Wedding weekend getaway
There are so many lovely things I can say about this cottage and the owners. They left us a beautiful card to congratulate us on our recent engagement which I just mentioned a few weeks prior to our visit. The cottage felt like walking into our own home. Comfort from the moment you stepped in. We were even able to see some deer on our first morning after arriving! I can’t wait for our next trip to Fredericksburg so we can stay here again!

Little Cottage in the Woods
This one bedroom cottage is just adorable! I use a walker and it is set up very nicely for mobil disabilities. Lynn's decorating and attention to the smallest items is totally perfect. While the inside is incredible, the outside porch and patio were beautiful. The patio faces a wooded pasture. We could put food out for deer and sure enough, one early morning we saw a beautiful buck, doe and fawn!

Quiet & Perfect Fredericksburg Stay
This was our second time staying at Spotted Fawn cottage- we actually planned our trip around a week that it was available. The hosts provide wonderful hospitality, a beautiful cottage, and great communication. It is easily the nicest vrbo we have ever spent time at.

About the host

Hosted by Lynn Sample

Host profile image
A love of history compelled the owners to purchase this historic German homestead in 2007. Both owners were originally from the Panhandle of Texas, and both were lovers of antiques, so property called out to them for a full restoration, and the final step in that process was the construction of this beautiful and comfortable guest house on a private corner of the property.

Why they chose this property

Escape from your every day stresses & demands to a quiet, comfortable and luxurious Cottage with views, wildlife, and its own unique history to recharge & refresh your outlook on life! The man who built the German limestone home on this property, Jacob Neffendorf, was one of the original surveyors of the Fredericksburg townsite. Later, he returned as on of the first 120 settlers who founded Fredericksburg in May 1846. This property is on Outlot 319, as designated by the German Immigration Society, and the new owners were able to secure a Texas Historic Marker for the property in May 2012. A full copy of the research for the Marker, with photos and maps, is available for guests to enjoy in the Cottage - old world charm and history meet modern amenities and luxury on a historic German farmstead! Your visit is "contactless", and includes meal coupons!

What makes this property unique

The property contains many original components of the German farmstead - the rock-lined, hand-dug well always has water, the three-legged Aeromotor windmill is in its original location near the Cottage, a Roos block tank house with a rock tank on top supplied the two-story rock homestead with water beginning in the 1920s. The original rock lined cellar and smokehouse are on the property, too. All these unique and historic features can be enjoyed by Cottage guests, along with their spacious, luxurious quarters and their private views of the 1,500 acre ranch behind the homestead.
