Deer Ridge Cottage | Fredericksburg Vacation Rental

Rating:

We have stayed with ya'll at Deer Ridge Cottage about 5 times. We love this place. It is so cozy and inviting. We don't come for all the hoopla Fredericksburg has to offer. We come for the relaxing experience we get from Deer Ridge Cottage. We love it, it's a plus that y'all welcome our pets/dog. It's clean and just what we need out of our getaways. Thank you for all the treats. We will be back.

We enjoy deer ridge so much. It's been our go to for a couple of stays and will continue to be. The accommodations, cleanliness. decor, and exceptional views. So peaceful and serene .

The house was super clean, very comfortable and well stocked for any cooking one wanted to do. Our favorite places were the rocking chairs on the front porch where we could enjoy the amazing view. On past trips we have greatly enjoyed watching the hummingbirds and birds at their feeders near the porch plus the deer and turkeys at their feeder down the hill. Problems with racoons prevented that this time, but we hope there will be a solution for next time. We appreciated the bottle of wine left by the owners and all the cute Easter decoration. Walking the roads in the area, seeing sunsets, watching distant lights come on, and looking at the stars are other favorites at the great place.

Deer Ridge Cottage was beautiful! The location was perfect for us and our small dog. We had rented the cottage for three nights but made the decision to leave a day early to avoid the ice storm. A week later we unexpectedly received a one day credit for the day we did not use. It was a complete and welcome surprise. I highly recommend Deer Ridge Cottage and Gastehaus Schmidt. Looking forward to staying here again next January.

Perfect location away from the hustle and bustle of Main Street Fredericksburg but quick access Into town. Very warm and inviting, had everything we needed and more. The views are lovely and we enjoyed the rocking chairs on the front porch. We will definitely return.

We loved staying at the Deer Ridge Cottage for my husband's birthday. It was close enough to Fredericksburg, but far enough up a hill to get wonderful views of the hill country. There is a big porch and connected patio in the front with rocking chairs and a swing to enjoy. We arrived to snacks and a bottle of wine, which was lovely, and a binder full of information and brochures about the area. The kitchen was well stocked, with everything you need to make your meals and the propane tank was full as well for anything you wanted to grill. The bathroom had lots of toiletries if you needed them. I'm only giving it 4 stars instead of 5 because the bathroom was small, and there was no place to do my makeup as there was not a lot of counter space. I ended up doing my makeup in the entryway, where there's a mirror, but I had to put my makeup on the coffee table a few steps away. Not too big a deal, but it was a little annoying. Also, the shower was small, if you're 6' tall or a heavyset person, you might be uncomfortable taking a shower. All in all, my husband said it was his best birthday yet, and the cabin was a big reason why.

I booked this place not knowing a ton about it, and as a frequent traveler, I have to say this is one of the best places I've stayed. The property was beautiful, the amenities were plentiful, and the house was full of goodies from a pup greeting bag, bottle of wine, snacks, robes, etc. Unfortunately, I was sick on this leg of our trip, but I will absolutely be back to enjoy this place fully.

This is our favorite place to stay. It's quiet and perfect for our time in Fredericksburg. Actually is our dream "getaway home". Love the cleanliness and all the little extras that the Gibson's leave.

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.

Very pleasant cottage! Loved seeing the deer and different birds.

The cottage was a perfect quite get away yet a quick trip to visit bustling FGB. All of the aminities were there even for our doxies. I recommend it highly for a couple. It would be a little tight for four. Peggy in reservations was so helpful- a big kudos to her!

Rating:

This is Truly our Favorite close by retreat. The owners have gone overboard making this place as comfortable and memorable as possible. After the very challenging year we have had, this has been a Special Oasis!! We will continue our annual trip here.!!

This time I was able to share Deer Ridge with family members new to the cottage and Fredericksburg. They loved everything as much as we do.

This was one our best trips. The snow and cold weather were perfect. As always Deer Ridge at its best.

Deer Run Cottage is a very comfortable and clean place to stay and is very well equipped with all comforts of home. We enjoyed watching the wildlife including many deer and birds at the feeders. We will definitely stay here again. And so close to our favorite Texas wineries!

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.

Great place! All the amenities in a comfortable setting out in the country. Lots of deer and hummingbirds to watch. Comfy king sized bed, great shower, breakfast coupons and a well equipped kitchen make this a great weekend getaway.

We just loved this cabin and it's view. Such a wonderful place to get away, relax and enjoy the beauty of nature.

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.

Great cottage- nice views and it was very clean. We enjoyed the complimentary snacks and wine. Will definitely be booking the cottage again in the future.

This was our 5th stay at Deer Ridge, and we will definitely be back. Love the serenity! Great place to "chill" and reflect! Always very clean and orderly. We love Deer Ridge!

Have stayed in many B&B in F'Burg over the years. This is the best one and we keep coming back. Will continue to do so.....

It was a very nice place to stay.This is the 3rd house that we have booked with Gastehaus Schmidt. The views were fantastic and quiet. Would like to return to stay in the future.

Once again we were not disappointed. We were in fact surprised at how nice our cottage was. The pictures on line made it look nice but wow it was better then we were expecting. We will be back and hopefully the cottage will be available when we come. My husband feel in love with your place thank you for letting others enjoy your little bit of heaven in the hill country

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!!

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.

We have finally found our getaway place. After staying at other homes and hotels for several years we feel that Deer Ridge is our “go-to”. It’s charming and homey let alone the breath taking views of the hill country. We’ll definitely be back.

Perfection! Everything was absolutely perfect!

We have stayed in numerous retreats in our yearly visits to Fredericksburg. Deer Ridges exceeds all in many areas: views, privacy, completely full kitchen including snacks, chilled steins, wine and is a dog friendly place! Many thanks to the Gibson family for providing this Utopia for us! ❤️ Kyleen McCann
