Most art and artisanal pieces on display at any given time at Starry’s Studio are available for sale. Starry’s Studio is nestled behind a historic home on East Creek Street, one of Fredericksburg’s beautiful wide, tree-lined thoroughfares just off Main Street in what was once referred to as the town’s “Garden District.” The property’s main home was built in 1906 with an addition and connecting breezeway completed in 1951. The same year, home owner Walter Hayden (Ossie) Osbourn (No, not that Ozzy Osbourne.) built a separate structure behind the home for a workshop and smokehouse where he tanned leather, made furniture, smoked meats from his family’s ranch, and made homemade wines from mustang grapes, agarita berries and local peaches. Ossie’s daughter Melissa (Osbourn) Starry grew up in the house, and, after living in Austin and Houston for nineteen years, she took over the property in 1989 and moved back to Fredericksburg with her husband Ron Starry to raise their young daughter Sarah in this idyllic small town. That year, Ossie’s old workshop underwent its first major renovation when it became stylist and photographer Melissa’s hair salon and dark room. Melissa named her salon, Starry’s Studio, which was a popular local business for over a decade, welcoming such esteemed clients as Lady Bird Johnson. In 2000, the space was converted to Melissa’s art studio where she honed the painting and mixed media talent for which she has since won local notoriety and awards. In 2015 another big renovation began and today, one hundred and ten years after the original home was built, Melissa and Ron Starry are thrilled to welcome visitors to the newest iteration of Starry’s Studio, a luxury guest house in the heart of Fredericksburg.

Perfect for a weekend getaway
Location, location location! This little studio was a great home base for our 4th anniversary weekend getaway to Fredericksburg. The hosts made our experience feel very personal and comfortable. The deck overlooking the creek was a nice touch (tons of deer) as was the outdoor shower. Highly recommend this place!

Wonderful weekend get-away!
First opportunity for my wife and I to have some much needed time away, and Starry's Studio was a breath of fresh air! From the local artwork, to the location, and the snacks and treats awaiting our arrival, everything was perfect! (Including the ice cold Topo Chico in the fridge!) We had a great time and will look forward to staying with you again!

Best Unique Get-Away Stay!
The most unique, modern, yet warm and cozy little place. A wonderful use of space, style combinations, decor & amenities. The little breakfast/reading nook was so quaint & the back patio, such a beautiful and relaxing space! Will be staying here anytime we visit FB & will recommend to all others! Thanks for a great experience, Starrys.

Cozy Contemporary Charm in the heart of Fredricksburg
This is such a cool place. Former artist studio filled with art and light. Great deck off the back. Wonderful kitchen and bath. You could stay here comfortably for days. Quick walk to main street. This was a wonderful find. Not inexpensive, but well worth it. Contemporary style is a nice relief from the sometimes heavy Fredricksburg old country charm.

Just Perfect!
My mom, sister and I arrived to a personalized bottle of a Texas wine, cheese and grapes in the refrigerator along with a handwritten note welcoming us! Newly updated and 1 block from Main St this was truly somewhere we'll definitely comeback to. It was just perfect for an early Mother's Day celebration or a getaway for a married couple...it as "Just Perfect!"

Booking and interactions with owner - Top Notch!
We booked this almost immediately when we saw the article in the Austin paper. Sarah (owner) is amazing and really has a passion for people to enjoy the town. We got an email with all the things to do, eat, shop, hike, etc that was as good as anything we have gotten from staying in a big city hotel. Sarah was also very interested in her guest opinions and how she could improve the space. Can't wait to go see the location but if the interaction on booking was any indication, we are impressed.

About the neighbourhood
Starry’s Studio is positioned a quick two blocks off Fredericksburg’s central Main Street area in a breezy, tree-lined neighborhood once referred to as the town’s Garden District. An absolutely ideal location, it is one block from award-winning restaurant August E’s and quaint Woerner Warehouse, equally close to hotspots like Sozial Haus and Lincoln Street, half a block from a bicycle rental shop and mere steps from all the shopping, dining, entertainment and arts that make Fredericksburg, Texas the consummate Hill Country destination. Search online for us, and click the 'LOCAL' tab to see a block by block guide of what we think you will love in Fredericksburg.
Getting around
Once in town, park your car and lose your keys. Almost every attraction is steps away. And we are only a short drive to the local vineyards, golf courses & nature-driven attractions like Enchanted Rock.
How to get there
Not from Texas? Fly to either Austin or San Antonio, and you are just an hour from Fredericksburg and Texas' biggest prize, the beautiful Hill Country. All highways eventually lead you to Main St when driving into town, and we are positioned just two blocks south of the heart of Main. You will have a private entrance through wooden gate, with fenced off front terrace and private back deck overlooking Barrons Creek. There are no shared spaces.
