Messina Hof Hill Country - Hof Haus

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Treat yourself to old world charm in the heart of Texas Hill Country when you stay at this Fredericksburg cottage, a wonderful wine lovers' retreat within easy walking distance of wineries, vineyards, and tasting rooms!

This lovely and well-appointed cabin is one of four private suites at Messina Hof Hill Country, a small complex that sits just 10 miles from downtown Fredericksburg. These upscale cottages, which are steps from the Messina Hof tasting room, can be rented individually or all together, offering fantastic accommodations for groups of all sizes.

This single-level property is nine miles from Lyndon B. Johnson State Park and Historic Site, and only 27 miles from the scenic landscapes of Enchanted Rock State Natural Area.

The spacious interior is filled with German-inspired decor and century-old antiques, creating a living space full of history and comfort. Take a break from the summer sun in the air conditioned living room, use the WiFi to make dinner reservations, or watch your favorite show on the cable TV.

You'll have a convenient wet bar with a coffee maker, a sink, a microwave, and a small refrigerator for storing wine, happy hour snacks, and your scrumptious dinner leftovers. Though there is no full kitchen, its absence will allow you to make the most of Fredericksburg's vibrant dining scene.

Spend an afternoon sampling Messina Hof wines in the nearby tasting room, and bring back a bottle to enjoy on the private back deck.

With one beautiful bedroom that opens onto the patio, the Hof Haus can accommodate as many as two guests during your Texas Hill Country vacation. Sleep in comfort on the plush king-size bed, and enjoy a lovely full bathroom with a walk-in shower.

Whether you're looking to experience the great outdoors or planning a weekend of scenic wine tasting, you'll have access to it all in and around Fredericksburg. Stroll through the charming downtown to experience dozens of historic sites, peruse the many shops and restaurants, or pick up some tasty picnic fixings at the seasonal farmers market.

You'll also be just a short drive from Enchanted Rock State Natural Area, which is beloved among hikers and rock climbers for its far-reaching views and beautiful trails.

This relaxing wine country vacation can be all yours - book this wonderful Fredericksburg cottage today!

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.

1 night getaway

We spent the day wine tasting and ended our day here, we had planned ahead and booked, which was painless and reasonable. We closed the winery down! We joined the wine club it was so good! After we were done, we walked across the parking lot and got into the cabin very quickly! I was very pleasantly surprised with the accommodations! The bed was comfortable, the shower was strong and hot! The complimentary muffins, champagne and orange juice was the biggest and best surprise! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We definitely will be back, quite often since we joined the wine club!

Good location!

The cabin was very peaceful and wine was within walking distance. King size bed was comfy and shower pressure felt wonderful after a good day outdoors. No streaming or Netflix but who needs it really!

Weekend in Fredricksburg

We loved the location and small house set up. The rooms smelled a little musty when we arrived and had to open up all the windows. Other than that the stay was great.

Perfect getaway

Loved the cottage for a bunch of reasons. It was off the highway so it was quiet. It was separate from other dwellings and it was very spacious. The location put you close enough to downtown where it was about a ten minute drive, but far enough away to avoid crowds if you choose to do so.

Nice place to stay.

We had a great time. It was centrally located to many of the wineries. It was clean and spacious and had everything needed for a few day stay in hill country.

Quaint Cottage

I wish it was a true b&b. Plus, I wish we had known that the Hill Country Messina Hof didn't have a restaurant. I don't think there was a distinction between the locations with or without restaurants. We did have the deluxe cheeses when we did the wine tasting but being able to get an actual meal would have made a difference. The place was clean and quiet, which was awesome. Awesome shower!!!

Wonderful vacation

The cabin was spacious and very peaceful! Even though it was closer to the highway than we had expected, we still felt isolated and private! We loved watching the deer at Dusk behind the cabins in the trees. The winery was excellent with wonderfully knowledgeable staff! We wish we had spent more time there.

Restful three days

We enjoyed the privacy and space that our cottage offers. The small touches in the cottage made us feel welcomed. From the great bottle of sparkling Rosa to the fluffy pillows was sweet. I missed not be able to utilize the TV. I guess it was not working at the time. We will be visiting annually. GW

Birthday getaway

I wanted to take my wife to a winery B and B in Fredericksburg for her birthday, I couldn’t have made a better choice, The place is very nice! She loved it! When the ladies at VACASA found out that the local florist was unable to deliver birthday flowers to our cabin before our arrival, they wanted to help make sure that her birthday was special. They decorated with birthday banners and delicious cupcakes,! My wife was so happy that she cried ! They helped make her birthday perfect! The ladies at Vacasa are AMAZING!

Just Okay

While I enjoy a good antique, this bedroom furniture was so outdated it made the room smell awful. The old pictures hanging from the lamp of someone’s likely deceased family members make it a little too “personalized” for my taste. During a heavy rain our room took on water and soaked a few of our belongings. We didn’t know the back doors leaked from the porch. The 2 pillows we did have maybe had one feather each in them. So flat and uncomfortable. The complimentary breakfast & snacks looked like the person before us left their Walmart old groceries. The locks and doors were tricky and we never got a complimentary daily refresh. I wouldn’t book this cottage again.

Messina HOF Cottage

Very clean & well stocked. Enjoyed privacy, while still in close proximity to downtown Fredericksburg and other points of interest. Only negative issue was a software update notice blocking bottom portion of tv screen, which could not be removed.

Lovely private retreat

Having the whole building to ourselves felt like we were in a honeymoon suite-though that was 29 years ago! Can’t wait to return once COVID is past, to sample the wines on a weekday & hear the local music. We visited the Messina Hof Bryan location after this one to capture more of their experience. Fabulous!

Beautiful place

The people at Messina Hof were excellent. Along with the reservation we received a free bottle of wine and a free tasting at the winery. The accommodations were perfect for a romantic getaway. If you are not wanting to stay in downtown Fredericksburg this is a great place. It is very peaceful and close to several wineries
