Das Kleine Nest, Fredericksburg, Texas
In a fitting testament to this "Little Nest's"
charm as a honeymoon retreat, owners Pat and Toni Keating constructed
a chapel on the premises. But there's a certain irony to this act: The
limestone cottage was built in 1875 by a bachelor for his betrothed---just
before their nuptials were called off.
As the German name suggests, Das Kleine Nest is a tiny
place, a two-room cabin with a spiral staircase that leads to a bedroom
loft. The loft has barely enough room for the queen-size bed it supports;
below, the doll-house-size kitchen spills into the living room.
But for those who don't mind their surroundings cozy---or
who prefer them that way---this snugly fits the bill. The house mixes
antiques and contemporary furnishings, including colorful Mexican-tile
floors and hand-loomed rugs. An enclosed patio at the back door and a
larger patio area in the yard are fine for lounging with a good book.
