Vaughan w/Hot Tub and Grill

Perfect for families and groups of friends who want to relax in the gorgeous Gladheart community in the Texas countryside, Vaughan House is a spacious three-bedroom hideaway that has it all. Newly renovated and updated, Vaughan House welcomes you with a traditional front porch, comfy rocking chairs, and manicured landscaping. Pour yourself a cool drink, have a seat, and stay awhile at Vaughan House— your new home-away-from-home in the Texas Hill Country.

In the main living area, cathedral ceilings add an airy feel to the cozy space. A buttery soft leather sofa and armchair face the copper tiled fireplace that holds a large HDTV. The eye-catching, jewel-toned tiles anchor the room and provide a focal point around which to gather together and watch a movie or simply relax and catnap. The leather sofa pulls out to reveal a comfy queen-size bed.

In the open kitchen, a custom, live-edge wood island has casual bar stool seating for six, while the nearby formal dining table can seat six more. Elegant, glossy dark wood cabinets— some with frosted glass inserts— perfectly contrast with the premier suite of stainless steel appliances. Your whole crew will love to linger here while waiting for the coffee to brew in the mornings.

Vaughan House includes three private, peaceful bedrooms— each with a luxurious, memory foam, king-size bed, and an HDTV. The two full bathrooms are elegant and stylish and include memorable details like a vintage claw-foot tub and natural wood vanities.

In the backyard, a sunny, spacious deck is equipped with comfortable lounge furniture. There’s also a spacious hot tub and an outdoor shower. Gather your whole group around the stone fire pit in the evenings, to sip on some locally sourced wine while toasting marshmallows for s’ mores. Guests of Vaughan House also have access to Gladheart community amenities like a game room with a pool table, a ping pong table, and a jukebox. There’s a horseshoe pit and picnic tables, too. The restaurants and shops of downtown Fredericksburg are only a short drive away.

Things to Note:
-There are outdoor cats on the property that you may encounter during your stay.
-In Texas, there are periods of time without significant rainfall causing the county of Gillespie to place a ban on burning. Please check the current burn ban status, before using the fire pit at a Fredericksburg area vacation rental.
- Utilize the designated parking spaces at your vacation rental.
-Place all trash in designated containers.
- Please be aware that the Texas Hill Country can experience high heat and drought during the summer, which can attract pests to the exterior lights at night. Our properties receive extermination, but guests may encounter pests such as cockroaches, mosquitoes, flies, Rolly Pollies (pill bugs), June bugs, small ants, and spiders, as well as occasional scorpions and small rodents. These are normal critters that come regardless of cleanliness or availability of food.
