Located just a few miles from Fredericksburg, The Shed offers wonderful views of the countryside. Originally a sheep shearing shed, this residence was built around the same time as the original house. It has been converted into the lovely yet comfortable home you now see. Your hosts did 95% of the work themselves and took great joy in creating the wonderful little cabin for their guests. The original roof tin, framing and much of the lumber was reused in the construction. Most of the furniture and all of the window shutters were built using reclaimed wood that used to line the shed walls. Original photos are showcased in the cabin.

As you drive up to The Shed, you will notice a great porch that wraps around half of the cabin. Seating on the porch is perfect for enjoying the countryside views. Inside is a living room, kitchen, bedroom and bath. Your hosts call the decor “rustic luxury,” which you will find is both comfortable and well appointed.

The living room has a comfy sofa and oversized leather chair all placed to enjoy the Smart TV with satellite television programming. There are even a few games to enjoy during your stay. A fully equipped kitchen is adjacent and open to the living room. A large refrigerator, range/oven, microwave and coffeemaker are found in the kitchen.

The bedroom has a queen bed with a country patchwork quilt. Other Texana decor is found in the bedroom. The bath has a tub/shower.

Things to know:
1. Your host lives in separate, private residence on the property. Your accommodation and this other house are around 56 feet from each other.
2. The ceilings of the accommodation, particularly in the bedroom, are quite low. Anyone close to 6'0 tall or larger might find that their head touches the ceiling.
3. The hot tub is located across the driveway from The Shed inside the fenced area next to the pool. In total, the hot tub is approximately 150 feet away from the The Shed.

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 is a great place to escape. Self contained, away from the town but close enough. Stayed here before and enjoyed it again.

    Overall great for the two days we stayed. Would have liked a clothes steamer and sharper knives for cooking.

    We loved the property. It was so unique and very well appointed. We enjoyed the fresh farm eggs and the visits from the chickens! We appreciated the promptness of the owner when our key wouldn’t work properly. Thank you!

    I've stayed at The Shed several times. It's one of my favorite places to stay. Wouldn't change a thing.

    For the past 12+ years, we go to Fredericksburg for peach season. Each year, we stay in a different accommodation. I believe we have finally found a place that we will happily return to! The Shed checked off all of our boxes: location, quiet, hill country scenery, clean, cold AC, hot water. The biggest selling points are the friendly chickens ( including farm fresh eggs in the fridge) and the option to use the pool for an extra fee. Fredericksburg in the summer is hot and it was so refreshing to chill in the pool after long days of fun. Old Comfort Road is a great road for a morning walk. Accessing the key and direction to location- all easy. Plan to return next peach season!
