My boyfriend and I planned a little one night getaway over our spring break.. We were SO excited to stay at back forty. It looked REALLY nice in the PICTURES. When we arrived, i thought to myself... are you freaking kidding me? THIS is what we are paying for?? For one, we couldnt even get the doors to open! we... More

My girlfriend and I spent our annual summer vacation at the Back Forty! It is a beautiful property, close to town, yet isolated and tranquil. We stayed in the French Cottage, which I would highly recommend for a girlfriend getaway - it is simply charming! The horseback riding with Veronica was just a blast, the massages (afterwards) :-) were very... More

Well we booked a room for memorial day weekend but had to cancel, mind you this was just two days later,so I called the lady that runs the place and told her our reasons for the cancellation and she told us there was a 35 dollar cancellation fee which was not on the website by the way, so we said...

A good place to be tranquil, but look out for a little neglect. The cottages have a kitchenette, but I took a plate out to use, and it was greasy. The grounds have great places to relax, very romantic. The bed was big but sort of soft. There was a nice fireplace and plenty of wood .Even without the fire;... More

If you are looking for peace and tranquility, sit beneath the two magnificent live oak trees on the bank of Baron's creek. Fish, birds, and butterflies abound without the noise of the city, truly a unique place. The breakfast "delivered to your room" was excellent, fresh berries, homemade sausage, thick sliced bacon, pecan pancakes, and quiche was over the top.... More

Our stay at the BackForty was not good. The bed was extremely uncomfortable. It was so soft in the middle it sunk, while the head and feet area stayed up. It was like sleeping in a small trench. Sleeping on the floor would be preferable. That was the "BED" part. The "BREAKFAST" part was equally as pitiful. It consisted of... More

We were pleasantly surprised at the cost of this place for what we received. The electric was not up to code, open wires, broken light bulbs, cob webs, and doors that either didn't open or open with a 12 ft. drop off with a simple sign saying "please leave door closed" - major safety hazard. We were charged extra than... More

I have been to the Backforty for two summers in a row, and it is fantastic. A friend and I went in 2008 for the first time, and we had a blast, so as a result of our wonderful stay, we went back again in the summer of 2009 and again had an amazing visit. The owners are phenomenal, and... More

Several of us had the reunion of a lifetime at the Back Forty of Fredericksburg. Pat and Bill, our B&B hosts, treated us to the best BBQ with live music and amazingly delicious food. We got the true taste of the hill country of Texas in every way. Breakfast served to us daily made us all feel like royalty. Pat... More
