Perks for the Parents

A historical home in the heart of Fredericksburg, Texas with a separate guest house, hot tub and heaps of quirky charm. It sleeps 10. This is a great location for parents interested in history, culture or architecture: the building is a Texas Historical Landmark and is close to the historic district which is filled with museums and landmarks marking the heritage of this region. This charming estate has been carefully preserved yet loaded with modern conveniences and impressive upgrades. Comprising 2 separate buildings, the green space in between the homes contains plenty of outdoor seating for those warm Texas nights, with a hot tub and outdoor fireplace for cooler evenings. A grill is also available for guests who want to cook up some Texan family meals.

Why Kids Love it

This is a great area for families and you’ll find lots to do with kids nearby. It’s a short walk to Old Fair Park where there’s a skate park, basketball court and playground. Walk over Main Street for Tubby’s burger joint and playground (5 minutes’ walk) for easy kids dinners, or watch the planes land while you snack on pancakes at the airport diner in Gillespie County Airport (8 minutes’ drive). For days out, try hiking or climbing at Enchanted Rock nature reserve (20 minutes’ drive). For parents traveling with grandparents or a nanny, the Sunday House provides a separate space from the Main House (sleeping up to 2).

About the Location

It’s close to the Vereins Kirche landmark, which is surrounded by a park, playground and farmers market, and 15 minutes’ walk from the Pioneer Museum, which celebrates the region’s German heritage (which can also be seen in the street’s German bakery).

Accommodation Details

This residence has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, set over 2 floors. It consists of 2 stone buildings with a gathering space between them. You’ll find a cozy living space, connected to a large bathroom with a walk-in shower, large bathtub and vanity space.

Further down the hall there’s a large dining room with a table seating 8, next to the fully equipped kitchen (containing a double oven, wine fridge, an updated fridge, dishwasher and tons of counter space). Open the French doors to access the garden space or the Sunday House or turn right to find the breakfast nook, half bathroom and laundry room.

Style Notes

Historic charm. This homely residence built in the 1860s by one of Fredericksburg’s original stonemasons, is filled with architectural details and updated with contemporary styling to create an inviting family abode. Each of the five bedrooms are carefully-decorated with local accents, while the Main House features a comfortable lounge area with a fireplace for cozy evenings. The historical marker at the entrance shows off the building’s rich history, as do the exposed stone walls and rustic wooden beams in the Sunday House. We love the quirky built-in shower within the stone walls, the traditional stag head in the living room and the charming upstairs balcony where you can watch the world go by.
