We’re excited to inform you that this unit utilizes a comfortable style of bed-making known as Triple Sheeting. Triple Sheeting is proven to be more hygienic and is used by five-star hotels around the world. It consists of a fitted sheet, a flat sheet, a blanket, and finally a decorative top sheet.
Due to this change, the pictures for this home may not accurately represent the bedding that will appear during your stay. This has not affected any other amenities or the amount of beds available.
Due to the Hill Country location of our rentals, you may encounter situations with wildlife/pests. Please be aware of your surroundings, take caution while driving at night and supervise your children at all times while outdoors. In addition, all properties do utilize pest control maintenance on a regular basis, BUT this does not guarantee pests/bugs/critters will not be visible.

If you are bringing a dog on your trip, the pet fee is already included in your quote when selecting ‘Yes’ to pets. If you would like to add more dogs, please contact us.

Our stay was comfortable other than we had 5 people and the pull out couch had no sheets. We were able to make do with our own blankets. The house is cozy and convenient to shopping and eating. Would stay there again.

Weekend Wine Tasting

We loved this charming well appointed home! The location was perfect. We walked to breakfast, dinner and wine tasting. Comfortable beds and living room furniture. No oven, just a large toaster oven, if that’s important to you. Will definitely stay here again!

Nice 2/2 close-ish to town.

The house is very clean and furnished nicely. It’s a bit of a walk, but doable, depending on your destination and physicality. It’s a 20+ minute walk to Auslander’s (one of our musts when visiting Fredricksburg). It was a nice stay for two couples.

Feels secluded but still right in the midst of the fun!

We loved Durst Haus. It is lovely, well appointed, feels like a secluded get away. However, we were a 3 minute walk from down town! The staff was easy to chat with and quick to respond. Highly recommend!

Perfect Hill Country Home away from home

Beautiful staycation from San Antonio with my elderly parents and my young daughter. Quiet neighborhood, absolutely lovely home with 2 large bedrooms and en suite bathrooms. We brought our 2 small dogs which completed the family. Just 1 block off of Main Street and so close to the lovely Christmas decorations of Fredericksburg! We will be coming back for wine tours in the next few months!
