Charming home!
This lovely house is perfectly situated just a few blocks from the main street of Fredericksburg. There was ample space for our group of six to spread out or gather together. The kitchen was fully equipped, including a perfect-for-our-needs mini dishwasher. We enjoyed time on the large front porch. My only reservation about this rental is that the bed my husband and I chose was not very comfortable. There were two more bedrooms than we needed, so we probably should have channeled our inner Goldilocks and checked them out. The management company was quick to answer any questions that arose. Overall, it was a perfect place for our family gthering.

Great place, better communication needed
Fantastic property! Tons of space, so close to main street, and just adorable. Was not told we could not use the driveway until the day before my stay. When i received pre-check in email with contact info i reached out but got no response. Had to call the company to get access info because none ever came. Definitely worth staying here though.

Perfect Xmastime Getaway
A wonderful old house in the perfect location. We had a small mix of friends and family, adults and kids, and loved shopping and dining our way through downtown Fredericksburg just before Xmas. The park with all its lights is just a block away. Downtown shops and restaurants less than a 5 minute walk. Wonderful and comfortable house. We will be back!

Our group loved the atmosphere of the historic home. The house was charming and unique. It has real character, but also, some quirks due to its age. The house is little squeaky and not in perfect shape, but that is because of the age of the home. Guests should know they can communicate any questions or concerns to the company and receive quick response! Thanks for a great time!

High school friends reunion, class on 1970
The location is wonderful. The drive up to the property is very disappointing!!!!! The yard had not been mowed in over a month. Debris from the storm several weeks ago was everywhere. All flower beds have weeds no flowers which I understand with the heat needs to be weeded. Giant cobwebs on the porch, the air conditioner struggles in the afternoon to keep up with the heat. The vintage single pane windows offer no support in the heat. The drip coffee maker does not work and the Kureg had a clog in the supply line and was not functioning on the last day. Luckily one person brought her own coffee pot as b n b's don't have functioning coffee makers, so we had one. The mattress upstairs was concave and the hump in the middle looked like a dead body. No one slept there so we doubled up in other rooms. The couches downstairs are vintage and cute but you almost fall through the springs. It is very charming and close in which was nice to meet everyone's needs but it is overpriced for what you get. I would look elsewhere.

Disappointing bathroom conditions
I booked this place for my bachelorette trip and was excited for a cute historic house. There were 8 of us and were extremely disappointed that one shower was not in a good condition. It was leaking, there was mold, and the bath wash in the bathroom came out in clumps and was gross. I contacted the guest contact and she just said it was on their maintenance schedule. We should have been told that beforehand if so. The picture of the bathroom on the property listing is not accurate and the shower rod was even broken and manually taped back together. Description was misleading with regard to the condition of the house, specifically the one bathroom. The house is very quaint and has a good location near downtown. It had plenty of space to sleep and has that old time charm to it. But for a large group and with this Texas heat, you need two good working showers at a minimum. One bathroom not being usable was a major inconvenience and defeated the purpose of renting a house for our group. We lost valuable time, adjusting with the one usable bathroom. We are disappointed and I hope the owner/manager will compensate us for the misleading representation.

Perfect Cozy Place
This home was comfortable and had plenty of space for our group of 6. Everyone had their own bed, and there was so much common space for us to spread out in the house. We had every amenity we needed. Our weekend was cold and rainy, but we stayed warm here in this home. We spent the day out, and spent our evening watching movies and playing cards around the dining room table. I definitely recommend this property.

We celebrated our Bride to be, we did a wine tour and they picked us up at the property and had us back in time for shopping and dinner. It’s right off the Main Street, with lots of food and shopping options. The house is set up beautifully, with plenty of space for our 10 guests as well as bringing in the charm of Fredericksburg. We are big antique lovers and the home has plenty!

August Trip
The house was large with 5 bedrooms and accommodated our large group, however we were very disappointed in the house. Upon arriving, a plumber was working trying to get the water running. He was able to get us water on but this should have been done before our arrival. The house was not clean. There were cobwebs in several of the rooms and the large living area had dead bugs on the end tables and on the floor. We found multiple bugs crawling on the blinds and some on the floor. The smoke detectors were not working in all the rooms. This is a code violation. There were multiple light bulbs burned out. We had trouble getting the TVs to work. I called and someone did come out and get a couple of them to come on. However, the cables were not working on the TVs upstairs and the representative told me that was out of her control to get that fixed. The coffee pot did not work and was extremely dirty. There was a Keurig that we were able to use. The outside tables were very dirty and we had to clean them off before we could sit out side. I understand that this is a historical home and very old but it should be cleaned and everything should be working.

Great place to stay during our weekend vacation to Fredericksburg. Very charming home. Walking distance to Main Street was great. The only con to the stay was that the patio was extremely dirty. The cushions were a mess with bird droppings so we were not all able to sit out back unless we scrubbed the table and picked the few decent cushened chairs for seating. The cushions should be cleaned regularly if guest are to enjoy the outside space.
