This wonderful cottage is located on a hill in Cain City just a few miles from Fredericksburg. Cain City was once a thriving community. The railroad went right through the city and at that time Cain City was divided into numerous city lots, which had both homes and businesses including a bank. The owners of Deer Ridge Cottage offer the history of Cain City along with a map of how things used to look. They offer an interesting view of days gone by.

Deer Ridge Cottage sits on a hill thathas wonderful views of the countryside and Fredericksburg. The front porch has comfy seating to enjoy these awesome views. You may want to have your camera ready to take photos of the deer scurrying about and the many birds attracted to the feeder on the porch year round.

The decorating in this cottage is elegant country with stained concrete floors and faux painted walls. Your hosts have created the cottage with warmth and comfort in mind for your stay. The décor offers some wonderful antiques. Inside is an open living room, dining room and fully equipped kitchen. The living room has a sofa with queen sleeper and rocker placed to enjoy the Satellite television. A table for four sits in front of a window to relish those wonderful outdoor views. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need for your stay. The bedroom has a king bed and the bath has a shower.

The cottage backs up to a cut in the hill, which is not a safe area for guests to climb, but there is plenty of room in front of the cottage to frolic and play or to relax and take a nap on the hammock. The roads in Cain City are also great areas for bicycling and walking. ** Pet friendly for a small additional fee**

The home is pet friendly and will accept up to two dogs. However, there is a pet fee of $27/dog/night. Due to the fact that HomeAway/VRBO does not allow us to charge for more than one dog at the time of booking, please let us know if you will be bringing more than one dog, so that we can make sure that you are charged the correct amount. If you bring more than one dog and do not let us know, you will be charged accordingly. Furthermore, please bring crates for your dogs and crate them in your absence from the house, do not allow the dogs on furniture or beds, and pick up and properly dispose of their waste. If these rules are not followed, there will be an additional $200 charge added to your reservation.

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.

    Great little hideaway for two, just 5 min from Luckenbach and a handful of wineries. Loved sitting on the patio overlooking The Valley for morning coffees and evening wines. Only annoyance was the fact that you have to go into Fredericksburg to pick up the key and again to drop it off. Seems like a realtor-style lockbox at the property would do the job just fine!

    We have been coming to this cottage for almost as many years as it has been available. It had been a while since our last visit, but we were very pleasantly surprised at how wonderful it still is. We enjoyed our trip so much, did more cooking at home than we used to and found the kitchen very well equipped. But the porch is still the best place on the whole property! That view is something!

    The heater would not work in the house. When my husband walked around outside he noticed parts for the unit were present. We managed to stay comfortable in our warm clothes and jackets. I failed to notice when I booked that fur babies are welcome; I am allergic to pets but fortunately did not have any issues. The front porch view is amazing. Very comfortable and we enjoyed preparing all our meals in the well established kitchen.

    We have stayed at deer Ridge cottage several times. We have enjoyed it each and every time. The cottage is perfect for us. We loved staying at deer Ridge cottage. We love sitting on the front porch watching the Deers and other wildlife.

    OMGOODNESS!! Look no further. This was a great cottage. It was so clean, well maintained, so comfortable, and I can go on and on. My husband was so impressed. All the switches were labeled so you didn't have to guess which switch turned on which light. That was a huge plus to me. The cottage is also close to the downtown Fredericksburg. The view was absolutely breathtaking! We saw deer walking around and jumping. Our pet loved this place. We rented this cottage so we could attend a wedding at Camp Hideaway (which was only 4 miles away). We actually thought about skipping the wedding to keep enjoying the front porch. We almost arrived late to the wedding. Ha Ha Ha The only regret I have was that I wish we could have stayed longer, but our life schedule wouldn't have permitted.

    The property was clean and well stocked. Great location with beautiful views. The host even supplied dog treats, toys, beds and bowls. We especially enjoyed mornings on the back patio and evenings on the front porch watching the deer. Highly recommend if you are visiting the area.

    This was one of the most beautiful places we have ever stayed. The house was so clean and so well stocked. It is hard to find houses that are pet friendly. This listing went over the top to welcome our fur babies?. The view was breathtaking. We will definitely return to this location again.

    This cottage is immaculately clean and the property very well maintained. The view is beautiful and the neighborhood is quiet. The amenities are impressive. Everything you need for toiletries, cooking or enjoying have been provided. Well done!! It's peaceful yet less than 15min from downtown. The bird and deer feeders are in a perfect location to enjoy the comfortable outdoor seating on this lovely porch, where we spent hours enjoying. This was our second stay and we loved it. Thank you! We will be back!!

    The cottage is great! We love the front porch and rocking chairs and the view - amazing! Only one complaint that caused me to rate this a 4 instead of 5 - the gravel drive up to the cottage was a challenge. The steepness combined with the very uneven gravel made it difficult for our truck to ascend/descend. I wouldn't think of trying to get a car up the gravel. If the gravel were smoothed out to eliminate low and high spots, it would make a huge difference in getting up/down the gravel drive.
