Renowned wineries, beer gardens, and authentic German cuisine

A Storied Past:
The central room dates back to 1898, once part of a community garden set aside by the German Emigration Company.
In 1908, the front of the house was expanded, giving it the welcoming facade you see today.
Owned by the Hilker family from 1919 to 1971, the home was lovingly preserved until Miss Frieda, the last heir, passed away.
Relocated from San Antonio Street in 1975, the house began its new chapter as a bed and breakfast in 1977, a tradition that continues to this day.
Book your stay today and experience over a century of Texas hospitality!
