Luxury 23-AC Ranch Hot Tub Hill Country Views!

Welcome to Merritt’s Ridge, a private two-cabin retreat with 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms on a scenic 23-acre estate near Fredericksburg and Luckenbach. Located less than one mile from Alamo Springs Burger Cafe and Old Tunnel State Park, the property blends seclusion and convenience. Relax with friends and family, enjoy peaceful Hill Country views, soak in the hot tub, listen to birdsong, and watch unforgettable sunsets under star-filled skies. 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, do you choose to sit around the fire pit with a glass of wine, 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! -Please be cautious and aware of wildlife while driving at night in our area. ✅ This property has special local compliance requirements which include a signed rental agreement, ID verification, and a security hold of $1500 (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 $99.00 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. Walking, Biking, Uber, Car Thank you for choosing Stay Texas!
