This hill-country lodging was a pioneer home in the 1800s! Compared to a modern house, it's rather small, but compared to a hotel room, it's quite spacious--one living area, one bedroom (with fireplace), a kitchenette, and a bathroom (no tub). If you want the atmosphere of a rustic cabin for your weekend in the Texas Hill Country, this establishment would fit the bill. It offers privacy (no host on premises) and historical interest, but it's still close enough to town that you can easily get to the biergartens, bakeries, or shops of Fredericksburg.
Reservations are booked through Gastehaus-Schmidt, a local reservation service.
I almost forgot to mention the heart-shaped hot tub in the courtyard! No, I am not kidding. While hardly part of the rustic, historical aspect, I thought it was kind of neat. read more
