Holiday Getaway
Posted Nov. 29, 2024 on HomeAwayWe had such an amazing experience. Jill was such a help and the communication was excellent. The house was beautiful and very clean. The kitchen was great and stocked with everything, there were even s'mores supplies! We had a very kind gift from a local bakery as well. My family loved the hot tub, the outdoor spaces, the sun room, the pool table and so much more. We would love to come back!!!

Romantic getaway
Posted Sep. 22, 2024 on HomeAwayOur first visit to Fredericksburg was a delightful experience, and the house played a significant role in making it so enjoyable. We loved being able to stroll to nearby restaurants and explore the charming town without relying much on our car. The owner's suggestions were invaluable in helping us plan where to eat and what to do. After a day of walking and wine tasting, the pool was refreshing in the afternoons, and we had a blast playing pool in the evenings.
The house had a lovely vintage charm, which we adored, but it did come with the quirks of an older home—creaky floors and sounds from the outside, including some late-night construction noise from jackhammers. Despite that, the cleanliness of the house met our expectations. We did notice a few dead roaches and gnats, likely a result of recent pest control efforts, which we appreciated.
Overall, it was a fantastic trip, and we would definitely recommend this house to others.

Quite the historical, comfortable stay
Posted Aug. 28, 2024 on HomeAwayThis was a perfect stay for reuniting 7 old friends. The house was comfortable and beautiful. So much privacy to be a block off Main St. Plenty of room to sit down and eat or play games at the table. The pool was nice. Enjoyed the well stocked kitchen, bedroom and pool needs. Cleanliness was a 10! This original 1871 home was of extreme interest! Jill responded immediately to our needs.

The perfect place to stay when you are visiting Fredericksburg!
Posted Jul. 26, 2024 on HomeAwayWe had an incredible stay at this beautiful house in Fredericksburg, Texas! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how clean and cozy the house was. Despite the hot summer weather, the house remained wonderfully cool, providing a perfect retreat from the heat.
The outdoor space was just as delightful, featuring a stunning pool and well-maintained landscaping. It was the ideal spot to relax and unwind.
The location was fantastic! Just a short 4-minute walk to the main part of town, we were able to enjoy all the local shopping and dining with ease. Plus, it was only a 2-minute drive to even more great spots, and the famous wineries of Fredericksburg were still conveniently close.
Our host truly made the experience exceptional. They were attentive, responsive, and genuinely one of the best hosts we've ever dealt with. Their hospitality added so much to our stay, making it even more enjoyable.
We highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a wonderful getaway in Fredericksburg!

Family getaway
Posted Jul. 25, 2024 on HomeAwayBeautiful house and property located a block from Main Street. Arrived to a a fruit tray and fresh gorgeous flowers spaced around the home. Kids enjoyed the pool table, pool and hot tub. Kitchen had an abundance of cookware and serving dishes. This home had everything you would want in a home away from home. Communication was A+ with easy check-in and departure instructions. We will be back!

Good location in Fredericksburg.
Posted Jun. 26, 2024 on HomeAwayWe really only have two recommendations. Cut out or severely trim the plants on the grill area of the patio. Just way to much there. Secondly, install an intuitive thermostat located in the hallway to the downstair bedrooms. Impossible to use properly. For the 8 people we had there it was a very nice facility and great location. Pool and hot tub were super. All as advertised. Thanks

Thank you for your suggestions in your review! I opened the grill top and saw the vines may be too close for your enjoyment! I apologize and have already cut back both the trumpet and grape vines. We love our secret garden feel and our grape vine is German & over 100 years old (birds love the grapes), but I will keep them pruned back more. I’m sorry you were not familiar with the Nest thermometer and have posted a note with instructions to help future guests. As stated in multiple emails and in signs posted in the house, I’m always just a text or phone call away to help with any issues! I’m so happy you thought the house, pool & hot tub were super!!! I look forward to hosting you again!
