Messina Hof Hill Country: President Cottage

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Indulge your inner history lover when you stay at this elegant Fredericksburg cottage, a wine country retreat that offers beautiful presidential-themed decor, a nearby Messina Hof tasting room, and an unbeatable location along the Highway 290 Wine Trail.

Whether you're a wine enthusiast or a lover of the Texas Hill Country outdoors, you'll enjoy that this cabin is less than half a mile from 4.0 Cellars, Grape Creek Vineyards, and Mandelbaum Cellars; nine miles from Lyndon B. Johnson State Park and Historic Site; and 27 miles from Enchanted Rock State Natural Area.

The living room is lofty and spacious, with tall exposed beam ceilings, rich leather furnishings, and decor that pays tribute to past presidents. Central heating and air-conditioning will help keep you comfortable as you browse the WiFi or relax on the sofa in front of the cable TV.

The wet bar features a sink, a microwave, a gourmet coffee maker, and a small refrigerator, perfect for storing a few bottles of Texas wine. Please take note, however, that there is no kitchen - but you'll hardly need one when you're dining at Otto's and the Cabernet Grill, two of the local favorites.

After a day spent strolling the historic sites, shops, and the seasonal farmers market in downtown Fredericksburg, return home to share forest views and a bottle of wine with your loved one on your very own private deck.

The large bedroom features an abundance of sunlight, polished floors, and a bed with a vine-wrapped canopy. The full bathroom offers a spacious walk-in shower.

In addition to having the Messina Hof tasting room just a few feet away, guests at this wonderful cottage will enjoy easy access to the best of the Texas wine country. Guests interested in wine tours will find numerous other wineries just a short walk or drive away.

You'll also find more than 80 sites of interest in the Fredericksburg National Historic District - as well as delectable bistro dinners at Vaudeville right in town.

Come and experience this wonderful blend of history and beauty in the heart of Texas Hill Country!

THINGS TO KNOW
Housekeeping comes daily to refresh the room.
Children under the age of 12 are not allowed at this property due to safety hazards associated with this being a winery and tours are provided daily.
We’re excited to inform you that this unit utilizes a comfortable style of bed-making known as Triple Sheeting. Triple Sheeting is proven to be more hygienic and is used by five-star hotels around the world. It consists of a fitted sheet, a flat sheet, a blanket, and finally a decorative top sheet. Due to this change, the pictures for this home may not accurately represent the bedding that will appear during your stay. This has not affected any other amenities or the amount of beds available.

Our smart home technology will alert our team if excessive decibel or occupancy levels are detected, allowing us to reach out directly with a reminder of maximum occupancy and quiet hours. This technology is privacy compliant, and only monitors the presence of decibels and devices-not any personal conversation or information. Thank you for supporting our efforts to be good neighbors!

Great property, very clean, really quiet.
We had a wonderful stay, my only suggestions to improve the stay would be extra pillows and better lightning in the bathroom. I have a hard time applying make-up in dim lighting. We will stay at this property again in the future.

Bed was great and comfy, clean and neat
I like the fact that our favorite winery had cabins to stay over in and we enjoyed our night there, listening to the crickets and looking at the night sky while sipping our complementary drinks

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The place is so quiet and quaint. A perfect weekend getaway for couples. The breakfast danish was amazing, and having sparkling wine from Messina Hof and orange juice was another great bonus. We have found our new spot for sure to come stay at on little getaway trips.

Great place to stay
Although the light in the kitchen area was out the stay itself was great! It was very clean and had everything we needed for our one night stay. Will definitely be staying there again in the future.

Steve M. K., Fort Worth

Pleasant but poorly maintained.
Sophisticated and expensive coffeemaker had totally inadequate instructions and the printing had been rubbed off of the buttons. After twenty minutes and two failed attempts to brew coffee, I drove twenty miles to buy some breakfast coffee. Unacceptable.
