White Dairy Guesthouse

Become part of the rich history of this four-bedroom Fredericksburg farmhouse, a spacious, century-old home with front and back porches for gatherings of family and friends in the heart of the Texas Wine Country.

Built in 1910 and farmed by the same family for three generations, this house sits on a two-acre plot surrounded by 38 acres overlooking the iconic Texas Hill Country Hilltop. You'll be within minutes of Grape Creek Vineyards and other popular winemakers on the Highway 290 Wine Trail, and just seven miles from the heart of downtown Fredericksburg.

Designated by the state of Texas as a Family Land Heritage Site, this two-level home has a long, storied history of hospitality. As a former boarding house in the 1920s, it has since been entirely updated - offering large rooms, an abundance of sunlight, and 3,000 square feet of living space for family get-togethers, getaways with special friends, and business or church retreats.

Step inside to find two living areas with beautiful hardwood floors, vintage furnishings, and air conditioning to keep you cool in the summer. Come home from a day of wine-tasting to recline on the wicker sofa with a good book, set up a puzzle or a game of dominoes at the table, and use the CD stereo system to create a relaxing vacation soundtrack. And stay in touch with folks back home with the free WiFi and enjoy the TV, which comes with DVD/VHS players.

The kitchen is modern and elegant, offering pristine white cabinets and stainless steel appliances that include a gas range and a dishwasher. Read the morning paper in the sun-filled breakfast room or catch up with your loved ones around the table in the formal dining room.

Over the years, this home was known for its vibrant dairy operation, its prize-winning chickens, and its verdant gardens, and there's no better place to survey the landscape than from one of the porches. Watch the sunset from a seat on the swing or one of the rocking chairs, light the charcoal grill for an evening barbecue, or set up the folding table for a friendly game of poker.

With four bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms, White Dairy Guesthouse can accommodate as many as 10 guests, and up to two dogs are also welcome for an additional nightly pet fee. You'll find one bedroom with a king-size bed, two bedrooms with a queen-size bed apiece, and one bedroom with a double bed that connects to the “sunrise porch” and offers a pair of twin beds. There's even a private laundry room to refresh your wardrobe after long walks through downtown Fredericksburg.

Your children will likely want to follow the model of the 1920s and gather their sleeping bags on the large enclosed porch. Without the distractions of TV, they'll spend hours reconnecting and telling stories until dawn.

Thanks to its fascinating history and wonderful location just outside downtown Fredericksburg, White Dairy Guesthouse will give you an authentic glimpse of life in Texas Hill Country. Immerse yourself in your surroundings as you spend your days tasting the wonderful wines at Messina Hof, Grape Creek Vineyards, and 4.0 Cellars, all of which are less than four miles east.

Head into downtown Fredericksburg to see more than 80 points of interest in the National Historic District, or pick up some local produce at the seasonal farmers market. Luckenbach Texas' funky post office, general store, and iconic country dance hall are located just six miles south. And you'll be just 10 miles west of Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park, the place where the 36th president was born, lived, and is now buried.

Come and add your family's story to this beautiful Texas farmhouse - book your stay at this Fredericksburg home today!

Beautiful Farm House
A beautifully renovated farm home with lots of comfort and room for multiple families or friends. We love the country so staying here was peaceful and relaxing. The landscape and friendly cows was an extra added plus! Away from town, which we enjoy but close enough to Luckenbach or Fredericksburg.

Great Large Group House
The house was cool when we arrived- thank goodness! The house had a great rustic feel. We had no issues except that the porch where one person slept was a bit warm all day, but it cooled off in the evening. There were a couple of lights that didn’t work, but we do intend to return! It was a great house for a large group. Thanks!!!

Family staying at the White Dairy Farmhouse
Our stay at the White Dairy Farmhouse exceeded our expectations. The house is very roomy and extra clean. It is close to Luckenbach and Fredericksburg’s Main Street - really great location. It reminded us of our grandmother at the farm house - loved it. Just one suggestion is to update the television for more television showchoices.

New Year's Stay
We were very pleased with the house. I think there could have definitely been a little more flexibility with our stay. It definitely needs more linens (blankets) available to the guests. It was very cold while we were there. It is close to town which is nice. We enjoyed the big yard and the firepit. Thank you

Lots of space, great location
The house has tons of charm, plenty of space, and is so close to Fredericksburg and many vineyards. It’s very peaceful and we enjoyed the big yard, fire pit and porches. The beds and linens were lovely and we all slept well (five adults and three teens). The two teen boys lives the two twin beds on the enclosed porch. Plenty of bathrooms too. The oven broke and a new one was not able to be delivered before our stay. We were alerted the day before and had to replan meals. We were offered $150 off. The house is very clean inside, but if you have someone in your group uncomfortable with bugs, I’d think twice. The yard was hopping with grasshoppers/crickets, spiders (mostly daddy long legs), ants, and cicadas. We also saw a scorpion in the house (son killed it). We enjoyed our stay.

Nice weekend
Beautiful old farmhouse! House was very clean and spacious. We had 3 couples staying, but there was plenty more room for additional people/kids. No central a/c (listed as "partial"), but the wall units kept us comfortably cool in the summer heat. Very near Hwy 290 and the fast cars, but only minimal road noise. The windmill was a very good landmark to help us find the house back daily - and close to lots of wineries - away from downtown crowds.

Wonderful location for wineries and Luchenbach
We spent two nights and loved the cleanliness and bedding! Also enjoyed the firepit and the pretty cattle across the back fence. The interior is as spotless as shown in the pictures. Would echo the other reviewers that the waterflow from the showers is quite weak. We found the A/c units easy to use as each room has its own. The location worked out great for us. Close to Alstadt, Signor, and Luchjenbach. Easy drive into Fredericksburg too, Would definitely return!

The ultimate farmhouse experience!
If you are looking for a unique property that has a ton of character and provides all the amenities you will need in beautiful Fredericksburg. A group of family and friends get together and it was the perfect place for being together but having some private space as well. Beds were super comfy and the porches are a peaceful place to relax. The best location located across from Alstadt brewery and wind seed farms. The entrance could be better with an electronic gate and maybe a turning lane but certainly a beautiful stay.

Family Gathering
This farmhouse was very comfortable with great beds, plenty of seating , nice porches. There was plenty of room for children to run around and not break anything. The location was good, easy to get into Fredericksburg. A few minor issues.....low , low, low water pressure in all the bathrooms, but plenty of hot water! The entrance needs lighting to be seen at night....it’s easy to miss, as several of us did coming back to the house at night. And we could not, any of us figure out the ac/heating system...and it got very warm, and the system was on “heat” mode....true the weather was all over the place and we needed to be able to adjust it. Overall a great weekend stay!

Clean and convenient
This house is a perfect location. Seconds from several wineries and breweries. Shopping is just up the main road of downtown. My family and I had a fabulous time hosting my mother’s 70th Birthday. This house was perfect for entertainment inside and out. Front porch was a great place to hangout on and enjoyed the cool spring days.
