Conveniently located near Round Top's historic town square where
you will find restaurants and the Festival Hill concert hall.This authentic German "Sunday Haus" is nestled under cedar and oak trees, giving complete privacy and spiritual comfort. With her interior decorations, Elisa has remembered her ancestors in Germany and has honored the German immigrants who came to Texas beginning in 1840. The entire house is yours to enjoy. The fully functional kitchen, with coffeemaker, microwave, oven and refrigerator, comes stocked with coffee, milk, tea, eggs, bread, cookies, chocolate and continental breakfast selections. Complete with central air and heat, DVD, radio, CD library, beautifully painted furniture, wood floors, windows with private views in all directions, bathroom with shower and antique clawfoot bathtub, 2 bedrooms with queen beds made up with luxurious linens and German feather-beds. A wrap-around porch invites bird watching and relaxation.
We invite you to take time to sit on the porch to watch the lively birds, colorful butterflies, hummingbirds, acres of green grass, flowers by the thousands, fireflies and cicadas in summer and often a clear sky with the moon and stars at night. You are invited to wander along stone pathways and visit the garden, the dry creek on our nature walks through the woods and visit the "The Ghost House", a 100-year-old saltbox, immigrant house that Elisa found abandoned in poor condition. She had it moved to her property and restored dating back to the 1870's to its original simplistic beauty. The Ghost Haus is now ready to accommodate up to 5 guests.
In 2002, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department awarded Elisa the official
TEXAS WILDSCAPE certification for her garden and 7 acres of wooded land.
Her garden is filled with native plants, shrubs and trees that provide fruit, nuts,
berries, seeds and nectar to a wide variety of birds, hummingbirds and butterflies.
Sit around the tranquil firepit circle that can easily seat 40 people.
The Pioneer Haus, lovingly known as the Ghost Haus, dates back to the 1870's. The Ghost Haus was rescued from a nearby farm in 2001 and moved to Elisa's property. Now, nestled at the edge of a wooded area, the Ghost Haus has a beautiful view of an adjoining meadow. When you stay with us ask Elisa to tell you the story of the Ghost Haus. The front porch swing is an ideal place for experiencing the sights and sounds of nature and for stargazing at night. Deer are often seen as well as soaring prairie hawks and the "songs" of the coyotes can sometimes be heard in the nearby woods. The Ghost Haus provides children a great learning experience about the lifestyle of the early immigrants.
The Ghost Haus has a large wood-burning fireplace and a beautiful kitchen. The view through the trees from the large upstairs bedroom gives one the feeling of being in a tree house. The house can accommodate up to 5 people with 3 single beds upstairs in one large bedroom and a trundle bed which makes one queen or two twin size beds, downstairs. In the pioneer tradition, the luxurious bathhouse is just a few steps away from the house, conveniently connected by a deck. The modern bathroom with a huge walk-in shower provides all the comforts of today in beautiful wooded surroundings. Guests are invited to relax at the nearby fire pit and BBQ area beneath a canopy of towering oaks. Prior arrangements must be made for children. Prior arrangements must be made for pets.
