Omie's Ranch Haus is in the country about ten miles from downtown Fredericksburg, with Hill Country views on every side. Miles of paved country roads surround the property, good for biking and motorcycle riding, and hiking is allowed on the land.
Omie is German for grandma, and this was home to a couple whose family and friends filled it for years. The open floor plan has a living room with couches, four recliners and a gas fireplace under a cedar mantle, and a dining table nearby. Three bedrooms and two and a half baths sleep up to eight, with a full-size sleeper sofa among the beds. Two of the bedrooms have their own doors to the porch. The kitchen has a refrigerator, a stove, a microwave, a dishwasher, a slow cooker, an electric griddle and a Keurig, with coffee and tea provided. Central air and heat, ceiling fans, a washer and dryer, Wi-Fi and a TV with a DVD player and Roku round it out.
A wraparound porch has rockers and a porch swing. Out back, a patio sits under oak trees, and the fire pit, with wood provided, faces the hills. There is a charcoal grill, cornhole, board games and a telescope. A covered two-car carport is beside the house, and two RV hookups have water and electric, 30 and 50 amp, for an added fee.
Early check-in may be available on request. Every stay includes the Texas Hill Country Travel App, a local guide for exploring the area.
WHY WE LIKE IT
What we tell people about Omie's Ranch Haus is to look at the mantle and then walk out back. The mantle was built from a cedar tree, and the stump still stands behind the house with the names of the couple who lived here carved into it. There is a telescope on hand for the night sky. And two RV hookups mean a group can bring a camper along.
