About this property

Francesca's | Country Cabin Close to Wineries

*No fires of any kind outside. Failure to comply will result in a $200 fine.*

Located only a few miles from town, this log cabin dates back 150 years. Built by your host's great grandfather, the log cabin was recently moved to its new home from the family home-place just a half mile away. The original log cabin is small… a fachwerk addition was added during the restoration. A German style wire fence and gate border the house and yard along with a windmill to create a feeling of days-gone-by.

The wrap around porch begins at the front of the house and goes around to the back overlooking fields and pastures. Inside the living room is the original log cabin. A comfortable leather sofa and chair along with an array of antiques are found. Watch your head as you enter the kitchen through the original log cabin door leading into the kitchen. Stained etched cement floors are found throughout the house. The kitchen provides a coffee bar with a sink, microwave, small refrigerator and coffeemaker.

The distinctive bathroom has rustic cabinets with a leaf print designed sink. Unique green tiles top the countertop and line the large shower. Interesting features include rope used as molding to join the walls and ceiling and designs of trees and animals on the cabinets and woodwork.

A vaulted ceiling with natural woods showcases the magnificent handcrafted, iron king-size bed. From the bed, the airy room faces the whirlpool tub in the adjacent room. The whirlpool tub is trimmed in limestone and has a majestic framed mirror on the wall overlooking it. Rock floors have a wet, shiny look creating a wonderful glow. Providing a view of the woods and a seasonal creek is a glass door that opens outside onto the back porch.

Please Note: You are renting a cabin in the Hill Country which means you may encounter wildlife (Snakes, Deer, Racoons, ETC). Please be aware of your surroundings, and take caution while driving at night. You may also encounter the various bugs, spiders, scorpions and mice that live in the country AND sometimes do make their way inside. All properties do utilize pest control services on a regular basis BUT this does not guarantee no pests or bugs will be visible.

Great stay at Francesca's.
We've stayed here several times. We love that it is out of town so very quiet.Checking in is always a breeze at the office. The cabin is always clean and comfortable. Also love that, unlike the one-room cabins, I can go to bed earlier than my hubby and not hear the TV; and he can sleep through me making coffee in the morning.

Enjoyed the stay. The tv had too many remotes never got it to work. This was not a game changer but would have liked to check the weather and news.

Best VRBO in Fredricksburg
I found this little cabin and am so glad I did. It’s perfectly situated not too far from town but far enough out to be able to see all of the stars in the Texas sky.Walking in to the cabin, you’re thrown back to life in the 1800s but with the amenities of today. I couldn’t help but just sit on the leather couch in the living room, what the walls would say if they could talk.The place is perfectly put together. Extremely clean. And a very cozy, romantic get away for a couple.The owners/ mangers were very responsive and willing to assist in any way they can. They helped my with the surprise birthday for my girlfriend.It was such a pleasure in getting to stay here and look forward to the next trip out!

We really enjoyed our stay!
The place was very nice and comfortable. It was a little further out of town than we usually stay but it was peaceful and the bluebonnets in the front yard just added to the charm.

The perfect couples hide away
We were celebrating our 35th wedding anniversary and looking for some place quiet and beautiful. Francesca's was just what we needed. The hosts had everything you could possibly think of to make the weekend special. We will definitely be back.

Perfect Getaway
My husband & I have stayed at Francesca's several times. It's the perfect place to getaway from it all. Perfectly situated near many of our favorite wineries & not too far to go to Fredericksburg for shopping and dining.
