Palo Alto Creek Farm
-
While staying at Palo Alto Creek Farm, enjoy the abundant wildlife. Early in the morning, wild turkey have been known to meander up the creek, and there is a neverending display of bird activity and song. Guests especially enjoy sitting in the swing under an 800-year-old Live Oak to watch the deer that come in each evening.
The Log Cabin, circa 1854, is the first structure that was built on this historic homestead. A stay in the Log Cabin, where the Karl Itz family raised nine children, lets you reflect on the character of the pioneers while enjoying all of today's luxury amenities in a charming cottage. Enjoy a romantic evening in front of the fieldstone fireplace, a focal point of the living room. Set the mood with special music or a nostalgic movie. The TV, DVD and stereo are hidden in an antique jelly cupboard.

This original farm house (circa 1875) is perfect for small groups of family and friends. Downstairs offers a great room with a wood burning fireplace, comfy sitting areas and an antique farm dining table. Two handsome wardrobes are used as accents in the house. The downstairs bedroom has a queen-size bed, and the bath has a clawfoot tub with handheld shower.
We have four guest houses for you to choose from. Soak in your own private bath, warm your toes by the fireplace or just relax on your porch. Every house is its own private refuge. For further relaxation, we offer full spa services and professional massage at our day spa. The Farm has everything to make your stay the ultimate getaway.
The Hideaway began as a single-car garage, later served as an office, and finally became a special accommodation for two. The Hideaway is furnished and decorated with rustic antiques. After a good night's sleep, start the day off in the large, walk-in shower of tumbled marble. Relax in the fresh country air on the wraparound screened porch.
Aside from our day spa and massage services, a favorite activity at the farm is sitting in the swing under the ancient grandfather Oak tree—the very same tree the Comanche probably sheltered beneath. Though the Indians have gone, the Texas peace and quiet remain.
This is the Log Cabin and it provides the absolute ultimate romantic bathing experience. The look of old limestone and plaster walls, a natural limestone floor, and a cedar ceiling supported by ancient juniper beams provide the perfect setting for the whirlpool tub for two tucked into the corner. Their is also a separate shower.
If you're longing for the restaurants and activities of the city, Palo Alto Creek Farm is only five miles from downtown. Get your fill of the hustle and bustle, visit the local wineries, go for a hike among rolling hills, and then come back and relax in your very own whirlpool.
"My wife and I have long been visitors to Palo Alto Creek Farm, a restored 1850s farmstead. A recent change in ownership worried us about until we made a return visit earlier this year. Fortunately, the new owners have preserved just about everything that makes this a winning place to stay.... The location, about 5 miles north of Fredericksburg on an idyllic country road, is far enough to avoid the tourist bustle, but close enough to get into town at a moment's notice. The continental breakfast left in the units before you arrive is a mixture of homemade breads, juices, milk, and other assorted breakfast goodies.... Stay several days and feel the city tension drain away." – Trip Advisor Reviewer, McKinney, TX

This wonderful pioneer farmstead is nestled in the hills just outside Fredericksburg, along the flowing waters of Palo Alto Creek. Palo Alto Creek Farm retains all of its original buildings, providing a visual timeline from 1854 when this farmstead was first settled by German immigrants Peter and Christine Itz and their 6 children. The oldest son Karl later raised a family of 9 children here on the farmstead. The farm remained in the Itz family for more than 100 years, providing a home for 5 generations of the family. Palo Alto Creek Farm continues to offer the hospitality of a time gone by.

4.4 out of 5New B&B Experience
October 24, 2012
We stayed in the "Hideaway" at Palo Alto Creek Farm from 10/20-10/22. This is not your traditional B&B. There are no hosts to greet you and you may or may not see other guests. However, everything you need is in your room. We had cookies waiting for you us when we arrived. They were passed down the family from the owner's grandma. It was a sweet touch. There was fruit in the fridge, muffins, kolaches, breakfast tacos, juice, cereal, milk, etc. The property is peaceful and we felt like we had it all to ourselves. We loved the feel of staying in the country but being only 5 minutes away from Main St. The "Hideaway" is the smallest of the cabins but it has an AMAZING wrap around porch. I'm only giving "service" three stars because we didn't actually see anyone. But like I said, we had everything we could think of. This was an amazing place to stay for the weekend.
