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 anddrink 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;
Kitchenette including a Keurig coffee maker (we provide pods for coffee and tea), drip coffeemaker (bring your own coffee), toaster oven, microwave, refrigerator/freezer, electric skillet, double burner hot plate.

    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!

    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.

    I love the drive that you have to take to get to the lodge. Its a beautiful scene and there is plenty of wild life to see. The property is outstanding. Very homey but still feels like your on vacation.

    Everything was lovely from the views to the beds. Jenny and Eric have thought of everything one could need during their stay with a few little surprise touches. Highly recommend experiencing sunset from the firepit and staying out for a bit under the canopy of stars. We are already planning a return stay.

    This house was super clean, smelled amazing, and so welcoming. We had everything we needed plus some. Had coffee watching the Longhorns graze every morning. It was such a peaceful place to stay. The owners Eric and Jenny welcomed us personally which was such a nice touch. Will definitely be staying here again!

    Our quick weekend getaway was perfect! We live in the country so the drive didn’t bother us at all! It was a nice attribute to the property! It was all that we needed and all the details were thought of! Sweet owners and no crazy checkout list which was very nice!!

    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).

    Cottage tucked away in the hills outstanding service, amazing accommodations, and outstanding star gazing views. Never imagine going to bed in completely in silence, while waking up to the sound of counting sheep’s. Priceless!

    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.

    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.
