We’re not your average resort. Sure, we’ve got cozy cottages, but we’ve also got courts that will make you want to serve up some serious competition (or just enjoy a friendly game with your new bestie). Whether you’re here to perfect your backhand, chill out in a hammock, or enjoy a cold drink after a competitive round, we’ve got something for everyone.
But that’s just the beginning. Our location? Perfection. We’re just minutes from the famed 290 Wine Trail (yes, that’s wine with a capital W), and a short drive from downtown Fredericksburg—the mecca of small-town shopping, art, and decor. Did we mention the wine? Oh, wait… we already did. But just in case you missed it, we’ve also got distilleries and breweries serving up some of the finest spirits this side of the Pedernales River. It’s basically a sip and swing dream come true.
Each of our cottages is designed to help you unwind in style. Think vintage records for the perfect soundtrack to your stay, a telescope for stargazing (because who doesn’t love a little cosmic wonder?), and retro games to spark some friendly competition. Want to really kick back? Your own personal hot tub, fire pit, and cozy sitting areas are just waiting for you to relax, recharge, and enjoy the good life.
Welcome to Laurel Court Cottages. We’re thrilled to share a little bit about ourselves and what drives us to make your stay a memorable one.
Matthew and Kimberley Franek are the proud owners and hosts. As avid travelers, we share a passion for creating welcoming spaces, providing exceptional service, and meeting wonderful guests from all over the world. Our story is long but here’s how we arrived to our little house on a hill and the Laurel Court Cottage project. When Kim and I first met at Southwest Texas State University we frequently made day trips to Fredericksburg and visited Kim’s family ranch. Ever since, the hill country has been our home for the majority of our 30-year marriage. Our daughter Savanah Grace was born in 2003 and our son Cash Wyatt came into the world in 2011. After a long 6 month stay in NICU and learning what life looked like with a special-needs child, we finally made Fredericksburg our home. We fell deeply for the community and land, but the Lord had other plans. A move to Boerne for Cash’ medical needs lasted 6 years but eventually we got back to Gillespie County and to our current location. We decided to turn our dream of running a cozy, charming bed and breakfast into a reality when we discovered this beautiful property. With a shared commitment to offering a home away from home, we transformed it into a peaceful retreat for travelers seeking comfort, fun and local charm.
In addition to acting as the “Innkeeper”, Matthew is a partner of Texas Ranch Kings Realty, if you are considering purchasing property, give him a call. Kimberley is the full time Innkeeper and Savanah is one of New Braunfels newest teachers. Cash tells us all what to do. LOL.
We are located within 10 miles to the top wineries in the Texas Hill Country. We share the same road with Becker Vineyard and Foyt Winery. We are 14 miles to downtown Fredericksburg one direction and 21 minutes to Johnson City the other direction. Luckenbach is 4 miles from Laurel Court Cottages.
