Perfectly Memorable
Zena's guest house was comfortable, unique, and perfect for our getaway. We had everything we needed for our stay. The location was just minutes away from everything we wanted to do in the area, while being away from town with breathtaking views. We will definitely stay here again!

beautiful site and decoration
We had a wonderful time and would love to have stayed longer. The view from the site is spectacular, and Zena (the owner) is an amazing artist who's decorated the place so everywhere you look, there's a unique piece of art. She's also well supplied the refrigerator - even two beers. Loved it here!

Scenic and Peaceful Spot for Hill Country Getaway!
What an amazing property! You'll enjoy scenic views from the relaxing porch, whether you're star gazing or having your morning coffee. Zena is the most accommodating host - she really has thought of everything her guests might need and the property, which shares space with her art gallery and workshop, is situated in a great spot for exploring Hill Country. Highly recommend! We'll be back soon!

Can I give more than 5 stars? Everything was perfect. The setting, the accommodations, the owner. All the little things were also just to notch. My only complaint is that I have no complaints and that just never happens to me 😄

Absolute Paradise
What a wonderful experience. The sunrise each morning is spectacular. Very private and you can hear the breeze blowing thru the trees on the patio. The wineries are just a short drive away. Lots of wildlife on the land to view. We will definitely be back. Zena is a wonderful host and very inspiring. Thank you for everything. Lee and Terri

Love, Peace and Tranquility
My husband and I spent the weekend at Zena's in Mid-August. First of all, to have Zena waving at us from on top of the hill let us know she was going to be a fantastic, generous hostess. She was warm, friendly, but also mindful of our privacy. Her home is set far enough away from the apartment that we felt absolutely alone in the hills. The apartment has everything, and I mean everything you could need, from coffee, eggs and bacon in the kitchen, to hairspray, shampoo and a first aid kit in the bath. The sunrise off the deck was magical. We are so sorry we never got to meet EJ. Zena, his spirit lives on in every spot of the property. We could tell the two of you lovingly built this place as a way to celebrate love, peace and tranquility. We enjoyed all 3 at your place. Thank you. All our best to you in this difficult time.

Art and nature melded beautifully
My husband and I chose Zena's unique place based on previous reviews and perfect location for our needs - we came down from Dallas to meet with friends who were staying at Miller's RV park nearby. Zena was easy to communicate with prior to our stay and a joy to meet in person while we were there for 3 full days. She went the extra mile to assist us unsolicited when a rain shower wet our rented SlingShot by covering with a tarp and offering towels to dry it off - also keeping umbrellas near our door to use if needed. She's a jewel and her gallery and apt. are so intriguing and comfortable and offer insights into the interesting perspectives from her life. She welcomed our friends one evening and joined us for lively conversation which we all enjoyed so much. Loved the well equipped kitchen (and treats of eggs/bacon/juices/beers for the taking) and views from her deck which made the experience a true get away from city life! Will return and suggest to our friends and family looking for a quality stay in the hill country.

My husband and I had a great time in Johnson City and our accommodations were great. Zina was very helpful with giving us wineries and nice places to go for dinner etc. The view from our guest house was beautiful. The full kitchen was a plus and she even had snacks and drinks in the refrigerator. We definitely would recommend this guest house and will stay there again.

Oasis in the Hill Country
We had a wonderful visit to Johnson City and Fredericksburg this weekend and it was highlighted by our amazing accommodations at Copper Roof Ranch. Zena is such a gracious hostess and she has thought of everything anyone could need while staying in her apartment, from a fully stocked kitchen to toiletries in the bathroom to a frozen pizza, eggs and bacon in the fridge in case we needed a meal. Her personal, artistic touch is seen throughout the inside and outside of the apartment, and especially in the private gallery adjoining the living space. The apartment is warm and inviting. The view from the back deck is truly something to savor and can be enjoyed even from inside. We will definitely be back! (Additionally, Christmas time is a magical time to spend an evening in Johnson City itself for the festivities and the Lights Spectacular. Just be prepared to wait a while if you decided to eat at one of the restaurants.)

Zena is a wonderful host.. The only place we stay in the area. The rental is excellent... almost off grid... no internet/no television...beautiful, quiet property, I seriously could spend all day on the patio. Wildlife is a bonus!

Touches of art , tranquil , and sunrises
Our host surprised us with champagne., chocolates and more upon our arrival. We were delighted with the welcoming Anniversary surprise. The from the porch was wonderful Hill Country views. From the master bedroom we woke up to beautiful sunrises. The refrigerator was stocked with food for snacks and breakfast The unit was attached to to her eclectic art gallery. The stay surpassed our expectations. No TV, our tv was art, nature and sunrises.

Great little hidden gem
My husband and I stayed at the Copper Roof Ranch during our visit to the Fredericksburg area. The property was beautiful, quiet and wonderfully appointed including a refrigerator stocked with the basics and all the tools needed to cook breakfast. Due to the weather we were not able to fully enjoy the outdoor space, but did to enjoy a little time outside while drinking our morning coffee. The property is a bit off the beaten path but well worth the drive. We will definitely keep it in our rotation when visiting the area.

Great getaway!
The ambiance of the property is relaxed, creative, and welcoming. It's very evident that Zena, the owner, was very intentional in every detail of the property, from the interior decor to the perfect alignment of the bedroom window and outside patio to the eastern sunrise (if for no other reason, visit this property for the gorgeous sunrise!). Zena herself was extremely accommodating and made us feel right at home. The mattress is super soft, which was an adjustment for my wife and I who are used to a firm mattress, but overall was a wonderful experience and easily 5 stars!

Beautiful property
This location was perfectly situated between Johnson city and Fredericksburg. It was a great place to stay for the wine trail with easy access to the local wineries. The guest house itself is located inside of the property managers art workshop away from the main house. The guest house has a full kitchen and a gorgeous porch with amazing views of the hills, you can watch the sun rise from the bed. The bathroom was roomy enough for 2 people to get ready in together. The owner communicated with us perfectly and answered any questions we had, she was very nice and attentive to any needs. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend this location to friends and family.

A little slice of heaven
After months of WFH and isolation, because 2020, I escaped to the Hill Country for a much needed weekend of peace and tranquility. No laptop, no TV. It was perfect. Zena’s place is absolutely lovely, and she is a wonderful host. Anything you might have forgotten, she probably has squirreled away in the guest house. You are close to Hye and Fredricksburg, without having to deal with Fredricksburg traffic or crowds until you want to. The location is so quiet, you can literally hear bees buzzing in the flowers. You get the added bonus of visiting hummingbirds and deer walking right past you as you sit on the deck. Sunrises and sunsets are breathtaking. I did not want to leave!
