Formally known as Haussegen Platz, Hummingbird Haus is a beautiful historic property that has been recently renovated and is only 1/2 a block from Marktplatz and 1 block from Main Street! This 2 1/2 story Amish home was built in 1770 in Allentown Pennsylvania and was transferred to its forever home in Fredericksburg in 1988 where it was then restored. The home has maintained its charm containing much of the original doors, hardware, windows, wide plank flooring and ceiling beams.
The Hummingbird Haus is located in the Historic District and Commercial District of Downtown Fredericksburg and is within easy walking distance of Fredericksburg's most popular shops, restaurants, Marktplatz, Museum of the Pacific War and is two doors down from the famous Fredericksburg Pie Company!
Whether you're looking to book a girls’ weekend, a family get together, or a couple’s getaway, we can accommodate any need with this stunning 4 bedroom, 3 1/2 bath home with all brand new mattresses, furniture, bedding, linens, etc! Every uniquely designed room has been thought out very carefully with our guests in mind including old antique wood doors as headboards, comfy down comforters and mattresses, box fans in all rooms, makeup vanities and beautiful decor throughout. Sleeping 12, our home offers the space for your large group of friends and family to enjoy your time in Fredericksburg. And the location is unbeatable!!
As you walk into the first floor bedroom, the “Yellow” room, you will be blown away by the original hand painted and stenciled floor and bright décor with two Queen beds, two makeup vanities and a large armoire for hanging up clothes. Also enjoy the assortment of card games while trying not to laugh during “Cards Against Humanity” or “Never Have I Ever”!
The living room is spacious and consists of a large sectional sofa, table and two chairs, beautiful stone fireplace and a 50" Smart TV for streaming ability (No Cable) where you can enjoy a peaceful evening inside taking in the history of the home!
As you walk in the stunning kitchen you will find a large inviting dining table and the original stone fireplace that was used as a wood burning oven! You can see the opening underneath where fire was placed to heat a pot. Such a step back in time! The kitchen is equipped with everything needed to prepare a delicious meal at the house while gathering together including utensils, plates, cookware, spices, microwave, dishwasher, stove, oven, etc. Also enjoy morning coffee at the cute Coffee Bar with an assortment of Keurig coffee pods, creamers and sugars.

After taking in the history of the home on the inside, have a glass of wine outside on the deck on the Hummingbird bench or red Adirondack chairs while smelling the flowers and taking in the beautiful landscaping in front of the Wildflower Cottage, another beautiful historical home available to rent which was built on the property in 1994 and contains the materials from The Hummingbird Haus!! It’s so peaceful sitting outside in the mornings with a fresh brewed cup of coffee listening to the birds chirping and the buzz of the hummingbirds!

We went to Fredericksburg for a friend's surprise engagement. We stayed at Hummingbird and we could not be more pleased. The house was exactly as described and the location could not be better. The rooms were very comfortable and a great time was had by all.

We had a wonderful time at this property! The authentic feel, location and comfort of the home surpassed my expectations. The property is so inviting, immaculately clean, well stocked, and very comfortable. Melissa was an amazing and thoughtful hostess from the beginning. We extended our stay and she also had a second property full of charm available for us as well. I highly recommend her for any stay in the Fredericksburg area. We will definitely be back!

Wonderful house and bungalow, only issue was the flapper on the downstairs toilet, but we took j to consideration that it’s an old house. Would have liked to have known there was not a full size refrigerator in the bungalow. Otherwise Everything was wonderful.

10.0
This property’s quaintness is only surpassed by its location to everything downtown Fredericksburg. It’s next door to a pie shop!
The owner has everything nicely labeled - old houses have quirky wiring….
Only tip is to know that the bathing / showers are upstairs. So if you have someone who has mobility issues, this may be a problem
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hummingbird Haus

This place was perfect for a girls weekend! It was walking distance to the main street with the stores, restaurants, etc. We easily walked back and forth multiple times each day. The house is so adorable, my only warning would be the stairs are very steep! I hope I am able to come back and stay here again. The perfect place!!
10.0
This house is absolutely amazing. It is literally steps from Main Street. The location cannot be beat!! The decor is so charming!! And r story of how the house came to Texas is so interesting! Be sure to look on the market for what the house looked like in 1700!!!!
The house is so big! So much bigger than I thought it would be. It slept our party of 10 very comfortably. Plenty of room to have your own space… The bedrooms with two beds in them are massive. We never felt on top of each other.
Melissa was an amazing host. She answered texts in minutes and even answered the questions I asked that were clearly in the listing that I simply didn’t see! She was so accommodating! I do not have one negative thing to say about this property. If you’re looking for a house in the center of the action then this is it!!

This is a beautiful historic home just one block off the main street in Fredericksburg. It's a perfect location within walking distance to everything: food, nightlife and shopping. The character of the house is unbelievable and made me feel like I had gone back in time. This place is perfect for a big group. And Melissa is very responsive to any question! My friend and I are already talking about coming back with more friends next time!

The place was great, photos are very accurate and signs and notes communicate everything well. Location is perfect with walking distance to downtown. We were only there one night before dropping off at camp—would have been better for a longer stay.
Only complaint — the water didn’t get warm/hot in the 2nd floor shower. Everyone had to shower on the 3rd floor.
Other than that it was great. Would be perfect for a girl’s weekend.

The location is perfect! Although the house is charming, the kitchen could use updated cutlery and cooking supplies. The bedrooms are set up to accommodate large groups which worked well for us. However, the downstairs bedroom is lacking a full size bathroom so we needed to go upstairs to bathe. Overall, we enjoyed our stayed.

We had the best time! Best location the owner was very easy to communicate with! Definitely recommend this place!

We spent the most of our time in the kitchen dining area around the big table, visiting and laughing. The entire house had exactly what we were looking for… Plenty of space to sleep comfortably, but a place together and enjoy each other’s company. And coffee! The outdoor area was perfect for our group to sit and visit as well. Will definitely come back again!

This was by far one of the best houses I have stayed in! The old charm of the house was just amazing. There was plenty of room for everyone to feel comfortable.
We were so close to all the shops and food that we were able to walk everywhere most of the weekend.
Melissa was so helpful and quick to respond to all my questions!
I HIGHLY recommend this house!
