Older than the country it stands in. That's not a line — it's the deed. The Von Heinrich Home dates to 1787, built before the United States had a constitution, and relocated, generations later, to the heart of the Texas Hill Country. Restored with real care, it's a rare piece of early American history you don't just look at but stay inside. The character runs deep — two and a half centuries of it — thoughtfully updated so the age is something you feel in the timber and the quiet, not something you put up with.

Two bedrooms sleep three inside a home that wears its history gracefully. The restoration brought in modern comfort and left the 1787 soul intact, so the stay feels calm and grounded — the particular hush of a very old house that has settled into peace. It's a place that slows your pulse a little.

The setting is as lovely as the house. Von Heinrich sits within Settlers Crossing's 35-acre property, surrounded by majestic oaks and peaceful gardens, with the wider Hill Country beyond. Friendly farm animals graze the grounds, and the wildlife keeps its own hours. Mornings in the garden are the quiet luxury here; nights bring a sky full of stars. And when the date on the deed catches you, our Fredericksburg AI Historical Guide can tell you where an 18th-century home comes from and how it found its way to Texas.

Cancellation Policy: Fifty percent (50.00%) of the total booking charges will be refunded if the cancellation is made more than 14 days prior to the arrival date of the reservation. For cancellations made within 14 days prior to the arrival date, no refund will be issued.
