About this property
Luxury Farmhouse Retreat, POOL/HOT TUB, Minutes to Main St.
Welcome to Giving Tree — Where Hill Country Memories Are Made.
The name says it all. Giving Tree was built to give — space for the whole family, shade on a hot Texas afternoon, the kind of kitchen where someone always ends up telling stories while dinner gets made, and a hot tub that holds one more glass of local wine perfectly.
We designed this home for the gatherings worth traveling for: the milestone birthday, the annual family reunion, the friend group that finally got its act together and booked the trip. At 3,700 square feet with six bedrooms and room for 16, there's space to be together — and space to steal a quiet moment of your own.
The Space: The great room sets the tone the moment you walk in — soaring 20-foot vaulted ceilings, walls of glass that pour Hill Country light across the open floor plan, and a layout made for big dinners and even bigger conversations. It's the kind of room that makes everyone feel at home, whether you're gathered for a meal or just lingering over a morning cup of coffee while the sunlight spills in. The primary suite is a sanctuary all its own: heated marble floors, a rainfall shower, flat-screen TV with Amazon Firestick, and plush linens that make it genuinely hard to leave. Every guest room is furnished with memory foam mattresses and luxury linens — because we believe the details matter, especially when you've traveled to get here.
The Outdoors: Step outside and the pool is waiting — crystal clear, all yours, with a sun-soaked tanning ledge and bench seating for the ones who'd rather watch. The shaded veranda with sleek ceiling fans is made for slower moments in between, and when the Texas heat gives way to a Hill Country evening, the in-ground hot tub earns its keep. After a day of exploring Wine Road 290 or wandering Main Street's tasting rooms and beer gardens, there's no better way to end the night.
The Kitchen: The chef's kitchen was built for the kind of entertaining that happens naturally when the whole family is under one roof. Stainless appliances, a dual-zone wine fridge, two full sets of dishes for indoor and outdoor use, and every cooking essential you'd need — from knife block to Tupperware — means the only thing you need to bring is the appetite.
The Details That Make It Feel Like Home: Cruelty-free, vegan-friendly toiletries from Public Goods — shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap, and lotion Plush bath towels, hand towels, and makeup towels included Coffee basics stocked and ready for that first quiet morning Laundry service for towels and linens included after your stay
The Location: Walk out the front door and you're already in one of Texas's most beloved small towns. Main Street boutiques, restaurants, wine tasting, and live music are just minutes on foot. Wine Road 290, Hill Country trails, and the local golf course are all within easy reach. Giving Tree sits at the center of everything Fredericksburg does best — and gives you a beautiful place to come home to at the end of it all.
Come ready to do everything. Leave feeling like you did nothing but rest.

Fantastic home with great layout! Perfect for our extended family. Having the Casita is a great option to give us lots of flexibility. Perfect walk to Main Street for shopping and restaurants. Excellent time!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The house, pool and location could not be beat. It was clean and well appointed. We would definitely return to this home.
This house fit all of our needs to celebrate my 30th birthday with family and friends! Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, house was very clean, and communication with the host was exceptional! Anything we needed, he responded very timely. Would book this house again!
What an amazing experience we had with GivingTree at their house. Home was beautiful, clean, and all the amenities we could’ve wanted. The Host even had a special treat waiting for us upon our arrival. Highly recommend!!!
The house is gorgeous and we would definitely stay there again. Communication is great and the owner is very responsive. It was clean and obviously well taken care of. Highly recommend!
House was large and roomy for our family of 12! Kitchen was great with a lot of workspace and had everything we needed. Comfy beds and large rooms. We all loved the pool and game room! Close to everything in Fredericksburg!
This home was beautiful! Bedrooms & baths were decorated beautifully. Super clean. Beds were quite comfy. LOVED the butlers pantry & kitchen. The pool area was a big hit! Very impressed with this property!! Mike was easy to get ahold of when we had a couple questions while there and a wonderful host! Thank you for sharing your home with us!!Side note…parking on Main Street was SUPER easy - plenty of spots to pick from.
Great property within walking distance of Main Street! The house plan was just right for our family of 8 adults, 2 children and golden retriever. We loved the large fully-stocked kitchen, eating space, oversized sofa and TV. And the pool and outdoor furnishings were perfect for fun and relaxation.
The only amenities missing were a laundry room and outdoor grill, but we were able to use a grill pan on the gas stove top provided by the host and there were plenty of bath and pool towels on hand in each room and the hallway linen closet.
This property exceeded all our expectations. Every detail is top of the line. They have thought of everything you may need, from the linens, to the kitchen, to the pool area, and more. We had a family celebration with 10 adults and one child, and each person had privacy in their own quiet area. We commented on how surprised we were that such high-quality furnishings had been chosen for a rental property. The house was immaculate and the communication was excellent. Highly recommend!
I rented this home for me and my family while we attended a wedding in Fredericksburg. This home is absolutely fabulous and perfect in every way. Every detail in the home is of the finest quality, from the amazing kitchen to the high-quality bedding. Mike and his wife have thought of every possible amenity and have provided only the best for their guests in this home. I'm surprised they rent this fine home to strangers, but I am thrilled that I had the opoortunity to do that very thing! Mike was instantly responsive to every text I sent, which I greatly appreciated, plus I was greeted with a beautiful crudite board and a bottle of wine. My grandchildren loved the ping-pong table and basketball game in the garage, and it was difficult to get them out of the pool to go to the wedding:) I will be planning another trip to Fredericksburg again, just so that I can stay in this gorgeous home one more time:)
