About this property

House in Black | Pool, hot tub + fire pit

  • A black-clad cottage on a quiet street, built for groups - the fenced backyard has a wading pool, a hot tub, a fire pit and an outdoor dining table. Four bedrooms sleep twelve on a king and five queens, with two more beds in the converted shed out back. Fifteen minutes on foot to Main Street, ten by car to the wineries on 290.

    "Haus In Schwarz" is German for House in Black, named after an art installation by Eric Sturm. The layout is open-concept and built for entertaining - bachelorette weekends and multi-family gatherings are what it does best.

    About the pool: it's a rock-and-concrete wading pool, not a tiled swimming pool. Shallow, built for cooling off with a drink in hand rather than doing laps. We clean it and check the pH between every stay. Because of the natural lining, expect a little sand or algae around the edges - that's the finish, not a maintenance problem.

    Additional parking is available in the back alley behind the house. The storage shed stays locked.

Perfect Girls Trip!

This place was everything we needed for our girls trip. The house was as charming, cozy and welcoming as we expected based on the pictures. The extra beds out in the shed were a nice bonus, but we still chose to share the 4 beds inside the house amongst 8 of us and it was still very comfortable for everyone. Location was amazing because we were literally 5 minutes away from everything we wanted to visit. I would totally book this house again in the future!

Bachelorette Weekend

We had an amazing bachelorette weekend at Haus In Schwarz! The house is decorated beautifully and perfect for a large group to stay comfortably. The backyard is a great hang out spot with the wading pool & hot tub! My only suggestion is that if you plan to cook at the house, plan to bring the extra cooking utensils/seasoning. Dakota was quick, responsive and super helpful :) highly recommend staying here on your next visit to Fredericksburg!

Nice House, Good Location but Some Issues

We stayed here for an extended weekend as a family of 10 and had a great time. The house is very cute and the backyard is really nice but there were some issues with our stay... We did not receive check-in information (keypad combo, Wi-Fi password, etc.) from the host prior to arriving but when we reached out there was a quick response. The electronic lock on the front door did not work for us, so thankfully there was a backup key we could use. It looked like none of the kitchen items (pots, pans, plates, etc.) were washed (caked-on food, lipstick marks, etc) and we couldn't get the dishwasher to work consistently. We appreciated that the stove had directions on how to use it because we would have never figured it out. There is no real way to lock the separate building unless you are inside of it. This was a huge inconvenience as our guests did not feel comfortable leaving their belongings in the room while we were gone all day. The front yard needs some work. There is a very large dead tree with branches hanging down at eye level. This is very dangerous and we had 3 people almost take out an eye at night. The neighbors clearly do not like that this is a short-term rental. The neighbor across the street has no parking signs up and the neighbor next door complained about us being in the backyard and quickly went inside.

I booked this property to have my brother's bachelor party and had a fantastic time. The property was everything we needed/wanted and provided the makings of a fun trip. We especially liked the back yard with the hot tub and the pool! The property was very clean and well put together. The owner was also wonderful and very communicative when I had any questions or comments. The surrounding area was really nice, especially Enchanted Rock and the wineries/restaurants in Fredericksburg. I highly recommend this property to anyone wanting a quiet, comfy, and fun homebase for exploring the Texas Hill Country!

Extremely easy check in and check out process. Communications with owners was prompt and very helpful. Spacious home with an beautiful backyard, the hot tub was a weekend favorite. The location was close to downtown and only a few minutes from the wineries. I will be back the next time we visit!

Overall Nice Property!

We were looking for a property with a pool close to main st (this one isn’t walkable in the heat but a short drive to the shops). Plenty of space for the 6 of us but the house sleeps up to 12. Updated bathrooms and super comfy beds. The backyard is much larger than we expected and was perfect for us to hang out in.

Cute house

It’s much smaller than it looks in pictures, and the front yard and exterior of the house need some work- there were branches all over the yard and a shutter falling off one of the outside windows. The inside was really cute and comfortable, it’s an older house that’s been updated and has a fun aesthetic. We really enjoyed the hot tub and the fun back yard set up.

We enjoyed our stay with our adult children and their significant others. One is married and one is engaged, which is why we booked a 4 bedroom home. It is not advertised that the 4 bedroom is not attached to the home without easy access to a bathroom. This was an inconvenience. Other than that everything was as advertised and comfortable.

Just what we needed!

The front (outside) of the house doesn't do it justice! The inside is modern, updated, and well decorated. There was plenty of room for all of us, including a separate outside "cabin." We loved sitting outside by the pool (and listening to the waterfall). Plenty of cornhole was played! The strings of lights added just the right atmosphere!
