About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Terrific getaway to the peaceful countryside.

Full kitchen and dining room, king size beds, fire pit, Prochnow Vineyard and venue next door, very rural location, hike our 135 acres to Titanic point, 4 miles to Enchanted Rock, 2 miles to Contigo Wedding venue, ATV friendly, and 20 minutes to Fredericksburg.

Originally built in 1900, this incredible home is made of white limestone quarried from the nearby hillside by German stone masons. Two lime kilns used to make lime for the mortar are found near the house. Just renovated (2017), this property features new additions that create a lovely balance between its original characteristics and its modern upgrades. It is situated on 145 acres providing a hiking opportunity for guests.

“Das Enchanted Rock Haus” is situated on a grassy Crabapple valley with incredible views of the valley and nearby ranches.

The recent addition has cathedral ceilings featuring a living room with an entertainment area, limestone gas fireplace with a hand-finished mesquite mantel, and upstairs loft. This is the perfect space to gather with loved ones.

In the original home, you'll find a gourmet kitchen, formal dining room, living room, and 5 spacious bedrooms. You'll love the exposed limestone walls and 120 year old long leaf pine floors throughout.

A game room with a Foosball table location in the basement with seating for observers to enjoy the contests.

Each bedroom features a king bed, making it easy for you to relax and unwind in your own private space. Get ready for bed in one of the 4 en-suite bathrooms as you draw yourself a warm bubble bath or take a steamy hot shower! On the first floor, a shared bathroom doubles as a powder room and provides a private walk-in shower for the 5th bedroom. 2 of the rooms have beautiful tile tubs and 3 have large walk-in showers.

In the evening watch from the 2nd story deck as 20-30 whitetail deer forage each evening and listen for the wild turkeys calling to each other. View two llamas and free range chickens that compete with the deer for corn. Wild turkeys and armadillos are often sighted as well.

Guests will spend much of their time around the house (about 1 acre) and will have access to the 135 acres behind the house. They can hike through the valley and follow the pasture road to the mountain top point for a beautiful view of the valley. It is opportunity to see deer, cattle, wild turkeys, armadillos, road runners, and even native lizards. If the guests have 4-wheel drive pickup or SUV with 9 inches or better of clearance, they can drive the hiking trail. The road to the top of the mesa requires 4-wheel drive. A map and instructions are provided upon arrival.

Visit the town of Fredericksburg, just 12 miles away, and get to know the local culture through museums and historical sites. Each weekend there is some type of festival (car shows, crafts, and many others). In August, the Gillespie County Fair is held each summer and hosts a variety of events, including horse racing, bull riding, and much more! Known for its peaches, try a wide variety of peach infused foods, such as jams, ciders, ice cream, and more!

Take a chauffeured tour bus on US 290 to 17 award winning vineyards and wineries, before enjoying 44 wine tasting rooms throughout Fredericksburg, which is best known for their wineries and peaches.

Key Residence Features:
- Amenities include a fully equipped kitchen with pots, pans and skillets, blender, wine glasses, kitchen towels, hot pads, cream and sugar for your coffee and/or tea, tea kettle, air conditioning, central heating, in-unit laundry machines, mud room, wireless internet access, 2 flat-screen 50" Satellite TVs, 4 en-suite bathrooms, thermostat in each bedroom, brooms and a vacuum cleaner, large deck, gas BBQ grill, incredible valley views, and much more
- Fantastic Fredericksburg location! Enjoy easy access to local wildlife, outdoor recreation at Enchanted Rock State Park, downtown, county fairs, and a multitude of wineries.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 5 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 5 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Beautiful hiking vacation!

Our family had a great time at Das Enchanted Rock Haus. The beds were comfortable, AC worked well, and the location was perfect. We enjoyed hiking the property as well. Only minor issue was that wifi was out after the first night. We brought dvds so no problem plus hiked and other things. The property also has a small cottage-Das Enchanted Cottage which was located in front part of property in case anyone was wondering about the layout. Would definitely stay again.

Das Enchanted Rock Haus

Das Enchanted Rock Haus was an excellent choice for our group. The space, amenities, and grounds were fantastic. The full moon rising in the dark star filled night added to the enjoyment the upper outside deck.Tubs as well as showers met the routines of our 10 guests.Also, comfortable seating around the dinning table. Morning walk around the properties perimeter was tranquil and set the stage for a wonderful day. Thank you!

Dream Come True

We booked this property because our daughter was getting married at Enchanted Rock and it was beyond what we could have imagined!!! It was absolutely spotless and stunning inside! We really loved the stone walls and private bedroom suites. Our wedding party felt so spoiled to be able to stay at such a beautiful historic work of art :) The proximity to the park was very instrumental in helping us set up and then come back and get ready. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for sharing your incredible property with us!

Wonderful property!

Our entire family, 2 sons and 5 grandchildren enjoyed everything about Enchanted Rock Haus. It was very comfortable indoors and the hikes up to the bluff overlooking the house were enjoyed by all. We would definitely come back and stay here again. Wish we could have stayed longer.! Praying the property is spared from the wildfire today .

Hill Country Paradise

We were a group of 9 friends and family from all over the USA celebrating a 70th birthday for hiking and wine tasting in the hill country of Texas. This was a perfect place for us, about 15 min from Fredericksburg but remote enough to view wildlife and hike through the amazing hill country ecosystem (without leaving the property). House was clean, elegant and well-stocked. Would go back in a heart beat, perhaps before the 80th birthday, just loved it.

Magical Weekend!

This was our second time to stay at Das Enchanted Haus. It was even more spectacular this time! The house is perfect for our five couples. It's comfortable, peaceful and extremely well kept. We enjoyed cooking in the kitchen, grilling outside and even gathering around the fire pit for a glorious evening under the stars. We will return!

We had 4 couples in the house for a long weekend reunion. The house is wonderful and the property was beautiful. Very quiet, clean and comfortable. We didn’t lack anything. There were 2 gathering places so we had plenty of room to sit and visit. Having bedrooms with all king beds and en suite baths was a huge plus. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again. The owner was very responsive and easy to work with.
