Luxury 23-ac Ranch Casita w/Hot tub!

Summary:

Welcome to Merritt's Ridge, a private and luxuriously picturesque 1-bedroom, 1-bath cabin on a 23-acre estate near downtown Fredericksburg and Luckenbach, and located less than 1 mile from Alamo Springs Burger Cafe and Old Tunnel State Park! There is nothing better than relaxing with friends and family at this beautiful property while listening to the birds sing and watching the sunset over the horizon while sitting in the hot tub drinking your favorite beverage!



The Space:

When the final yellows, oranges, and reds of the sunset have faded, you will have a decision to make. Do you hit Historic Downtown Fredericksburg for some fun and winery hopping, or do you hit Luckenbach and enjoy the live music and dancing? or settle into the hot tub while you watch ten thousand stars wake up one by one? On the other hand, why limit yourself? Our suggestion is to do them all, over the course of your stay!



-Parking: Only park in driveway. Do NOT park in grass.



-Please be cautious and aware of wildlife while driving at night in our area.



Guest Access:

✅ This property has special local compliance requirements which include a signed rental agreement, ID verification, and a security hold of $1000 (which is not a traditional security deposit, just a pending transaction). As an optional alternative to the security hold, you may opt in to purchase a non-refundable damage waiver provided by a third-party insurance company. The optional damage waiver is $59.99 for stays up to 10 nights, with an additional $1.5 per day for stays longer than 10 nights. Damage waiver purchases are optional.



To make this process easy for you, we use a secure and very simple, app-free platform. It is not an app, and you do not have to sign up for an account - it’s a safe and secure website. It also gives you a guest portal with all the info about the home and all of my favorite local spots.
