1869
steamboat gothic architecture and enjoy a totally
restored monument
to a German craftsman's building skills. This is the oldest continuously
inhabited residence built in Gonzales!
Sit in front of a cozy fire in
the large country kitchen with its twenty-foot high ceiling;
snooze in the
master bedroom with its own
fireplace and a mantel carved
and signed by Mr. Fauth;
soak in the sunken whirlpool
tub-for-two!
For a romantic getaway or for a fun "shopping for antiques"
adventure with your friends, make your reservations for the John Fauth Cottage
now. This private guest house has central air conditioning/heating,
full kitchen, wireless high-speed internet, color TV, VCR, DVD/CD player, and sleeping accommodations for
one to
seven guests.
Lodging in a guest cottage
is more romantic than lodging in a
bed and breakfast inn because you rent the complete private cottage during your
stay in Gonzales, TX.

"Recalling 140 Texas Christmases, The John Fauth
Guest Cottage
sings a delightful new refrain this Christmas. The fanciful, Gothic-inspired
cottage, built in 1867 by German-emigrant craftsman, John Fauth, is now a
delightful bed and breakfast “cottage rental.” Thanks to the resolve of current
owners Bill and Mayron Cole, visitors from far and wide can celebrate Christmas
in this picture-perfect example of cottage style in early Texas".....Featured
