About this property

French Country Farmhouse on Baron's Creek - w/ Pool/Spa, Steps from Main Street!

FRENCH COUNTRY FARMHOUSE on BARON'S CREEK, steps from downtown, w/ 3BR/3bath, pool, spa, & fire pit!

Creekside Farmhouse is a beautiful 3 bedroom/3 bath home two blocks from Main Street with 2 master bedrooms w/ en suite baths, and a large bunkroom. Secluded on more than an acre, with a new pool/spa overlooking Baron's Creek there's LOTS of outdoor spaces to enjoy - including a firepit, swings, and 2 covered porches––which is hard to beat in downtown Fredericksburg.

Soaring ceilings greet you as you enter the stunning living room with a fireplace that leads to a fully-equipped kitchen. The spacious living room and dining area are right off of the kitchen & feature a 10--foot zinc-top dining table, huge sectional sofa, flat screen TV and Sonos sound system.

The downstairs master includes a king bed with 400+ thread count linens and an en suite bathroom with soaker tub and walk-in shower. Two sets of French doors at the backside of the house open up to a sitting porch and massive back-yard with a pool (as of October 1, 2024), built in fire-pit, and views of Baron's Creek and beyond.

Upstairs includes a second master bedroom with king size bed, en suite bathroom, and elegant furnishings as well as a custom-built bunkroom - featuring 2 queens, 2 doubles and 2 twins - all pillowtops with top of the line linens - capable of comfortably sleeping 8 adults or 10 children.. Situated in between is a cozy sitting room overlooking the living room that doubles as an additional sleeping area with a sleeper sofa.

The Creekside Carriage House in back can be added to your stay for larger groups or family reunions - sleeping an additional 5, and boasting breathtaking views of Baron's Creek and beyond. Go to vrbo/1156167 for more information on Creekside Carriage House.

Additional features: fully-stocked "cook's kitchen," washer/dryer, ironing board, large front and back porches with outdoor seating and dining, fire pit, walking distance to downtown, views.

Please note that standard rate is for 10 occupancy, and there is a $50 charge per additional guest, per night, up to the capacity of 12.

Great House in Fredericksburg

This house is amazing! Our family had a fantastic stay at this lovely home. It was a great location - walking distance to Main Street and yet it felt like it was away from all of the tourist activity. Any problems we had were corrected quickly. The grounds are lovely and we enjoyed being by the creek. Many thanks to the owner for sharing this wonderful property with us.

Mother’s Day Getaway!

We have stayed at this house many times and it gets better every time we come back! Always perfectly clean and beds are all extremely comfortable. The two living spaces downstairs, plus the loft living space provide much area to spread out relax. We enjoy making breakfast in the mornings and the kitchen is well equipped. We decided to have the pool heated- and the owner is easy to get in touch with. Overall our favorite place to stay in Fredericksburg. Feels like you are in a serene country area but just a block or so off of main. We can’t wait to be back!

Gorgeous Property in a Perfect Location!

My husband, two sons, and I came to Fredericksburg for a couple nights away before Christmas. It's a beautiful, super comfy home located along a creek. It's a quick walk to all the restaurants and shopping on Main Street, but you still get the tranquility of the hill country! We had such a wonderful get away and would absolutely rent this property again the next time we come to town!

We just wrapped up the most incredible girls' trip at this beautiful home, and I can't say enough wonderful things about our experience. From the moment we arrived, we knew we'd made the perfect choice. The location was absolutely ideal ! Close enough to everything we wanted to explore, yet tucked away in a peaceful setting that felt like our own private retreat. We felt completely safe and comfortable throughout our entire stay, which meant everything to us as a group of women traveling together. The home itself exceeded every expectation. It was immaculately clean, thoughtfully appointed and even more beautiful in person than in the photos. Every detail had clearly been considered with guests in mind. But truly, the star of the show was the patio and poolside set-up. There's something magical about starting the day with coffee and conversation poolside, the morning sun warming everything around us. Those peaceful breakfast moments, before the day really got going, ended up being some of our most cherished times together. This property gave us the gift of quality time together in a stunning space where we could truly relax and reconnect. Our host was wonderful, and we're already talking about planning our next trip back. If you're looking for a gorgeous, well-maintained home with an incredible pool and perfect location, look no further. This place is an absolute gem.Thank you for hosting us and for providing such a special space for our girls' trip. We left refreshed,

Friend Group Getaway

Our friend group thoroughly enjoyed this property. It's conveniently located on a large quiet lot with gorgeous views, while still within walking distance from downtown Fredericksburg shops and restaurants. The house is spacious with an open floor plan and fully stocked kitchen if you're planning to cook. And the property owner was quick to respond when we reached out while we were there. We will absolutely return to this property on future group trips to Fredericksburg. Highly recommend.

Beautiful House!

We came to Fredericksburg for a girls weekend (10 women), and this house was just perfect! It is straight out of "Fixer Upper" with its chic farmhouse feel. Unbelievably clean. Great conversation areas and plenty of room. I have had mixed experiences booking on VRBO, and this one did not disappoint! I highly recommend, and I hope to stay here again!

Perfect Stay!!

We stayed in this lovely house a few weeks ago for my husband’s 50th birthday and it was all around wonderful!! The house is better than described and the backyard/creek were perfect for my husband’s party. Beautiful furnishings and had more than enough room for our 9 family members. We always had excellent communication with Buck and even got the chance to meet him briefly during our stay. Great guy! You will not regret choosing this house for your Fredericksburg rental and the location can’t be beat!

Cute house. Quiet. Very easy walk to downtown Fredericksburg. Enough room for everyone to spread out. Beds in two master bedrooms very comfortable. My only suggestion would be window screens so people who like to sleep with windows open could have insect defenses. All together very nice experience though.

5 Star Property that is Can't Miss....

My Family and I stayed here over the Thanksgiving Holiday and couldn't have had a better time. The property is beautiful, the house is beautiful, and the owners are fantastic! I completely recommend this house for families and those wanting a "country" feel out the back porch even though you are a block off main street. My kids loved the bunk room and playing in the back yard. Us adults loved the two main bedrooms, and the family room is perfect for hanging out and just enjoying each other. It has a full kitchen so we were able to make a few dishes for thanksgiving. Overall, you will love staying here and we will definitely be back!!

Beautiful home for an unforgettable weekend!!

The pictures don't do this lovely home justice! From the moment you walk in you notice the attention to detail that Buck and his family have put into their special home. We we're all amazed at the beautiful decor, all the comfy spaces that allowed us to hang-out together and relax in the living room, den/dining room and the peaceful outdoor space overlooking the river. The bedrooms were lovely with cozy linens and very comfortable beds. We all walked into town twice to shop and dine, so convenient! It was just the perfect house for a girls weekend and we are all talking about when our next visit to the French Country Farmhouse will be, thanks again Buck!!

Lovely family stay at this beautifully appointed home

My mom, 3 sisters and our daughters descend on Fredericksburg for a long weekend each August. As our group grows, we are often seeking new accommodations to try that offer enough space to comfortably sleep everyone as well as ample gathering space indoors and out. We were pleased with this choice though we did find ourselves having to be strategic about our time in the two bathrooms. I think it is important to note that if traveling with less than nimble elderly folks, all of the very comfortable and lush beds are high off the ground and were not a fit for our mom. She napped on the couch downstairs and used the sleeper sofa upstairs during the night (she actually thought the mattress was quite comfortable). We had one need during our stay and it was addressed right away.

Fun girls weekend

Group of 7 ladies in town for a girls weekend. Very clean, cute decor, great location (walking distance to Main St). Mostly a perfect stay other than the kitchen items/utensils were sparse for cooking for a large group and I didn’t realize I had to give 2 days notice for use of the hot tub. For what we paid () I would assume use of the hot tub would be a no brainer. I would stay here again.
