A Fly Fishing Hideaway exists in the Hill Country of Texas, just outside the historical, quaint town of Fredericksburg. An inviting bed & breakfast ranch called The Back Forty of Fredericksburg.

It is here that you can enjoy acres upon acres of rejuvenation... from fly fishing, hiking, bird watching to strolling through fields of wildflowers and watching mesmerizing sunsets. Fish for trophy bass and bluegill in our creek-fed lake.

 

We welcome you to the Texas charm of

The Back Forty Ranch of Fredericksburg, Texas.

 

In 1846, The German Immigration Department deeded a parcel of land in the Texas Hill Country, just outside Fredericksburg, to Jacob Weinheimer. Several years later, in the 1860's, he built a solid rock homestead and stable on the bank of Baron's Creek.

In 1992, William and Patricia Collins discovered the long abandoned dwellings and restored them into a welcoming bed and breakfast. Two guestrooms now accompany the Collins' home on this ranch.

The Guest House...
The stable is now a wonderfully inviting cottage... with a charming bedroom loft overlooking a honeycombed fireplace and cozy sitting area. Period furnishings, a private bathroom, and front and back patios make a very romantic stay.

The Texas Suite...
The rustic feel of Texas comes to life in this western style suite with private bathroom. Southwestern furnishings, including a cedar post bed, accent the expansive, second-story room. Several windows provide cool night breezes and panoramic views of the ranch. Plus, this guestroom comfortably sleeps up to four guests.

Hospitality, Tranquility and Hungry Fish Await You...
Wake up each morning to the comforts of home, and enjoy breakfast in the privacy of your room or quietly slip down to the edge of the creek and watch the day begin while plying the calm waters with your favorite fly You won't have to rub shoulders with hundreds of other anglers here. It will be like fishing on your own private ranch. or you may choose to simply take the morning off and relax in your room where you'll find, neatly hidden away in a country cupboard, morning treats and beverages...along with a refrigerator, coffee maker, microwave and toaster. Linger over a second cup of coffee under the live oak at the edge of Baron's Creek while you ponder the day ahead. Or reflect on your day's events while watching the sunset from the herb garden patio with the fragrance of lavender in the air.
