Wine Trail Retreat | Fall Escape | Pool | Hot Tub | Sauna

Welcome to Behrends Family Homestead, a 10-acre retreat in the heart of the Texas Wine Trail. When booked together, the property includes a four-bedroom farmhouse, a one-bedroom cottage, and two studio units, with room for up to 18 guests.



Enjoy the farmhouse kitchen and living room, gather in the covered barn with its hot tub, grill, and outdoor TV, or relax by the fire pit. The property also has a new sauna, hot tubs in select private courtyards, and pool access behind The Oswald.



POOL ACCESS

When all four Behrends Family Homestead homes are booked together, the pool is exclusive to your group. When homes are booked separately, it is shared with guests staying at The Judy, The Oswald, The Melvin, and The Cora.



The property is about 15 minutes from downtown Fredericksburg, close to wineries along the 290 Wine Trail, and about 35 minutes from Enchanted Rock. Blanco, Luckenbach, Wimberley, and Johnson City are within about an hour’s drive. The convenient location along Highway 290 also means some road noise may be heard.



THE SPACE



The four homes offer space for groups to spend time together while still having room to spread out. The main farmhouse has a full kitchen, dining area, game table seating eight, living room with a queen sleeper sofa, Roku TV and fireplace, and a washer and dryer.



The farmhouse has four bedrooms: three with king beds and one with a queen bed. The downstairs king suite has an ensuite bathroom. Two upstairs king bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom with a walk-in shower and clawfoot tub. The queen bedroom has a private ensuite.



The Judy is a one-bedroom cottage with a king bed, sleeper sofa, full kitchen, bathroom with a soaking tub and separate shower, and a private courtyard with a covered hot tub, outdoor shower, and fire pit.



The Melvin is an ADA-compliant studio with a king bed, kitchenette, gas fireplace, roll-in shower, handrails, wide doorway access, and no-step entry. It also has a private courtyard with a covered hot tub, outdoor shower, and fire pit.



The Cora is a converted granary studio with a king bed, kitchenette, full bathroom, sitting area with Roku TV, and a porch overlooking the Texas sky.



Across the four homes, sleeping arrangements include six king beds, one queen bed, and two sleeper sofas. The maximum occupancy when the full property is booked is 18 guests.



THINGS TO KNOW



Check-in is at 4:00 PM and checkout is at 11:00 AM. Keyless entry codes are sent the day before arrival. Early check-in and late checkout depend on the reservation schedule and cleaning time.



Wood for the fire pit is not provided. Yard maintenance may take place during your stay.



The property uses well water and a septic system. A sulfur scent may occasionally be noticeable; filters and water softeners help minimize it.



The property is in the countryside, so an occasional insect or critter may be present despite regular pest control. In spring, birds may nest on The Oswald’s front porch, and droppings may occur. The active nests cannot be removed during that time.



The primary booking guest must be at least 21 years old.



PETS



Up to two pets are allowed. Please include them in your Airbnb reservation, keep them leashed outside, and clean up after them. Guests are responsible for damage caused by their pets.
