About this property

Historic Gem DT w/Hot Tub, Game Room + Pets Free!

  • New! No pet fees!
    Step into a piece of Fredericksburg history while enjoying all the comforts of a modern Hill Country getaway. This beautifully restored landmark home, originally built in 1898, offers an unforgettable stay just moments from the heart of downtown Fredericksburg. Rich with character, history, and thoughtful updates, this grande dame invites guests to experience the best of the Texas Wine Country from a setting unlike any other.

    Originally constructed by German pioneer Ferdinand Koeppen as a traditional Sunday House, this cherished Fredericksburg landmark has been lovingly preserved while incorporating modern amenities for today's traveler. Throughout the home, you'll find original historic details that tell the story of its past, including beautifully preserved flooring, vintage-inspired tile work, and architectural elements that have stood the test of time for more than a century. These authentic features blend seamlessly with contemporary upgrades, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that honors the home's heritage while delivering modern comfort.

    The location is truly exceptional. Situated within 6 blocks of Fredericksburg's vibrant Main Street, guests can easily explore award-winning wineries, tasting rooms, boutique shopping, renowned restaurants, lively beer gardens, and local attractions without venturing far from home. Whether you're planning a wine weekend, a family gathering, or a relaxing escape with friends, you'll be perfectly positioned to enjoy everything Fredericksburg has to offer.

    Outside, the property's beautifully maintained grounds create a private retreat in the middle of town. Start your mornings on the expansive front porch with a cup of coffee as the town awakens around you. Spend your afternoons relaxing in the secluded courtyard, gathering around the grill for dinner, or unwinding in the hot tub beneath the Texas sky. As evening approaches, head up to the rooftop deck to enjoy spectacular sunset views and a peaceful vantage point overlooking historic Fredericksburg.

    When it's time for entertainment, the dedicated game room becomes the hub of fun and friendly competition. Challenge your group to Ping-Pong or foosball, gather around for board games, or settle in with your favorite movie on the large flatscreen TV. The spacious layout provides plenty of room for everyone to spread out while still enjoying time together.

    The fully updated gourmet kitchen offers everything needed to prepare meals and snacks throughout your stay, while multiple indoor and outdoor gathering spaces make it easy to connect, celebrate, and create lasting memories.

    Dog lovers will appreciate that four-legged family members are welcome, making it easy to bring your furry companion along for your Fredericksburg adventure. No pet fees charged!

    Few homes offer the opportunity to stay inside a true piece of Texas Hill Country history while enjoying modern luxury, a prime downtown location, exceptional outdoor living spaces, and endless entertainment. Whether you're soaking in the hot tub after a day of wine tasting, enjoying sunset views from the rooftop deck, or relaxing on the iconic front porch, this remarkable Fredericksburg landmark delivers an experience as memorable as the town itself.

    To help preserve the peaceful atmosphere of our historic neighborhood, guests are asked to observe Fredericksburg quiet hours from 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM. Please keep voices low when enjoying the porch, courtyard, rooftop deck, or hot tub after 10 PM, and refrain from playing outdoor music during these hours. We appreciate your help in being respectful of our neighbors and the historic downtown community.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The house was clean and beautifully decorated. We had a family get-together, we all wanted to be in one location. We each had a room and our own bathroom. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook. We were able to cook out and enjoy the front porch and the back yard. This house is perfect for any get-together. Just a few blocks from downtown Fredericksburg. Great communication with the host! We enjoyed our time in the hot tub and check in/out was very easy. We will stay here again!!
