*Best Location* Haus + Cabin 1 block 2 Main HOT TUB and Firepit EV Charger
The main home is Pioneer Haus which was built on this property in 1848 and was one of the first homes built in the budding town of Fredericksburg by the Kneese family who had recently immigrated from Germany. The main living area maintains the rustic charm of the wood and plaster walls that have withstood the test of 175 years. An early meeting place of the Methodist Church, the home has seen several additions and hosted many notables over the years of use.
It now features a full kitchen with a functioning vintage reproduction stove with six burners and an oven. A well worn cast metal sink serves current occupants as it did many generations before. Enjoy a meal in the dining room hewn from native Stonewall limestone rock which stays naturally cool in hot Texas summers. Modern amenities also complement the kitchen including a microwave, a toaster and a coffee maker.
The haus + the cabin can accommodate 9 people with a large primary bedroom with a king size bed, another bedroom with a queen size bed, and a third bedroom with both a queen size bed and a single bed. The cabin has a queen size bed and an en suite bathroom. The master bathroom has a large walk-in shower and the second bathroom has a tub/shower combination. The home combines period antiques with modern clean elements. Crisp, quality linens make for comfortable sleeping. The ancient wood floors evoke a warmth from past generations. Provided are all the comforts of modern life such as Wi-fi and streaming TVs inside. The outdoor firepit and grill allow for enjoying the private yard space and creating memories with loved ones. The property is directly across the street from the Gillespie County Historical Society Museum and also diagonally across the street from St. Mary's Catholic Church making it very convenient for anyone attending events at either of these popular destinations. The location is very walkable to all of Main Street with a myriad of restaurants, shops and event venues
When rented together, the addition of the Pioneer Cabin increases the number of people accommodated to 9. The cabin in back affords privacy and an additional bathroom while still sharing the property with Pioneer Haus. Both Pioneer Haus and Pioneer Cabin can be rented separately, so please look for our listings for those properties if they would individually suit your needs better than the two properties combined. We recently installed a TESLA Car Charger. Plug in and get a full charge while you sleep.

We were told could check in early but didn't need to since ate a late lunch and did some shopping. Every time I sent question was answered right away. Asked about military discount gave right away.
