About this property

Tranquil Hill Country Escape: Pet-Friendly, Near Wineries, & Stellar Stargazing!

Escape to Das Fritz Weinhaus, your perfect retreat in the heart of the Texas Hill Country Wine Region! This updated, 1960's-era 3-bedroom, 2-bath ranch home sits on 1.2 spacious acres in the charming, rural community of Stonewall, Texas. It's the ideal getaway for friends or families looking to explore wineries and unwind in a peaceful small-town atmosphere.

Located at the midpoint of the famous Texas 290 Wine Trail between Johnson City and Fredericksburg, you'll find dozens of wineries just minutes away. Beyond the wineries, the area offers something for every taste: sip bourbon at Garrison Brothers Distillery, savor craft beer at Altstadt Brewery, or discover artisanal spirits at Salvation Spirits. And when you're ready to explore, you're just minutes from iconic Hill Country gems like Luckenbach, Wildseed Farms, Fredericksburg Trade Days, Albert Ice House and Dance Hall, and the LBJ Ranch.

History buffs will love knowing that in the 1960s, the property was an occasional hangout of President LBJ himself when visiting its original owners. Combine the charm of historic Stonewall with star-filled night skies, tranquil surroundings, and endless adventures—Das Fritz Weinhaus has it all. Your Hill Country escape awaits!

About the host

Hosted by Jim and Laura Fritz

Host profile image
We're Jim and Laura Fritz, local residents in the Stonewall / Fredericksburg area after living and raising our family in Austin for 23 years. We bought Das Fritz Weinhaus in 2013 and absolutely fell in love with the Texas Hill Country, so much so that 2 years ago we made this area our permanent home. We love the beautiful scenery, the amazing Texas wine, live music, great food, and warm friendly people we find in the Hill Country. Because we live locally, we can offer insights and suggestions about dining, wineries, and activities you might enjoy.

Why they chose this property

This home was built by Jim's Aunt and Uncle in the late 1960's. Jim lived across the street for a few years, and looks back on that time in Stonewall as one of the happiest periods of his childhood. We had been looking for property in the area when this came available, so we knew it was fate that it should come back to the family.

What makes this property unique

We absolutely love touring the wineries along 290, and Stonewall is a perfect launching point for all of them. Being halfway between Fredericksburg and Johnson City means easy access to both towns and everything in between. And when you get home in the evening, you get a beautiful sunset, a sky full of stars, peace, quiet and privacy.
