About this property

Herber Haus, Historic Luxury • Walk to Main • Game Room

Welcome to Herber Haus, one of Fredericksburg's premier luxury vacation homes, where timeless Texas Hill Country charm meets refined modern comfort. Originally built in 1905 and meticulously restored and with Hill Country luxury addition by renowned Laughlin Homes, this exceptional residence offers over 3,100 square feet of beautifully curated living space just six blocks from Historic Main Street. Rich architectural details, artisan craftsmanship, and sophisticated finishes create an unforgettable setting for family gatherings, wine weekends, couples' retreats, and memorable celebrations.

Designed for entertaining as beautifully as it is for relaxing, the heart of the home is an expansive open-concept great room where the living, dining, and kitchen spaces flow effortlessly together. The chef-inspired kitchen is appointed with granite countertops, premium stainless-steel appliances, custom cabinetry, and an oversized island with seating, making it equally suited for preparing intimate dinners or hosting a private chef. The adjoining dining area comfortably accommodates eight guests, while the elegant front parlor, centered around a gas fireplace, offers a warm and inviting space to unwind with a glass of local wine.

The private primary suite is a true sanctuary. Soaring reclaimed wood ceilings, exposed beams, rich longleaf pine flooring, a dramatic limestone fireplace, and designer finishes create an atmosphere of understated luxury. The spa-inspired ensuite features a spacious walk-in shower, relaxing bubble tub, dual vanities, and a generous walk-in closet—offering a retreat that rivals many boutique hotels.

The home's additional accommodations are equally inviting. A private guest suite features a queen bed and beautifully appointed ensuite bath with a jetted soaking tub and walk-in shower. Two additional king bedrooms offer luxurious bedding and share a thoughtfully designed bath featuring a classic clawfoot soaking tub, blending historic elegance with modern comfort.

Outdoor living is every bit as impressive. Gather around the gas fire pit beneath the Texas stars, enjoy morning coffee from the expansive front porch, or relax within the beautifully landscaped grounds framed by custom-crafted metal fencing that complements the home's historic character.

For entertainment, guests will enjoy the dedicated game garage featuring a pool table, shuffleboard and foosball table, providing the perfect place to gather after a day exploring Fredericksburg's award-winning wineries, acclaimed restaurants, art galleries, and boutique shopping.

Modern conveniences include high-speed Wi-Fi, Spectrum cable, multiple smart televisions in all bedrooms, living areas, and game area, abundant private parking, and every comfort expected of a luxury Hill Country retreat.

About the host

Hosted by Kerinne Herber

Host profile image
Treff, a native of Fredericksburg, and Kerinne, was raised in West, TX. We are both active in the real estate market as Treff is a Broker at CC HErber Co., Real Estate and Kerinne is the SVP of Real Estate for Capital Farm Credit.

Herber Haus holds special significance for us—a property we couldn't part with when we moved to our country place. To ensure it remains accessible to our extended family and friends, and to make it financially viable, we chose to re-enter the short-term rental business. This decision allows us to preserve the home where we raised our children and shared countless memories. Previously, we owned and operated Althaus Suites and Kerinne's Cottage for 12 years before deciding to sell them.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this charming historic home in anticipation of our first child. It needed significant renovation, and we thoroughly enjoyed two major remodels to bring it to its current state. After 21 years and raising five kids here, we've now moved to the country. We've lovingly updated the home with modern amenities and hope you enjoy it as much as we have.

What makes this property unique

Our home is nestled in a quiet neighborhood with friendly neighbors, just 6 blocks from Main Street. We cherished our evening strolls to Main St, whether for a treat at Clear River or to admire the shop windows. Conveniently close to the Nimitz Museum, restaurants, boutique shopping and Marketplatz.

The kids delighted in playing kickball and football in the spacious backyard. While Treff and I cherished relaxing on the patio by the firepit. The front porch was our favorite spot for reading, swaying gently on the swing.
