Historic but Completely Updated and Dog-Friendly Farmhouse - Close to Wineries

White Dairy Guesthouse

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Become part of the rich history of this four-bedroom Fredericksburg farmhouse, a spacious, century-old home with front and back porches for gatherings of family and friends in the heart of the Texas Wine Country.

Built in 1910 and farmed by the same family for three generations, this house sits on a two-acre plot surrounded by 38 acres overlooking the iconic Texas Hill Country Hilltop. You'll be within minutes of Grape Creek Vineyards and other popular winemakers on the Highway 290 Wine Trail, and just seven miles from the heart of downtown Fredericksburg. Enjoy yard games with your family.

Designated by the state of Texas as a Family Land Heritage Site, this two-level home has a long, storied history of hospitality. As a former boarding house in the 1920s, it has since been entirely updated - offering large rooms, an abundance of sunlight, and 3,000 square feet of living space for family get-togethers, getaways with special friends, and business or church retreats.

Step inside to find two living areas with beautiful hardwood floors, vintage furnishings, and air conditioning to keep you cool in the summer. The kitchen is modern and elegant, offering pristine white cabinets and stainless steel appliances that include a gas range and a dishwasher.

With four bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms, White Dairy Guesthouse can accommodate as many as 10 guests, and up to two dogs are also welcome for an additional nightly pet fee. You'll find one bedroom with a king-size bed, two bedrooms with a queen-size bed apiece, and one bedroom with a double bed that connects to the “sunrise porch” and offers a pair of twin beds. There's even a private laundry room to refresh your wardrobe after long walks through downtown Fredericksburg.

Head into downtown Fredericksburg to see more than 80 points of interest in the National Historic District, or pick up some local produce at the seasonal farmers market. Luckenbach Texas' funky post office, general store, and iconic country dance hall are located just six miles south. And you'll be just 10 miles west of Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park, the place where the 36th president was born, lived, and is now buried.

Beautiful Farm House

A beautifully renovated farm home with lots of comfort and room for multiple families or friends. We love the country so staying here was peaceful and relaxing. The landscape and friendly cows was an extra added plus! Away from town, which we enjoy but close enough to Luckenbach or Fredericksburg.

Quaint space for a friends get away

We loved staying at the White Dairy Guesthouse. It was perfect for 4 couples. It’s hard to find a home that can accommodate 4 separate couples in different rooms at a reasonable price and this was perfect for what we needed. We loved the light up windmill at night which helped us find the driveway when it was dark. The three full bathrooms were so helpful for everyone getting ready. The location was also amazing as the property was on some land but was only a few miles from town and close to all our favorite wineries and breweries. We had an amazing weekend with lots of laughter and great memories were made!

Family staying at the White Dairy Farmhouse

Our stay at the White Dairy Farmhouse exceeded our expectations. The house is very roomy and extra clean. It is close to Luckenbach and Fredericksburg’s Main Street - really great location. It reminded us of our grandmother at the farm house - loved it. Just one suggestion is to update the television for more television showchoices.

Great Large Group House

The house was cool when we arrived- thank goodness! The house had a great rustic feel. We had no issues except that the porch where one person slept was a bit warm all day, but it cooled off in the evening. There were a couple of lights that didn’t work, but we do intend to return! It was a great house for a large group. Thanks!!!

Beware - very poor experience

Overall a very poor experience with the quality of the house and local Vacasa support/management. Upon walking into the house - Dead bugs through out the house Dirty carpet in the kitchen Clogged plumbing I have multiple pictures to share (but there is no option to upload). Even the local cleaning crew that (eventually) came by recognized the dirty issues. Vacasa claim is it’s “rustic” and “summer bugs” so beware of what you sign up for. Definitely not with the price charged for the house.

New Year's Stay

We were very pleased with the house. I think there could have definitely been a little more flexibility with our stay. It definitely needs more linens (blankets) available to the guests. It was very cold while we were there. It is close to town which is nice. We enjoyed the big yard and the firepit. Thank you

Lots of space, great location

The house has tons of charm, plenty of space, and is so close to Fredericksburg and many vineyards. It’s very peaceful and we enjoyed the big yard, fire pit and porches. The beds and linens were lovely and we all slept well (five adults and three teens). The two teen boys lives the two twin beds on the enclosed porch. Plenty of bathrooms too. The oven broke and a new one was not able to be delivered before our stay. We were alerted the day before and had to replan meals. We were offered $150 off. The house is very clean inside, but if you have someone in your group uncomfortable with bugs, I’d think twice. The yard was hopping with grasshoppers/crickets, spiders (mostly daddy long legs), ants, and cicadas. We also saw a scorpion in the house (son killed it). We enjoyed our stay.

Nice weekend

Beautiful old farmhouse! House was very clean and spacious. We had 3 couples staying, but there was plenty more room for additional people/kids. No central a/c (listed as "partial"), but the wall units kept us comfortably cool in the summer heat. Very near Hwy 290 and the fast cars, but only minimal road noise. The windmill was a very good landmark to help us find the house back daily - and close to lots of wineries - away from downtown crowds.

Wonderful location for wineries and Luchenbach

We spent two nights and loved the cleanliness and bedding! Also enjoyed the firepit and the pretty cattle across the back fence. The interior is as spotless as shown in the pictures. Would echo the other reviewers that the waterflow from the showers is quite weak. We found the A/c units easy to use as each room has its own. The location worked out great for us. Close to Alstadt, Signor, and Luchjenbach. Easy drive into Fredericksburg too, Would definitely return!

The ultimate farmhouse experience!

If you are looking for a unique property that has a ton of character and provides all the amenities you will need in beautiful Fredericksburg. A group of family and friends get together and it was the perfect place for being together but having some private space as well. Beds were super comfy and the porches are a peaceful place to relax. The best location located across from Alstadt brewery and wind seed farms. The entrance could be better with an electronic gate and maybe a turning lane but certainly a beautiful stay.

Family Gathering

This farmhouse was very comfortable with great beds, plenty of seating , nice porches. There was plenty of room for children to run around and not break anything. The location was good, easy to get into Fredericksburg. A few minor issues.....low , low, low water pressure in all the bathrooms, but plenty of hot water! The entrance needs lighting to be seen at night....it’s easy to miss, as several of us did coming back to the house at night. And we could not, any of us figure out the ac/heating system...and it got very warm, and the system was on “heat” mode....true the weather was all over the place and we needed to be able to adjust it. Overall a great weekend stay!
