We just wrapped up a four-night stay at Settlers Crossing. We had been hoping to return since our last stay around nine years ago, and we were not disappointed. Both times, we stayed in the frontier cabin. It's a nice place, spotlessly clean and full of historic charm. The beds are comfortable. The ranch itself is peaceful and interesting, and we enjoy seeing the animals that roam its acres. Melissa is very helpful and accommodating. The location is great, too, very close to Fredericksburg, which has a lot to see and do and plenty of restaurants. It's also close to Enchanted Rock, which makes for a great day trip.

A picturesque a safe place surrounded by green and native nature...worthwhile! We enjoyed almost 4 days with my son visiting the vineyard country. A very comfortable cabin with all the amenities and goodies any visitor would expect.
I have travel worldwide for business and personal reasons and this is a UNIQUE place!
Nearby activities: Located in the middle of the wine country, 5 miles far from Fredericksburg, TX. Great places to visit at hand (enchanted rock, vineyards, state parks, nice restaurants...)

This was a Mother, Daughter & Granddaughter weekend. We stayed in the Bohl Cabin and we enjoyed ourselves so very much! The Donkey (we called Pedro) and the Sheep welcomed us every day. We are looking forward to staying in another one of your homes.

If you are looking for fancy, spoiling attention and cuisine, this is not the place for you. If you were looking to sit out back and enjoy a glass of the local wine purchased from a winery within a mile, or have the sheep and the donkeys come up and visit you while you sit outside in the morning for coffee, then this is the place for you. If you want to decompress and watch the deer cross through the Meadow, then this is where you wanna be. We stayed in the Indiana house. There are just two of us and it was perfect for us. I love the self check in as we had just come from Austin and I wanted some quiet time.. That's what you're gonna get here. The owner did come by the next morning and she was pleasant, telling me the names and the history of the donkey in the area. Our house is the closest one to the street and there is some traffic noise on what used to be country Road. She apologized for that but I told her no apologies necessary! Next time we will probably go farther back on the property because we took a drive back there and it's amazing. I really do hope there is a next time. I will post some pictures in this review but I do need to warn you if you are looking for an accessible place to stay, This is probably not the best choice; it is rough country. Both of us are seniors and we're making it around just fine but if you have mobility issues, I would recommend a cane or trekking pole just for extra stability. There is not much lighting outside at night. But of course, that makes the stars all the brighter.

I've stayed in several properties in the hill country and this is by far my favorite. It's away from the hustle and bustle but close enough to enjoy all that Fredericksburg has to offer. Wineries are within a mile, Main Street a short 10 minutes and Luckenbach less than 5 minutes
Rooms: Beautifully furnished in antiques and period pieces.
Nearby activities: Less than 1 mile from wineries, 10 minutes to Main Street and 5 minutes to Luckenbach

Just had a wonderful weekend getaway at Settlers Crossing. My husband and I arrived with our pup to a precious little cabin that was perfect for our family. We loved wondering around the property and seeing all of the wildlife, especially the mini donkey! Check in was easy as could be and our little cabin was stocked with the essentials. We have already booked another stay and cannot wait to come back with our friends in a couple of months! 10/10 would recommended!

The Owner was extremely aggressive & threatening & made us feel UNSAFE! It was a miserable awakening the first morning. The lady was beating on the door & trying to force her way in. I was asleep. She identified herself as the Owner & accused us of deliberately using the wrong cabin & trashing the place, using candles & being drunk. She was completely rude & threatening. This could have been resolved in a cordial, professional manner, since it was an obvious misunderstanding caused by inaccurate information presented to us & a late arrival on a rainy night with thunderstorms. As other reviews have stated, there were no check-in instructions, especially booking through AirBnB. We had no idea that we checked into the wrong cabin at 9:00 PM being dark & rainy. No instructions other than an address, which took us to her house, directly across from this cabin. No description or map to the cabin. It only said “the key is in the door” & the picture of the door with the wreath looked like the one on the website, so we went in. She should’ve checked AirBNB herself instead of blaming us! Regardless, she could have been polite instead of scaring the hell out of us with her false accusations and aggressive behavior! We had one glass of wine last night with LED Candles and then went to bed! DANGER!! Beautiful property but UNSTABLE owner!

1 of a kind experience! Bohl cabin was rooted in historic details with all today’s comfort - Loved the sheep grazing out my bedroom window. Felt transported and pampered - perfect getaway. And the host was out of sight but immediately available when I had a question. Incredible hospitality and charm! Will go back and try a different ‘house’ at Settlers the next time I’m in TX hill country!

Charming is its middle name! We absolutely loved our stay. Amazing service, very clean cabins with modern amenities and so much charm and beauty in the cabin interior design. LOVED!

Amazing property! I have stayed in 5 of the 7 houses at Settlers Crossing. Each is well appointed in beautiful antiques and period pieces, but does not skimp on comfort. Sitting outside enjoying a cup of coffee is my favorite thing. The animals that reside on the property remind me of a picturesque English country home. I've stayed in several properties in the hill country and this is by far my favorite. It's away from the hustle and bustle but close enough to enjoy all that Fredericksburg has to offer. Wineries are within a mile, Main Street a short 10 minutes and Luckenbach less than 5 minutes.

Beautiful property but not worth $500/night and UNSTABLE owner!UPDATE- There is definitely no "he said, she said" here. I have video of this very bad person's aggressive behavior if anyone is interested. Let me know here. Also, that other Alias is my wife, not me, Lady! You pissed her off!

I seriously cannot describe how unique and magical this place was for me. We booked through a third party and got no instructions on the check-in process. Had we booked directly with the hotel, we would had that---note. We were greeted by all sorts of animals driving up into the area. Immediately I started getting all giddy like a schoolgirl. The slow drive to The Kusenberger Log Cabin was built at Settlers Crossing in 1847 and is now the oldest house built by the settlers outside of Fredricksburg, Texas. I was expecting a traditional hotel-style greeting. I called the hotel, and they said to drive to the home, and the keys were in the door. OMG! Y'all, listen. I was not prepared. I am a huge fan of history and follow this Youtube cooking channel called Early American that prepares old recipes in an old colonial home. I felt like I was in that show! What's even more impressive is that if it was in the winter, we could have set a fire! Oh, now you know I'm headed back! The decor and furniture look like it is from the 1800s. There is a ladder that climbs to a loft. I started climbing and my husband said, "get down Laura Ingalls" lol. In all, if you can stay in one of these homes, do especially if you are a history fan. Settlers Crossing has set the bar high for all other hotels to come!
