Inspiration Hill | Fredericksburg Vacation Rental
Contemporary Hill Country describes this unique house, tucked into the hillside with a spectacular view across to Fredericksburg, six miles away. No wonder Charlie Cain, an investor in the San Antonio-Fredericksburg railroad, gave this location its special name back in 1914. The property – 6 acres of Inspiration Hill – was in fact the inspiration for the house’s its extraordinary design and personality.
Stucco exterior and standing-seam metal roof hold the cool in summer and warmth in winter. Inside, a stunning mix of modern, international antique, color and texture mix comfortably. Rock terracing and private outdoor shower lure visitors outside. Inside, full-length glass doors and oversized windows bring in the dazzling views day and night. Simple and uncluttered, the furnishings create a harmonious effect. Luscious bed linens, colors to luxuriate in – both warm and cool – chosen to bring the Hill Country indoors. There are three distinctive king bedrooms and full baths, a single sofa bed in the upstairs den, and a large fold-out queen in the main living room.
First, a Tuscan-inspired master suite (king bed) with antique Mexican mesquite doors open onto the screen porch with fireplace. A leather chaise is great to lounge with a book or after a bath. Adjoining master bath has a river rock shower and Jacuzzi-spa. Back door and porch lead to an outdoor shower for a moonlight experience – or a cooling relief from a hot summer day. Second, a corner bedroom (king bed) with luxurious linens and calming earth tones make this a hideaway for relaxation. This room’s bath is an attractive orange and features a wonderful shower and red granite counter top. Third, an upstairs bedroom (king bed) features an inviting mint green color palette. This bedroom has windows on opposite sides and you can open them for a cross-breeze and moonlit sleep. Its bath has tile, rosewood granite, and a glass-enclosed oversized shower. Also on this floor is a single sleeper sofa.
All bedrooms have TVs with Netflix, Roku & YouTube. The house has high-speed wireless internet connections. Sit on the screened porch with your computer and talk to the office – or not!
The kitchen is fully-equipped for those with Cordon Bleu aspirations, granite-topped island for watching the chef while having a glass of wine, and the dining room seats 10 with an 8-foot table and 10-foot sideboard. The living room with its extraordinary views of the valley opens onto a screened porch with a gas-log fireplace, and is a favorite spot to sip a cocktail and watch the sun slip away.
The famous town of Luckenbach, with its dancehall and post office is just 4 miles down the road.
Enjoy your stay. We hope it inspires you as it does its owners and its award-winning designer and builder.

- Please do not leave your dog alone in the house unless you crate or kennel him or her. The screened porch is not a substitute for a crate.
- Please keep your dog off the furniture, including the beds
- Please don’t let your dog scratch on the doors - let them out if you like, but the property is not fenced, so be aware of that
- Pick up any waste your dog leaves on the property and dispose of it properly

This beautiful property was everything we were hoping for during our time in the Fredericksburg area. At only 10 minutes to Fredericksburg, you felt remote while still having the conveniences of the town. The house was stunning and very functional and comfortable. Stars were bright! The color palate was unique and attractive. It's evident a lot of thought went into the home's design. We loved using the fireplace and took advantage of all the TVs with streaming services, especially the cool living room TV hidden in the cabinet. Well equipped kitchen. The outdoor shower feature is a nice touch too. I'd definitely like to stay at this property again in the future. One piece of feedback is that are two couches in the living room and one is much comfier than the other and also smaller. The less comfy, smaller couch faces the TV. Would be great if the two could be switched.

My friends & I loved staying at Inspiration Hill. The house was comfortable & clean with amazing hill country views. The location was great as well - easy drive to town, Luckenbach, and the vineyards. Would def rent this beautiful house again.
Amazing Place - perfect getaway with friends

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful property! House was fully stocked and the kitchen was a dream. Rooms were comfortable and our group of 6 had plenty of space. We spent the evenings watching the sun go down and explored the wineries during the day. Would definitely recommend!

We had 2 families. 4 kids and 2 moms- and it was perfect. Privately set up on a hill with great views, and a covered porch with a gas log fireplace. Turn the switch and watch the sunset with a fire going. Kids liked the board games and feeding the family of outdoor cats that the owner has taken care of- and has even arranged to have them all spayed and neutered. Easy to get to town, and just off the main highway with all the wineries. Really nice beds and linens, and kitchen was well-appointed with lots of spices and condiments. We would stay there again!

That was our third time to stay in your home. We love everything about it except the 11am check out. It would make a BIG difference in how rushed you feel on the last day if it were a noon check out.
Lovely home.....beautiful cats.

We loved the area, the house is laid out quite efficiently and is very nice. Large open kitchen with gas appliances are such a plus. Good size dining area and living room, one huge....drawback....no TV in main living area! It's great to have one at night in bedroom but daytime or evening while preparing and eating casual dinners really warrants a TV. Furniture looks ok but couches getting worn not as large or comfortable as they could be. Now for our favorite part, the views from most every room are wonderful but even better for animal Lovers like myself are the 5 cats that are simply Beautiful! They do come to you for feeding time and a few are a bit shy timid but some are more relaxed, my favorite was a very timid gray bunny looking that got nudged out of food bowl often because he wasn't as aggressive but I always went back down to feed him again. We loved watching them, their natural instincts and behavior were just fascinating and we feed them generously knowing some guest may not choose to feed. Please be kind to them, watch your pets/dogs as not to scare them and by all means......please feed, food in storage room off kitchen as we bought a bag and added to their stock. They really need a shed for protection from weather and a secure dry location!!!! Overall the location is a plus if you like peace quite and relaxing atmosphere away from hustle. We were there for Christmas so busy downtown but pretty lights. We attended church as the beautiful cathedral and we drove a very scenic route to Borne and other close by locations! We definitely will return but hoping for a TV please.... we also can't wait to see the cats and or kittens they might be having. We actually named them while there. Reservations were easy to make and had good policies we would recommend this home to discerning visitors and nature/animal lovers.
Very nice relaxing “getaway” place!

Very pretty house and views. Spacious living room and dining room with comfy sofas and chairs. Porch with fire place very nice ( although the cushions / chairs could use a bit more “Cush” ..) Fireplace Very easy to turn on with just a flick of a switch.. Master bedroom and bath excellent .. other two bedrooms nice with large closets and chairs for easy suitcase placement. My upstairs bedroom had a “firm” double bed ( I do prefer having softer bed with topper but that’s just a personal preference. Many people like firm beds I’m sure ! ) Overall great experience. Oh, well appointed kitchen too with plenty of dishes and glassware!
