Summary:
Tucked just steps from the Messina Hof tasting room and only a 10-minute drive from historic downtown Fredericksburg, Messina Cabin offers an inviting escape in the heart of Texas Wine Country. This thoughtfully designed rental features an artful blend of German and Italian influences, creating a warm and elegant atmosphere perfect for couples or solo travelers.
The Space:
Inside, the spacious bedroom is anchored by a romantic king-size canopy bed, offering comfort and style in equal measure. The bathroom features a large walk-in shower and modern amenities for a spa-like experience.
Begin your mornings with a light breakfast and a freshly brewed pot of coffee at the well-equipped wet bar, complete with a sink, microwave, and mini fridge. Then step outside to the back patio, where a bistro table invites you to sip your coffee or wine while watching the sunrise or sunset—and perhaps even catch a glimpse of wildlife roaming nearby.
Messina Cabin is one of four private rentals in a charming complex on the winery grounds. These suites can be reserved individually for a quiet getaway or together for a larger group retreat.
Whether you’re a wine enthusiast or simply seeking a serene escape, Messina Cabin offers comfort, character, and proximity to everything Fredericksburg has to offer.
Please note that due to safety considerations associated with the winery setting, children under 12 are not permitted.
Guest Access:
✅ This property has special local compliance requirements which include a signed rental agreement, ID verification, and a security hold of $1000 (which is not a traditional security deposit, just a pending transaction). As an optional alternative to the security hold, you may opt in to purchase a non-refundable damage waiver provided by a third-party insurance company. The optional damage waiver is $53.00 for stays up to 10 nights, with an additional $1.5 per day for stays longer than 10 nights. Damage waiver purchases are optional.
To make this process easy for you, we use a secure and very simple, app-free platform called Happy Guest. It is not an app, and you do not have to sign up for an account - it’s a safe and secure website. It also gives you a guest portal with all the info about the home and all of my favorite local spots.
