Bab Al Shams | Pet-friendly | Great Backyard

Relax and settle in to this newly renovated modern, ranch style home in the heart of Fredericksburg, TX. Your hosts, Emily and Craig, are an expat couple who have lived across the world for more that 10 years and who love to travel, but who fell in love with the charm of Fredericksburg after visiting and wanting to own slice of Texas. As homage to where they reside, Bab Al Shams translates to “Gateway to the Sun.” Appropriately named, this calming 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom retreat offers a beautifully appointed open concept living space and accommodates up to 6 guests, perfect for a weekend getaway with friends and family. Unwind in the cozy living room, prepare a delicious meal in the well stocked kitchen, or spend time relaxing in the back yard around the fire pit.
