Running Horse Cottage: Breathtaking Views!

Saddle up and enjoy your stay at The Running Horse Cottage— a luxury one-bedroom cottage experience in the heart of Texas Hill Country. You’ll know you’ve arrived at The Running Horse when you glimpse the metal galloping horse sculpture guarding the front door. Surrounded by lush countryside and peaceful views, The Running Horse Cottage allows you to completely relax, while still keeping you close to the action in downtown Fredericksburg.

A winding pathway leads through the bushes and up to the charming portico and front door. Once inside, the cozy living area feels spacious and open— thanks to the soaring vaulted ceilings and lots of natural sunlight pouring inside. The main living area is split into a bedroom and a sitting area. The bedroom features a plush king-size bed set into an elegant wood frame and flanked by two matching side tables with convenient reading lamps.

In the living space, colorful, jewel-tone armchairs face a stylish area rug and mounted flatscreen television. This comfortable arrangement creates a perfect space for reading, conversation, watching TV, or enjoying some local wine from the nearby vineyard. The corner fireplace supplies just the right touch of cozy comfort to a chilly evening. In the kitchenette, there’s a sink, mini-fridge, microwave, and coffeemaker.

This cottage also features a spacious and luxurious spa-like bathroom. Soothing pale blue walls contrast perfectly with the dark wood vanity. A separate bathtub is an ideal spot to soak soar muscles after a day of hiking or horseback riding. There’s also a step-in shower lined with classic, glossy-white subway tiles.

In the private backyard, there’s a patio space with a barbecue grill and a table with an umbrella. You’ll want to cook some steaks on the grill then roast marshmallows for dessert. The alfresco dining table creates the perfect place to sip freshly-brewed coffee while watching the sunrise, or enjoy some locally-grown wine while watching the sunset. The Running Horse Cottage allows you to enjoy the peace and quiet that the Texas Hill Country is famous for, while never being more than ten minutes away from the dining and shopping downtown.

This gorgeous property is planted and designated as a native Texas wildlife habitat that draws in many birds and pollinators such as butterflies and bees.

*Please note D'Vine Cottage, Nest Cottage and Starry Night Main house are all located on the same property and may have guests during your stay.

*The outdoor area is a shared space with D'Vine Cottage and Nest Cottage.

Perfect Get Away Cottage.
The Cottage was perfect for a get-away weekend. The size is comfortable and cozy, with the fireplace and bathtub being nice luxury touches. Its located right outside Fredericksburg, but still close enough to access the city and the surrounding wineries. We loved our time there!

Beautiful Cottage -Great Location!
As a vrbo owner myself I can honestly say this cottage was perfect. It's located just a few minutes from downtown and provided a relaxing setting. Watched the deer graze from the back porch and the sunrise from the front of the property. Communication with Susan was excellent. Would love to return sometime!

Running Horse on Cherry Loop
Incredible! Long weekend get-away with my wife and we selected this property based on what we saw on-line and the reviews we read. 5 stars does not do this justice! Our stay was nothing short of amazing; Susan and Steve were wonderful hosts. check in was simple and exactly as they explained to us. Upon arrival we had a cheese board waiting for us, compliments of Susan and Steve. The location is easy to find and a short 10 minute drive from downtown Fredericksburg. The house is one of three rentals on the property; elevated on a hill with wonderful views. Running Horse is pet friendly and our two small dogs found themselves right at home. The stars at night are bright as there is no light pollution and it is very quiet and peaceful. We highly recommend. If you have a group of 6 you could easily rent all three properties and be close without being on top of one another. We will be back for sure!!!!!

Overall this was a great place.
The cottage was just as pictured and very nice. There are two other similar cottages nearby on the property but still seemed private. The only drawback was the water temperature and water pressure. The water never really got hot and there was a lack of water pressure in the shower.

Needs more towel, shower hard to cut on, and not a lot of hot water
They need to leave more then 4 towels. The shower knob is extremely hard to cut on the water. There is enough hot water to fill the bathtub once for a while. It is a very quite place and well maintained. Overall we enjoyed our stay, but probably want stay there again.

Country cabin
We enjoyed our time out in the country. It was a very secure cabin in a gated area. I would stay there again. However, this was the first place that we have ever stayed in where we were asked to remove our sheets before we left, take out our trash, and wash our dishes.

What a nightmare!
Property was great BUT instructions of how to unlock gate and house in the dark were a nightmare. Waited in the dark cold for 30++ minutes trying to reach someone (phoning and texting for over 30 minutes with NO response). Eventually, got an email with instructions.

Quaint Girls Trip Getaway!
My best friend and I came to get away from life for the weekend and we had a blast! The place was so open, airy and felt huge! It was so clean and just the space we needed for our short stay. I let them know that since we were further out of town than originally thought (15-18 mins vs 10 mins) that complimentary waters/snacks and maybe even a cheap wine would be great to offer because the nearest store is almost 20 minutes away AND the town shuts down pretty early. Overall, the AirBnB, the bed/pillows, cleanliness, great bathroom, patios, and quietness with a tv to wind down at night was awesome! Loved it all! I’d stay here again for sure!

Our getaway
The property was adorable! Nice decor. We had reserved the cottage for 3 nights...the janitorial service had left 4 towels, ONE WASH CLOTH, 2 hand towels!!!! We reported it but didn’t get extra washcloths until Wednesday...the day before we were checking out! They were very apologetic!! The emails were replied to in a timely manner!
