About this property

Diamond Belle | Unique and Beautiful Space

*Fireplace only available to use from October to March. Please make sure to bring your own firewood.*

*Outdoor shower only available to use from April to September.*

One of award winning builder Richard Laughlin's creations is a limestone rock home designed from a turn of the century Australian outback home with the decor of “Victorian Ranch”. Many of our guests have enjoyed Richard's first creations, Das Jager and Anastasia. The aged metal roof on Diamond Belle is topped with a cupola. Lattice conceals the private front porch.

Inside this one room home is a wonderful queen-size bed with an extraordinarily unique Mission style head and footboard. An array of wonderful fabrics have been tastefully combined and layered to create an awesome duvet cover. To emphasize the bed, a large mirror is featured on the wall behind the headboard. In the middle of the room hanging from the glass cupola is a masterful chandelier surrounded by natural wood ceilings adds that perfect touch of elegance to this rustic cabin. Limestone floors showcase an array of rugs including animal skins.

The large romantic whirlpool tub is surrounded by a collection of antique mirrors, but there is also a separate bathroom with a shower and a fabulous antique vanity. The coffeebar has a microwave, small refrigerator and coffeemaker.

Double doors lead to a “grouse” porch and courtyard. Cedar fencing surrounds the courtyard creating a true sense of privacy. As in Richard's previous creations you will find an outdoor shower (not available in the Winter). There is also a charcoal grill.

Located only a few miles from Fredericksburg “in the bush” this romantic home is a “fair dinkum beaut”. As they say in Australia “give it a burl”, bring your “coldie” enjoy a “bludger” evening, and you will discover that your stay is “rapt”.

Please Note: You are renting a cabin in the Hill Country which means you may encounter wildlife (Snakes, Deer, Racoons, ETC). Please be aware of your surroundings, and take caution while driving at night. You may also encounter the various bugs, spiders, scorpions and mice that live in the country AND sometimes do make their way inside. All properties do utilize pest control services on a regular basis BUT this does not guarantee no pests or bugs will be visible.

Great location in Fredericksburg
The location of being out of town, yet very close to town and all that Fredericksburg and the wineries have to offer was what we were looking for. This VRBO was exactly as pictured and described. It is tucked in in a private setting. Only one thing that I want to mention, and it was not serious enough to give less than 5 stars, was that it is close to the highway, and during the day time, there is a fair amount of highway noise, but it quietens down later in the evening.

Beautiful home. We had stayed there a few years back. Enjoyed our stay, but would highly highly recommend changing the bedding as all the throw pillows had an awful smell. We took them all off the bed laid them in a corner and drive to Walmart to get pillows and cases to use for our stay. Shower head in bathroom needs replaced or thoroughly cleaned absolutely NO Pressure. As stated previously Beautiful Home just needs some minor TLC. FYI our previous stay was in 2015 looked at pictures of that stay and bedding etc. is the same 😢
