Owner Dr. Daniel Meyer, from Switzerland, sold his cereal company in Switzerland (he invented the cereal cup stacked on top of the yoghurt) in 2001. He then travelled with a back bag around the most remote and wild places in the world, visiting over 120 countries. In 2006 he fell in love with the Texas Hill Country on a U.S. trip. He spent one Fredericksburg night in -what is now- The Barons Log Cabin, and decided to buy the 26 acres and create his own Swiss Log Cabin village on what was then a undeveloped pasture. Sustainability has always been a high priority.
First, he built a continuously-flowing Alpine-style creek including a waterfall, thousands of hand-placed boulders and rocks. Then he planted more than 150 native Texas trees and renovated the existing Hilltop Chalet, Big Lodge, Victorian, and Mesquite Farmhouse. And then he began building his own Swiss Log Cabin village right in the heart of the property along his beautiful, bubbling mountain-style creek.
Using the historic elements of his own 250 year-old Swiss farmhouse, and finding the most talented Texas cabin builder Joey Johns, he set out to build his dream village, one cabin at a time. Daniel owned the large Swiss farmhouse in scenic Lucerne that was condemned for demolition. He had the historic windows, doors and antiques carefully removed and shipped to Texas. From the 250 year old doors, windows and antiques he created the individual Swiss Log Cabins.
The Log Cabins are perfect for couples focused on romance and re-connection. We are THE ROMANTIC GETAWAY in the Hill Country and perfect for honeymoons, anniversaries, proposals, birthdays….!
The four family houses are loved by families or groups of friends who want common space and camaraderie. Also the perfect place for small company retreats! The Club, is the icing on the cake for guests from all over the property to mingle, relax, listen to music, and soak up the unique charm of Barons CreekSide. In 2017, the beautiful vineyard between the cabins has been established!
Nature plays an integral role in this Swiss-inspired Hill Country resort. Tame non-flying ducks swim up and down the bubbling creek, the owner’s cats roam the property and greet the guests. Numerous whitetail deer, armadillos, squirrels, a few raccoons, and gray foxes have been known to frequent the landscape. We invite our guests to stroll along the nature trail to see what might be residing along the real Barons Creek, too.
Barons Creekside was chosen by Cabela’s and Woolrich as their photo location for their catalogs. As well as by reality TV shows. Barons CreekSide is truly a feast for all the senses.
Daniel’s Swiss mountain village in Texas has succeeded beyond his wildest dreams. He then met the native Texas Lady Deborah who shares his enthusiasm and passion for Barons CreekSide. Special events, weddings, anniversaries, honeymoons, reunions, birthdays, proposals, corporate retreats, have been celebrated at Barons CreekSide. We are proud to see that a huge number of our guests are frequent repeats. We cordially invite you to stay at Barons CreekSide and experience this slice of Swiss heaven right in the heart of Fredericksburg, Texas.
