Notes
- Creek Haus is constructed from Hill Country limestone, nestled in a setting like no other in town, just far enough from Main Street and the Historic District to avoid the crowds, yet only a short walk away. Baron's Creek, the backyard view, is a year round stream that bubbles out of the Hickory aquifer 7 miles north of town. This Creek is the very reason Native Americans settled here, long before German Immigrants arrived. Historians claim the treaty between Fredericksburg's founding fathers and the Indian tribes living in the area, was the only treaty in the U.S. to have never been broken! Enjoy your intown lodging and country serenity while sipping a glass of wine and watching deer meander along the creek.

Why Bill and Susan O'Bryant chose Fredericksburg
Having previously owned property in Fredericksburg, we quickly discovered the benefits of having a location within easy walking distance of Main Street and the Historic District. Having property on Baron's Creek, watching deer play in the backyard, and bird watching, lends to the enjoyment and feel of country living, while being only a couple of blocks from all the activity! The beautiful tree lined, all weather, flowing creek, gives a feeling of privacy that is rare to find, living in town. Our open floor plan design with multiple windows, helps to bring the "outside in" and to create a natural atmosphere for all to enjoy! Having the privacy of a courtyard pool, completely surrounded by vine covered walls, is also very special!
What makes this House unique
Creek Haus' most unique benefit, is it's special location! Designed and furnished for living comfortability, within an upscale atmosphere, includes a leather sofa and wooden floors, granite, bar-style kitchen counter, where guests may sit with a glass of wine and watch their personal chef prepare a gourmet meal. The Hill Country/Southwest furnishings compliment the area in which we live. . Our home is constructed of Austin stone and even though the architecture is modern, it is a perfect fit for the Hill country. Creek Haus is such a fun house, one may find it hard to leave! Guests will love the privacy the courtyard pool. Spending afternoons swimming, sipping refreshments, lounging poolside or wading in the creek below, are all a part of the Creek Haus experience. Sitting on the terrace, beneath an umbrella or the shade of an oak tree is just one of the many amenities to enjoy!
