About this house rental

Full kitchen and dining room, king size beds, fire pit, Prochnow Vineyard and venue next door, very rural location, hike our 135 acres to Titanic point, 4 miles to Enchanted Rock, 2 miles to Contigo Wedding venue, ATV/UTV friendly, mountain biking, and 20 minutes to Fredericksburg.

Originally built in 1900, this incredible home is made of white limestone quarried from the nearby hillside by German stone masons. Two lime kilns used to make lime for the mortar are found near the house. Just renovated (2017), this property features new additions that create a lovely balance between its original characteristics and its modern upgrades. It is situated on 145 acres providing a hiking opportunity for guests.

“Das Enchanted Rock Haus” is situated on a grassy Crabapple valley with incredible views of the valley and nearby ranches.

The recent addition has cathedral ceilings featuring a living room with an entertainment area, limestone gas fireplace with a hand-finished mesquite mantel, and upstairs loft. This is the perfect space to gather with loved ones.

In the original home, you'll find a gourmet kitchen, formal dining room, living room, and 5 spacious bedrooms. You'll love the exposed limestone walls and 120 year old long leaf pine floors throughout.

A game room with a Foosball table location in the basement with seating for observers to enjoy the contests.

Each bedroom features a king bed, making it easy for you to relax and unwind in your own private space. Get ready for bed in one of the 4 en-suite bathrooms as you draw yourself a warm bubble bath or take a steamy hot shower! On the first floor, a shared bathroom doubles as a powder room and provides a private walk-in shower for the 5th bedroom. 2 of the rooms have beautiful tile tubs and 3 have large walk-in showers.

In the evening watch from the 2nd story deck as 20-30 whitetail deer forage each evening and listen for the wild turkeys calling to each other. Wild turkeys and armadillos are often sighted as well.

Guests will spend much of their time around the house (about 1 acre) and will have access to the 135 acres behind the house. They can hike through the valley and follow the pasture road to the mountain top point for a beautiful view of the valley. It is opportunity to see deer, cattle, wild turkeys, armadillos, road runners, and even native lizards. If the guests have 4-wheel drive pickup or SUV with 9 inches or better of clearance, they can drive the hiking trail. The road to the top of the mesa requires 4-wheel drive. A map and instructions are provided upon arrival.

Visit the town of Fredericksburg, just 12 miles away, and get to know the local culture through museums and historical sites. Each weekend there is some type of festival (car shows, crafts, and many others). In August, the Gillespie County Fair is held each summer and hosts a variety of events, including horse racing, bull riding, and much more! Known for its peaches, try a wide variety of peach infused foods, such as jams, ciders, ice cream, and more!

Take a chauffeured tour bus on US 290 to 17 award winning vineyards and wineries, before enjoying 44 wine tasting rooms throughout Fredericksburg, which is best known for their wineries and peaches.

This was a very cute property! We were greeted by deer a few times during our stay. The home was clean, comfortable, and roomy. The host was responsive and provided great recommendations prior to our arrival.

Comfy beds and plenty of space for my family. Very peaceful as described. Great kitchen for a nice family breakfast or dinner.

The property was clean, and the host was communicative. There was a booklet of nearby activities which helped us pick a few places to have food. I'm glad there was a fire pit because we ended up making s'mores. The only thing that was an issue was the WiFi connection, which was difficult to use. The phone signal was dependent on your carrier.
