About this property

Private Hilltop Farmhouse with Stunning Views, Petting Zoo Animals & Hot Tub

Perched atop a scenic hill overlooking miles of breathtaking Texas Hill Country views, The Farmhouse at A Barn at the Quarry offers a truly unforgettable escape unlike anything else in Fredericksburg.

Nestled on 11.5 private acres in the heart of Texas Wine Country, this spacious hilltop retreat combines the comfort of home with the charm of a farm, spectacular sunsets, endless star-filled skies, and unforgettable encounters with some very special furry friends.

Wake each morning to sweeping countryside views and spend your evenings relaxing in the hot tub beneath a blanket of stars. Gather with family and friends on the secluded two-tier patio featuring a covered outdoor dining area for 12, fire pit, outdoor bar, and grill—all overlooking rolling hills that seem to stretch forever.

What truly sets The Farmhouse apart is the experience. Meet Lorenzo, our charming and famously friendly non-spitting llama, along with Espresso and Latte, our adorable miniature donkeys who freely roam the property and love greeting guests. Just beyond them, you’ll find Cookie and Leche, our beloved miniature Highland cows, waiting for treats, photos, and plenty of affection. Every stay includes a complimentary animal treat bag, giving guests a unique opportunity to interact with these lovable farm ambassadors.

Perfect for family reunions, retreats, girls’ weekends, couples’ getaways, holiday gatherings, and wedding groups, The Farmhouse comfortably accommodates up to 12 guests. Inside, you’ll find two master suites with ensuite bathrooms, two spacious living rooms, a fully equipped kitchen with premium appliances, large-screen TVs, games, and everything needed to enjoy memorable meals and meaningful time together.

Need more space? No problem. We also have 4 other uniquely themed bed & breakfast cabins available. Close to walk to, and far enough for total privacy.

While you’ll feel worlds away from everyday life in these beautiful and peaceful surroundings, you’re only minutes from Fredericksburg’s renowned wineries, distilleries, restaurants, shopping, and live music. Grapetown Vineyard and Bankersmith are located right next door, offering wine tastings, live entertainment, safari tours, and seasonal events throughout the year.

Whether you’re sipping wine while watching the sunset, sharing stories around the fire pit, feeding miniature Highland cows, or simply enjoying the peace and privacy of your own hilltop retreat, The Farmhouse offers a one-of-a-kind Hill Country experience that guests remember long after they’ve returned home.

Come experience the beauty, tranquility, and magic of Texas Wine Country from one of Fredericksburg’s most unique and memorable vacation destinations.

We were a large group of 11adults and we had a great stay. Loved that it was outside of town. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking equipment for large groups. The outside space is amazing. We utilized every part of the property and the animals were a big hit. Master bedroom bed was very comfy.

Birthday getaway

Great place for our friends to celebrate my 50th bday. Plenty of space and a great kitchen to prepare meals. The donkeys and llama were a huge hit and everyone loved to feed them. Spacious back yard area to share a meal, hang out, and look at the amazing view.

Great for Family Gathering

The property was great and we loved everything about it. The outside space was the perfect spot for quiet coffee in the morning and the group hanging out in the afternoon and evening. The house comfortably accommodated our group of 11. And I’d book again just for the animals!! The host was very responsive for one issue we had.

Perfect family house for a wine get-away

This property is at the top of a hill with great views of a beautiful ranch. There was plenty room for 10 family and friends with large kitchen, dining and outdoor dining space. We spent most of our time on the back porch or around the fire pit. This place is great, would highly recommend.

Bachelorette Trip!

We had the BEST time! The animals were probably the best part of the whole trip, honestly. The house was super clean, well stocked, and very comfortable. My sister is the bride-to-be and we made all the best memories thanks to Fredericksburg and this lovely home!
