This wonderful cottage is located on a hill in Cain City just a few miles from Fredericksburg. Cain City was once a thriving community. The railroad went right through the city and at that time Cain City was divided into numerous city lots, which had both homes and businesses including a bank. The owners of Deer Ridge Cottage offer the history of Cain City along with a map of how things used to look. They offer an interesting view of days gone by.

Deer Ridge Cottage sits on a hill that has wonderful views of the countryside and Fredericksburg. The front porch has comfy seating to enjoy these awesome views. You may want to have your camera ready to take photos of the deer scurrying about and the many birds attracted to the feeder on the porch year round.

The decorating in this cottage is elegant country with stained concrete floors and faux painted walls. Your hosts have created the cottage with warmth and comfort in mind for your stay. The décor offers some wonderful antiques. Inside is an open living room, dining room and fully equipped kitchen. The living room has a sofa with queen sleeper and rocker placed to enjoy the Satellite television. A table for four sits in front of a window to relish those wonderful outdoor views. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need for your stay. The bedroom has a king bed and the bath has a shower.

The cottage backs up to a cut in the hill, which is not a safe area for guests to climb, but there is plenty of room in front of the cottage to frolic and play or to relax and take a nap on the hammock. The roads in Cain City are also great areas for bicycling and walking. ** Pet friendly for a small additional fee**

We've stayed at Deer Ridge several times and the house is always very clean and the owners have thought of everything. The location is centrally located to some of our favorite places to visit yet it is secluded with an awesome view of the hill country. This is by far our favorite place to stay in the Fredericksburg area and we'll be back again for sure.

This is our 2nd time staying at Deer Ridge. My wife and I have been coming to the area for years and have rented MANY different cabins and cottages. This is by far the best one. The location is convenient to the places we like to visit and the property and views are awesome. The owners have stocked this cottage with everything you could possibly need, including treats and toys for the dog. This will be our \"go to\" from now on if it\'s available.

Our family of four loved this home base for exploring Hill Country. It's conveniently located for coming and going from many area attractions, but would also be a great getaway in and of itself for anyone wanting some quality time in a quiet, natural setting. Everything was clean and beyond well-stocked (including nice extras such as snacks, complimentary bottle of wine, coffee and toiletries). We slept well, felt safe, prepared meals seamlessly, and enjoyed the wonderful views and abundant deer.

This is by far the best B&B we have visited. The cabin was clean and immaculate. Everything you possible would need during your stay was already there. Even simple things like first aid kit, band aids, and neosporin. Twist ties, rubber bands, and flashlight . Fully equipped kitchen and appliances. Very nice cabin, decorated beautifully and up to date furnishings. Deck goes all the way around the house. A swing and 2 rocking chairs on the front deck to enjoy the view from the front which is fantastic. You can see for miles. Even planted grass around the cabin. Yes actual grass. You can't wrong at Deer Creek. We will definitely return.

We have stayed in this cottage many times during the past years. We noticed that many things have changed during our last visit. Some for the better and some for the worse. The owners have stopped providing breakfast certificates due to their new addition of WiFi, so be prepared and bring your own breakfast food. The WiFi was not working during our stay due to a storm. They do provide a complimentary nice bottle of wine, although stopped providing a few bottled waters. They have added a nice larger TV, although it is placed in front of a large window that used to have a wonderful view. We also believe that they stopped using the deer feeder to attract deer, therefore we did not see many of these beautiful animals during our four day stay. As always, the cottage is clean and private, which are two big positives. The cottage is also close to many attractions.

We have been renting cabins and houses in Fredericksburg and also Wimberly for 35 years and we now have a new favorite in Deer Ridge Cottage. It's a perfect location with very nice views and privacy. The cottage was spotlessly clean, had anything you could possibly need and was very tastefully decorated for the fall. I appreciated how they had even taken the time to label each light/electrical switch. We will be returning for sure! Jim

We enjoyed our stay at Deer Ridge Cottage for our 25th wedding anniversary. The location is convenient to many area locations we like to visit and the house itself was clean and stocked with everything we needed (and some things we didn’t know we needed). Having a washer and dryer was nice and allowed us to come home with clean clothes for a change. We highly recommend Deer Ridge and will definitely be back again.

5 Things To Enjoy At Deer Ridge

1. When you arrive you can see that it is an authentic hill country rock house. I love that. 2. The front porch is inviting you to sit down and rest even before you go in. 3. The house is perfectly clean and beautifully decorated. 4. The kitchen is completely equipped. It is much like by own kitchen. I can find everything that I need to cook with. 5. The bed is luxuriously comfortable. Last time I came I liked the blanket so much I wrote down the name from the tag and ordered one for home. As you can see we enjoy it very much - especially our dog. We will back next Spring.

The house is situated on a hill that offers a wonderful view out at the countryside and up at the stars at night. The owners truly went the extra mile by providing all toiletries, shampoo, body wash, conditioner, plenty of towels, lotions, fragrances, snacks, bathrobes, board games, movies, iron and ironing board, dishes, pots & pans, glasses, and utensils, plenty of dog toys and treats (wish we would have taken our dog!), coupons to Dogologie, a bottle of wine... the list goes on. And the house is extremely well maintained. You'll see plenty of birds and deer while sitting out in the rocking chairs or the swing on the front porch. The setting is serene and is a short drive away from Fredericksburg. When you visit, be sure to drive out to Old Tunnel State Park (about 20 mins from the house; you'll see the sign on 290 on the way in to Fredericksburg). Gausthaus Schmidt throws in great coupons for breakfast, lunch, or brunch at several restaurants in Fredericksburg. You're going to love your stay if you choose Deer Ridge Cottage. We sure did and will definitely return.

We have been staying in Fredericksburg for many years. We have rented many, many cottages. Deer Ridge is the best we have ever seen. We have stayed there for several years with great joy. It is the best equipped of all the cottages we have ever rented. Beyond that, the view is spectacular, the property is immaculate, and the wildlife is endearing. This time we had reserved Deer Ridge for our Blue Bonnet trip in April. We had to postpone because it was not renting due to the virus lockdown. It was hard to wait several months, but it was worth it.

Just what we needed for a small getaway with one of our Mom's, as well as a mini babymoon trip before our daughter joins us in July. The cabin was full of rustic charm and there was nothing that we were wishing we had with us. The rockers / porch swing were an incredible touch and we spent mornings and evenings out there, enjoying the quietness and views. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to anyone looking to escape for a few days. Thank you for everything!

Superb Experience!

Deer Ridge is my favorite place to stay in Fredericksburg. I have been using Gastehaus Schmidt for more than thirty years and coming to Fredericksburg for more than fifty. The house is wonderfully comfortable and the best accessorized I have ever seen. The view is spectacular. However, don't come, because like all really good things I want to keep it to myself.

This was our third trip to Fredericksburg in the past several years and we always stay at Deer Ridge Cottage. Once again, it did not disappoint! My husband and I brought our daughter and grandson and had a fantastic time. The cabin is always so clean and welcoming! Everything we need is there and in perfect working condition. We fed the deer and enjoyed the wildlife from the front porch. We hiked Enchanted Rock, climbed Cross Mountain, did a little shopping and enjoyed some of the local restaurants. The coupons are a little bonus. We will be back to visit Deer Ridge the next time we're in Fredericksburg! I hope it will be soon! Sandra and Bill Dowell

This was our second stay at this large modern cottage and we greatly enjoyed our visit except for the cold, rainy, windy weather. This very clean cottage has all one would need in the kitchen, the bed and sofa are very comfortable, and the location is fantastic -- great views with no one else close by. We greatly appreciated the lady at Gastehaus Schmidt sending her husband out with more bird seed for the front porch feeder. That was way beyond the call of duty and made our stay and bird watching much more enjoyable. Thanks so much!!

Very comfortable house, great views, excellent bird and deer watching from the great covered porch

This was a beautiful property which made me want to stay longer. We never had to hunt for anything or go out & buy anything other than things to make for dinner or lunch if we didn't want to eat out, & the kitchen was fully stocked for us to do so. The bed was incredibly comfortable, the views were great, the wildlife friendly. I will be coming back to this property again.
