Additionally, the property is fully landscaped with a large backyard complete with a 2-person hammock and the sound of a soothing fountain.

Just Perfect for us Aussies

Helen Louise was our little “ peace” of heaven in Fredericksberg where we based ourselves to explore the Hill Country over three days. The property had every possible amenity.. just fabulous and we've stated in many VRBO and other properties in our time .. this was one of the best! Sitting out in the serene backyard with the birds and beer/ wine .. just great! Thank you Beth and Max for letting us stay in your special place.. and for all the lovely extra surprises left for us .. so much appreciated. Whilst mobility issues prevented us walking into town Ubers were easy available. Until next time …..

Third stay at this amazing house!

Friends and I have made Fredericksburg an annual trip and we’ve now stayed at the Helen Louise house three times. We couldn’t imagine staying anywhere else…the thoughtful touches, the cleanliness of the entire house, the back porch (perfect for morning coffee!), the communication with the host Beth, it’s all great! See you next year!

Whimsical and Comfortable!

We loved our stay! The property was very clean, the beds were very comfortable, and there were nice surprises - snacks and a bottle of local wine. The decore was cute and whimsical - little touches in every room and even the outdoors spaces, made this a truly lovely and fun place to stay. The host was very communicative prior to our check-in so everything went very smoothly. This is a delightful 2 bedroom home in every sense of the word. We would definitely stay here again!

Very nice place

Picture of outside doesn't do the inside justice. Our group thought it was one of the nicest Vrbo/air-bb we have been in. Lovely perks like snacks sodas, even a bottle of wine, were waiting for us. Accommodations are light and airy and homey. Beautiful backyard with the screened patio. Bicycles in the garage to use. We would definitely stay here again if we come back to this town.

Perfect walk to Main St for 2 couples.

***Only negative inaccuracy is that the property claims there is a hot tub. There is no hot tub. There is only one small, old fashion style shower/tub combo and then in the master bath there is a remodeled shower only. Not a big deal but the listing needs to be changed. Otherwise, this place is awesome. It is very walkable to Main Street. Even a slow casual walk it’s only 15-20 minutes to get there. Obviously a super short drive if you don’t want to walk. The beds are comfy and the ceiling fans work great. The screened sitting area on the back is perfect for two couples just to chill and chat. We spent several hours out there since the weather was so pleasant. The kitchen coffee setup is nice. French press, nespresso and regular drip coffee all available with beans provided for fresh grinding! Neighborhood is very quiet and in March there are blue bonnets everywhere! Nice big smart tv in living room too. We loved our stay and will definitely stay here again when we come back to Fredericksburg.

About the host

Hosted by Helen "Beth" Plevich

Max and I (Beth) own and manage the Helen Louise House, named after my mother. We bought the house in 2016 because we love Fredericksburg and love riding our bikes around the Hill Country. Since we live in Austin, we decided to rent the house, when we ourselves aren’t able to use it. We hope you’ll love the house as much as we do!
