About this property
*Walkable* 1 Blk 2 Main Hot Tub FirePit EV Charger
The historic Pioneer Haus was built in 1848 and was one of the first homes constructed of natural resources in the budding town of Fredericksburg by the Kneese family who had recently immigrated from Germany. The main living area maintains the rustic charm of the wood and plaster walls that have withstood the test of 175 years. An early meeting place of the Methodist Church, the home has seen several additions and hosted many notables over the years of use. This is more than just a place to stay, it is immersing yourself in the history of Fredericksburg and the pioneers who settled this land. Admire the craftsmanship of the hand hewn timber, stones and square hand hammered nails. Step out the front door and watch the heart of the city pass by. Easily walk to shops, parks, churches and restaurants. No fussing with parking, leave your car in the driveway and take an easy stroll to all the sites and attractions.
Pioneer Haus features a full kitchen with a functioning vintage reproduction stove with six burners and an oven. A well worn cast metal sink serves current occupants as it did many generations before. Enjoy a meal in the dining room hewn from native Stonewall limestone rock which stays naturally cool in hot Texas summers. Modern amenities also complement the kitchen including a microwave, toaster, an ice maker and your choice of a Keurig or a standard coffee maker. Relax in the private backyard area by soaking in the hot tub, enjoying a fire at the fire pit all while watching the outdoor television.
The home accommodates 7 people with a large primary bedroom featuring a king size bed with quality linens and comfortable pillows, a second bedroom with a queen size bed, and a third bedroom with both a queen size bed and a single bed. The primary bathroom has a large walk-in shower and the second bathroom has a tub/shower combination. The home is decorated with period antiques mixed with a clean, modern feel. Pioneer Haus provides all the comforts of modern life such as high speed Wi-fi and streaming TVs, take a work call or stream your favorite show. The outdoor firepit and grill allow for enjoying the private yard space. The property is directly across the street from the Gillespie County Historical Society and the Pioneer Museum. It is also diagonally across the street from St. Mary's Catholic Church making it very convenient for anyone attending events at either of these popular destinations. The location is very walkable to all of Main Street with a myriad of restaurants, shops and event venues. No need to find parking on busy Main Street, you can park your car on our property and easily walk to most attractions. There is also ample free parking right outside the front door. We recently installed a TESLA Car Charger, so bring your TESLA and charge it up while you sleep.

About the host
Hosted by Cindy Nelson

With long ties to Fredericksburg, Texas, the owner of this property is the Great-great grandchild of one of the early settlers of this historic town. Having sailed on the "Element" from Germany, he became one of the first school teachers while also making a living as a wine maker, inventor, furniture maker, composer and music teacher. Jacob Brodbeck was a true pioneer in many aspects and his ancestors love keeping his legacy and the unique characteristics of this quaint Central Texas town alive.
Why they chose this property
We wanted to be closer to our roots in this historic town. We love the friendly atmosphere with so many fun events and activities to choose from. Everything is walkable from our location and we feel connected to the heart of the community here. We enjoy hearing the bells ring for church services and watching the world pass by from the front porch. Most parades are routed right past our front door, so you would have the front row seat!
What makes this property unique
There are very few opportunities to stay in a home with as much history as the Pioneer Haus. For 175 years, this home has hosted newly immigrated families, Methodist church meetings and now it welcomes guests from all over to marvel at the hand hewn timber and stone walls, to take in the square, hand made nails still in use and appreciate the craftsmanship of the many antiques still in use 100+ years later. Our guests are transported back in time to the early days of Fredericksburg and the wonder and challenges that the settlers must have endured. The original well and windmill still grace the property giving a glimpse into how the early owners of this home would have lived their daily lives.
One of the best features of the Pioneer Haus is the premium location. It is just ONE short block from Main Street. So although you enjoy the quiet away from the hustle and bustle, you can park your car for free at the Pioneer Haus and stroll to the shops and restaurants just moments away.
