About this property

Your perfectly charming get-away in the center of the Texas Wine Country!

The Helen Louise House, located in a quiet neighborhood, is only a 10 minute walk from downtown Fredericksburg's museums, restaurants, art galleries, shops, and wine tasting rooms. The charming 2 bed/2 bath house, built in 1950 and lovingly renovated and expanded in 2016, is perfect for 1 or 2 couples or a small family. You will appreciate the fully equipped large kitchen and wine bar, the sparkling clean full bathrooms, the light and airy screened-in porch, and the large and comfortable living room. Additionally, the property is fully landscaped with a large backyard complete with a 2-person hammock and the sound of a soothing fountain. Enjoy a picnic lunch or dinner outside on the shaded patio beneath a lovely, mature pecan tree. If it's chilly, warm up by the chimenea and watch the yard art in the hen house! You are welcome to enjoy exploring Fredericksburg riding one of the many cruiser bikes available in the garage. You'll love the small touches provided by us, the private owners of the Helen Louise House--from the bathroom amenities baskets to the wine and snack basket, your stay will be unforgettable!

Cozy little getaway

We really enjoyed staying at this quiet, quaint home. Check-in and check-out was a breeze. The house was fully stocked with anything we could possibly need, including snacks and a bottle of wine! We loved sitting on the screened in patio and watching the birds while having our morning coffee. Would definitely stay again!

What a charming house and neighborhood, convenient to everything, yet away from the traffic and crowds! Our host has thought of every possible need or want in a vacation rental.

Birthday Weekend

My sister and I took my mom to Fredericksburg for a birthday weekend, and we had a wonderful time at the Helen Louise House! It was very clean, fun retro decor, great communication from the owner, a great screened in porch with tons of birds. They even had a snack basket and toiletries and the only clean up we had to do was taking the trash out and putting towels in the tub! Awesome place!!

Wonderful 2 bedroom, 2 bath

Well maintained clean home that is stocked with everything you need for a short term rental. Beth even included snacks, sodas and a bottle of wine! Loved the large bottles of toiletries in the shower and complementary coffee, tea, sugar and creamers. Sitting on the back porch is like being in a park! I definitely recommend this adorable cottage in a beautiful neighborhood close to downtown. This place is a winner!

I had the perfect stay at a wonderful house located in an ideal neighborhood. The attention to detail was excellent, and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was fully stocked, and the beautiful backyard, along with the lovely sun porch, added to the charm. There was plenty of space in the living room, making it an overall fantastic house. The pictures don’t do it justice; it’s even cuter in person! I highly recommend this house and will be staying there again. The owners were amazing—easy to contact and truly the sweetest people. I appreciated them!

Refreshing Reconnect

This was the perfect place to reconnect with friends. The 2 beds and 2 bath was the right size for the 3 of us. The screened in porch made for a great place to relax among the serene setting and have "catch-up" conversations. The house was very homy, comfortable and nicely updated. We loved having access to bikes ready to ride and enjoyed touring the town on them. Beth, the host, was great to work with! We would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Helen "Beth" Plevich

Host profile image
Max and I (Beth) own and manage the Helen Louise House, named after my mother. We bought the house in 2016 because we love Fredericksburg and love riding our bikes around the Hill Country. Since we live in Austin, we decided to rent the house, when we ourselves aren’t able to use it. We hope you’ll love the house as much as we do!
