Rocking Ox Guesthouse | Fredericksburg Vacation Rental

Darling barn turned into a cabin. This is the cutest little place about 2 miles just outside of Fredericksburg. It was an old barn converted into a cabin. There are 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom with a walk-in shower and separate claw foot tub. It also has a partial kitchen with a mini fridge, microwave and sink. The owners keep it pretty well stocked with salt, pepper, sugar and spices, coffee, tea and a few snacks. Every morning we received breakfast pastries that were left on the front porch. She also offers bath products, a hair dryer and even curling iron! The decor is a collection of western and antique items ...eclectic and fun. The bedrooms are both a decent size and there’s even a third bed in the living/dining area. The cabin opens to a large grassy area with beautiful views of a few surrounding properties. It is off 290 by a matter of feet so you can hear cars passing. But unless you’re a light sleeper it isn’t bad ... neither of us had trouble sleeping. And there’s a sound machine too if need be. Storage is limited .... the rooms have a few hangers and hooks but that’s about it. It wasn’t a problem for either of us when we went and the rooms felt fairly large. It’s actually surprising how spacious it is inside, especially at first glance from the outside. The only con, as I said, was a bit of background noise but it wasn’t bad for us. We would have enjoyed having a fire pit to use at night. They really make you feel appreciated w/ several personal touches.

We loved it! A group of 5 pals went for a birthday weekend getaway. We grilled out one night under the Texas stars, and the breakfast pastries on the porch sealed the deal--delicious and fresh from a local bakery. Our hosts answered our questions and were absolutely lovely. We loved the charm of the place and felt right at home!
