This completely restored German Farmhouse was built in 1920 by Otto Schneider who owned the local grocery and bottling company. Upon entering this historic property, you'll notice it is appropriately named The Stone Well Haus because of the well located in the living room. Although the well was previously located on the back porch, it wasn't uncommon for homes to have indoor cisterns to have access to fresh water. Expertly restored in 2016, the well is now covered and used as an end table and conversational centerpiece in the large open concept living, dining, and kitchen area. With plenty of windows to the back yard, this makes it the ideal place for entertaining both indoors and out.
The house is perfectly furnished throughout with a mix of modern furnishings and the owner's family antiques including a loom built in 1879 and a pie safe made by your hostess's great great grandfather. The master bedroom offers the perfect retreat with an iron king size bed and neutral linens with an en suite bath. Located up the original wood staircase are the other two bedrooms, second full bath, and writer's nook. The second King suite is large enough to be a second master and just as tranquil with a bath right outside the room. Two charming twin beds are located in the third bedroom providing a perfect haven for kids or additional guests.
The Stone Well Haus is also the perfect place for Fido! Your hosts have provided everything they might need including dog crates, bowls, and a fenced in yard making it the optimal getaway for everyone.
The home is dog-friendly and will accept up to two dogs. However, there is a pet fee of $17/dog/night (before tax). Due to the fact that HomeAway/VRBO does not allow us to charge for more than one dog at the time of booking, please let us know if you will be bringing more than one dog, so that we can make sure that you are charged the correct amount. If you bring more than one dog and do not let us know, you will be charged accordingly. Furthermore, please bring crates for your dogs and crate them in your absence from the house, do not allow the dogs on furniture or beds, and pick up and properly dispose of their waste. If these rules are not followed, there will be an additional $200 charge added to your reservation.

Wonderful Stay
We really enjoyed the home! It was very clean and well appointed. The space was perfect for our group and we enjoyed the location. I would definitely stay here again. Thanks for the great stay!
House was very nice and comfortable. Great location. Cistern access against the back of the house was not secure. It was a concern with daytime visiting grandkids. Half of back yard was Khaki Weed, stickers attached/tracked in by pets.

Family fun in Fredericksburg
The Stone Well Haus is one of our favorite guest houses in Fredericksburg! It is spacious, comfortable, and in a convenient location. We had a fun time and would stay there again.
I took my wife and some friends to celebrate my wife's 50th bday. The location was perfect, the house was perfect and the entire experience was perfect!

The Stone Well Haus March 28-30
House very comfortable and decorated nicely. Original creaky wood floors. Well in the den is fun to look at. Convenient location. Den furniture is a little tattered but nice. Bathrooms updated and nice. Kitchen well stocked and clean. Overall really liked the place.
We very much enjoyed our stay here! It was walking distance to Main Street which was great for our kids (14 & 11). The home was very clean and comfortable. It was also decorated for Christmas which I didn’t necessarily expect, but was wonderful. I would recommend this property to anyone looking for a home In Fredericksburg.
We had an awesome stay at this great property. The hose had everything we needed for a great getaway weekend. The house is super dog friendly, which was great for us. Backyard is great for drinking a glass of wine and relaxing.

Perfect place for the weekend
Absolutely beautiful home. Myself and 5 other girls stayed for the weekend and we all wanted to remodel our houses like this one. Very nice inside and out with plenty of room. Bathrooms and kitchens were very nice and the owners thought of everything.

New favorite
Fredericksburg is one of our favorite Texas destinations. We have stayed in various Sunday Houses but the Stone Well will be the home we keep coming back to.
We loved everything about the home. It's spacious and clean, has great amenities and is in a charming old neighborhood a short walk from Main Street. Being able to bring our dogs made it extra special.
This is a beautifully renovated house and is very well stocked with all the necessary amenities. We really appreciated all of the dog friendly touches with this property. Location is wonderful and it is pretty easy to walk to the main drag in town. Overall, we enjoyed our stay very much. There were a few cleanliness issues that could be improved, but I am maybe overly observant about these things and it is fine for most other folks. The management team is very responsive and helpful. Would definitely recommend a stay at this house!

Wonderful weekend holiday getaway
We reserved this house with another family for the holiday parade weekend, and it was perfect! A bedroom for each couple and one for the kids. It was nicely appointed and we had everything we needed including snacks and dishes. Everything in the house worked, it was immaculately clean, beds were comfortable, would definitely stay here again. The upstairs bedrooms are on different sides of the stairs which allowed for some privacy from the kids which was nice. Highly recommend this lovely home!
This was the perfect house for our annual family "girls trip" in Fredericksburg. The updates were wonderful, and we were impressed by the very nice downstairs master suite! The open floor plan allowed for easy conversation, and the kitchen, with the large island, was the perfect morning gathering spot! Great location within walking distance of main street. Would definitley recommend staying here! (Only drawback would be the steep stairs to the upper level ... a little tricky when carrying suitcases up ... but we managed without any issues)
We had a wonderful stay at Stonewell house. It’s a big house with comfortable beds and updated bathrooms. We had our dog, and everything was provided in the house including crates, dog bowls, fenced yard etc. we did forget our poop bags and had to make a trip to HEB for them. A few extra bags in the house would be great, other than that everything was wonderful. Highly recommended!

Wonderful Getaway
This is the 4th time I've stayed at this house with different groups of friends. The location is so convenient to walk to Main Street and the house is ideal for a group of 6
People. The beds are comfortable, the house is always clean and cute. I do wish there was more of an L shaped couch in the living room for hanging out and watching movies, as we always do that one night when we are there. The chairs are pretty small to get comfortable in. But overall, I would rent this place again!
