"It was the French toast that left me speechless: perfectly crispy on the outside, rich and custardy inside. Without a doubt, the best French toast of my life."
Nadia A., Google review (quoted on porterhausfredericksburg.com)"Karen's cooking is out of this world, and worth the stay alone. She accommodates all dietary preferences quite deliciously."
Eron Z., Google review (quoted on porterhausfredericksburg.com)"Rooms are beautiful, quiet, beyond spotless, private, and the beds, oh my Lord, the beds."

Wildflower, Hummingbird, and Rosewood open off a private guest retreat with its own keyless exterior entry. Come and go on your own schedule. Minimum stay is two nights; current rates are shown on our booking page.
Breakfast
Every morning starts with a made-from-scratch, country-gourmet breakfast. The kind of cooking guests bring up long after they've checked out.
It's not a continental spread in a lobby. It's breakfast at a table, in a house, made by someone who wants you to enjoy it.
Your Hosts
Porter Haus is Rick and Karen Porter's own 14-plus acre hilltop home, and since they opened their doors in December 2019, they've run it themselves. Which is the difference guests mention most.
You won't find a front desk here. You'll find two people who remember your name, ask about your dietary needs before you arrive, and are genuinely glad you came.
Local Guide
Ten minutes from Main Street, a world away. The property sits on top of a hill on Highway 16 toward Llano. What follows is independent travel information about the area, not a promise from the inn.
Free to stroll · about 10 minutes by car
Fredericksburg was founded by German settlers in 1846, and Main Street still carries it: stone storefronts, the Vereins Kirche museum in the Marktplatz, German bakeries and biergartens. Evening parking fills fast on weekends; go early or let Rick shuttle you in.
Paid admission · about 10 minutes by car, 311 E Austin St
Admiral Nimitz's hometown museum is one of the best WWII museums in the country. Plan half a day; the Pacific Combat Zone reenactments run on select dates.
Paid entry, reservation required · about 18 miles, roughly 25 minutes by car
The pink granite dome is Texas Hill Country's icon. Day passes sell out, especially on weekends, so book online before you go. Sunrise hikes are the move.
Tastings paid · 15 to 25 minutes by car east of town
Dozens of wineries, breweries, and distilleries line Highway 290 toward Johnson City. Ask Rick about his private 5-hour winery tour or a ride-only option; tours are arranged by phone at least two days ahead.
Small entry fee, seasonal · about 30 minutes south by car
From May to October, millions of bats pour out of the old railroad tunnel at dusk. A genuinely strange and wonderful evening out.
Free · on the property
In spring the driveway blooms with acres of wildflowers, and the property's own half-mile walking trail winds through native plants and post oak trees. Deer, fox, and wild turkeys treat the grounds like their own.
