Das Garten Haus

With years of traveling the world it is marvelous to find the perfect B & B within 100 miles of our home. My husband and I journey at least one weekend a year to Fredericksburg, yet had not found Das Garten Haus until this spring. What a truly delightful weekend with Lynn and Kevin as our hosts. Their attention to detail is coupled with the charm of their property. They were close at hand, yet out of sight unless we needed them. Our suite provided ample room to read and watch TV over a cup of coffee (kitchenette with all amenities included); however the garden just out our back door offered the best place to unwind. Lynn's gourmet breakfasts and conversation with other guests set the stage for our days in historic Fredericksburg. The property is just far enough away from the congestion and noise of main street, yet quite close to shopping, museums, wineries and restaurants. We plan to return to Das Garten Haus and without hesitation recommend it to those who wish a combination of value, amenities, and superb hosts. Retired Military Couple

A girlfriend and I booked the upstairs apartment with separate bedrooms for a weekend getaway (from our kids). We loved it! The breakfast was five star, and the linens were so luxurious that I ordered some from the owners. I highly recommend this bed and breakfast.

Very nice breakfast and friendly innkeepers.

Das Garten Haus is a very warm and comfy retreat with family style values. It lays about a fifteen walk from Main Street Fredericksburg, which is lined on both sides with some nice shops, boutiques and restaurants in a rural German atmosphere. It features a World War II Pacific Theater Museum. Just a short drive away are many vineyards and peach farms and a must see LBJ Ranch.

We completely enjoyed our recent stay at Das Garten House. We were welcomed on our arrival by Lynn, our gracious host and shown to our room where we found an unexpected treat as well as helpful information about events in the area that we might enjoy. Our accommodations were very comfortable. Beside a bedroom, we had some additional living space and a small kitchen. There was also seating outside in a beautifully landscaped courtyard area. We especially loved the wonderful breakfasts which were served at Lynn's lovely table each morning. The food was excellent. It was the definitely the best food we had during our stay in Fredericksburg. Everything about this B&B is top notch and the atmosphere is so warm and welcoming. We recommend it highly!

Friendly hosts, clean apartment, tasty breakfasts, and within a ten minute walk to Main Street. I would recommend this B&B to any of my family and friends visiting Fredericksburg.

We are so happy we found this place. The room was comfortable and large, with a living room. The breakfasts were out of this world. Lynn and Kevin are delightful. Many of the B&B's in Fredericksburg were not owner occupied, and had the flavor of a boarding house, or resembled a hotel more than they did a B&B. Das Garten Haus is the real deal.

My husband and I decided to spend the weekend in Fredericksburg and a friend recommended Das Garten Haus to us. We had an AMAZING time. I would consider Das Garten Haus a classic and authentic bed and breakfast. The service was great, the breakfast was outstanding, our room was very comfortable, and we had a great time getting to know the innkeepers. Das Garten Haus is a small bed and breakfast and you really feel like you are getting the full experience of a b'n'b. I have stayed at larger bed and breakfasts before...they tend to be crowded and you feel more like a customer than a person. At Das Garten Haus we didn't feel like we were just customers. The innkeepers too care to make sure that all our needs were met and gave us all kinds of tips on how to make the best of our experience in Fredericksburg. We will definitly go back to Das Garten Haus anytime we are in Fredericksburg! I strongly recommend this place.

Das Garten Haus was excellent! My wife and I wanted to get away for our 1 year anniversary. The property was comfy, quiet, and beautiful! Lynn is wonderful and was such a pleasure to meet. She was a huge help on selecting some great restaurants for dinner and provided us with all the information we needed about the local area, to make our weekend stay in Fredericksburg amazing! Lynn knows how to make a breakfast!.....it was delicious! We really enjoyed the conversations with Lynn and the other guest around the breakfast table. We definitely would love to come back and visit again! Thank you Lynn!

We left DFW for a weekend escape to Fredericksburg with a stay at Das Garten Haus that exceeded our expectations. The private cottage provided very clean and comfortable accommodations - the best night's sleep away from home. Lynn prepared tasty breakfasts each morning served with her own special coffee blend. We will visit again!

My husband and I decided to spend a weekend there celebrating his return home. The room was absolutly beautiful and very clean. The in room refreshments were wonderful after the drive to Fredericksburg. And let me tell you, Lynn can cook like no ones business! The food was something I expected to be served at a 5 star resturant. The company was wonderful and the owners were so kind to us. The garden was especially nice. Money wise, we got our monies worth. The price was perfect for our budget and we have every intention of booking there again!

We haven't found a better B&B than Das Garten Haus. It had a very nice sitting area in the garden. You won't find a better breakfast anywhere. Great place to stay for a Fredericksburg visit.

We went to Das Garten Haus for our wedding anniversary. Te innkeepers were wonderful. The room was clean and very comfortable, and the breakfast was amazing!

The bed was very comfortable. Sheets were awesome. Nice to have a extra room in B&B for sitting. Beautiful grounds. Tiny bathroom. Breakfast served on premises was fabulous! Walk to restaurant across the street The Nest. Excellent food. Stayed in the Garden Suite.

Loved our rooms and the sheets and beds were fabulous! Breakfast was outstanding!

My parents and I really enjoyed staying here. It's a really pretty place - great rooms and breakfast - close to the high street and Lynn was really friendly and helpful. I highly recommend Das Garten Haus.

Our stay at Das Garten Haus was absolutely wonderful. I consider us to be picky travelers, and the things that matter most to us are the sleeping environment (bed quality, room climate, comfort), WiFi and the food (such as breakfast or an in-hotel restaurant). Das Garten Haus met or exceeded all of our expectations in these very important areas. The room was extremely comfortable. The bedding and mattress quality were superb (wait 'til you try the special microfiber sheets), the room was spacious and clean with lots of amenities and had large windows as well as shades that could be used for room-darkening at bedtime. It was very quiet there, so it was very easy to sleep. In addition the room had an excellent A/C and heating system so no matter what time of year you visit it will be just the temperature you like. Cable TV and a mini-kitchen were also included. One of the most outstanding qualities of this B&B was the gourmet breakfasts that Lynn served each morning. Every one of our four days we were treated with a different special home-cooked breakfast. All of the basics were covered, but prepared in a very creative way. Everything from herbs to eggs to fruits, etc. was fresh and most things were home grown at Das Garten Haus. Natural or organic items from local businesses were also served. Lynn's breakfasts have to be the best we've ever had while eating at either a hotel restaurant, buffet or B&B--simply amazing. As for the WIFI, there was a router in our room and we had fast reliable internet connectivity. It doesn't matter whether you are travelling for business, pleasure or just want your iPhone or iPad to be fully functional--WiFi is a must for any place that we choose to stay on our trips. The property was very nice with ample space for free off-street parking. In addition to the gardens there was a nice courtyard area with patio tables and chairs for those times when the weather is nice and you'd like to enjoy time outdoors.

The garden cottage was perfect for us. Beautiful courtyard with flower and vegetable garden directly outside. Great privacy, but also located very convenient to Main Street. We walked in to get dinner/sightsee/shop. Breakfasts were incredible! Kevin and Lynn were very friendly and helpful in recommending bike riding routes, wineries, and restaurants. We would definitely stay here on a future trip.

Das Garten House is the perfect place to stay in Fredericksburg. It's not on the main street, but it's close enough to everything. The inn keepers were most friendly and helpful. The Garden Suite was perfect for two and the breakfast each morning was delightful. Would definitely stay here again.

Das Garten Haus was the perfect B&B for our anniversary getaway. The room was very nice, the bed was comfortable, we were close to all the best restaurants, and the breakfast was probably the best I have had a long while. Also, both Kevin and Lynn were very hospitable and welcoming. The whole experience was very relaxing, intimate, and enjoyable - perfect for an escape from the daily grind.

The rooms are wonderful and cozy. Lynn and Kevin are great hosts and very kind.

Having used B&B's worldwide for accomodations, we were impressed with Das Garten Haus. We were provided every expected amentity in a clean and fresh setting. Lynn was extremely helpful in providing information regarding local resturants, shopping and attractions. Each morning we enjoyed a wonderful breakfast and great conversation! We'd highly reccomend Das Garten Haus if you're planning a vist to Fredricksburg. We'll be staying there again on our next visit.

My sister and I stayed in the Upstairs Suite and were both so pleased with the accommodations. Our large bedrooms were beautifully and tastefully decorated. A roomy, super comfortable living room and a wonderful kitchen made the ambience of the place so incredibly homey. Lovely courtyard and flowers and the best breakfasts EVER! Highly recommend this place especially for a weekend with girlfriends! Many thanks to Lynn and Kevin for making our stay so memorable !!

My sister and I stayed at the Das Garten Haus this past weekend. We wanted somewhere homey to stay with great food and a convenient location since we were planning on visiting vineyards and hiking around Enchanted Rock during our stay. I am what I would consider an extremely well-researched traveler. I pride myself on finding the perfect places to stay and things to do on every trip. I read about thirty reviews of different B&B's in the area and decided on this one due to the rave reviews of both the place and the food. It more than exceeded my expectations. Lynn and Kevin were AMAZING hosts- extremely friendly and had super helpful suggestions for places to go from vineyards to local museums to great places to grab yummy local food. The room was comfortable and far bigger and more well-stocked than we even needed. We received cookies upon our arrival (which ended up being 6 hours later than we originally told Lynn and Kevin and way after traditional check-in time- Lynn was so great about it and waited up to let us in and show us around). The breakfasts were unbelievable and HUGE- we definitely didn't need lunch. We even got the recipe for the leek tart Lynn made our second morning because we liked it so much! The location of the B&B was phenomenal- right off of Main Street so it was an easy walk or drive into town and super close and convenient to all of the wineries we wanted to visit. I'm moving to San Francisco and have been to Napa, Sonoma and Santa Barbara for wine tasting so I was skeptical about Fredericksburg but I can say the whole trip was such a pleasant surprise. The town is ADORABLE, the vineyards were beautiful and had delicious wine, the scenery is distinct and beautiful and the surrounding areas to hike were well-worth the trip. I would definitely come back and when I do I would not hesitate to stay at the Das Garten Haus again. In a word it was positively perfect.

Das Garten Haus is a lovely property with three apartments overlooking a a treasure of a courtyard with a beautiful rustic garden and view.We were met on arrival by the Owner who showed us around our apartment and left a type-written list of places of interest and good restuarants. The rooms were cozy, well appointed and comfortable and we had a very restful stay. Breakfast was magnificient, with the food freshly baked / cooked and served by the Owner in a central dining room where all the guests sat down at one time. The food was very tasty, served on fine china and the settings on the table, sumptious. The Owner chatted with us throughout the breakfast and was very friendly. We really enjoyed our stay

Breakfasts were homeade and phenomenal! The Garden Suite was cozy and clean. Kevin and Lynn were very inviting and knowledgable of the sights and sounds of Fredericksburg. I would recommend this B&B to anyone looking for a traditional B&B that includes a hot and filling gourmet breakfast every morning.

This is our fifth visit to this B&B and we continue to come back. The accomodations are great, the breakfast is gormet and Lynn and Kevin go out of their way to make your visit memorable. If you go to Fredicksburg this is the place to stay. The Nest just across the street is one of the finest dining experiences in town. How can you beat that?

My husband and I spent the past weekend in Fredericksburg for a Texas Wine Country experience. We traveled with another couple and were interested in finding a B&B, preferably one that could accommodate both of us. Das Garten Haus fit the bill perfectly! Of their three suites, one is a two-bedroom/one-bath apartment with a full kitchen and living space. It was very roomy and comfortable. Cozy queen-sized beds in each room with super soft sheets and a variety of pillows. At first I thought the one bathroom might be a drawback, but both rooms had great vanity spaces. Above all, Kevin and Lynn were very hospitable and provided us with great restaurant and tourist info. The breakfasts were fantastic, family-style experiences!! They incorporated wonderful fresh ingredients, several from their own garden. Delicious!! And while they're not located right on Main Street, it was merely a short walk away (which was generally a good thing at the end of the evening after indulging ourselves at the wonderful food and drink establishments on Main Street!). I would highly recommend a stay here if you're looking for an authentic B&B experience. Can't wait to return.

We enjoyed spending our second anniversary there. Wineries and shopping were fun and reading outside in the beautiful garden area, with wine and strawberries. The gourmet breakfast was the best. We will go back! Melinda and John, San Antonio, Texas

We had a wonderful time in Fredericksburg staying at the Das Garten Haus. We will definitely be back next time we come through. Hostess was extremely helpful with local items and food was outstanding!

very enjoyable. breakfast was excellant. would return again.

My husband, my parents, and I were quite comfortable in the upstairs suite (2 bedrooms, 1 bath, living room, & kitchen) where we stayed at Das Garten Haus. Lynn greeted us upon arrival and took us on a tour of the beautiful home and grounds. We appreciated the personal touches of fresh flowers and homemade cookies on the kitchen table. The breakfast each morning was absolutely delicious! We didn't have to worry about eating again for many hours because it was so filling. Das Garten Haus is conveniently located close to Main Street so everything we were doing was nearby. Lynn and Kevin were gracious hosts and we can't wait to return for another visit.

We were at Das Garten Haus during the old night in Fredericksburg festival. Accommodations are a good value and the breakfast are out of this world good. Very nice comfortable relaxing place. Grounds are very well landscaped.

My wife and I spent the 2010 Fourth of July weekend at the Das Garten Haus in Fredericksburg, TX and had a wonderful time. Lynn and Kevin provided a very lovely, well appointed cottage off their main home for our stay. We enjoyed a very clean private bath,furnished kitchen,king-sized bed,cable TV and many other amenities during our 3-night stay. But nothing topped the gracious hospitality and delicious, filling breakfasts Lynn whipped up! They were served each morning promptly at 8:30 leaving us plenty of time for sight-seeing and exploring the greater Fredericksburg area. Their garden proved perfect for exploring and relaxing. But if you're looking for things to do,they are well versed in all the local activities. You should seriously consider this B&B for your next trip to the Texas Hill Country!

We had a great time at Das Garten Haus. The room (the Garden Suite) was clean and quiet, the breakfasts were the best we have ever had, and the owners were extremely attentive. An overall 10; we recommend this place to all.

It might be worth prefacing this review with the note that my wife and I have stayed at dozens of B&Bs over the last several decades. This was our first visit to Das Garten Haus, but we are sure that it will not be our last. The occasion was our 45th wedding anniversary, and we had a super time. We stayed in the cottage, which was secluded, quiet, cool, and had a very comfortable bed. Lynnn's full breakfasts were superb (no lunches necessary after these babies!) and each time we enjoyed a delightful breakfast conversation with Lynn, as well. Her advice on where to eat in Fredericksburg was excellent, and we had two great (and reasonably priced) dinners. I would advise anyone to seriously consider Das Garten Haus for a quiet, restful, first- class B&B experience.

Staying at Das Garten Haus was a lovely comforting experience. The owners did everything possible to make our stay enjoyable ... recommending delicious places to eat; directing us to must see features of Fredericksburg and are; but most importantly sending us off with the most delicious, refined and relaxing breakfast! Our accommodations were very clean and homey. We would return as it is so conveniently located and has a lovely inner courtyard to unwind at the end of the day. Thank you.

My mom and I visit a B & B in the Hill Country every year. We were thrilled as we pulled in the drive to see this lovely home and beautifully landscaped yard. We were warmly greeted by Lynn and then settled into the "Upstairs Suite". We could have stayed in this spot all weekend. It's so cozy and nicely decorated. There is a pretty view of the backyard and stairway going down to the garden. The beds are very comfortable and linens soft. Kevin and Lynn have created a restful retreat here. The breakfasts are wonderfully delicious every morning. Lynn is available and so helpful in answering questions and giving suggestions to see the area. We were delighted with our visit and look forward to our next stay. Euless/Bedford, Texas

We stayed two nights and were joined by friends the 2nd night. Das Garten Haus is close enough to walk to dining and shopping on Main street or stroll across the street to the Nest for a meal. Be sure and visit the Becker winery and the Grape Creek Winery. Kevin was our host for the weekend and was very attentive and whipped up some wonderful breakfasts. Pray that you have the macadamia french toast.

The cottage was a very nice getaway for a our anniversary, the people, service, and atmosphere were all excellent.

My sister-in-law and I were delighted with our weekend at Das Garten Haus in April. The two-bedroom suite was perfect for our needs, and we couldn't believe our good luck in landing there. It was such a pleasure to come back in the afternoons after our sightseeing and wildflower ventures and relax in the lovely garden. We'll long remember Lynn's delicious gourmet breakfasts and the interesting fellow guests we visited with at the table. Das Garten Haus is definitely a place to return to, and next time we'll bring along our husbands. There's plenty of room in the suite.

We very much enjoyed our stay at "The Garten Haus". Very relaxing atmosphere, great accomodations. Very caring Host and Hostes. Gave us very good information on what there is to do and see in Fredricksburg, which made our stay very enjoyable. The Breakfasts were wonderfull. All in all we enjoyed our stay very much and would recommend it to frieds and family.

We spent two nights at Das Garten Haus B&B on a driving vacation to see the wildflowers in the Texas hill country. The accomodations were excellent. We were staying in a small suite that was very cozy, comfortable, and romantic. Lynn makes the most wonderful breakfasts, and she and Kevin are great hosts. They recommended a couple of restaurants for dinner, and both were excellent. We would highly recommend Das Garten Haus to anyone who is planning on a trip to Fredericksburg. The wildflowers were incredible this year, and we had a wonderful time enjoying the scenery. Shopping in Fredericksburg is always enjoyable, and Nimitz Museum in something that you don't want to miss. We had not been to Fredericksburg for several years, but we are hoping to go back before too long.

Lynn and Kevin are wonderful, hospitable individuals. The breakfast was outstanding!!! Their B&B was very clean!

We needed lodging for one night and the Das Garten was recommended to us. It couldn't have been a more pleasant stay. Wonderful breakfast. It was a lovely choice. Nice cottage and comfy bed.

Wonderful B&B!! Highly recommend! It is charming and clean and Lynn is an excellent hostess and cooks a delicious breakfast!

We took our family of six and were extremely impressed with the hospitality of Lynn and Kevin, our host and hostess. The breakfasts were excellent, the rooms were very comfortable and homey, and we enjoyed being able to sit out in the patio in the afternoons and just relax. It was the highlight of the trip for us, even though we enjoyed the LBJ ranch tour and the Nimitz museum. We will stay there again when we can.

We spent two great nights with friends at Das Garten Haus! The hospitality was friendly, the privacy great, and the breakfasts superb. Lynn's poached pears are incredible!

My wife and I chose Das Garten Haus based on the good reviews and we couldn't have been happier. Lynn and Kevin we extremely nice and helpful in pointing us to the better vineyards in the Hill Country. Lynn prepared the most lovely gourmet breakfasts each morning, and it became a highlight of our day. We stayed in the Garten Suite, which has a full kitchen, and cozy living area and had a great time! Thanks again!

Clean, friendly, wonderful breakfast. Das Garten Haus is just off of Main Street but not too far, so the traffic noise was not a problem. Hostess was very knowledgeable regarding Fredericksburg.

Das Garten Haus was the perfect mother/daughter get-away for our Spring Break. From the fresh baked cookies upon our arrival to the delicious breakfast served in the dining room on beautiful china, this delightful B & B was within walking distance of Main Street on a pretty day, yet far enough off the beaten path to truly be a get-away. Lynn and Kevin's warmth and hospitality was perfect without being intrusive. We felt more like guests in a friend's home rather than customers. We'll definitely stay here again when in Fredericksburg.

We loved the accommodations at Das Garten Haus. The Innkeepers are very knowledgeable on things to do in the area. Lynn makes a great healthy gourmet breakfast every morning. We stayed in the cottage in the property garden. It was spacious, very clean, with private entrance and parking. We recommend this B&B to any tourist to the Fredricksburg area for a relaxing getaway. We plan to return soon! C&M

My husband and I stayed here for our anniversary and were very pleased with our room, the Garden Suite. The innkeepers were very friendly, accomadating and knowledge about the area. The made from scratch breakfast both mornings were fabulous! We would definately stay here again.

The weekend was a gift for our 39th Wedding Anniversary and what a gift it was...delicious food (with generous portions), comfortable bed, cozy sitting room, fresh flowers and tasty cookies to greet us. It is just a few blocks off Main Street so we wasted no travel time getting to shops, restaurants, museum, etc. The MacWhiteys are very personable and give great attention to detail. We stayed during a severe cold front (8 degrees one night) and were toasty warm with leads me to believe we would be cool and comfortable during the Texas summer. We plan to go again

My boyfriend and I absolutely fell in love with this place. It was very clean and neat. Not only is Lynn an EXCELLENT cook, she and her husband are both very accomadating. They were very prompt in offering us great service. They also provided us with a list of recommended restaurants and wineries which we found very helpful. I would definitely recommend this BB to anyone.

Gracious hospitality, fabulous breakfasts, good location, and very nice accomodations. We four look forward to returning next year and highly recommend this place.

The food was absolutely amazing, what a great cook!! The suite was very clean and quiet. We would definately recommend it to everyone. Linda was extremely helpful and a gracious host. Right off the main street of shopping in Fredericksburg. Went to see enchanted rock and it was awesome, a must see!

Lynn is a gracious hostess and a fabulous cook. She made some wonderful recommendations to us for local restaurants and vinyards.

My wife and I stayed at Das Garten Haus for our 1 year anniversary and it was perfect! It was exactly what we needed. The place was cozy and Lynn was a great hostess. There are not many B&B's that actually cook breakfast for you anymore. But this one does and the food is amazing! My wife and I definitely going back for a longer stay.

We looked online, but the actual b&b far surpassed what we saw online. We will certainly go back. I know there are lots of b&bs in Fredericksburg, but Das Garten haus will be our home when we return.

What a wonderful place to stay. Our first B & B experience and it was beyond our expectations. The accomodations were very clean and comfortable and the breakfast was delicious! We felt very pampered and look forward to our next stay,

My wife and I had a lovely stay at Das Garten Haus. We had the small room which was nicely furnished and very clean. The bathroom was extremely small, but for a short stay is no problem. The room includes a sitting room and kitchenette, including a full size refrigerator, sink, and microwave. The cookies were great and the breakfast Sunday morning was excellent. Lynn and Kevin are good hosts and made our stay quite enjoyable.

WONDERFUL PLACE; GREAT FOOD; DELIGHTFUL PEOPLE. WE WILL CERTAINLY BE BACK!!! JUDIE & FRED HOSEY DALLAS, TX

Lynn and Kevin were very hospitable; right from the time we booked the cottage we received a warm welcoming email from Lynn. As soon as we pulled up to the house Lynn walked out and greeted us by name. We instantly felt comfortable. The cottage room was set off to the side of the house so we had a little more privacy and it had a relaxing feel to it. The house has a very nice terrace/garden in the back yard...an area for a nice bottle of wine and great conversation. Lynn is a great cook her breakfast was amazing! We are definitely planning another trip soon! Thank you for making our 1st B&B experience a great one! Sandra & Sergio San Antonio, TX

Das Garten Haus is like a home away from home. Our recent visit was our second in four months. We stayed in the Upstairs Suite both times. It is spacious and easily accommodated my mother, my husband and myself. We especially like the kitchen. The beds are comfortable and we like the views of the gardens. Das Garten Haus is the cleanest place I have ever stayed - ever. The breakfasts are out of this world. I highly recommend it.

Cannot say enough about this place. From friendliness to cleanliness. The breakfasts were so tasty! Lynn and Kevin are very personable. What a wonderful stay.

When friends or family need to get away and want a place of quiet and comfort, Das Garten Haus is the place to come. The accommodations were splendid --homey and spacious -- a great place to relax and play cards, visit, laugh, and enjoy! Being greeted with warm cookies and soft drinks, certainly made all of us feel welcome. The breakfast was outstanding and Lynn and Kevin provided information about shopping, dining, and sight-seeing with excellent directions. We could not have selected a better B&B!

This B&B is unique in that it's like having your own living quarters. The garden room has it's own living area, kitchenette, bedroom, bathroom, and private entrance. The breakfasts are gourmet without being fussy and the owners are very knowledgeable and friendly. The gardens are beautiful with water features and so many unique sights! I definitely recommend this B&B.

Das Garten Haus was a beautiful B&B with an amazing breakfast each morning. We really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend it for anyone looking for a nice tranquil place to stay while visiting Fredericksburg.

Several years ago three friends and I stayed at Das Garten Haus. When it was time to do Fredericksburg again, we immediately contacted Lynn. Our suite, again, was just perfect for a fun evening of playing cards and visiting. The rooms were very clean, the grounds are lovely, breakfast was outstanding, and Lynn is a gracious and helpful hostess.

By staying at a B & B we carry with us a sense of "home". This provides a certain level of comfort at the end of a long day of exploration. During our stay at Das Garten Haus we can undoubtedly say that this goal was fulfilled with, kindness, solace and wonderfully good eats. After a challenging day of cycling we found the Upstairs Suite a welcome oasis. A short trek up the stairs would reveal our temporary nest; a warm color palate, aged, amber-colored hardwood floors, comfortable antique furnishings and home-baked cookies...a cottage charm that allowed us to unwind and relax. After a bit, we would mosey down to the outside garden. Comfy chairs were nestled below a large tree canopy surrounded by garden beds of manicured shrubs and vibrant flowers. It was at this time that we were also welcomed by Rascal, their sweet, and friendly little dog. Part of the B & B experience is the communal breakfast. We find ourselves looking forward to the morning meal with complete strangers; a quick introduction, a few moments to share our lives, followed by the bidding of farewell, knowing all the while that most likely we'd never see each other again, but thankful for our short encounter. One of the reasons that we chose Das Garten Haus was the sample breakfast menu as noted on their website. Lynn did not disappoint. Each morning she served a luscious yet hearty breakfast presented in an eye-pleasing manner. After the meal was finished she would join us to share stories, answer questions and add suggestions, all to enhance our brief time in the Hill Country. We found Kevin and Lynn the ideal host and hostess; helpful when asked yet quietly out of view when desired. Lynn, Kevin and Rascal, we thank you for opening your home to us, for your brief friendship, and for the wonderful breakfasts each morning....a little bit of "home" indeed. Jim, Joanne and Doug

My wife and I throughly enjoyed our brief visit to Das Garten Haus B&B. The breakfast served by our host Lynn MacWithey was outstanding.

A very relaxing weekend, the owners were very friendly and the breakfasts were great. The beds were just a bit hard and uncomfortable, but in all the weekend was super.

Stayed in early May, just the wife and I for the weekend

We just returned from our 3 night stay at the Das Garten Haus. We stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment that was perfect. Lynn had delicious cookies waiting for us along with water and soft drinks in the fridge. Each bedroom was very comfortable and had plenty of extra blankets and choices of pillows. This was perfect for us as my daughter and a friend was with us. Private, yet we had the living room to be together in. A lot better than 2 hotel rooms. The gardens here are beautiful with several sitting areas and water fountains. The hospitality was great. Very friendly and Lynn helped us find a nice place to dine on Easter night as a lot of places were closed. The Breakfast!!! Wonderful!! Lovely table setting and the food was fantastic. We would definitely stay here again the next rime we are in Fredericksburg. JF Dallas TX

My stay here was for a weekend get a way. I had just lost my husband and my best friend and I decided I needed some recovery time. This place was perfect for that. The house was great and Kevin did a wonderful job with the breakfast menu. It was really special to be cooked for and served. Thank you for your hospitality - it was very special.

This is the 12th time we have stayed with Lynn and Kevin at Das Garten Haus, as we celebrate our anniversary with a trip to Fredericksburg. We certainly enjoyed it again this year, as they make us feel like we are part of their family and they are a great host and hostess. Lynn had freshly baked cookies and an anniversary card waiting for us when we arrived. Lynn had some excellent suggestions for dinner and some new entertainment at the Rockbox (which is excellent). Kevin's garden is beautiful, and a great place to stroll before the sumptious breakfasts that were served. The Garden Suite is very nice, and the bed is very comfortable. We had a great time and will go back again next year. We highly recommend it--thanks! Kent and Karen Francis The Woodlands, TX

When we arrived as Das Garten Haus, Kevin warmly welcomed us, showed us our lodging (the cottage), told us about breakfast time and offered to make dinner reservations for us when we asked for suggestions. (We concur with his recommendation of dinner at The Nest across the street--excellent). Our room was lovely and the breakfasts Lynn prepared were superb! We enjoyed our conversations at breakfast with the other guests. Also, Lynn provided good suggestions about things to see and do in the Fredericksburg area. We would definitely stay at Das Garten Haus again and recommend it to friends.

Breakfasts were wonderful. Lynn was very helpful with information about dining and things to do in town. Rooms could use some updating and the bathroom was extremely small.

My husband and I + my cousin and his girlfriend stayed in the Upstairs (treehouse) Suite at Das Garten Haus when we were in town for the Wine Lovers Trail. It was absolutely amazing - such a clean, cozy, comfortable place for us to spend a relaxing evening with one another. I could go on and on about how much we loved it, how cutely it was decorated and how hospitable Lynn, the owner was. We had a plate of cookies, sodas, water, coffee (etc) ready for us upon arrival, as well as a map of the town and a list of live music events she'd prepared for us. The accommodations were beyond lovely, including the garden behind the house, and the breakfast she prepared the next morning was to die for - truly gourmet. I would definitely stay here again, and certainly plan on doing so when I visit Fredericksburg in the future.

Our recent stay with Kevin and Lynn in their lovely home was absolutely wonderful. The room was very cozy and comfortable with all the comforts of home. Lynn prepared an epicurean breakfast that tasted out of this world. We look forward to returning to spend more time in Fredericksburg with them.

We found Das Garten Haus for an anniversary get-away weekend. My husband & I wanted something simple, quiet and not too far from Houston. The private cottage we chose was perfect, clean, comfortable and quiet. Lynn's breakfast was delicious and filling each morning and the hospitality was warm. We will return here someday, hopefully in the spring or summer to be able to enjoy their wonderful courtyard when the weather is warmer. The location is easy to find and there is a wonderful dinner restaurant just across the street. Perfect for a quiet get-away from our hustle & bustle.

Stayed two nights. Great hosts, accommodating for new years celebrations in town. Will stay again.

We loved our stay at Das Garten Haus and are already planning to return! We stayed in the Garden Suite and it was perfect for the two of us. Lots of privacy and plenty of space to relax. Lynn was especially helpful in giving us recommendations for dining and events in the area. Her gourmet breakfasts are one-on-kind and delicious! 'We hope to return in the Spring when we can benefit from the lovely gardens that are pictured on the website. Strongly recommend a visit to The Nest, a wonderful restaurant right across the street from Das Garten Haus. We're looking forward to our next visit to Fredericksburg and a return to this lovely B & B!

We had a delightful stay at Das Garten Haus. The hosts are friendly and helpful, the lodging is clean and comfortable, and the food is terrific. We highly recommend this B&B.

We were very impressed with the overall quality of our experience at Das Garten Haus B&B. From the time we first made the reservation to the final good bye on Sunday, Lynn and Kevin made us feel like welcomed guest with numerous personal touches . They provided an outstanding breakfast each morning - a very enjoyable experience itself that differentiates them other quality B&Bs. We stayed in the Garden Suite, the smallest, and we found it very comfortable and private. Kevin gave us a tour of the other rooms. The 2 bedroom suite looks to be perfect for two couples sharing a weekend adventure. I really appreciated the WiFi connection so that I could stay connected. Being December and our full agenda visting the many wineries around Fredricksburg, we did not get to spend much time in the garden. Rebecca wants to go back in spring so that she can spend time in garden reading.

The Garden Suite was well prepared for our visit and the hosts were gracious. Lynn provided all the info we needed for our visit. The full breakfast was excellent and more than enough to start the day! I would recommend this place to friends.

The owners, who live on site, were very hospitable & knowledgeable of the area. Breakfast was prompt & delicious. The grounds were manicured beautifully, rooms were spacious & "spic & span" clean! Don't want the whole world knowing how WONDERFUL this B & B is, or I won't be able to book my reservation next time! Can't wait to return, though, sadly it may be a while.

We found Das Garten Haus on the internet which can be iffy--not so with Garten Haus--the facilitys were immaculate and comfotable--we spent as much time as possible in the garden--our host Lynn and Kevin are excellent host. Last but not least the breakfast was special

Das Garten Haus is a marvelous place to go for rest and relaxation. The gardens are beautiful, the accommodations are the finest, and the food is exceptional. We thoroughly enjoyed our two-night visit with Lynn and Kevin. They are friendly hosts, are knowledgeable about the surrounding hill country, and stand ready to offer advice as to good restaurants, shops, and events in the area.

I have stayed in many B & B's, and I would rate this one near the top of my list, mainly due to the hospitality and home-like atmosphere. The beautiful gardens and peaceful setting made for a very restful stay. The decor was attractive without being too opulent-looking and that made for a comfortable feeling. The breakfast was gourmet quality, and served in a tasteful manner with fine china and silver. The Das Garten Haus is only a short drive to the downtown area and other attractions. I would like to return again and I would definitely recommend this B & B to others.

The food was exceptional. Lynn was great company and had many ideas for what to do during the daytime. The garden area was so perfect for sipping coffee and reading the paper. We found the peacefulness of the cottage to be exactly what we were looking for. Thank you for a wonderful weekend. :-)

Very pleasant

What a wonderful Bed and breakfast! Lynn made us feel quite welcome and right at home. Thank you :)

Great place to stay, very clean and homey. Great food!

Ours was a gathering of friends to celebrate a birthday, and we rented all the rooms. One of the rooms contained a kitchen/livingroom which gave our group the choice of visiting in the lovely garden or in the livingroom. Lynn and Kevin were wonderful hosts who helped us with reservations, directions, and suggestions for activities. We continue to talk about starting each day with fabulous food in an elegant setting.

The Garden Cottage was just perfect. We had a very relaxing stay. The breakfast served was delicious and enough to keep you going all morning.
