About this property

Francesca's | Country Cabin Close to Wineries

*No fires of any kind outside. Failure to comply will result in a $200 fine.*

Located only a few miles from town, this log cabin dates back 150 years. Built by your host's great grandfather, the log cabin was recently moved to its new home from the family home-place just a half mile away. The original log cabin is small… a fachwerk addition was added during the restoration. A German style wire fence and gate border the house and yard along with a windmill to create a feeling of days-gone-by.

The wrap around porch begins at the front of the house and goes around to the back overlooking fields and pastures. Inside the living room is the original log cabin. A comfortable leather sofa and chair along with an array of antiques are found. Watch your head as you enter the kitchen through the original log cabin door leading into the kitchen. Stained etched cement floors are found throughout the house. The kitchen provides a coffee bar with a sink, microwave, small refrigerator and coffeemaker.

The distinctive bathroom has rustic cabinets with a leaf print designed sink. Unique green tiles top the countertop and line the large shower. Interesting features include rope used as molding to join the walls and ceiling and designs of trees and animals on the cabinets and woodwork.

A vaulted ceiling with natural woods showcases the magnificent handcrafted, iron king-size bed. From the bed, the airy room faces the whirlpool tub in the adjacent room. The whirlpool tub is trimmed in limestone and has a majestic framed mirror on the wall overlooking it. Rock floors have a wet, shiny look creating a wonderful glow. Providing a view of the woods and a seasonal creek is a glass door that opens outside onto the back porch.

Please Note: You are renting a cabin in the Hill Country which means you may encounter wildlife (Snakes, Deer, Racoons, ETC). Please be aware of your surroundings, and take caution while driving at night. You may also encounter the various bugs, spiders, scorpions and mice that live in the country AND sometimes do make their way inside. All properties do utilize pest control services on a regular basis BUT this does not guarantee no pests or bugs will be visible.

Very clean and quiet B&B. Everything is there for your stay. We watched the deer from the back door inside on cold mornings. We will return here with each visit. This was our 2nd stay at Francesca's. The history behind the house is amazing. Thank You very much for making your place a happy place for me.

So Relaxing!!!

This beautiful home has so much history. It was very clean. The bathtub is amazing and so romantic!!! We enjoyed the front row seats to all the wildlife that came up to the fence to eat the corn that was spread on the ground. We live in the country so we enjoy the wildlife. We will be definitely be back as soon as we can.

hello, you couldn't ask

hello, you couldn't ask for a better weekend/holiday getaway...tucked away in the sloping fields outside fredricksburg....Christmas decorations set the tone along with its quaint charm that everyone looks for in a primitive cabin with modern convenience...we couldn't have asked for a better place to have a great weekend hideout....it was perfect...

Might be time for change

We have stayed at Francesca's about 50 times over the last 13 years. We wish they still provided 1 fireplace log for each night of the stay. We do not approve of the added fee for potential damage. I know that is not peculiar for Francesca's but is very insulting to most of us honest tenants. We have used Gastehaus Schmidt since 1996. To be treated this way is wrong and we are considering other accommodations if we return.

Perfect Retreat

This is a wonderful escape from the hustle-bustle of daily life! Everything was as described and we couldn't ask for anything more. Sitting on the porch while it rained was so relaxing.Sadly, it was during nearby flooding and we were worried about all the people whose lives were affected...

Wife's birthday

We choose this place since it was close to Becker Vineyard. My wife's favorite. We loved it. Small and cozy, but not too small. All furniture was COMFORTABLE! It was quite and clean. It is about 15-20 minutes into town, but so worth it! We will stay here again 100%. Even had deer in the yard. We have rented many places in Fredericksburg, this has been our favorite.
