*Great Location* 1 Block to Main Hot Tub and Fire Pit Historic Pioneer Haus

This historic Pioneer Haus was built in 1848 and was one of the first homes constructed of natural resources in the budding town of Fredericksburg by the Kneese family who had recently immigrated from Germany. The main living area maintains the rustic charm of the wood and plaster walls that have withstood the test of 175 years. An early meeting place of the Methodist Church, the home has seen several additions and hosted many notables over the years of use. This is more than just a place to stay, it is immersing yourself in the history of Fredericksburg and the pioneers who settled this land. Admire the craftsmanship of the hand hewn timber, stones and square nails. Step out the front door and watch the heart of the city pass by. Easily walk to shops, parks, churches and restaurants.

Pioneer Haus now features a full kitchen with a functioning vintage reproduction stove with six burners and an oven. A well worn cast metal sink serves current occupants as it did many generations before. Enjoy a meal in the dining room hewn from native Stonewall limestone rock which stays naturally cool in hot Texas summers. Modern amenities also complement the kitchen including a microwave, toaster, an ice maker and your choice of a Keurig or a standard coffee maker. Relax in the private backyard area by soaking in the hot tub, enjoying a fire at the fire pit all while watching the outdoor television.

The home accommodates 7 people with a large primary bedroom featuring a king size bed, a second bedroom with a queen size bed, and a third bedroom with both a queen size bed and a single bed. The primary bathroom has a large walk-in shower and the second bathroom has a tub/shower combination. The home is decorated with period antiques mixed with a clean, modern feel. Pioneer Haus provides all the comforts of modern life such as high speed Wi-fi, cable and streaming TV. The outdoor firepit and grill allow for enjoying the private yard space. The property is directly across the street from the Gillespie County Historical Society and the Pioneer Museum. It is also diagonally across the street from St. Mary's Catholic Church making it very convenient for anyone attending events at either of these popular destinations. The location is very walkable to all of Main Street with a myriad of restaurants, shops and event venues. No need to find parking on busy Main Street, you can park your car on our property and easily walk to most attractions. There is also ample free parking right outside the front door.
