Tranquil Hill Country Escape: Pet-Friendly, Near Wineries, & Stellar Stargazing!

Escape to Das Fritz Weinhaus, your perfect retreat in the heart of the Texas Hill Country Wine Region! This updated, 1960's-era 3-bedroom, 2-bath ranch home sits on 1.2 spacious acres in the charming, rural community of Stonewall, Texas. It's the ideal getaway for friends or families looking to explore wineries and unwind in a peaceful small-town atmosphere.

Located at the midpoint of the famous Texas 290 Wine Trail between Johnson City and Fredericksburg, you'll find dozens of wineries just minutes away. Beyond the wineries, the area offers something for every taste: sip bourbon at Garrison Brothers Distillery, savor craft beer at Altstadt Brewery, or discover artisanal spirits at Salvation Spirits. And when you're ready to explore, you're just minutes from iconic Hill Country gems like Luckenbach, Wildseed Farms, Fredericksburg Trade Days, Albert Ice House and Dance Hall, and the LBJ Ranch.

History buffs will love knowing that in the 1960s, the property was an occasional hangout of President LBJ himself when visiting its original owners. Combine the charm of historic Stonewall with star-filled night skies, tranquil surroundings, and endless adventures—Das Fritz Weinhaus has it all. Your Hill Country escape awaits!

Awesome time in the heart of wine country with great friends!
We stayed with another couple at Das Fritz Weinhaus in early December for some relaxing R&R in the beautiful wine region of the Hill Country. We had a wonderful time, and were especially impressed with three features. First, Stonewall is an ideal home base for visiting some of the best wineries in the region. We've stayed at various places in and around Fredericksburg in the past, which required us to trek out US 290 to explore as well as stop at our favorite haunts. Being in Stonewall made us feel like true Hill County denizens, and minimized our time on the road. Second, Das Fritz Weinhaus is a terrific place to stay. The kitchen is fully appointed, the bedrooms are spacious and comfortable, and the backyard is great for grilling, enjoying meals at the picnic table (especially when you have great weather like we did) and just hanging out around the fire pit (Tip: When you light the fire pit, you have to push in the knob and HOLD THE KNOB IN for 30 seconds or so after lighting, so the heating element gets hot to keep the gas on. Also, note that you are a little close to 290 so when in the backyard, there is some road noise that is unavoidable, although it didn't affect any of our restful sleep). Third, and the icing on the cake for us, was the owners of Das Fritz Weinhaus from their always prompt response to our inquiries to the thought and care they have obviously put into the place. Their homey touches include a beautiful remodel of the home and lots of welcoming amenities from cozy blankets, to lots of high-tech comforts, to passes to a local wine tasting, and even a beautifully decorated Christmas tree! There's more but you can experience it all for yourself. We highly recommend Das Fritz Weinhaus and look forward to a return visit. Thank you Jim and Laura!!

Great Oktoberfest Get-Away
This property always delights! The house is immaculate, well-equipped, as pictured with many great features! The location is perfect - close enough to Fredericksburg to be an easy drive, convenient to many attractions, yet quiet & out in the country. Jim & Laura are the perfect hosts - supplying anything you could need from a well-stocked snack basket to a frig with breakfast items, to bottled water, to all kinds of coffee & tea, to wine and hand-decorated cookies! It is always a pleasure to stay here - one of our favorites, we always return.

Talk about an amazing stay! Very comfortable and personable experience! It was nice to be so close to the wineries and Fredericksburg where we spent most of the day and relaxed outside at the house in the evenings! I will definitely be coming back in the future to spend more eventful days with the family! Thank y’all for a top notch experience!!

Another awesome trip to the hill country
We had an amazing time at Das Fritz. The home was very spacious and we loved the wine theme decorations. Easily 25-30 wineries within a 5-15 min drive from the location which is fabulous. We really enjoyed evening time out on the patio to wind down for the night. Quiet and serene while listing to the birds sipping on wine before we called it a night. We highly recommend this location not only for the amazing home but the close proximity to many of the great wineries in the area. Can't wait to visit Das Fritz again in the future!

Amazing Hill Country Home! Highly Recommend!
This was our 3rd booking at Das Fritz Weinhaus and, as always, this home delivered at the highest levels! There are so many great things to say about this property it is difficult to find a place to start. For us, the vacation rental experience always begins with communication from the host. In that regard, Jim is simply amazing. He made sure we knew what to expect, how to access the home and what was happening in the area. The virtual concierge on the wall when we checked in was awesome! It helped us check in, gave us tips about the property and the area, provided info regarding the home and allowed us to check out seamlessly. We were super impressed. To have that many wineries in such a close proximity to where we stayed was epic! Actually, some of the best wineries in the Texas Hill Country are less than 10 minutes away. On top of that, the home is absolutely perfect. It is one of the cleanest, best set up properties we have ever enjoyed. That's why this was trip number 3 for us. If you are looking for a great home, a great value and a great experience, Das Fritz Weinhaus falls under the "Highly, Highly Recommend Category". There were probably places that were a bet less money but in the end, you really do get what you pay for. Thanks Jim! We can't wait for trip number 4 to spend time in the Texas Hill Country and at your home...

Wonderful stay to ring in the New Year and excellent hosts!
We couldn't have felt more welcome and ready to ring in the New Year with the party favors and champagne they left for us! The Fritz's have left nothing to want for and we had everything we needed to cook, relax and enjoy the area. Our only hesitance with giving the location a 5 out of 5 was how close the home is to 290 and the traffic noise. Otherwise, the home is perfectly located to visit Johnson City, Luckenbach, Fredericksburg, etc. Overall, a wonderful home, excellent hosts and a great place to visit.
