Fredericksburg Cabins with Bathtub Views: Amazing 2026 Guide

Written by the Stay Onera Fredericksburg Editorial Team | Luxury Accommodations, Fredericksburg, TX | Updated October 2026

This guide is based on our experience as the team behind Stay Onera Fredericksburg. Every week we answer questions from guests trying to figure out the difference between a hot tub, a soaking tub, and a clawfoot tub, and which one actually suits their trip. The recommendations here combine what we hear at check-in with research across official property sites, booking platforms, and city and state sources.

Disclosure: Stay Onera Fredericksburg units are our own accommodations, so they appear here because we know them through daily operations and guest feedback. We also list nine independently operated cabins so you can compare honestly. Rates, review counts, and distances reflect the latest data available as of October 2026 and change often. We review and update this guide regularly.

En Fredericksburg cabins with bathtub views and soaking tubs that guests remember are almost never the ones with the biggest tub. 

They are the ones where the tub faces something worth looking at. We learned this the slow way, watching which of our units book out first and which photos guests send back to us afterward.

It is rarely the interior shot. It is the one taken from inside a cedar tub at dusk, looking at oak canopy or Barron’s Creek.

We would genuinely rather answer it now than fix it later.

This guide separates them by what actually differs: tub type, what you see from it, how far you are from Main Street, and what each place costs.

What “Bathtub Views” Actually Means: Soaking Tub vs Hot Tub vs Clawfoot in Fredericksburg

Guests use these words interchangeably. Property listings don’t. Booking the wrong one is the single most common mistake we see, and it usually gets discovered around 9 p.m. on arrival night.

Tub type	What it is	Heats to	Typical location	Best for
Bañera de cedro climatizada	Deep wooden tub, filled fresh, heated for your stay	Warm bath temperature	Outdoor deck or private grove	Quiet soaking, two people, nature views
Hot tub/spa	Circulating jets, chemically treated, always hot	Around 100 to 104°F	Outdoor deck or patio	Sore legs after Enchanted Rock, cold months
Clawfoot tub	Antique or reproduction freestanding tub	Regular hot water	Indoors, often with a window	Long baths, historic properties, privacy
Copper soaking tub	Freestanding copper, hand-hammered or antique	Regular hot water	Indoors, sometimes open-plan	Photography, 1800s cabins, couples
Stock tank tub	Galvanized outdoor tub, fill and drain	Whatever you fill it with	Outdoors, often rustic	Adventurous guests, warm evenings
Indoor whirlpool	Jetted bathtub	Regular hot water	Bathroom	Cool weather, guests who dislike outdoor exposure

Two distinctions matter most:

• A hot tub is always ready. A soaking tub usually needs filling and heating, which takes time on arrival.
• Outdoor tubs are the view. Indoor tubs are the privacy. Very few properties do both well.

The Question We Get Asked Most: “Is the tub actually private, or can other guests see me?” We get this more than anything else, usually from couples booking a first anniversary trip. 

At Stay Onera, Fredericksburg, private tubs sit inside screened decks, groves, or elevated platforms, and units like Buckeye Bungalow place the hand-carved rock tub in a planted enclosure. 

But several Fredericksburg properties cluster cabins closely, and a few advertise “communal” plunge pools alongside private ones. 

Before booking anywhere, look at the exterior photos rather than the tub close-ups. 

If you can see a neighboring roofline in the frame, assume you’ll see it from the water. Ask the host directly. Good hosts answer plainly.

1. Stay Onera Fredericksburg: Luxury Cabins in Fredericksburg TX with Hot Tub Views and Cedar Soaking Tubs

Our property sits at 173 Basse Ln, roughly a two-minute drive from Main Street, on a wooded stretch above Barron’s Creek. 

We hold a 4.7 average across about 290 Google reviews and 9.4 out of 10 on Expedia, y TripAdvisor ranks us fourth among 45 specialty lodging properties in Fredericksburg. 

Reservations run through the front desk at +1 512-777-1455. Almost every unit has water you can sit in. What differs is the kind.

Property	Invitados	Tub / Hot Tub	Standout Feature
Casa del Nogal	2	Heated cedar tub	Floor-to-ceiling glass
Capullo	2	Heated cedar tub	Fire pit & outdoor seating
Casa del Cedro	2	Bañera de hidromasaje climatizada	Rooftop deck & wildlife setting
Bungalow Buckeye	2	Hand-carved rock tub	Native plant grove
Safari Sage	4	Heated cedar tub	Canvas-roofed structure
Monarca	3	Bañera de hidromasaje climatizada	Elevated in mature elm
Catalejo	2	Heated cedar tub	Treehouse in the canopy
Casa de campo Live Oak	4	Heated cedar tub	ADA-accessible plunge pool
Bluebonnet	4	Bañera de hidromasaje privada	Rooftop deck & sofa bed

Rates and minimum stays shift by season, day of week, and event calendar, so check current availability rather than any figure quoted elsewhere. 

Nightly base rates typically range from $300 to $400 depending on the season and day of the week, with shoulder-season midweek dates occasionally starting lower.

2. 1800s Peach Cabin: Fredericksburg TX Rentals with Copper Tub

An authentic 1800s log cabin on a 7.5-acre spread, roughly five miles from Historic Main Street. The draw is an antique copper soaking tub with an attached shower handle, set in an open-plan bath.

• Dirección: Lost Creek property, Fredericksburg, TX 78624 (exact directions issued at booking)
• Booking: Vrbo listing 2182363, part of the Hadianna Homes at Lost Creek collection
• Price range: Approximately $200 to $300 per night, seasonal
• Sleeps: 2 | 1 bedroom, 1 bath
• Comodidades: Copper soaking tub, outdoor hot tub, electric fireplace, queen bed, rustic kitchenette with mini fridge and toaster oven, WiFi, streaming TV, back porch

Expedia-family sites show a 10 out of 10 “Exceptional” score for this cabin, and it was ranked fifth in Trips to Discover’s “16 Coolest Cabin Rentals in Texas.” 

Worth knowing: the owners note farm cats on the property, and three sibling cabins share the acreage, so it’s private but not isolated.

3. The Storybook Cottage at Rockwood Waters: A Clawfoot Tub Behind a Secret Door

Purpose-built to feel like a fairytale, the bath is the payoff. A tall armoire in the living space opens into a hidden room holding a classic clawfoot tub, a wood-brick vanity, and a rainhead shower under a vaulted ceiling.

• Dirección: 659 Bob Moritz Dr, Fredericksburg, TX 78624
• Booking: Direct through the Rockwood Waters site, plus Airbnb and Absolute Charm
• Price range: Approximately $190 to $280 per night, seasonal
• Sleeps: 2 | 1 bedroom (loft king), 1 bath
• Comodidades: Clawfoot soaking tub, wet room, private hot tub, circular gas-log fireplace, reading nook, full kitchen with oven and stove, gas firepit, grill, self check-in

Rockwood Waters keeps only four structures on the acreage and gives each its own parking spot and hot tub, and the property sits under two miles from Main Street. 

The property holds a 5.0-star rating on Google. Tribeza featured The Storybook in its February 2026 roundup of unique weekend getaways near Austin. 

The clawfoot tub is a standard-depth freestanding tub, not a deep soaker, so temper expectations if you want shoulder-deep water.

4. HoneyTree’s Blue Sage: Fredericksburg Treehouse with Outdoor Bathtub on the Roof

Twelve architecturally distinct cabins on a hillside about ten minutes out on Ranch Road 965, and the most tub-focused collection in the area. 

Several cabins put the soak tub on a tiled rooftop patio.

• Dirección: Blue Sage, 7656 Ranch Rd 965, Fredericksburg, TX 78624 (The Meadow, the sister property, is at 168 HoneyTree Ln)
• Booking: Direct at honeytreefbg.com and via Airbnb
• Price range: Approximately $250 to $400 per night, seasonal
• Sleeps: 2 in most cabins, up to 6 in No. 1
• Comodidades: Rooftop soak tub in No. 7 and No. 11, indoor soak tub under a round window in No. 5, outdoor stock tank bathtub below No. 2, en suite tub nook in No. 1, walk-in rain showers, heated tile floors, efficiency kitchens, record players

Travel writers and Google reviewers who’ve stayed consistently single out No. 7 for the rooftop tub, and one detailed 2025 write-up described soaking on the roof through sunrise with uninterrupted hill views. 

Two practical notes from HoneyTree’s own guidance: use the driving directions they send rather than Google Maps, and cabins cap at two adults with one or two children.

5. Astryia: Secluded Cabins in Fredericksburg TX with Hot Tub and Dark Skies

A collection of geodesic domes, Scandinavian A-frame treehouses, and hobbit-style dwellings about 15 minutes from downtown, positioned specifically for stargazing.

• Dirección: 1947 Double C Road, Fredericksburg, TX 78624
• Booking: astryia.com, plus Airbnb and Booking.com
• Price range: Approximately $200 to $450 per night depending on structure seasonal
• Sleeps: 2 guests per unit
• Comodidades: Private hot tubs, outdoor swimming pool, king beds, walk-in showers, convection ovens, firepits, BBQ area, picnic area, WiFi, pet-friendly

TripAdvisor guests repeatedly describe the property as tucked away and genuinely quiet, with one review calling out the hot tub and firepit under the stars as the reason to book. 

San Antonio International Airport is about 63 miles away. The tradeoff is real: no light pollution also means no walking to dinner.

6. City on a Hill at Spring Creek: Hill Country Cabins with Private Deck and Hot Tub

Five identical-layout cabins on a working property, each with a long back porch and a private hot tub facing Spring Creek. This is the most consistently reviewed hot tub cabin cluster in Gillespie County.

• Dirección: 101 Johnston Springs Rd, Fredericksburg, TX 78624
• Phone: (512) 656-5501
• Price range: Approximately $207 to $249 per night before tax, per current Expedia and Travelocity feeds
• Sleeps: 2 to 4 | 1 bedroom, king bed plus adult bunk in some cabins
• Comodidades: City on a Hill allows up to two pets at approximately $60 each with a 50-pound limit.

The property carries a 9.8 out of 10 “Exceptional” average from more than 200 Expedia reviews, and TripAdvisor guests mention the ponies, deer, and a sauna room they hadn’t expected. 

Check-in starts at 3 p.m., check-out is 11 a.m., minimum age 21. The indoor tub is a standard tub-shower combination, so the hot tub is the soaking experience here.

7. Wine Country Cottages on Main: Fredericksburg TX Wine Country Cabins with Private Hot Tubs

Thirteen cottages on a landscaped Main Street lot, walkable to tasting rooms and restaurants. The trade is location over seclusion.

• Dirección: 512 W. Main St, Fredericksburg, TX 78624
• Phone: (325) 247-0098 via Stay Fredericksburg
• Price range: Approximately $250 to $400 per night, seasonal
• Sleeps: 2 per cottage, up to 26 across the property
• Comodidades: Private outdoor hot tubs, king beds, cathedral ceilings, fireplaces, copper sink wet bars, custom masonry, stocked in-cottage breakfast available for purchase

TripAdvisor reviewers consistently praise the five-minute walk downtown and the porch-side jacuzzi, though one long-time repeat guest documented arriving on New Year’s Eve to find the hot tub had been serviced that afternoon and hadn’t reheated. 

Note the age policy: guests under 17 aren’t permitted because of an unfenced pool nearby.

Parking Reality Check: Main Street parking is the thing most first-time visitors underestimate. 

Fredericksburg’s core is a single long commercial strip with free angled street parking and a few municipal lots, and on a Saturday between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. in spring or during Oktoberfest weekend, it fills. 

Guests who book downtown cottages get a spot at their unit, which is genuinely the strongest argument for staying on Main. 

If you’re staying outside town, our advice is the same one we give at check-in: drive in before 10:30 a.m. or after 5 p.m., or park a few blocks off Main and walk in. 

During Oktoberfest, October 2 to 4 in 2026, use the Park and Ride shuttle from the Gillespie County Fairgrounds at approximately $10 per person.

8. Zac’s Cabin: Fredericksburg Texas Cabins with Private Hot Tub Over Live Oak Creek

One of a small group of cabins on 16 acres at the old Klaerner Park site, roughly 3.5 to 4 miles from downtown. The private deck hot tub looks straight out over Live Oak Creek.

• Dirección: Live Oak Creek Cabins, Fredericksburg, TX 78624 (managed through Gästehaus Schmidt, 231 West Main Street)
• Phone: (830) 997-5612 or (866) 427-8374
• Price range: Approximately $193 average per night per Vrbo data, seasonal
• Sleeps: 2 | 1 bedroom, king bed
• Comodidades: Private hot tub, electric grill, large bathroom, well-equipped kitchen, private deck, creek access with paddle boat and fishing, air conditioning, cable TV

Airbnb listings both describe the setting as the selling point, and the host is transparent that four other cabins plus RV hookups share the property. 

Cancellation terms are strict: 50 percent refund at 14 days out, nothing inside that window. 

Worth confirming current on-site construction status, since the operator has previously advertised a bar and spa in development at the entrance.

9. Honey Hill Forget Me Not Cabin: Romantic Cabins in Fredericksburg TX with Hot Tub

One of four cabins on six wildflower acres about seven minutes from Main Street, with an enclosed back patio built around the hot tub. Strictly adults; strictly no pets.

• Dirección: 9848 W. U.S. Highway 290, Fredericksburg, TX 78624
• Phone: (830) 997-2749
• Price range: Approximately $180 to $280 per night, seasonal
• Sleeps: 2 | 1 bedroom, 1 bath, king bed
• Comodidades: Private hot tub on enclosed patio, full kitchen with Keurig, ambiance fireplace, WiFi, covered private parking, front porch rocking chairs

It holds a 9.4 out of 10 rating across roughly 50 Vrbo reviews, and guests frequently return for anniversaries. Hye Meadow Winery is about a three-minute drive, and Roca Encantada is about 18 minutes. 

The owners publish an unusually honest note about Hill Country wildlife and insects making their way indoors despite regular pest control, which we appreciate as operators. 

Forget Me Not, Morning Mimosa, and Wild Rose each sleep two, and The Back 20 sleeps four, so groups can book the cluster for up to ten.

10. Saw Mill Cottage: Fredericksburg Texas Accommodations with Hot Tub Near the Golf Course

A hand-crafted timber frame retreat about ten minutes from Main Street, in the group of three Saw Mill cottages near Lady Bird Johnson Golf Course and Hill Country Memorial Hospital.

• Dirección: Off Hwy 16 South (near Lady Bird Johnson Municipal Park), Fredericksburg, TX 78624
• Booking: Expedia, Vrbo, and Airbnb listings under Saw Mill Cottage, Saw Mill Cabin, and Saw Mill Cabin No. 2
• Price range: Approximately $200 to $350 per night, seasonal
• Sleeps: 2 to 4 | queen bedroom plus loft with second queen, approximately 500 sq ft
• Comodidades: Private patio hot tub, fully equipped kitchen, porch swing, washer and dryer, central air, pet-friendly at approximately $50 per pet

The sibling Saw Mill Cabin shows a 10 out of 10 score on Expedia‘s platform, while the Cottage listing is newer and had no reviews logged at the time of writing, which is worth weighing. 

The host discloses midweek hot tub servicing that takes about 15 minutes. Check-in is 4 p.m., minimum age is 25, and free parking is not guaranteed on every listing variant, so confirm.

Indoor or Outdoor? Choosing Between Fredericksburg Cabins with Outdoor Tub and Freestanding Indoor Tubs

This choice matters more in Texas than in most cabin destinations, because the weather swings hard.

Factor	Outdoor soaking tub or hot tub	Indoor clawfoot, copper, or whirlpool
Best months	October through April	Year-round, especially June through September
The view	Stars, canopy, creek, hills	A window at best
Privacy	Depends entirely on layout	Complete
Bugs and weather	Real factors in spring and summer	None
Photos guests actually take	Almost all of them	Occasionally
Reliability	Can be down for servicing	Rarely fails

Choose an outdoor tub if: your trip runs between late October and mid-April, you’re celebrating something, or stargazing is part of the plan.

Choose an indoor tub if: you’re visiting in July or August, you’re sensitive to insects, you want a long unhurried bath rather than a shared soak, or you’re bringing anyone who won’t be comfortable outdoors in swimwear.

Skip both if: your trip is packed with wineries and hiking and you’ll be back after dark and asleep by ten. We’ve watched plenty of guests pay a premium for a tub they used once for twelve minutes.

Best Time to Book Fredericksburg TX Cabins with Hot Tub and Hill Country Views

Temporada	Tiempo	Tub comfort	Crowds and rates	Notes
Mar to May	Mild, 70s to low 80s	Excellent	Highest demand of the year	Bluebonnet peak late March to mid-April; March occupancy runs near 51% with average daily rates around $324
Jun to Aug	Hot, mid-90s	Poor for hot tubs	Busy weekends, softer midweek	Peach season, Stonewall Peach JAMboree, Gillespie County Fair in late August
Sep to Nov	Cooling to high 70s	Best of the year	Very high on event weekends	Oktoberfest October 2 to 4, 2026; harvest events; Trade Days weekends
Dec to Feb	Cool to cold, occasional freezes	Excellent	Quietest, best value	Weihnachtszeit holiday season; midweek rates drop noticeably

Booking guidance we give repeatedly:

• Tub-focused units book earliest, often three to five months out for spring and October weekends
• Midweek in January and February is the single best value window for a private tub
• Any Trade Days weekend behaves like a mini-festival for lodging demand
• Hard freezes do happen and can affect outdoor plumbing; ask any property how they handle it

What Fredericksburg Cabins with Bathtub Views Actually Cost in 2026

Across the ten properties in this guide, nightly rates cluster between roughly $180 and $450 before tax and fees, with whole-lodge and multi-bedroom bookings running well above that. 

Rates listed anywhere, including here, are approximate and change with season and demand.

The line items guests forget:

• Hotel occupancy tax of 13 percent total, made up of a 7 percent City of Fredericksburg rate and a 6 percent State of Texas rate, per the City of Fredericksburg hotel occupancy tax page
• Cleaning fees, which on some platforms are taxed as well
• Pet fees, commonly $50 to $60 per pet where pets are allowed
• Two-night minimums on most weekends and three-night minimums around major events
• Enchanted Rock day passes, which are separate and must be reserved

What Visitors Often Don’t Realize: The tax applies to the cleaning fee, not just the nightly rate, which is why a $250 cabin can land near $320 all-in. 

This surprises guests every week. A second thing worth knowing: according to market analytics from AirDNA, Fredericksburg had roughly 3,300 active short-term rental listings tracked across platforms as of May 2026, and annual median occupancy sits closer to 32 to 34 percent.

That means genuine last-minute availability exists most of the year outside spring and October. If you’re flexible on dates and willing to go midweek, you have far more leverage than the listings suggest.

Budget Tip: One of the best ways to enjoy the Hill Country without spending extra is taking lunch outdoors; see our top picks for the Best Picnic Areas in Fredericksburg, TX.

Plan Your Perfect Soaking-Tub Getaway in Fredericksburg

The right choice among Fredericksburg cabins with bathtub views and soaking tubs comes down to three honest questions: what month are you traveling, how far from Main Street can you tolerate being, and do you want a tub that’s ready the moment you arrive or one that fills fresh for you? 

Answer those, and the list narrows to two or three properties fast.

We built this comparison because our team fields these questions every week, and because guests deserve to know when a different property fits their trip better than ours does. 

Some of the nine cabins above will suit you more than we will, and we’d rather say that plainly.

If you do want a heated cedar soaking tub in an oak grove or a private hot tub above Barron’s Creek, our team at Stay Onera, Fredericksburg, can walk you through which unit fits before you book, including which ones are private and which share the hot plunge. 

Call the front desk at +1 512-777-1455 or reach us at concierge@stayonera.com. Ask us anything about the tubs. 

We’d genuinely rather answer it now than fix it later.

FAQs | Fredericksburg Cabins with Bathtub Views and Soaking Tubs

1. How long does a heated cedar soaking tub take to warm up?

Depends entirely on the property and the system. Some are heated and ready when you arrive, some fill on request, and some require you to start the process yourself. At our property, the private soaking tubs are prepared for arrival, and guests only need to tell us if they’d like it ready at a specific hour. Elsewhere, ask before booking. The most common disappointment we hear about other stays is arriving at 6 p.m., wanting a soak at 8 p.m., and learning the tub needs three hours. It’s a two-line question to a host, and it saves an evening.

2. What’s the real difference between a soaking tub and a hot tub at these cabins?

A hot tub circulates chemically treated water at a constant 100 to 104°F and is ready whenever you are. A soaking tub, usually cedar or stone, is filled fresh for your stay and heated to bath temperature, without jets. Soaking tubs feel quieter and more natural, and the water is cleaner because it isn’t recirculated. Hot tubs are better for sore muscles and cold nights. Most Fredericksburg listings use the terms loosely, so read the amenity list rather than the headline. If a listing says “spa tub,” it almost always means a jetted hot tub.

3. Are outdoor tubs usable in Texas summer?

Usable, but not pleasant during the day. Fredericksburg regularly hits the mid-90s from June through August, and sitting in 102°F water in 95°F air isn’t relaxing for most people. Guests who visit in summer and still want the water tend to use it after 9 p.m., when the air has dropped, or they book a unit where the cedar tub can be filled with cool water. If you’re traveling in peak summer and the tub is the whole point of the trip, consider shifting to an indoor clawfoot or whirlpool property, or pick somewhere with pool access alongside the tub.

4. Which Fredericksburg cabins have genuinely private tubs rather than shared ones?

Look for the word “private” in the amenity line, then verify with photos. City on a Hill gives every cabin its own porch hot tub. Honey Hill Forget Me Not encloses its patio. Rockwood Waters allots a hot tub per structure across only four structures. On our property, the cedar soaking tub and private hot tub units are private, while Pecan Haus, Lantana Dome, and Juniper Haus use a communal hot plunge. Several Fredericksburg listings advertise “hot tub access” without specifying, which usually means shared. Ask directly.

5. How far in advance should I book a cabin with a soaking tub?

For late March through mid-April and for Oktoberfest weekend, three to five months is realistic for the specific unit you want. Tub-equipped units are the first to go at nearly every property here. For June through August and for December through February, four to six weeks is usually enough, and midweek dates often open up within two weeks. Trade Days weekends, roughly the third weekend of most months, behave like festival dates. If your dates are fixed and the unit matters, book early. If your dates are flexible, waiting saves money.

6. Do these cabins allow pets?

Policies vary sharply. City on a Hill allows up to two pets at approximately $60 each with a 50-pound limit. Saw Mill charges roughly $50 per pet. Astryia lists pet-friendly. Honey Hill Forget Me Not Cabin does not allow pets at all, and Wine Country Cottages excludes guests under 17. Our property has pet-friendly units, though not every unit qualifies, so it’s worth confirming at booking rather than assuming. Never plan to bring a dog to a hot tub property without written confirmation. Cleaning fees for undisclosed pets are steep across the board.

7. Can I get a cabin with both an indoor soaking tub and an outdoor hot tub?

A few properties manage it. The Storybook pairs an indoor clawfoot tub and wet room with an outdoor hot tub. The 1800’s Peach Cabin combines an antique copper tub indoors with a hot tub outside. HoneyTree No. 1 has an en suite tub nook alongside outdoor amenities. Most Fredericksburg cabins pick one, and a surprising number pair an outdoor hot tub with an ordinary indoor tub-shower combination. If both matter, filter for it specifically, because the combination is genuinely uncommon and worth paying for.

8. What does a two-night stay realistically cost all-in?

For a mid-range cabin with a private tub at roughly $250 per night, expect somewhere near $650 to $750 total for two nights once you add cleaning and the 13 percent occupancy tax. Higher-design units and event weekends push past $400 per night. Budget stays exist closer to $180. What moves the number most isn’t the property; it’s the date: the same cabin can differ by 60 percent between a February Tuesday and an Oktoberfest Saturday. If cost is the constraint, change the date before you change the property.

9. Is a clawfoot tub deep enough for actual soaking?

Usually not in the way a cedar or stock tank tub is. Most clawfoot tubs, including antique originals, hold water to roughly the same depth as a standard bathtub, so you’ll be reclined rather than submerged to the shoulders. What they give you is character, length, and a freestanding position that often sits near a window. If your goal is deep shoulder-covering water, look for a Japanese-style soaking tub, a cedar tub, or a stock tank. If the goal is a long candlelit bath in a room that feels like 1890, a clawfoot is exactly right.

10. Which property should I pick if I only get one trip?

If it’s a first visit and a celebration, we’d point you toward a private soaking tub within a couple of miles of Main Street, so you get quiet without losing access to dinner and tasting rooms. That describes our Walnut House, Cedar Haus, and Spyglass units, and it also describes The Storybook. If the trip is about darkness and open sky rather than town, go to Astryia or HoneyTree Blue Sage. If the budget is the deciding factor, City on a Hill delivers a private creek-view hot tub at the lowest consistent price point in this guide.
