Baron's Creekside in Fredericksburg
When Daniel Meyer was on a cross country trip visiting the United States from his native Switzerland in 2006, he stopped in Fredericksburg. He fell in love with the area, and bought 26 acres just east of town. He had a 250 year old Swiss farmhouse shipped in from his homeland, and used many of the materials from the farmhouse to build his own Swiss Log Cabin Village on his new homestead. Over the years, with care and meticulous attention to detail, Daniel has built an oasis perfect for family getaways and other special occasions. (Oh ya – there’s also a vineyard on property – how cool!)
