issues at Diamond Bell and its sad to see because I know its potential.Its beautiful and peaceful and well thought out. Jest needs some upkeep and attention.

    We enjoyed our stay at the Diamond Belle. It was nice, clean and roomy. Will definitely tell my family and friends about the house. I do wish that the back yard had been trimmed so we could have used the outdoor shower. Thank you.

    The small cabin was super cool. Only complaint is that the refrigerator was left open and was iced over when we got there. I had to turn it off and let it thaw and then clean up the mess. Not a huge deal but an annoyance considering the price we paid. They did bring us a cooler full of ice so that was helpful. Other than that it was lovely.

    The location of being out of town, yet very close to town and all that Fredericksburg and the wineries have to offer was what we were looking for. This VRBO was exactly as pictured and described. It is tucked in in a private setting. Only one thing that I want to mention, and it was not serious enough to give less than 5 stars, was that it is close to the highway, and during the day time, there is a fair amount of highway noise, but it quietens down later in the evening.

    Beautiful home. We had stayed there a few years back. Enjoyed our stay, but would highly highly recommend changing the bedding as all the throw pillows had an awful smell. We took them all off the bed laid them in a corner and drive to Walmart to get pillows and cases to use for our stay. Shower head in bathroom needs replaced or thoroughly cleaned absolutely NO Pressure. As stated previously Beautiful Home just needs some minor TLC. FYI our previous stay was in 2015 looked at pictures of that stay and bedding etc. is the same 😢

    The home was peaceful and quiet with a romantic touch. The jacuzzi tub and outdoor shower was the best part. I recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a relaxing getaway.
