MODERN FARMSTEAD WITH PASTURAL, SUNSET VIEWS — ONLY 5 MINUTES TO MAIN STREET!
With charming, modern farmhouses , Outlot 201 Guest Houses offer relaxing hill country views just on the outskirts of town. Nestled in a grove of trees, the guest houses are the perfect place to retreat in a refined, yet relaxed, setting.
Couples love the quiet privacy each house provides, making it the perfect romantic get-away for two. Or, invite your favorite couples for a long weekend— the houses allow the perfect balance to reconnect with friends or family, while also having your own space. Each house has its own indoor and outdoor space all to itself.
The Outlot also makes a perfect retreat for girls trips—offering gorgeous sunset views after a day of shopping and wine tasting.
Smith House at Outlot 201 (unit 3) features two bedrooms, each with a comfy, king size pencil post bed with luxury linens and plenty of cozy pillows. The bedrooms are also equipped with DOHM White Noise Machines, for those who are serious about their sleep! The bathroom is spacious and brightly lit, with a double vanity and large walk-in shower which includes a relaxing rain shower overhead. The bath includes a toilet closet for additional privacy.
Flooded with natural light, you’ll find the separate living area a comfortable place to relax, with a flat screen television and free flowing Wi-Fi. The area also includes a small dining table and well-equipped (armoire) butler's pantry, with a microwave, refrigerator, sink, and electric tea kettle, as well as a coffee maker to brew locally roasted coffees from our friends at Caliche.
Upon arrival, your pantry will be stocked with house made banana nut bread as well as yummy granola, fresh fruit, yogurt, milk, juice and bottled water. You'll also find plenty of coffee and tea on hand.
Out the back door, you'll find a spacious outdoor living space overlooking the pasture, with our horse and sheep grazing in the distance. French doors lead to a charming alcove with a biergarten table that's just perfect for a charcuterie spread, late-night card games or a spirited round of mahjong! Just down the steps sits a clean-burning fire pit surrounded by cozy chairs -- the perfect spot after a long day of shopping or wine tasting!
Smith House has everything you need to make your stay comfortable, including Paya toiletries, a hair dryer, iron and ironing board.
If you're interested in booking more than one house and would like to expedite the booking process, please feel free to contact the owner directly so we can conveniently block the houses for you and arrange for one payment to save you time.

About the host
Hosted by Darla + Mike Smith
We are Mike and Darla Smith, and we live nearby in the property's 50's farm house. Both of our families live in and around Fredericksburg, and we feel incredibly blessed to call this place home! We have four children -- three grown kids and a fun little four year old who has been a champ as we've built these guest houses!
Why they chose this property
Mike bought the property in 1999 from the Pfiester family, who were one of the original German families to settle Fredericksburg. As families arrived to the area in the mid-1800s, the German Emigration Company gave them a "townlot" and an "outlot" (just outside of town) which they could farm. As you've probably guessed, our property was Outlot 201. Mike was lured by the property's tranquil setting and convenient access to town. He also loved that the property was still surrounded by other member's the Pfiester family.
In January 2010, we were married; and that December, we welcomed our young son, Parker (Darla's maiden name). Though Darla had a charming 1920's cottage in town, there was no question that this was going to be our home -- we both loved it so much.
When we decided to add the guest houses, we knew we wanted to celebrate all of the families who've enjoyed living on Outlot 201 through the years. So, each house has been named accordingly -- Pfiester, Smith and Parker!

What makes this property unique
Every day, we feel thankful to live in Fredericksburg. It truly is a charmed life, and we know we are blessed to call this place home. Over the years, we've loved sharing our home with family and friends, largely because the property offers such a pretty pastoral setting. We love how we feel a world away from it all -- yet we can hit the bank, the post office AND pick up a gallon of milk, then be back home in 20 minutes :-)! We felt visitors to the guest houses would really appreciate having the best of both worlds as well -- a quiet, country setting just minutes away from all Fredericksburg has to offer.
