We are three sisters...all crazy creative, home furnishing store owners, (in Fredericksburg and in San Antonio) and designers with a heart to have you have a home away from home...but we want it to be even better than that. We've traveled all over the world, but when we think of YOU coming to vacay in our beloved Freddy, we want your time to be THE BEST!! So we have not only redone, repainted, reimagined and fluffed the amazing bed linens and made the best backyard experience ever, we are thinking of incredibly fun experiences for you right inside "Hicksie". We are offering in home massages, personal wine tastings and yummy dining-in options or even a house concert with our very own willowcitymusic.com. So in case you just need to come to Freddy to regroup or refresh, you can do it all right here at Hicksie. We'll leave the light on. :)

A little bit about our cottage bungalow, Hicksie

Our sweet little mama, Rosa Mae Gammon Hicks, lived and loved in this house for 20 years. Like the Proverbs 31 woman she was, verse 16 says "She considers a field and buys it." Mama bought this little dilapidated house because she wanted to live across the street from our youngest sister Janet and her family ( because she's the favorite, not for the book). Janet's very talented husband, Tom, was the mastermind behind the glorious re do, just as mama wanted it. She would often brag about Tom and say "You should have seen this place before Tom Proch got his hands on it. Do you know Tom? He lives right over there, here's his number, you should call him." She loved this little house and loved filling it with all her found treasures. Every Saturday she was up and off to a new flea market or antique shop. It was a house of cream colored yumminess. Many still remember the many magazines that featured mom's home, Mary Englebreit's Home Companion, Country Living, Country Home, Tyler Beard's book, "Lone Star Living" and HGTV's Country Style. She was often referred to as the Queen of Cream.
Our little 97 year old mama, a child of the depression, would often look around her home with tears in her eyes and say, "Who would have ever thought little Rosie who had no shoes, would live in a house like this." We know she would love the few changes we have made and would be so pleased to share her little jewel of a house with you. Enjoy her little bungalow and thank you for coming.
