Welcome to the Bear Creek Crossing Combo, a picturesque, 235-acre estate sitting above beautiful Bear Creek and overlooking a valley of lush rolling pastures and miles of trails through walnut, cherry, and live oak stands. There is nothing better than relaxing with friends or family and watching the sunset over the waters of the crystal clear spring-fed lake. This combo comfortably sleeps 18 people with 4 bedrooms in the main house and 2 in the barn. When the final oranges and reds of the sunset have faded, you will have a decision to make. Do you hit Historic Downtown Fredericksburg just ten minutes away for some fun and winery hopping or do you sit in Adirondack chairs around the fire pit at the water's edge with wine or s’mores while you watch ten thousand stars wake up one by one? (Our recommendation, do both!) Bear Creek Crossing is the perfect place to enjoy the best of both worlds. Gorgeous, relaxing country mornings sipping coffee, watching deer and the occasional exotic play in the meadows across the creek, and your oasis after a day of winery tours and shopping in historic Fredericksburg. These homes and grounds have been designed for hosting multi-family, friends getaways, and other large groups, with both having open space living designs and expansive dining and kitchen areas. From having a family dinner, catch and release fishing, playing horseshoes, or playing pool there is so much to do at our home with your loved ones. If you are bringing your children, they will never be bored and might sleep for days. There is abundant wildlife on the property so be sure to tell the kids to keep their eyes open for Whitetail deer, and possibly the reclusive wild sheep, Axis, and blackbucks. Also, be on the lookout for the plentiful ancient fossils that litter the property (please photo but don't take them). We were told there are also fossilized dinosaur footprints on the property but the previous owner is gone. If the kids find them again, your stay is free. These beautiful Texas homes come with spacious kitchens with brand new appliances, dining spaces, and living areas, making them the best place for you and your loved ones to enjoy a family game night or big cookouts! *Please note that German Haus + Guest are on the same property* If you're planning a family reunion or holiday gathering with a large group of family or friends, consider booking Bear Creek Main + Barn along with German Haus + Guest. When rented together, these accommodations can comfortably host up to 28 guests, making them an ideal choice for memorable get-togethers.
