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 around the world. 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.
Due to the Hill Country location of our rentals, you may encounter situations with wildlife/pests. Please be aware of your surroundings, take caution while driving at night and supervise your children at all times while outdoors. In addition, all properties do utilize pest control maintenance on a regular basis, BUT this does not guarantee pests/bugs/critters will not be visible.

If you are bringing a dog on your trip, the pet fee is already included in your quote when selecting ‘Yes’ to pets. If you would like to add more dogs, please contact us.

Would definitely stay again

Great choice for me and my husband and our 2 dogs (not completely fenced but plenty of area for pottying). Would also accommodate another couple nicely. Walk to the main drag, so very convenient.

Great location, cozy house

The house was very clean and comfortably furnished. Just a block from main street. Even the furthest downtown locations were only a mile walk.

Nice 2/2 close-ish to town.

The house is very clean and furnished nicely. It’s a bit of a walk, but doable, depending on your destination and physicality. It’s a 20+ minute walk to Auslander’s (one of our musts when visiting Fredricksburg). It was a nice stay for two couples.

Perfect Hill Country Home away from home

Beautiful staycation from San Antonio with my elderly parents and my young daughter. Quiet neighborhood, absolutely lovely home with 2 large bedrooms and en suite bathrooms. We brought our 2 small dogs which completed the family. Just 1 block off of Main Street and so close to the lovely Christmas decorations of Fredericksburg! We will be coming back for wine tours in the next few months!

Excellent Stay

We really enjoyed ourself. The house is a perfect size for our family of 3 and had everything we needed. The only issue we had was with the hot water in the master shower. It took some time to adjust the knobs properly to get hot water. But all in all it was a great place to stay.

Overall we loved the house and location. We were a bit surprised (but looking back shouldn’t have been) that house had no oven. My wife planned a meal that needed the oven We realize now it never said it had one. Otherwise all was great.

Cute little house

House was very clean, nice neighborhood very easily accessible. We just were never made aware that since the house is listed for sale that the property would randomly be shown by realtors (who accompanied families) and they’d just be walking in during our stay. That was really unsettling because we never knew if during our stay and we were out, if people would be walking through while our belongings were left unattended. And having a realtor walk in and wake us from a nap was definitely not fun either so communication could be worked on between owners and people staying.

In need of maintenance

Poorly maintained. A lot of stuff not working, such as ice maker, fans, shower heads. Simple fixes, no one seems to care.

Cute little house

House has been nicely remodeled. Someone clearly put in effort in the decor. It’s nice that it feels intentional and not just left over furniture someone put in their rental, especially at such a reasonable price point. Screened in patio was nice. The kitchen amenities were ok. No oven or dishwasher. Being a short term rental it’s fine. Just remember to buy a dish sponge. If you wanted specific kitchen items (e.g. a whisk or large frying pan) I’d bring that with, but not everyone cares about that. There was a coffee maker which was enough for us ;-)

Bad Stay

There was no oven. We took food to cook but couldn’t. Shower knobs were difficult to operate. Host wanted to show house during our stay. We were not made aware of the house being for sale at the time of booking. Parking was horrible unless you have a small compact vehicle. We were supposed to get reimbursed for a day due to the host needing to show property but have not been so far. I would not recommend this property to anyone

The home was located just a short distance from the main street in Fredericksburg. Very comfortable king size beds in the 2 bedrooms. Bathrooms are nice with plenty of room and fresh towels. Parking is located behind the unit and away from the street. There is a nice screened in porch on the back and an open porch on the front.
