Big Sky Guest House, 2bd, 1bath, Enjoy the stars in Fredericksburg TX!
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 and drink 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.

This place was wonderful. It's far from town and very quiet. The house is nice(polished cement floors, leatger couches, and excellent beds. I will likely stay here again
We loved our stay at the Big Sky Guest house, the area is quiet and serene, far enough from hustle and bustle but close enough to get to town quickly. Hosts communicated well and provided everything we needed for our stay. Highly recommend this property. Thank you!
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 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!
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.
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).
We drove in with our three littles from Houston for a long weekend. The drive is fun as there is a lot of livestock to see that entertained the kids on the country roads. The hosts were very gracious with things like bottled water and firewood and were extremely great communicators prior to and throughout the stay. We enjoyed walking the property with the kids and long camp fires in the evening. We had a great time!
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!
We had a wonderful times staying here for the weekend. Eric and Jennie are very nice host. The cottage is charming, very clean, beautiful sunrise view and you have a beautiful vie of the stars in the night. The check in and check out time are very generous. Will definetely comeback. Cell receptions are very spotty but the wifi are good in the cottage.
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!
We really enjoyed our stay! The kids loved seeing the longhorns walking around close by. We got to relax and enjoy the scenery by the fire pit. With the clear sky, the stars are so pretty! The house has ample space and games inside. My daughter loved making hot chocolate in the coffee maker, so it was great that was an option! We liked chatting with Eric and Jenny when we saw them. It is about 25 minutes to town, but there are a lot of animals to see on the drive!
Came for Oktoberfest, will come back for the breathtaking sky and amazing hosts.
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.
The host was very welcoming! The house itself was decorated for Christmas and was so cute! Very clean, well layed out, everything we needed was available. Plenty of room for my family of 5.
What a great place to stay!
Easy check in, hosts are amazing, very clean lodging abd love the location. Lots of solitude and on a clear night you will see for yourself that the “stars at night are big and bright…….”
Loved it and will be back!!
We really enjoyed staying here: the house had everything we needed for a weekend trip. The owners are insanely nice and the house was spotless. We will stay here again next time we’re planning a trip to enchanted rock
This home was very comfortable. The hosts were great with information about local places to eat and enjoy. Our grandson had fun riding his Go-Kart around the property. We enjoyed our stay.
