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 (city ordinance requires 10:00 pm quiet time), 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!

The property is in a quiet neighborhood and close to town, parks, and wineries. The kitchen is large and had all the utensils and pans to cook a Thanksgiving dinner. The three season porch was really nice to sit and relax. Bicycles are provided but we needed another day if we were to use them. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms well equipped. This is a very nice home and we would stay here again.

About the host

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!
