Summary:
This tiny cabin with enormous amounts of style will be your new favorite home base in the gorgeous Texas Hill Country. An ideal, romantic spot for two, this small space is filled with lovely natural light and surrounded by visiting local wildlife. You’ll have the feel of a secluded camping spot with all the luxury of a premier hotel room. If you are tired of renting the usual, typical space and want to enjoy a home that’s a truly unique experience, Selena is ready and waiting for you.
The Space:
The exterior of Selena is finished with gorgeous natural wood siding and sleek, contemporary windows. A tiny front stoop leads up to the elegant, chic front door with horizontal glass inlays. Once inside, you’ll be pleasantly surprised at the open and bright vibes. The large windows let in tons of natural, dappled Texas sunshine, and the crisp white shiplap walls add to the bright vibes. A plush, velvety-soft gray sofa faces the flatscreen HDTV. In the evening, you’ll want to relax here with a classic old movie and a bottle of wine from a local vineyard.
The kitchenette features plenty of storage for your wine and snacks, plus an ice-cold mini-fridge. There’s also a stylish butcher block countertop and a microwave. The premier coffee maker will brew a delicious morning cup of joe for you.
When you’re ready to hit the hay, a luxurious queen-size bed is wrapped in premier, hotel-quality linens. The large windows are easily covered with luxe privacy shades. In the bathroom, there’s a spacious step-in shower tiled with Carrera-marble subway tiles on the walls and a dark river rock tile on the floor.
Selena is located on a lovely stretch of 13 acres in the heart of Texas Hill Country— so you’ll have the seclusion and peacefulness you crave, while still only being a few minutes away from Main Street in downtown Fredericksburg. A cozy fire pit with two Adirondack chairs is the ideal spot to unwind and immerse yourself in the surrounding rustic beauty. You can relax and recharge at your private tiny home, then head into town when you want to enjoy delicious local dining, eclectic shopping, beautiful local vineyards, and even some fun nightlife or a date night out on the town. It’s all here waiting for you at Selena.
