About this property

The Shed | Luxurious Country Accommodation

*The property features a pool that is available for an additional $50/night (before tax). At the time of booking, please let us know if you'd like access to the pool.*

Located just a few miles from Fredericksburg, The Shed offers wonderful views of the countryside. Originally a sheep shearing shed, this residence was built around the same time as the original house. It has been converted into the lovely yet comfortable home you now see. Your hosts did 95% of the work themselves and took great joy in creating the wonderful little cabin for their guests. The original roof tin, framing and much of the lumber was reused in the construction. Most of the furniture and all of the window shutters were built using reclaimed wood that used to line the shed walls. Original photos are showcased in the cabin.

As you drive up to The Shed, you will notice a great porch that wraps around half of the cabin. Seating on the porch is perfect for enjoying the countryside views. Inside is a living room, kitchen, bedroom and bath. Your hosts call the decor “rustic luxury,” which you will find is both comfortable and well appointed.

The living room has a comfy sofa and oversized leather chair all placed to enjoy the Smart TV with satellite television programming. There are even a few games to enjoy during your stay. A fully equipped kitchen is adjacent and open to the living room. A large refrigerator, range/oven, microwave and coffeemaker are found in the kitchen.

The bedroom has a queen bed with a country patchwork quilt. Other Texana decor is found in the bedroom. The bath has a tub/shower.

Things to know:
1. Your host lives in separate, private residence on the property. Your accommodation and this other house are around 25 yards from each other.
2. The ceilings of the accommodation, particularly in the bedroom, are quite low. Anyone close to 6'0" tall or larger might find that their head touches the ceiling.

Please Note: 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 no pests or bugs will be visible.

Little Gem in the Fredericksburg Country

The Shed

Obviously the owners took great pride in creating a one of a kind property. What an enjoyable and relaxing little hide away. We would certainly enjoy staying again. The towels were super soft and as good as any 5-star property. We loved the chickens which brought me back to my childhood and running in the chicken coops at my grandparents!!!

The shed was great

The stay was awesome and very comfortable, the owners went out of their way to make it a pleasant stay, they even have chickens. The only draw back was the temperature setting, love cold temperatures and for some unknown reason the temp would go back up, after we would set it on 68, it would go back up, so we think the owners were controlling it, which isn't very nice.

Quiet, clean, comfortable, nicely furnished with friendly chickens

Very much enjoyed our stay. About 5 miles south of town. The Shed provided a quiet, clean, comfortable, well equipped getaway. The fresh eggs, snacks, and fruit were a nice extra. We especially liked sitting on the porch in the rocking chairs and porch swing. Small grill was available. The large TV/entertainment system obscured the view out of one of the windows and we didn't use it. We will likely be renting this again.

Great unit. Checkin/out is a hassle

Loved the place. Exactly as advertised and was very relaxing. More space than anticipated. Lots of extra thoughtful gestures from the host. Would have preferred to check in directly to the unit but had to drive to town to pick up the key. Same with check out. Seems like an outdated practice but great place.

The Shed

Nothing takes me back home like having chickens roaming freely in the yard, and an old yellow dog to greet you. The place was very enjoyable. The only complaint I have is they need to lighten up on the fragrance of the laundry. I was unable to sleep in the bed because the laundry fragrance gave me a head ache. It would be a great place for my wife and I to come stay but she is even more sensitive to fragrances.

We loved the property. It was so unique and very well appointed. We enjoyed the fresh farm eggs and the visits from the chickens! We appreciated the promptness of the owner when our key wouldn’t work properly. Thank you!

The Shed- New Favorite

For the past 12+ years, we go to Fredericksburg for peach season. Each year, we stay in a different accommodation. I believe we have finally found a place that we will happily return to! The Shed checked off all of our boxes: location, quiet, hill country scenery, clean, cold AC, hot water. The biggest selling points are the friendly chickens ( including farm fresh eggs in the fridge) and the option to use the pool for an extra fee. Fredericksburg in the summer is hot and it was so refreshing to chill in the pool after long days of fun. Old Comfort Road is a great road for a morning walk. Accessing the key and direction to location- all easy. Plan to return next peach season!

So cute and quaint

It was perfect for my 60th birthday. The only complaints I have, the water doesn't get super hot (we love hot showers and baths) and I wish the weeds would have been mowed. Other than that, it was just right (other than having to Walk about 30 yards to hot tub

Cute cottage

We loved the layout of this cottage but there were unfortunately a lot of gnats in the Shed that were bugging us throughout the night. If there were no gnats, it'd be a great stay.
