About this property

Swim, Relax & Grill! 'Howdy Haus' Near Main Street

1,927 Sq Ft | Walkable Winery Scene | Outdoor Entertainment Oasis | Pet Friendly w/ Fee

Yeehaw! This Fredericksburg vacation rental is one you won't want to miss. The 'Howdy Haus' was designed with recreation in mind, including happy hours on the patio, afternoon grill-outs by the backyard bar, and leisurely days spent by the private pool. After you've satisfied your inner sommelier with a day of wine tastings, come home to soak in the hot tub or share stories around the fire pit.

Howdy Haus Haven!

The Howdy Haus was a great oasis for our Fredericksburg Girl's Trip weekend. I honesty wish we would have spent more time hanging out at the Haus. It was the perfect recreational/social hang spot and also very close to Main St. etc. I would definitely come back.

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our time here. The house is close enough to Main Street yet far enough away to be quiet and relaxing. Overall, we had a great time here. Highly recommend.

A Relaxing Family Weekend in Fredericksburg, TX

Our family getaway to Fredericksburg, TX, was a memorable experience, thanks to the comfortable and inviting home we stayed in. We cherished the peace and quiet, the backyard pool and hot tub, and the convenience of being close to town. We can't wait to return and create more cherished memories in this lovely town. If you're looking for a relaxing and enjoyable family escape, Fredericksburg should be at the top of your list, and this home is the perfect place to stay!

Wonderful Property with Great Location!

Any large group traveling to the area should consider this property! It was exactly as advertised and exceeded our expectations. Not only did the rental have everything we needed for the weekend (including plenty of wine glasses), but it also had very comfy beds and was decorated wonderfully. The best part was the awesome backyard!

Great house w/ attentive owners

We really enjoyed our stay. The house and backyard are a great set up for enjoying time with a group. Unfortunately the hot tub had mechanical issues our first night but the owners were very attentive and got it fixed on day two. Overall we enjoyed our stay and appreciate their commitment correcting our issues.

Perfect!

Howdy Haus was perfect for our group of 9 adults, 1 child, and 1 dog. We loved the four bedrooms with King beds and enjoyed the amenities of the property (pool, hot tub, full kitchen, etc). Overall great location, good neighborhood, and good parking availability. However, note that it is not within comfortable walking distance to the main street or the 290 wine shuttle pick up.

Great family get away at the Howdy Haus

This is an absolutely fun and lovely property. The hosts have equipped it with all the amenities. The hot tub is very nice and the pool is small but clean and perfectly refreshing. We did not utilize the couch as a sleeping option so cannot attest to that but the beds are all comfortable. One recommendation is to put blackout curtains in the front room off the kitchen as this is where the suns shines in in the morning. I give this place a thumbs up and hope to be back again.

Fun place to stay

Spent 10th wedding anniversary with husband and 2 fur babies. We had a great time! The home was large enough for a lot more people but we still enjoyed as a couple... ping pong, spa, pool (although too cold to use), great porch, fire pit. It was exactly as presented online and close to main street. We loved the Howdy House and would recommend to others. Hopefully we can stay there again in the future when it is warm enough to use the lovely pool! Linda, Mac, Bella and Lolo

Happy with Howdy Haus!!

Howdy Haus was a great place for our group of 8!! The rooms are very roomy and the beds were VERY comfortable. It was clean and well suited for us. Each couple had their own room and king size bed. The back porch with the windows up gave a great breeze for sitting. After some time in the hot tub, we enjoyed a warm fire in the fire pit. We had one small question, and it was answered very quickly. This is definitely a house we’ll consider in the future! If I had to give one piece of advice…purchase a new coffee pot. The one there took forever to make a pot and it wasn’t hot when finished. Otherwise, we all enjoyed our stay!!

Great spot, highly recommend! Ping pong, hot tub, pool!

Great spot, very clean, easy check in & check out. Ping pong table, small private pool, nice hot tub, we had a great stay! There were 3 of us. So comfortable! The house is sectioned off: 2 bedrooms & 1 bathroom on each side of the house separated by the kitchen living & dining area. Perfect! 2 of the bedrooms had split acs that worked great; we were very comfortable. Lots of towels, and pool towels were provided. Anything we needed we had access to. The king beds, pillows & bedding were super comfortable. They had many extra amenities: coffee & a wide selection of teas. Plenty of pots, pans, can opener, blender & seasonings to cook. A previous renter (or owner) left us frozen cans of limeade & lemonade in the freezer which was perfect to blend up with my tequila on these hot days (thank you!)! I left a few for the next group ;) If we find our way back in Fredricksburg we will definitely return to this house & will highly recommend to friends & family. The backyard outdoor area was great for unwinding. There is also an enclosed back porch full of windows; we had the windows open the entire trip and ate breakfast at the dining table in that area; it was so nice. We were there for 4 nights/5 days. We worked with Jason with Evolve and he was awesome. It was such a great stay we tried to book an extra night but someone best us to the booking! Next time! It is a wonderful house to enjoy inside or outside with a small group. Can't wait to return!
