2 Bedroom House in Fredericksburg

Grandview Wildlife Ranch
244 Valley Rd.
Fredericksburg, TX 78624
Escape the Ordinary!
Million dollar views from this hilltop cabin on 57 acres is yours to experience all to yourself! Romantic and secluded with GRAND VIEWS in all directions. Perfect for a "getaway from it all".
Grandview Wildlife Ranch is a short drive to Main Street shops and wineries, this is home away from home with blazing fast Starlink internet.
Soak in the luxurious hot tub or in the cowboy pool under the Texas sky, star gaze, hike and explore or just make memories around the fire pit with family or friends.
The cowboy pool is 10' diameter and 2' deep perfect for cooling off in the Texas summer. The pool is filtered and chlorinated.
You have access to the entire property and this is the only cabin on 57 acres! You have total privacy with no cabins next door unlike others in the area.
One of the owners greets all guests upon arrival and gives a short tour of the property. We want to ensure that our guests find the property as it's very large and there are many private ranch roads in the area where you could get lost. It's best to use the Waze app for directions as google has mislabeled our road and it will not show on google. Our address appears as 244 Walnut Rd instead of 244 Valley Rd.
Grandview Wildlife Ranch has all the amenities of home away from home. The total space is around 1000 sf with an A-frame ceiling on the first floor which makes it feel much larger than it is. The loft is 240 sf and the hideaway is about 240 sf.
Rates for this property are based on double occupancy. Extra guests are $45.00/person/night.
Furnished with a 1 bedroom loft including a king bed and half bath with barn doors for privacy from the downstairs. A full bath downstairs with a queen sofa sleeper. The second room is called the "HIDEAWAY" furnished with 3 twin beds. The hideaway is accessed by a DROP DOWN ATTIC STAIR DOOR that closes off for safety. The Hideaway has a separate mini-split for AC and Heat and it's a very cozy space.
The kitchen has gorgeous granite counter tops, tile back splash, standard size stainless steel appliances, garbage disposal and filtered RO water for drinking and cooking. The cabin has a whole home filtration system and water softener. The kitchen is fully equipped.
The living area has a queen sofa sleeper, 65" Samsung flat screen Smart TV with Dish satellite with a sound bar and Starlink internet. The TV console has games in the left side cabinet. There are 4 bar stools that pull up to the peninsula and a large table with bench style seating for 6. There are two custom rocking chairs with a table lamp.
The sofa sleeper is a coil/air mattress for comfort. The pump is located in the armoire in the sheet tub. Under the mattress cover, unzip the mattress on the left foot side of the mattress and air up the mattress for 20 seconds. You can adjust the comfort of the air by pressing the middle button on the mattress. DO NOT FOLD THE MATTRESS WITH AIR STILL IN THE MATTRESS AS THIS WILL DAMAGE THE MATTRESS. Open the valve to release the air before folding and leave the valve open when folding so the air can escape.
The downstairs bathroom is a full bath with shower, sink and toilet. Extra TP is under the sink or under the upstairs sink. (storage is limited).
The large wrap around deck/covered porch has 4 bar height polywood glider chairs, a large table and umbrella with 6 stools and a bench near the hot tub. Next to the cabin is an off-set circle area that host a custom 6' fire pit (we provide your firewood). Adirondack chairs are covered next to the porch along with a weber charcoal grill (we do not provide charcoal). In the cooler months there are throw blankets in the trunk on the porch for fire pit season. A stone throw away sits the lounging deck/cowboy pool deck. All new polywood furniture including two loungers, table, table with 4 stools and umbrella. The cowboy pool deck has a bench and trunk that includes floats for the pool. The pool IS NOT heated.
In case of a power outage we are equipped with a 24K Generac. When the Generac is in use the hot tub WILL NOT be operational until power is restored. Other large appliances should be used sparingly during this time as to not over work the Generac.
We provide the following for your stay:
1.. One 10# bag of ice. The ice maker has RO; however, depending on the amount of ice used sometimes it can't keep up.
2.. Bathroom amenities: shampoo, body wash and conditioner, loofah pads, disposable face wipes, disposable bags for feminine products (we are on septic), towelettes to dry your hands, toothbrush and paste if you forget yours.
3.. Firewood.
4.. Propane for the weber gas grill. Extra bottle in the trunk on the porch.
5.. Cabinet with a variety of grilling spices, salt pepper, oils, etc.
6.. Celestron Starsense Telescope accompanied with an iPhone for dark sky viewing. If the phone disappears you will be charged a $300 fee for the phone.
7.. Breakfast: Items are left in the refrigerator, and you cook at your leisure. Eggs, biscuits, sausage, pancake mix, butter, jelly, syrup, orange juice, coffee, sugar, and creamer.
There are 3 cameras/recording/audio devices 24/7 at the barn only. One is mounted on the right and one on the left of the barn for security of our personal property. One is mounted near the road coming into the barn area. There are no cameras near the cabin, hot tub or pool. You have complete privacy once past the barn. There are cameras near all deer feeders for our wildlife census exemptions.
In order to keep our wildlife exemption with the County we may have university Students that come onto the property to do their research from May - December. The students do not come near the cabin and will have no contact with guests. We try to schedule their visits during orphan days and no guests are present. But sometimes it's not possible and you may see them doing their research on insects, plants and aquifers.
During the winter months our "native lady bugs" look for warm places to stay. If the doors are left open they may fly in and usually stay on the ceilings where it's warm. Please try to keep the doors closed as much as possible. Our lady bug friends can be vacuumed up if you should see one or two.

Summary: Cabin was amazing! Had a great stay and would highly recommend. Very clean and outfitted with everything you could possibly need.
John H. Apr 8, 2025 04:43:17 AM
Summary: The views are breathtaking and the house is so beautiful, clean, and organized. Everything has a place and all toiletries are provided. The host was so thoughtful and had a birthday balloon waiting for us when we arrived. The refrigerator was filled with bacon, sausage patties, eggs, biscuits, pancake mix, butter, and bottled water. Also, the house was stocked with several jams to choose from and coffee pods and all the creamer and sweetener you could possibly need. Towels, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash were also supplied. We will definitely go back to this ranch.

Larry W. Jul 27, 2024 01:16:14 AM
Summary: Mary and Ken have a great place, paradise. We enjoyed our coffee in the morning and cocktails in the evening with the deer and occasional turkey. Views are fantastic. Every detail needed has been taken care of. Cooking dinners was great given everything that is there. Having breakfast items a real plus. Our 41st honeymoon could not have been better. Thank you Mary and Ken.
John S. May 28, 2024 12:54:46 AM
Summary: What a wonderful experience. Such a peaceful, quiet and beautiful setting. The owners were so welcoming and responsive. The home has many amenities to make your stay quite comfortable. Highly recommended in very way.
Jolie C. May 27, 2024 08:59:32 PM
Summary: Perfect in every way! The owner meets you at the property and provides you a guided tour upon your arrival. It was unexpected and wonderful to have him explain details that otherwise you would likely have questions on. The view was spectacular and I have never seen a house so well stocked, organized and clean! A bottle of wine and full breakfast is provided too! We will definitely be back! Thank you Ken and Mary!
Tricia R. Apr 17, 2024 04:21:16 AM
Summary: My husband and I had a wonderful time in this beautiful place! Everything was special, starting with the orientation we received from the owner. The cabin was well stocked with all the necessities and more, including all the fixings for breakfast every day. The view from the front porch and additional deck was spectacular, with long views of the Hill Country. We would highly recommend this home and hope to return.
Jim V. Apr 14, 2024 10:46:44 PM
Summary: Our 5 night experience at Grandview Wildlife Ranch (GWR) was exceptional. GWR hosts have created not just a lovely place to stay but a true escape into the beauty of the Texas Hill Country. The setting is private and picturesque, views of the hills framed by the cowboy pool deck setting and by the covered porch view from the lovely cabin, not to mention the views afforded from the hot tub. There is not a single detail left unattended to, to enhance the guest experience, from the hearty breakfast provisions, to the spa towels, to the quality deck furniture that offered spectacular seating and views wherever we were. There is a game feeder near the cabin to draw in wildlife which for us included deer, wild hogs, and turkeys. Binoculars and a telescope are available to guests. The option to use the “mule” 4x4 was a treat and if you are comfortable driving that type of vehicle it allows you to fully see the beauty of the property from all angles. We all said numerous times during our stay that our GWR hosts always chose to go “top-of-the- line” in all their touches to this wonderful spot. GWR hosts Mary and Ken were exceptionally helpful and responsive to all questions and requests while we were planning this trip of a lifetime to view the spectacular solar eclipse from this spectacular Texas setting. The stay simply could not have been better, it exceeded expectations.
