Second Home Guesthouse | 1.5 Blocks from Marktplatz | Hot Tub

Just two blocks from Main Street, many locals and visitors have coveted this impressive two-story home over the years. Built in the late 1800s, Sussie Staudt lived in the house until 1990. A few years later the home was sold and renovated as a guesthouse. A large front porch with rockers has been restored with gingerbread to bring back the original look. The colors inside have kept with German tradition by declaring each room's personality painting with a different color and tying them together with red and deep blue. Pine floors and fabulous antiques are displayed both upstairs and down.

The living room has a warm, rich red gingham sofa comfortably arranged for TV viewing. These same colors are carried into the master bedroom. A grey tufted King bed is topped with white and red bedding and an assortment of fluffy pillows. The upstairs is a spacious pristine white bedroom full of color and warmth. A queen bed is decked with red, white and blue quilts and spiced with red gingham ruffles and curtains. To tie in with this traditional Fredericksburg look, there's an oversized chair adorned in red gingham to relax or read in.

In the back of the house is a kitchen equipped for light cooking. White tile backdrops and countertops and an array of decorative tiles enrich the pine cabinets.

The home has been lovingly renovated and decorated. Each room is furnished with wonderful antiques and has original pine floors and area rugs. The rooms are bright and cheerful and much thought has been given to guests' needs.

The outdoor space is equally enticing with a pleasant backyard, charcoal grill (charcoal not provided), and firepit (wood not provided). There is also a Level 2 EV charger conveniently located right next to the driveway.

Trek Enchanted Rock, hike, bike, shop till you drop, stroll through the garden or sit on the front porch, rock and just be. Enjoy!

Things to be aware of:
- Infants (children that are not yet mobile) and children aged 6 years or older are the only children allowed that at house.

- One dog under 50 lbs. is allowed at the house but there is an additional nightly fee of $54/night (before tax). If you do bring a dog, please bring a crate for your dog and crate it in your absence from the house, do not allow the dog on furniture or beds, and pick up and properly dispose of its waste. If these rules are not followed, there will be an additional $200 charge added to your reservation.

- There is a Ring camera on the front of the house that faces the street and a second camera that faces the driveway.

- Neither charcoal for the grill nor wood for the firepit is provided.

House Rules as Required by the City of Fredericksburg's Short Term Rental Ordinance
- Observe the City of Fredericksburg Quiet Hours (10pm to 7am in residential zones). No music of any kind after 10 pm.
- The City of Fredericksburg is a Dark Sky Community with outdoor lighting restrictions. All outdoor lighting is encouraged to be turned off when no one is present to use the light.

Mothers Day
It was a very nice old home. The front porch was delightful to sit on and enjoy with friends. The fire pit in the back was very nice as well. We had all we needed and down town was close enough to walk and enjoy. The beds and pillows made for a great night sleep, so comfortable.

Clean and Adorable
So easy to get to all the action on Main Street from a very quiet and safe street. The house was roomy and cozy at the same time. Everything was very clean. The beds/pillows were very comfortable.

Great place to stay with a dog in tow
Nice accomodations, very cozy. I did find myself to be cold downstairs while it was hot upstairs, however, and one door (between living room & bedroom) didn't close. Walkable distance to main street (10-15 minutes), and had several streaming services provided - this was great for when it got too cold to stay outside!

Great Location and perfect for pets
My husband, dog and I spent a lovely spring weekend in Fredericksburg. The house is very well located within walking distance to Main Street with it’s many restaurants, wine tasting rooms and shops. The house was great for 2 seniors and our dog. Perfect weather and lots of wildflowers in bloom certainly helped!

Perfect weekend getaway
House location and amenities are perfect. Loved being able to walk in to town. Garden is a great size and our dogs loved checking it all out (garden safely fenced) while we enjoyed the evening sun. Hot tub wonderful. Cottage is really cozy and homey and was great for the two of us.
