About Walnut Canyon Cabins
Fredericksburg, Texas

Welcome! We are Rhonda and Carl Rubadue.

We are happy and relaxed transplants to the Hill Country of Texas from the Intermountain West. I, Rhonda, am glad to be here away from the snows and winters of Utah, where we used to call home. Carl misses the four different seasons and appreciates that I help him get his "winter fix" with a ski trip every year!

After working behind a desk for decades as a Human Resources professional, I have embraced and adore our place here and am thrilled to share it with everyone!

I, Carl have been in some sort of the hospitality industry all my professional career(s). Mostly I worked behind the scenes and obtained a Certified Executive Chef designation, I look forward to playing in the kitchen for just a few family and friends. Most of all, I now enjoy meeting our guests and spending time with Rhonda, she is a great partner!

From our first tour of this unique property, Walnut Canyon Cabins, we continue to be amazed by how lucky we were to find this stunning place and by everyone who walks through our doors!

We have two great boys, two incredible daughters-in-law, and two wonderful grandchildren. We are truly blessed to have a place like this for them to come and unplug from their daily lives! Now we just need to get the grandkids closer so we can visit more often!

We continue to be thrilled to live in and get to know this beautiful Hill Country of Texas and look forward to meeting all y'all as you explore or just relax in this wonderful area known as "The Texas Hill Country."
