Blumenthal Farms is an unassuming Bed and Breakfast Inn that sits on the banks of the Pedernales River between Stonewall and Fredericksburg, Texas. It is not the type of construction you think of when you picture Fredericksburg. It is the construction of penny-wise German farmers. It was built with shiplap and bead board. When they had made a little money, the exterior was covered with pressed tin and painted. They were frugal...nothing went to waste. Their tank house was fancier for it was made of hand-hewn limestone rock about two feet thick. It has a cellar to store root crops, home-made wine and to hide from the fierce storms that could come across the area.
Blumenthal is and was a small farming and ranching community. The buildings here tied the people together. The Hohenberger brothers were the original developers of the place. They had a cotton gin, blacksmith shop, saloon and a dance hall turned store. It's been said that they used to have softball tournaments out in the field every Sunday. That would be a fun thing to revive. Times have changed. The brothers, cotton gin and blacksmith shop are long gone.
The saloon, store, farmhouse and the cotton gin steam engine still remain. The B&B is housed in the saloon and old store. We are close to many of the wineries in the area and other area attractions. Shopping in downtown Fredericksburg is just 10 minutes away. When you stay with us, we invite you to come over to the main house for breakfast and we guarantee that you will not go away hungry!
