Storybook in the Texas Hill Country

Summary:

Sleeps 8 • Perfect for Families • Pet-Friendly



Welcome to The Little Haus in the Hill Country, a storybook getaway hosted by best-selling children’s book author Melanie Salas—a Hill Country cozy escape made for families, friends, fresh air, and memory-making.



The Space:

The most treasured space in the home is the expansive screened-in porch with a wood-burning fireplace; a true Hill Country haven for movie nights by the glow, fireside wine, slow mornings, and relaxing evenings under the Texas sky.



Sleeping up to 8, it’s ideal for families, couples, and girlfriends’ weekends. Kids will be obsessed and happily entertained for hours in the main-floor playroom featuring a two-story storybook playhouse; perfect for imaginative adventures and make-believe fun.



The home features a private main-floor primary bedroom, and upstairs, the cozy loft is perfect for movie nights in bed after a fun Hill Country day.



Pet-friendly; bring the whole family (pups included)! Enjoy extensive resort amenities including pools, pickleball, putt-putt golf, and a playground, close to Fredericksburg and Luckenbach.



Guest Access:

Guests have private access to the entire home, including outdoor seating areas, porches, and all resort amenities. Check-in is simple, with easy entry and convenient parking right at the site.



Check-in instructions and your door code will be sent to you via a SuiteOps link after your reservation is confirmed. The main entry is the keypad door. Please make sure the sliding door is closed and latched whenever you leave and at night. If you have any trouble with a door or lock, call or text us at 830-999-2694.



The Neighborhood:

Located within Firefly Resort, surrounded by scenic vineyards, rolling hills, and peaceful Hill Country views. Enjoy proximity to local wineries, dining, and downtown Fredericksburg attractions.



Getting Around:

Driving is the best way to explore the Hill Country. Resort roads are simple to navigate, and local wineries and shops are just a short drive away.

Kristal, a perfect ten means a lot, and we're glad you took a moment to leave it. The Hill Country has a way of getting into people, and we hope the house gave you a real taste of why. Come back any time, there's always another season worth seeing out here.
