Encanto Suites with Private Hot Tub | Secluded
Great place to stay! Had great amenities with the hot tub, fire pit and close to all the shops. Perfect for a getaway, definitely worth it

Luxury+Privacy+Pool+Near Town
My wife and I were celebrating our 20 year anniversary and this place was a perfect get away for our special occasion!

The Silo house
This place is very spiritual new age—if that’s something you like then you’ll love this place. If that’s something that concerns you, you’ll want to find another place to stay. There have to be over 50 crystals around this home and sage. Other than that the house is very unique and decorated well.

Riddle Haus| Block off Main| Sauna| XL Hot Tub
We just stayed one night but we loved the house. There was plenty of room and loved the interesting decor. The riddle was good fun and the location was absolutely perfect right by the pioneer museum. Would definitely recommend!

The Rockwood | Hot Tub | Game Room | Firepit
The Rockwood was absolutely beautiful! The details in this home really took some time. We enjoyed our stay. 3 mins from Main Street but just far enough for peace and quiet.There is other homes on the property that look just as beautiful. We can’t wait to try those our next trip! 10/10 recommend for a romantic getaway.

The Elegant Casa Agave
The location was private and peaceful. it was just down the road from a local restaurant with delicious food. the fire pit and the hot tub helped make the weekend even better!

Farmhouse Hot Tub & Fireplace Min to Town/Wineries
We had a girl’s trip to Fredericksburg and it was the PERFECT space for four of us girls. At first I was concerned because I felt like there weren’t enough pictures compared to other listings. But every picture that is on the listing, matches the house itself. All of the spaces were very clean and up to date. We loved the outdoor space, even though it was too hot for us to enjoy. I’d definitely want to stay here again for our next visit to Fredericksburg!

Das Aframe at Ghost Oak Ranch
We had such a wonderful stay at this charming Airbnb! The space was so nice and cozy - perfect for a Fredericksburg weekend getaway. One of my favorite moments was waking up in the morning and seeing the animals outside - it felt like a peaceful retreat in nature. The entire experience was seamless, and I really appreciated all the thoughtful touches throughout the space. I’ll definitely be back soon! Thank you Laura!!

Leaf Treehouse at The Meadow
I love all of the treehouse properties that Jacob has! This is my third one to stay in and I can’t get enough! True beauty and relaxation, while also being close to town. Can’t say enough good things!

Cozy Cabin
The cozy cabin was the perfect getaway and the landscaping is AMAZING!!! Close enough to Main Street without being ON Main Street. Lots of fun shops, restaurants, and wineries!! My pups also loved their stay; they even got to see deer in the yard behind the cabin. Would definitely stay there again next time I’m in town.

NEW | The Pedernales A-Frame
Had such an amazing stay! The airbnb was so pretty and aesthetically pleasing. It was also super clean and had a lot of amenities. 10/10 would stay here again. Dakota was very responsive and friendly :)

Ranch Retreat, Romantic, Views, Wineries, Wildlife
This was our 4th time to stay, this is and outstanding place with all types of wildlife. Highly recommended, Valery and Keith are awesome hosts!

Chertecho Tree Tower
The tower was very unique and beautiful. It really emphasize natural light and beauty. There's nothing electrical or Internet, so you really get to detach from the world, while still only being 20 minutes away from the hustle and bustle of Fredericksburg, TX.

77 Guesthouse: Contemporary bungalow - come relax!
I cannot say enough nice things about this property! The surroundings were SO peaceful and quiet. My husband and I enjoyed mornings and evenings out on the porch, drinking coffee and listening to the birds. We saw deer outside several times, and the location within Fredericksburg was amazing. The bed was the most comfortable bed I've ever been blessed with while on a trip! The linens were very soft, and the mattress was perfect for us. We really enjoyed our stay, and would absolutely stay here again!

ROAM -Rooftop Hot tub/Close to Main&290 Wine/Views
ROAM was the perfect little getaway for my wife and me. The space was private, peaceful, and beautifully designed—ideal for a relaxing escape. We loved how close it was to downtown and the wineries, making it super convenient to explore the area without spending a lot of time in the car. Whether we were out and about or just unwinding at the property, it was exactly what we needed. Highly recommend for couples looking for a quiet, comfortable place to stay in a great location.

Voted Most Romantic! Peach 1800's Cabin! Stunning!
We enjoyed our stay here! Beautiful surroundings. Definitely felt right at home here. Far away from town to be peaceful but close enough so the drive did not feel like a burden. Will definitely come back.
Family friendly cottages in Fredericksburg

Cedar Lodge at Gruene B&B
Michael went out of his way to accommodate with last minute requests. I appreciate all of his efforts. We can’t wait to be back!

La Grotta at Messina Inn
La Grotta was a beautiful stay. The place looked exactly like the photos. The pool and hot tub were an added amenity that my friends and I loved. If I travel back to Wimberley, I would definitely choose this place to stay again!

The Riley’s Hitchin’ Post
Timothy’s cottage is as cute as the photos. It has exactly what is needed for a nice weekend at Fredericksburg. Super walkable to all the stores and restaurants in the area. I had the pleasure of meeting his mom before leaving, which made the experience feel even more homey and special. Definetely coming back!

5 Blocks from Main St! Hot tub/Firepit/EV Charging
It started out a bit rough with A/C issues, but they were extremely quick to be helpful and make things right. They continued to communicate next steps. Great location, very clean, enough room and would definitely stay there again. The outside area is perfect for this time of year! Everyone had a great time.

Emerald Gem in the Texas Hill Country Canyon Lake
Silvio’s place was really awesome! We were visiting for a BMT graduation & being able to stay around the lake & make the ~1 hour commute to Lackland was worth it. The lake has lots to do around it & landscape is breathtaking. Silvio gave us a huge, detailed list of recommendations as well, which we were really thankful for! Very clean & felt right at home. Check-in was super easy. This spot is convenient if you are interested in both San Antonio & Austin, as it is a perfect halfway point between the two. Also, the beds were SO comfortable! If we return to this area of Texas again, we will definitely be booking Silvio’s place!

Duck Inn, walk Downtown, fenced yard w/ fire pit.
My wife and I have stayed in several Airbnbs over the years, and this was by far the best experience we’ve ever had. From the moment we booked, Karen went above and beyond to ensure our stay would be exceptional. She was proactive in reaching out with local recommendations and even offered us an early check-in, which was a huge help. When we arrived, there was a thunderstorm rolling in, and Karen checked in on us right away to make sure we made it safely and to let us know she was available if we needed anything. That level of attentiveness and care made a big impression on us. The house itself was beautiful—immaculately clean, thoughtfully set up, and incredibly comfortable. Everything was exactly as described, if not better. It felt more like staying at a high-end boutique hotel than a rental home. We felt completely at ease and appreciated all the small touches that made the space feel warm and welcoming. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay and would absolutely return. Karen

Ramsay's Cozy Cottage/River Access/Tubes /Hot Tub
Two single moms with their little ones stayed here. It was perfect and peaceful! Lots of outdoor times for the kiddos! This place felt very safe and secluded. Mrs Cynthia gave very well written instructions on before, during, and after stay. The river access to us is so much fun and seriously will do this again. One river access that’s near Ramsey B&B is pretty deep so if anyone has small children should probably go to the shallow river access near the cozy cottage at the end of the street. AC is great! I never felt hot in this cozy cottage. The fire pit was fun for the kids roasting some s’mores. All of us loved the hot tub 100%! we both plan to come back another time again! We love it here!

Star House Hill Country Getaway! Relaxation, Views
My mother and I stayed overnight to attend a nearby concert. The place is gorgeous, you really CAN see for miles and miles! The bed was very comfortable. The house was well appointed. Both Kathy and Wayne were very responsive via text, call, and in person. I would definitely recommend and would stay at their property again the next time I'm in Dripping Springs!

Your guide to Fredericksburg
All About Fredericksburg
Fredericksburg is the gem of Texas Hill Country, which is known for its picturesque rolling hills, but also dramatic rock formations, lakes and rivers, and transformative blankets of wildflowers that bloom every spring. Founded by German immigrants, Fredericksburg is proud of its heritage, and is home to a robust brewpub culture and a rollicking three-day-long Oktoberfest. Its charming main street is lined with German signage, historic structures, and wine-tasting rooms fed by surrounding vineyards. The town is also known for a bustling local food scene, and is especially famous for its delicious peaches, first planted by a high school science teacher in 1921.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Fredericksburg
Fredericksburg enjoys warm weather nearly all year long. The winter is mild, with temperatures in the mid-50 degrees Fahrenheit from November to February, and the low 60s in March. During summer, the temperature can spike into the 100s, but typically hovers in the upper 70s and low 80s. April through May and September through October offer balmy temperatures in the high 60s through low 80s. It’s not uncommon to get caught in a rain shower, especially from April through June, so it’s a good idea to pack an umbrella.
Top things to do in Fredericksburg
National Historic District
You can’t throw a bratwurst without hitting a historic building in Fredericksburg. The town’s historic district encompasses 40 blocks of architecturally significant structures, many made in classic Germanic timber framing style, with heavy posts and beams and whitewashed limestone. The Pioneer Museum, operated by the local historical society, offers a two-hour evening walking tour for a fee, or you can simply stroll along Main Street, which is lined with lovingly cared-for examples of 19th-century architecture.
Enchanted Rock State Natural Area
The star of this park, located 17 miles from downtown Fredericksburg, is its namesake, a 425-foot-high pink granite dome that towers over the landscape like a giant piece of cotton candy. A steep climb to the top rewards hikers with jaw-dropping views. Enchanted Rock is also an International Dark Sky Park, where you can spot the Milky Way on inky-black nights.
Wild Seed Farms
Texas Hill Country is famous for its annual explosion of wildflower blooms, and Fredericksburg is home to the nation’s largest wildflower farm. Visitors to Wild Seed Farm can traverse trails in the more than 200 acres of flower fields — which include vibrant red corn poppies, bobbing sunflowers, and bright azure Texas bluebonnets — which bloom March through October. Admission is free, although you will probably be tempted to open your wallet at the Brewbonnet Biergarten, or spring for a glass of wine made from grapes grown on site.
