We had a wonderful stay at Dark Skies! The property was beautiful, the hot tub was great, and the two sweet dogs made us feel completely comfortable having our own dog there. The host was amazing and very welcoming. We would absolutely stay here again!

The area was absolutely beautiful!! It’s only about 20 minutes from downtown Fredericksburg so it was perfect! We woke up on our last morning to the cows in the front yard and it was such a beautiful way to end our stay!! Couldn’t recommend this place more!

The rental was absolutely stunning—far more beautiful in person than the photos could ever capture. It offered such a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere, making it the perfect getaway. The hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming, which made the stay even more enjoyable. It’s about a 20-minute drive into town, but the scenic views along the way made every trip worthwhile. We even got to see quite a bit of wildlife, which was a special touch. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a serene and memorable stay.

Beautiful property with big views. Looking out the window feels like looking at a painting. The hosts were communicative without being intrusive. We loved being a bit further out from the crowds in Fredericksburg, and still having access to everything. The little house itself was very clean, and everything worked well.

Excellent Getaway Spot

We had an awesome time spending a couple nights at this place. It's about 25min from Fredericksburg, but worth staying at for the space and views. I do recommend looking ahead on how to get there.

This was HEAVEN!!!We were looking for a place to relax and this exceeded our expectations. The sunrises/sets were beautiful and seeing deer every morning and evening was very special. The sky at night was breath taking. Peace and quiet abounds. The accommodations were clean, modern and everything we needed( and more) was supplied. The hosts were very friendly but not intrusive and really seemed to care that we were taken care of. If you're looking for a place away from the hustle of every day life this is the place. We will be back.
