Lose the Main Street noise without missing the party! Enjoy the best of both worlds with a quick walk from your quiet neighborhood.
Use caution when booking other Fredericksburg guesthouses that claim to be 'walking distance' to Main Street. Often, you’ll end up walking 30 minutes to get to most of the galleries, shops, restaurants, beer gardens and festivals.
Fredericksburg is a small town, but it’s a Texas town and "Main Street" spans several blocks. However, 90% of bars, galleries, shops, tasting rooms, restaurants, and festivals are between Crockett Street & Washington. This puts the Jenschke Haus right smack dab in the middle of where you want to be. If you like Oktoberfest or other MarktPlatz festivals, don’t miss this one!
Getting around-
90% of bars and restaurants are a 5-minute walk. Wineries are also easy to reach by car or local tour operators. Send us a note for recommendations!
Be sure and visit the Farmer's Market at MarketPlatz on Thursdays from late spring to end of summer.
First Friday of the month features a local Gallery Art Walk where all the art galleries stay open a bit later (8 pm) and serve wine while you shop.
You can drink beer/wine in public downtown so don't worry about grabbing a beer while you walk around town.
Don't J-walk or make U-turns on Main Street. It's dangerous and they'll write you a ticket (or warning). Wait for the crosswalk to turn white.

Hi Rick,
Thank you for your kind review! We're happy you enjoyed your stay, especially the bocce ball.
We hope you'll look us up again the next time you're in Fredericksburg.
Wonderful house with comfortable beds and lots of space for a large group! Fully equipped kitchen that allowed us to enjoy a few meals at home. The house is spacious and quiet with an awesome outdoor area! Would definitely visit again!
Just two blocks to best part of Main Street. Nice sized bedrooms, multiple living spaces and great outdoor area make this a must for groups large or small! We will be back for sure!
Walkable to Main Street made it perfect. The screen porch-room in back was perfect. Decor and amenities were perfect.
Did I mention it was a perfect place for our weekend getaway?!!
Awesome VRBO lots of spaces and very well maintained
The house was a perfect location to be able to walk. Loved the king beds, sitting areas, and awesome outdoor space. All the essentials were in the house and we very much enjoyed our time and space.
This house had plenty of room with comfortable beds and large clean bathrooms. It was close to Main Street, which allowed us to walk into town to eat and shop. My daughter and I celebrated our milestone birthdays here with friends and we all loved it!
Charming home, nicely appointed. Fun screened porch and back yard with Bocce ball, gas grill and hot tub. Very short walk to Main Street. Was great place to meet up with our family!

About the host
Hosted by Monica & Eric Brown
Monica and Eric are college sweethearts and the owners of Jenschke Haus. Monica is originally from South Texas and Eric is from California. Monica works in education and Eric works in the travel/hospitality industry and is also an aspiring photographer (his photography is featured throughout our home).
Monica and Eric live in nearby Austin and love to escape the city to visit the beautiful Texas Hill Country to relax. The rolling hills and dozens of vineyards reminds them of Napa Valley in California. We love to go wine tasting, shop in the quirky local mom and pop stores, and sample the local restaurants and bars. We've tried to honor the history of the home by furnishing it with unique vintage pieces we've found at local antique stores and the annual Round Top antique show.
Why they chose this property
This property has plenty of space for families and groups and is in the ideal location being only 2 blocks from Main St and 3 blocks from Marketplatz (town square). The convenience of being able to walk to the best restaurants, shops, art galleries, and bars in 5 minutes is unbeatable. Yet, it feels very private on a large wooded lot overlooking Town Creek.
What makes this property unique
Walking distance to Main St! Screened-in porch, fire pit, hot tub, outdoor shower
