About this house rental
The 700-square-foot home is especially well suited for couples, small families, wedding guests and friends looking for a relaxed Hill Country stay rather than a hotel room. Spend the day exploring nearby breweries and wineries, attending a wedding just minutes away, visiting Hamilton Pool or Austin, then return to a peaceful property with dark skies, native wildlife and room to breathe.
This is not a traditional large vacation home. It is an intentionally small, thoughtfully designed house where every square foot has a purpose.
Inside you'll find a full kitchen, comfortable living area with Smart TV, Wi-Fi, washer and dryer, three sleeping areas plus a sleeper sofa, and the essentials for a comfortable Hill Country stay. Dogs and cats are welcome, and guests are invited to enjoy the five-acre property.
PERFECT FOR WEDDING GUESTS
Several popular Hill Country wedding venues are just minutes away:
The Addison Grove — about 4 minutes
Rambling Rose Ranch — about 4 minutes
The Prospect House — about 10 minutes
Pecan Springs Ranch — about 11 minutes
Nearby Fitzhugh favorites include Jester King Brewery, Beerburg Brewing, 12 Fox Beer Co. and other Hill Country destinations.

A NOTE FROM OUR FAMILY
Fence Line Little House was built around a simple idea: Use less. Need less. Let the land and thoughtful design do more.
We hope you enjoy the little things — the way sunlight moves through the house, the shade of the porch, the quiet of the land and the stars at night.
Thank you for staying with us and for caring for this little house as intentionally as it was built.
Welcome to Fence Line Little House.
