Shady House with River Access & Donkeys!

Hill Country River Ranch is a working sheep ranch located 3 miles from Main Street, Fredericksburg, Texas . The "Ranch House" is a 3 bedroom 2 bath house. On the same property, we have a total of 5 houses, cabins, and cottages to choose from. In addition, we have an event center. Looking for a wedding venue in Fredericksburg? We are ideal for that. We are set up for family reunions, church and corporate retreats with 28 acres to use. We have river frontage that is ideal for picnics, swimming and family games. The dance hall is great as a meeting place with a kitchen. Hill Country River Ranch is somewhere between a resort and a bed and breakfast in Fredericksburg, Texas. We offer bicycles, kayaks, fire pits, barbecue pits (gas and charcoal), picnic tables and games. Interacting with our farm animals is fun for kids of all ages. Being just outside of Fredericksburg and close to Hwy 87 makes vineyards, peach orchards, shopping, restaurants, and Luckenbach easy to get to.
The cabin is air-conditioned and features 1.5 bathrooms and space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine and an ironing board.

We had a wonderful time during our stay in the "ranch house" on the property. The enclosed long covered front porch faced the barn animal area, and we were treated to roaming sheep while having our morning coffee, and were able to let our 2 small pups hang out unleased ( yes they are pet friendly for a small additional fee). The 3 bedrooms all had comfy queen size beds (one had a twin size) an open common living/dining area and full size/ well equipped kitchen. They even provide coffee and snacks and some breakfast foods in freezer and small boxes of cereal too. We had our own private fire pit but could not use it due to the county burn ban. The property is laid out like an old western town with a long facade touting a country store/blacksmith shop and a silo that is also a guest house. They also have a large event center which we were told also hosts Friday night square dancing when not booked for an event. We could easily walk to the river frontage, which had a picnic table, Adirondak chairs, 2 small kayaks and an inflatable paddle board too. It was a little slice of country heaven but just 3 miles south of town and easily accessible to all the area wineries. The hosts were friendly, welcoming, and eager to assist if needed. It was the perfect location for our small family gathering for the holidays. We Hope to come back!

The house was a cute farm style and great for our large family of mang ages. Minor flaws like broken blinds and air filter dirty. The goats and donkeys were a hit with the kids. We will Definitely be going back I just hope the game room is open for this stay. Also note staff was very responsive and nice.

We loved the porch! Lots of great visiting space. We cooked meals and had all the supplies we needed. Even baked homemade bread for our daughter to take back to college. Our only issue was some of us are a bit older and the soft mattresses caused some stiffness of a morning! The master bathroom is a great space. Love the historical touches!

Our stay at the Shady House was phenomenal. Every room was clean. The house was well equipped with all things needed in case we forgot at home. Thank you for all the snacks you provided. Those helped when we were waiting to have dinner.
