Billie Goat Haus: Hot Tub, Fire Pit, Near Main St

Summary:

Hot tub, fire pit and a big backyard just 1.5 miles from Fredericksburg's Main Street. Billie Goat Haus is a dog-friendly 4-bedroom, 2-bath Hill Country home that sleeps 8, with 2 king and 2 queen beds, an open-concept living space and a fully equipped kitchen. Spend the day on Main Street or touring Wine Road 290 wineries, then come back to a quiet neighborhood to grill, soak and gather around the fire. Ideal for families, friend groups and wine weekends.



The Space:

Step out back and you'll find the heart of this home: a spacious private yard where the hot tub bubbles, the grill heats up for dinner and the fire pit glows late into the evening.



Indoors, the living room, kitchen and dining area flow together as one open space. A large sectional with a built-in chaise sets the scene for movie nights, while the well-stocked kitchen is ready for anything from a lazy breakfast to a group feast.



Four bedrooms sleep eight. Two have king beds and two have queens, each made up with quality linens and a comfortable mattress. The en-suite bath includes a walk-in shower, and the hall bath has a tub/shower combo.



Look for goat-themed touches throughout, a tribute to the Billy Goat, Fredericksburg's beloved mascot and the inspiration behind the name.
