About this property

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. 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.

Each weekend there is some type of festival (car shows, crafts, and many others).

We had a wonderful stay. This property works well for our family. Plenty of room to play games and lots of wildlife to see. Always clean and well stocked. We’ll come again when we’re in the area.
Das Enchanted Rock Haus was the perfect place to host a brunch after proposing to my fiance at enchanted rock! The house is spacious and the property is very beautiful and well-kept. We loved knowing that we were staying in a place with so much history. The proximity to enchanted rock was also a nice bonus. We will definitely be returning as we made so many great memories there this weekend!
A beautiful Hill Country retreat with plenty of open space and very close to Enchanted Rock. My daughter was hoping to see deer and she was not disappointed. The wifi is a spotty in some parts of the house due to the thick lime stone walls but there is good service in the living room. I personally found this to be a plus since it helped keep me off my device. Kitchen is very nice with a gas stove.
We had a wonderful stay! The home was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. It was well-equipped, in a great location, and made our trip relaxing and enjoyable. The host was friendly, responsive, and easy to work with. We’d definitely stay here again and would happily recommend it to anyone visiting the area. Thanks Again!
Absolutely amazing hill country property. Great communication from the host, the place was clean, the space inside and out were perfect, and the countryside is beautiful. Would definitely stay here again.

Thanks for taking the time to review your experience. We are happy you enjoyed it, and we hope you choose us again.
The property was clean, and the host was communicative. There was a booklet of nearby activities which helped us pick a few places to have food. I'm glad there was a fire pit because we ended up making s'mores. The only thing that was an issue was the WiFi connection, which was difficult to use. The phone signal was dependent on your carrier.
We really enjoyed this place. It was very roomy and loved the upstairs bedrooms with bathrooms. Also the country setting was great for our family. Would definitely stay here again!
We stayed one night for my 28th birthday and it was great! Only 15-18 minutes from Main Street and the house was clean and big enough for 7 people to hang.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this house! It offered everything we needed, was spacious for our family, and offered serenity to relax and unwind while still be close to everything Fredericksburg has to offered. Will be staying there again!
Great place to stay with plenty of room for a bigger group. Not to far from town and beautiful views on the property

About the host
Hosted by Mark Hughes
Mark and Koreen owns about a 500 acre ranch close by. Originally purchased by her mother and father in the 1970's as a place to hunt and eventually retire.
We received this property in 2012 and rented it out for a couple years. When the renters moved out we decided to remodel the original house and add a more comfortable addition.
The original house served as ranch homestead from 1900 to about 1995.
Our intention is for the house to provide comfort, privacy, relaxation, and easy access to Enchanted Rock and Fredericksburg.
Why they chose this property
We recognized the potential of the house and wanted to share it with others.
What makes this property unique
Uniquely situation with easy access to both Fredericksburg and Enchanted Rock State Park.
