About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Alder Farmhaus | Fire Pit | Pavilion | Plentiful Wildlife

Enjoy this relaxing, modern farmhouse. Close enough to town to experience all the town has to offer, but far enough away to enjoy the beautiful outdoors and really feel like you've gotten away from it all. In fact, you're just 10 miles from Fredericksburg's Main Street, 15-20 minutes to the wineries east of town, and 8 miles to Alamo Spring Cafe and Old Tunnel state park (fantastic burgers and great bat viewing).

Entering the home, a pleasant foyer welcomes guests into the stunning, open concept living area. The expansive living room invites you to take a seat in your choice of a comfortable couch, two end chairs, and two ottomans- all arranged around a beautiful indoor stone fireplace. The fully-equipped kitchen is a chef's dream offering a full-sized refrigerator, stove/oven, dishwasher, and ample counter space for prep work. The dining area, seating six around an elegant harvest table, lies just off of the kitchen and enjoys a spectacular view of the surrounding countryside through tall and graceful windows on two sides.

When it is time to retire for the evening, guests have three beautifully-appointed bedrooms to choose from. The master pampers with a king bed and premium bedding while also featuring its own private bathroom with an always desirable double vanity and large walk-in shower. The second bedroom features two bunk beds with twin size bedding for up to four. This is a great room for children or friends and family who desire a bed all to themselves! The third bedroom includes a wonderful queen bed with an attractive barn door-style headboard. Both the second and third bedrooms share a hallway bathroom featuring a gorgeous granite counter and convenient tub/shower combination.

Outside, two covered porches, a charcoal grill, fire ring with seating, and a picnic table all make savoring the best that nature has to offer a true delight.

Wineries and shopping by day and sitting around the fire and watching the stars in the evening- getaways don't get much better than this. The house is also located on a large tract of land with abundant wildlife and a catch and release pond (subject to rainfall), so there's truly something for everyone in your party to enjoy.

Items to be aware of:
The home's television does not feature any television programming. As a result, if you want to watch live television or a program from a subscription service, you will need to bring your own log in information from home with you.

Uber and local taxi services are available for rides into town if driving is a concern.

We ask that guests stay on the road to the house and relatively close to the home itself. The property boundaries aren't well marked, but as long as you're within 100 yards or so of the house, you'll be fine.

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 pests or bugs will not be visible.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, which features a fireplace. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a full-sized refrigerator/freezer, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a DVD player is provided for your entertainment.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as charcoal grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Cozy and cute hill country house. Loved sitting on the porch enjoying the view and the gazebo was really nice too. The outdoor lights and firepit made the back area festive and fun. Great place!

Girlfriend Getaway
We absolutely loved this property! The location being just a short drive outside of town, the multiple deer we saw on the property and the layout of the house. Everything was clean and ready to go for us. Coffee and tea which we definitely used. The openness of the living room was perfect for our late night conversations after fun filled days in and around Fredericksburg. Thank you for opening up your home to us.

Less than expected
The house is fairly new and very clean. However, it is located adjacent to a major highway and the noise level is high. You cannot enjoy the sounds of nature. You must go into town to get the keys and go back to return them. There is no cable or dish tv, therefore no local news or weather. The Wi-Fi is less than adequate.

Great for bachelorette weekend!
I rented the home as a base for me and family/friends during my bachelorette weekend. The home was perfect and had more than enough room for a big group. The patio and back seating area overlooking a pond was beautiful. We spent both nights outside by the fire making s’mores. Definitely recommend!

Weekend family getaway
We had a great stay at the Alder Farmhous. Saw lots of deer, enjoyed the fire pit , nature views from front and back patio and modern amenities inside. Location was great and short drive from local hamburger place next to old Tunnel State Park to watch bats emerge at sunset, short drive to Fredericksburg. It was a fantastic family weekend away. Kids bunk beds were a huge hit! Will stay again.

Great weekend getaway
We really enjoyed our stay at the Alder Farmhaus. The house was perfect for our family. We enjoyed going to town and visiting some wineries during the day and then we grilled out two nights and used the outside grill ( bring lighter fluid). And then hung out and made s’mores by the fire pit. It was a wonderful stay.

Beautiful property with a Thermostat lock!
This was a beautiful property on a beautiful piece of property! It was almost perfect for our Moms getaway, except that the house was very hot and unfortunately we couldn’t lower the temp in the house lower then 75 degrees! Yes it is officially fall but we all know in these parts of Texas, it is far from fall weather and in a house full of people controlling the thermostat is a huge negative! Also, make sure to get the code for the firewood if you plan on having a fire! We planned on a fire and s’mores the last night we were there and didn’t realize the wood was locked up and could get a hold of anyone for the code! Great property, just give your guests control of the thermostat!

Beautiful house. Loved the decor and all the furniture was super comfy. We brought our ROKU and used our hot spot so that worked for internet and TV. Only item I would say to improve is there is no walk way to the water other than that it was great.
