There is nothing better than relaxing with friends and family on the expansive back porch and watching the sunset over the waters of the crystal clear spring-fed lake. The home comfortably sleeps ten with 2 king beds and 3 queen beds. When the final oranges and reds of the sunset have faded, you will have a decision to make. Do you hit Historic Downtown Fredericksburg just ten minutes away for some fun and winery hopping or do you sit in Adirondack chairs around the firepit at the water's edge with wine or s’mores while you watch ten thousand stars wake up one by one? (Our recommendation, do both!) Either way, you can have as much fun and be as loud as you want, you won’t wake up the neighbors. While you are here, this is your own personal estate. Bear Creek Crossing is the perfect place to enjoy the best of both worlds. Gorgeous, relaxing country mornings sipping coffee, watching deer and the occasional exotic play in the meadows across the creek, and your oasis after a day of winery tours and shopping in historic Fredericksburg. This home has been designed for hosting multi-family, couples, and friends getaways with its open space living concept and expansive dining and kitchen areas. From having a family dinner, catch and release fishing, playing horseshoes or playing pool there is so much to do at our home with your loved ones. If you are bringing your children, they will never be bored and might sleep for days. While exploring the property if you don't see abundant wildlife, you might need new glasses. Tell the kids to keep their eyes open for Whitetail deer, and possibly the reclusive wild sheep, Axis, and blackbucks. Also be on the lookout for the plentiful ancient fossils that litter the property (please photo but don't take). We were told there are also fossilized dinosaur footprints on the property but the previous owner is gone. If the kids find them again, your stay is free. This beautiful Texas home comes with a spacious kitchen with brand new appliances, dining space, and living area, making it the best place for you and your loved ones to enjoy a family game night or big cookouts! \*Please note that Bear Creek Main + Barn are on the same property\* If you're planning a family reunion or holiday gathering with a large group of family or friends, consider booking Bear Creek Main + Barn along with German Haus + Guest. When rented together, these accommodations can comfortably host up to 28 guests, making them an ideal choice for memorable get-togethers. \*Wood for the fire pit is not provided Easy Check-In Process We use Happy Guest for a seamless, app-free check-in experience. Just complete your rental agreement, ID verification, and a simple refundable security hold of $1,000 (which is not a traditional security deposit, just a pending transaction) to receive your arrival instructions.

I’m assuming due to the low water level. The information on the property was very vague and the instructions for the property seemed to be a blanket statement for multiple properties. One side of the house seemed to have trouble getting the air conditioner to it as the other side was very cold. Having said all this we had a great time the kids enjoyed kayaking and fishing, walking around all the animals that roamed the property. ##### Roger W.
