Enjoy a wine lovers' vacation full of ease and relaxation when you stay at this Fredericksburg cottage, a beautiful sun-lit property that offers a private outdoor deck and an enviable location among the tasting rooms and vineyards of the Texas Hill Country.

This single-level retreat is ideally located less than half a mile from Grape Creek Vineyards, 4.0 Cellars, and Mandelbaum Cellars; 10 miles from the shops and restaurants of the Fredericksburg National Historic District; and nine miles from Lyndon B. Johnson State Park and Historic Site.

Step inside the living room to find high ceilings, central heating and air-conditioning, and an artful blend of German- and Italian-inspired decor. Take a seat on the plush leather sofa as you browse the WiFi, or enjoy a cozy night in with your loved one as you watch the cable TV.

Begin each morning with a light breakfast and a freshly brewed pot of coffee on the wet bar, which also features a sink, a microwave, and small refrigerator for happy hour snacks and beverages. There is no kitchen in the Messina Cabin, but you'll find a wonderful Tuscan-inspired café at Grape Creek Vineyards just down the road.

After a day of wine tasting, hiking, or enjoying the nearby historic sites, step outside on your private deck to enjoy sunset views of the Texas Hill Country.

The bedroom features exposed beam ceilings and a luxurious canopy bed.

Wine lovers will delight in a stay at this beautiful cottage, especially with the Messina Hof tasting room just a few steps away. Guests in town for wine tours will also find many other local wineries within a short walk or drive!

Care to venture outdoors for the day? Take an unforgettable hike in Enchanted Rock State Natural Area 27 miles north, stop by the seasonal farmers market in Fredericksburg's Marktplatz Kinderhalle, or explore some of the 80 sites of interest in the Fredericksburg National Historic District.

If you're looking for romance, comfort, and some of the best wines in Texas, this fantastic Fredericksburg cottage is the escape for you!

THINGS TO KNOW
Children under the age of 12 are not allowed at this property due to safety hazards associated with this being a winery and tours are provided daily.
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.

Nice little escape...

Did a quick mid-week getaway, and the cottage was perfect for us! The cottage was quiet, cozy, private and extremely nice. We did not partake in the winery, but that will be on the list for the next trip. Cannot recommend this place enough.

Weekend wine-down!!

Very nice cottage located on the property of Messina Hof winery. Cozy and quiet. These cottages are nestled between town and other wineries so the location is perfect. We will definitely return.

Was a great experience

I had some gift cards that I have been needing to use. Finally booked the room. We were very happy with the room. We stayed in the Messina room. What a lovely experience! We were pleasantly surprised with some complimentary treats they left in the room for us. A bottle of champaign most importantly. The room was great, roomy, clean and lovely. You are farther from town so you have to drive everywhere vs walk but it is so very peaceful at night sitting on the back patio (or front). We never made it to the tasting room or to have a meal at Messina Hof but plan to return for sure. Book the cabin!!

Comfy and Quiet

The cabin is so cute and it has plenty of space. The bed was incredibly comfortable and big. We could not hear any noise inside our place and it was far enough away from the winery and street. The backyard area is very secluded but you can see your other neighbors. There was not any sparkling wine or snacks when we arrived but about 15 min later, someone was at our door with muffins and juice and sparkling wine. We didn’t even ask for it so that was really nice. We will stay here over and over again. We have nothing but good memories from our stay.

Don’t stay during a holiday

Absolutely horrible experience. We arrived on thanksgiving evening and there was only one towel. No wash cloths, no drinks for the “breakfast”. Called multiple times over the next two days and all our issues were never remedied. We had a list of things that were missing from the home and got the run around when we called. Bed and breakfast is not a good description since there was not really any breakfast items and absolutely no drinks. Description said free welcome champagne and that also never arrived. They instructed us to get it from the desk at check out. Check out is 10am and the winery doesn’t open until 12p. So we are supposed to wait for 2 hours? Ceiling fan was super noisy. House was clean. If you plan on booking bring towels and wine glasses and don’t expect to have anyone respond to any requests. The sign in the bathroom says reach out by 10am if you need anything refreshed in the home including breakfast items. Don’t waste your time cause no one is coming.

Charming Cabin/Perfect Location

This was the perfect place to stay on a very busy weekend in Fredericksburg!! Just far enough from town to be quiet and relaxing yet right in the middle of the wine trail.The staff at the winery is very welcoming and their wines are very good! You can enjoy a glass or two of wine at Messina Hof and then walk to the cabin. The cabins are behind the winery so away from highway traffic and parking in the front. There is convenient parking for cabin guest right in from of the cabins. Very quiet and peaceful with a small porch outback to enjoy coffee and nature. Loved everything about our stay!

Private & Away

So this place is great for anyone looking to be away from town and have privacy. The bed was comfortable and there were plenty of pillows. The bathroom was nice and plenty of space and water pressure in the shower. The snacks in the room were a nice touch as well. Just a heads up though, it is not a bed and breakfast. There is no breakfast served at this location (they do have some juice in the fridge and have random pastries they can bring you if you desire. We weren't looking for that so it worked out anyway...but it would have set this place apart and probably given them 5 stars if they had some sort of hot breakfast option. Again, this is country living, so if you aren't up for the 15 minute drive into town...don't stay here. Otherwise, it's a great place!
