Things to Know We’re excited to inform you that this unit utilizes a comfortable style of bed-making known as Triple Sheeting. Triple Sheeting is proven to be more hygienic and is used by five-star hotels worldwide. It consists of a fitted sheet, a flat sheet, a blanket, and finally, a decorative top sheet. Due to this change, the pictures for this home may not accurately represent the bedding that will appear during your stay. This has not affected any other amenities or the amount of beds available. The fireplace is not operational.

Charming farmhouse. Great Christmas time getaway. Close to the Christmas lights and shopping on Main Street. Very clean and comfortable—enjoyed our stay very much.
This place is SO cute, shabby chic and comfortable! Everything we needed was there from coffee to cookies! We would definitely recommend the cosmos cottage cheese and stay here again!
My mom and I took my daughter to Fredericksburg for a girls trip and this location was wonderful. There was a large yard and the house was in a great location. Quick drive to the Main Street and the H‑E‑B. Lost Draw Cellars was easily walking distance.
We loved our stay. The house was clean, well-appointed with all the amenities we could ask for, and perfect for our needs. As a bonus, it was ideally-suited; an easy walk from downtown, and the HEB grocery store was just a couple blocks away. We would definitely stay here again.
Great property, original late 1800 floors! Cosmos Cottage is cute and romantic while big enough for separate space as well. We will definitely be back.
The pics are exactly what you get. A darling home, close to town in a quiet neighborhood, and close to shopping. Perfect stay for a couple. Enjoyed every bit of it.
Very nice place , great backyard and outside area . This house was a neat old place that was clean , comfortable and well maintained. Check in and out was easy and Vacasa is a great choice to rent from . Very easy experience. I would recommend this house and vacasa to rent through.

roomy and serene
We needed a place to escape from the heat of Houston and found this place. It was peaceful and quiet, but not far from anything. We appreciated having washer and dryer in-house. If we make it back, we would stay here again.
Loved the house! This quaint gem is Fredericksburg perfection. The owner did a lovely job restoring and furnishing it. The management company, however, needs to step-up their game a little. We were served spoilt creamer, the tv reception wasn't happening, and we were denied checking in a mere fifteen minutes early. To top it off, the sprinkler system was set to come on around 8:30am, right during our checkout and on the front path.
