    Wake up each morning to the comforts of home, and enjoy breakfast in the privacy of your room. Linger over second cup of coffee under live oaks at the edge of Baron's Creek while you watch Longhorn cattle saunter lazily by. Or reflect on your day's events while watching the sunset from the herb garden patio with the fragrance of lavender in the air. A continental plus breakfast is included with our Guest House, French Cottage, and Sunday Haus, while the Texas Size Suite and the Garden Room Suite come with a freshly made full breakfast. We now have a European Spa Center available to guests. It includes a pool, hot tub, an old world sauna, and massage room. A massage therapist is available by advance reservation.

    Charming, quiet, peaceful, timeless, and floral! I needed a retreat away from the world for two days, and the Garden Room was perfect, an hour from Austin. I read two books, dined, napped, rested. The owner is thoughtful, attentive, yet she kept out of my way, which was good. A great place to recharge...annually! "Same time next year."

    We enjoyed the privacy of the Back Forty property and its close proximity to town. Our guest house was unique and lovely and Patricia left delicious strudel to enjoy for breakfast. She didn't complain when we locked ourselves out in bathrobes either! My husband enjoyed a fly fishing lesson onsite while I had a wonderful massage, the innkeepers dining suggestions for The Nest and Hilltop Cafe were also highlights of the weekend. We look forward to another visit.

    A welcome retreat that we return to year after year

    We've been staying in the French cottage at the Back Forty every year for the past six years. Pat and Bill are wonderful hosts! The cottage is historic, cozy, and full of charm which is why we request it each time. It's hard to list all of the things we love about this place. It's so nice to wake up and walk a few feet to the pond for terrific fishing (the flyfishing lessons are great -- this year caught a 14lb, 28" catfish on the fly), and the property offers pastoral views, and lots of quiet places for picnics or walks. I always know I'm on vacation when I'm lying there in the little log spa cabin, having an amazing massage, and look out the window to see a long horn pass by to take a sip from the nearby stream -- so quiet and beautiful, yet only a two minute drive Fredericksburg. With Pat and Bill you'll receive a warm welcome, they'll spoil you with amazing cooking, and can tell you anything you want to know about Fredericksburg. Writing all this, I can't wait till our next vacation! Ernie & Elysia, Ontario, Canada

    Great place to get away!

    We stayed here about 2 years ago and had a great time. It was very nice and quiet. Great place to get away and enjoy some quiet time. Also did some fishing in the huge lake on the property.
