Luxury 23-AC Ranch Hot Tub Hill Country Views!
Summary:
Welcome to Merritt's Ridge, a private and luxuriously picturesque 2 cabin combo with 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. This 23-acre estate is located near Fredericksburg and Luckenbach, and is located less than 1 mile from Alamo Springs Burger Cafe and Old Tunnel State Park! There is nothing better than relaxing with friends and family at this beautiful property while listening to the birds sing and watching the sunset over the horizon while sitting in the hot tub and drinking your favorite beverage!
The Space:
When the final yellows, oranges, and reds of the sunset have faded, you will have a decision to make. Do you hit Historic Downtown Fredericksburg for some fun and winery hopping, or do you hit Luckenbach and enjoy the live music and dancing? Or, do you choose to sit around the fire pit with a glass of wine, or settle into the hot tub while you watch ten thousand stars wake up one by one? On the other hand, why limit yourself? Our suggestion is to do them all, over the course of your stay!
-Please be cautious and aware of wildlife while driving at night in our area.

I’ve stayed in quite a few places but this one may have been the best. It was fantastic for our group of four couples. The beds are great, linens are great the porches are fantastic! There was enough room for everyone to be comfortable and to eat, drink and laugh. The property is very beautiful and there is no one nearby. . Takes a bit to get to Fburg because you are off the beaten path but is close to Luckenbach. Would love to stay here again!
This was the perfect stay for our group of seven. We used both homes on the property and loved everything about it! Gorgeous views from the back deck, enjoying the sunset from the outdoor living area and watching the deer roaming through the back yard. We definitely made use of the fire pit and hot tub at night! It was just right as a home base for our Fredericksburg/wine country trips. The homes were beautifully decorated and had everything we could possibly need. We can’t wait to come back!
Merrit’s Ridge was amazing and exceeded all of our expectations! The property was beautiful and offered all the comforts of home. The balcony overlooking the ranch provided a gorgeous view…we loved watching the deer graze each morning and evening. The fire pit created the perfect serene vibe for great conversation under the stars.The hot tub was nice once we got it going, though the seats were a bit deep for our group to fully enjoy. The kitchen was cozy and worked best with about two people moving around at a time. The only real challenge was the entry gate, which gave us a few laughs when someone had to hop over to enter the code from the outside for us to exit the property. Overall, everything was great, and I would definitely return for another getaway!

Disliked: Check-in
Beautiful view! House was clean! Beds were comfortable !Got to see alot of deer!! Loved Fredericksburg!! Please be aware that this property is quite a ways from town, 20-30 minute drive.A few problems at check-in as the codes provided for the gate and the houses didn't work, communication was difficult as you are calling a corporation and they had to call me back, we had cold and frozen items that needed put away and the delay was very inconvenient!. Found several scorpions and spiders inside the guest house- would recommend having it exterminated. Also the grass and weeds were quite tall, can tell it hadn't been mowed for quite some time. No path down to the big nice deck which made it somewhat uneasy to walk down to not knowing if there were scorpions or snakes in the tall grass/weeds. Please mow before your next guests stay there. Overall decent stat, but a little overpriced for the conditions and inconveniences.
