The Vine on Middle Creek
The Vine on Middle Creek – 1027 Middle Creek Road, Fredericksburg, TX 78624

To access The Vine on Middle Creek, guests drive past their vineyard and drive a short winding road to the bed and breakfast property located underneath a canopy of oak trees. To my delight, each guest is assigned a beautiful bedroom suite, complete with a walk-in shower and jacuzzi tub.
I enjoyed sitting outdoors, admiring the view from a private porch swing, when I wasn’t playing with the property’s cute dog, Zoey. In the morning, I walked a short distance to the community building for a home-cooked breakfast.

The accommodation was comfortable, clean, and spacious. There were two of us in the house, and we had more than enough room for privacy, as well as a shared kitchen.

The Fischer & Wieser’s Farmstead is an all-encompassing experience located surprisingly close to downtown Fredericksburg, TX. You don’t have to leave the property to enjoy a few days of rest and recreation at these rental properties. Das Peach Haus Country Store is a beautiful food shop with many (and I mean many) delicious treats to enjoy: jams, jellies, and sauces. It also has a cooking school for those gourmet cooks looking for interesting recipes with local flavours.
Fancy a drink? Look no further than Dietz Distillery, located adjacent to the store. Here, you can enjoy tasty cocktails made with their gin, vodka, and ‘eau de vie’ small-batch, high-quality spirits. This property has so much to love because of its varied venues, from a large farmstead to Airstreams, a Pullman train car, and even a tiny house.

With three options between 20′ and 30′, the Airstreams offer an RV/camping experience without the hassle of hooking up lines and hauling trailers. Situated on the F&W farmstead, each has unique qualities and is suited for two people. The smallest is Basecamp, and the two larger ones, Caravel and Serenity, have more room. All have Adirondack chairs by the fire pit and a table for outdoor eating.

According to the VRBO listing, “One of the many advantages of staying at the Airstreams [and tiny home] is you will be welcomed with a complimentary bottle of wine and charcuterie board, plus we are pleased to include, with every stay, a $50 gift certificate for Das Peach Haus and two complimentary beverages at Dietz Distillery.”
